THIS IS 54! FRIDAY FAVORITES

We have another day in Sedona (lots to tell about this trip) but I’m popping up a quick Friday Favs to say this is 54 and ask how did I get this old? LOL!

My Birthday was Wednesday, and I could have done a big ole post with 54 reasons I love life or 54 lessons I’ve learned but that’s just too much! I’m simply grateful. I’m grateful for so much, to take another breath, to walk this life with a heart of love, to enjoy simple things in life and most importantly those I love. God gave us all a gift to explore this place called Earth, embrace the blessing of life and the older I get, the more I seize it! Now, with age comes sadness, pain and grief but the joy grows too and with that coupled by love, we know those things don’t last in their depths forever.

A huge joy I had to kick off my birthday week last weekend was a day with Mr. Nine, my mama, one son, his gal and my greatest Joys: the twins. We went to Michigan to an interactive museum, a carousel and had pizza at a favorite beach pizza joint. Great day despite still feeling little under the weather and Just missing the out-of-town kiddos.

 

And a favorite past birthday photo: the twin’s daddy presenting me with birthday shoes!

And my 2nd birthday fell on Easter. My mom made me a bunny cake and my Auntie was in town to help me blow out the candles. Fun Fact: my next Easter birthday will be on my 80th God Willing! And then again on my 85th, lol. 

 

I honestly don't think my family has any idea how important and special birthdays are to me..that is why I try to make everyone feel extra special on their birthday!! Although I wish everyone was, I know most people aren't like that BUT That is who I am.

More about Arizona next week but reminder to come back Monday for our Amazon Link Up! I've got some great finds for warmer weather.

 

 

Yeehaw!! Cheers to another 

54 years! lol.

FRIDAY FAVORITES....REAL WORLD EDITION

Happy Friday friends! Another fast week is in the books. It’s looking like a gorgeous day so I will keep this intro short and get right to some of the fun favorites.

1. Boys
Real World Accessory 
So, our boys are really getting a taste of the real world, in fact some of you may know that the two college boys have started an online shopping website together called RealWorld Accessory. They sell cool watches, hats and sunglasses for guys! They are having fun with it but they needed a little boost so I told them I would feature them on the blog! And I had a ball doing a little photo shoot for them the other night. We thought it was cute that they wore their respective college shirts.

Entering the Real World

This youngest of ours isn’t big into social media, but he will soon be entering the real world as he graduates this weekend and will also be heading off to college. Lots of last times for this kid and our family. A couple weeks ago he had his last time on the mound and wearing the number 9.

 And here is a picture of graduation practice with the 459 graduates.

2. Lip Balm 
I am crazy about lip balm! My favorite night balm will still always be Carmex, and I was the queen of Carmex, back when it only came in the little tubs, in school. Right now, my two favorites are the EOS brand and Raw Sugar line.  

The Raw Sugar pineapple and maqui berry + Coconut smells so much like summer. 

BUY


Sweet Mint has always been my favorite EOS but I recently bought this lavender latte and vanilla at Target and just love it. I love that it’s packaged with one of the little round Balms and the stick.

4. Bubblegum Pink 
I just love bubblegum pink and that color is hard to find! So when I found this cute sleeveless tie front top at JC Penny, I knew it had to be mine and I love it. It comes in lots of other colors as well. I thought it looked really fresh paired with raw hem boyfriend jeans and white pumps.

DELTA DAWN

We did not watch the CMT is on Wednesday night but aa soon as my mom told me Tanya Tucker was on there singing Delta Dawn, I quickly watched it and downloaded the YouTube performance. When I was little girl, Delta Dawn was my favorite song and I used to sing it, sometimes in the grocery store! I would belt it out as loud as I could so this was so much fun to watch.

Pineapple Wallpaper & Katie Kime

I just discovered Katie Kime and I am in love with every single thing on her website. From wallpaper, Home decor, fashion, paper goods, art prints, etc...so bright, so cheery and I LOVE IT ALL!!
