Etsy love

Lately I have been browsing Etsy for some great fashion finds.  I came across this shop and I am absolutely in love!  I love wearing headbands but can never find any that I absolutely love, well lookey here, I have found some fabulous head bands. 

Check out this seller, she is now added to my favorites!

Litte Shea's

Electric Orchid has some amazing headbands as well....Check this one out!

Hmmmm, decisions, decisions....So many fancy headbands, and only one head!!

A $2.50 find

A few weeks ago I was out shopping at Hobby Lobby when I came across this little diamond in the rough. It was on the 70% off aisle and after that it was another 30% off or something crazy like that. So it was practically free! It originally started at $24.99 and when it caught my eye the price was right at $2.50.

I immediately thought it would look great in a white/creamish color. I got it home and it sat in my garage for about two weeks, then today I started and finished this little gem! \

Before, not digging all the gold

After, after a quick coat of spray paint and a little sanding before and after.

In total I've spent $4.00 on thei project.  Not to shabby if you ask me!

Serenity

I needed to remind myself of this....Although I think I may be able to control every aspect of our lives, the reality, I can not....

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful worldas it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things rightif I surrender to His Will;That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with HimForever in the next.Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Iowa State Fair

Today B and I made our way to the greatest fair in the world, the Iowa State Fair. Everything is either fried, comes on a stick or is a foot long, can't get any better than that! The fair boasts a life size cow made of butter, a boar weighing over 1000 pounds and a steer over 3000 pounds and even a pork queen. Yes, there is even a contest to detemine the largest one cow and pig!

Beautiful Iowa sunsets

Pork Chops on a stick.....Only in Iowa!

Foot long corn dogs are a must!

If you are ever in this neck of the woods in August, you must visit! It's well worth it, your belly will be full, you'll see enough mullets to last you a life time and you can't beat friendly Iowans!

Miss Stella turns 4!

A few weeks ago our niece Stella turned 4 years old! I can still remember the day she was born. Seems like yesterday, but instead of diapers and rattles, she loves everything pink, princess and Hanna Montana!

B and I have started taking each of our nieces and nephews out for a birthday outing with their Auntie and uncle. They get so many presents each birthday, we thought this would be a fun way for us to spend time with each one indivudually and do something they would like.

This year Miss Stella wanted to go and pick out an outfit. So we did just that. We went to the mall and she picked out a striped dress and shoes from Gap Kids and then we thought she needed some tights or socks. Well low and behold she picked out the striped socks....B and I suggested te plain navy ones and she agreed.

We then went to Stellas Diner for some milk shakes and grilled cheese. She absloutely loved it!! On the way home she was out like a light!!! All in all a good birthday celebration for the new 4 year old princess!

All smiles on her special day!

Happy Monday!

Disaster zone

Today I was gone most of the day for work. B called me on my way home and said I left you a surprise. He then stayed on the phone with me until I arrived at Casa de A&B.

Here's a little backstory, we have been keeping my parents dog Sparkie while they are out of commission. So Sparkie has a bed that used to be Ruby's. He brought it for his stay at our house.

Ok, back to my point. So I get home and Sparke comes to meet me at the door. I got into our bedroom and here's what I see.......

Sparkie wondering what the heck has happened to my comfy bed!!!

Ruby that little stinker had chewed holes in Sparkies bed and removed most of the stuffing. The bed actually has two parts, a cushion and the bed with a stuffed rim. So I then stuffed it all back in the bed and sewed it up! B and I both got a good laugh out it and Ruby was so scared she wouldn't even get off hte bed, until I went and rubbed her head! All in all, this was too funny not to share!

Blessings

Today as I was driving along for no apparent reason I started thinking how blessed I truly am. I know sometimes we all tend to focus on what isn't going prefectly in our life, but today I am going to take a minute and list 5 reasons I am so blessed.....I would like to make this a weekly gig, but who knows if I will remember!! We shall see.....

1. My amazing family.....we laugh, we cry, we support each other, doesn't get any better than that!

2. My sweet puppy! We have now had her for over a year and I can't imagine our lives without her!

3. Our good health, we haven't had to deal with any major illnesses and I am so thankful!

4. A great job! In a time like this I am so blessed to have a stable job that I love!

5. Wonderful friends. What would I do without these amazing women!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!
