Life Lately...!

Good Monday to you all! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends. I sure did! Today I'll share a little story and some pics of my life lately.....

Saturday my sister, cousin, and I went to a few wineries and out to lunch. We had a GREAT day!

Also, last weekend, I updated the bedroom at my boy's house. Technically I guess it's my house, too, now. Took the big plunge.....! Hooooooo. Anywho, things are going great over here in sunny McL- minus the fact that the sun hasn't shone in about 3 months. Who is ready for summer? Can I get an amen?

I'm thinking about starting a couple DIY projects pretty soon. I'll try to remember to take pics and post here so that all of our followers (yehhh) can see my progress! Here are a few of the things I want to do this spring:
1) Paint the spare bedroom.... Gotta get this done, boys.
2) Update a few of the old frames I have with some hot spray paint and new pics!
3) I want to turn an old end table into an ottoman.... This is pretty ambitious, but I am going to try!
4) I need to buy a new rug and redo the living room... Not really a DIY, but a big project for sure.

Also, Valentine's Day is coming up! What are you getting for your loves? Mine has a newfound interest in guns.....weird, I know. So, I need to get him an accessory for his newest toy. What should it be? Maybe a hot pink shooting vest? Lol.

Over and out, ladies and gents. Happy Monday to ya.

Random Wednesday

{Random Wednesday}

Well I have been busy with my design jobs on the side! I created a baby shower invitation and a logo for a country band. Here's the shower invitation. Yippie!! That's all I got because I don't really know what to blog about. Ha! -Amy

New Year's Resolutions...(sore subject?)

Welp, decided to finally blog people - hope you're happy. I'm new to this whole blogging thing so my first couple probably won't have too many pictures or my old AIM font but whatevs. So I joined a gym last week and met with a personal trainer last night. You would have thought I never worked out in my life. It has honestly only been a month of not working out but I could definitely tell. He kept saying, "Are you ok? Are you going to pass out?". ha ha, I must have looked like i was really struggling!! Embarrassing. Oh well, it is the first step towards one of my resolutions. Get in shape for these summer weddings. Really I am just worried about my "Bye-bye" arms...know what I'm talking about? So of course we all have New Year's Resolutions...are we sticking to them? I feel like I make the same one year after year...why can I just do it one year and then I can think of the new one the next year. Of course, it is NOT a sin to have more than one. My family (immediate and extended) have made a pledge to do the 26 random acts of kindness in honor of the 26 Sandy Hook Elementary School victims. I believe this was started by Ann Curry from the Today show. So we have taken the pledge, have you? It really does feel good to do something for someone else unexpectedly. I feel as if I have been slacking a little. It shouldn't be hard but I have only done two and it is almost the end of January. Have you done any random acts of kindness lately? How does it make you feel? I honestly don't think it has to be anything extravagant. But as long it is something you would not normally do. There is a facebook link if anyone would like to check it out:

Anyway, I think it is a neat idea. It make you feel better while helping out someone else!

Happy blogging!

Weekends...!

Last night as I'm lying in bed watching a Kardashian marathon, I couldn't help but think about how nice it was to relax!! I just love the weekends......and (don't judge) sometimes mindless TV! In keeping with my resolution, I am trying to enjoy my life more and be present. So, Iast night, I was just thinking about how much my life will likely change in the next few years.... I'd say I'll have babies running around before I know it and I'll be praying for some alone time with a Kardashian session! It was nice to just soak up some relaxation over the weekend.

I tried a new spinach dip recipe out over the weekend, too! I used fresh spinach, instead of frozen, and sauteed that before mixing it in with the cheeses. It was so delish! I really think the fresh spinach made the taste more noticeable! I loveeee cooking! I also made chicken wings last night....but I tried doing it in the oven since it was so cold out. BAD IDEA, boys. The kitchen/dining room was so smokey!! Had to open up the windows and doors and air that stuff out. So ridic.

Since I suck at remembering to take pics for this blog, I'll leave you with an oldie but goodie. This is Jase and I at Christmas this year at his mom's. Love that boy.

PS- Bachelor tonight....and sloppy joes at my house! (turkey burger of course...don't get me started on ground beef.... blehhhh)

Happy Monday peeps!

Macie wants to say hi to everyone! 

Idol Wives..

So a new season of idol has started meh. I am not sure how I feel about it. Poor Keith Urban is stuck in the middle of the drama. It seems like they were focusing a lot of attention on the arguing between Mariah and Nicki..annoying. Simon says.. stop fighting! Last thing I have to say about idol is Kelly Clarkson.....love her. Doesn't make sense but thought I would throw her name out there. Moving on. Sister wives.. Who watches? The show is about a polygamist Family. Cody Brown is pretty much a stud with four wives. He's actually not cute at all, his hair is redic. You would think with 4 wives he would be some big hottie, not so much sisters. So for some reason I really like the show. And for Christmas I got the book Becoming Sisterwives....redic I know. So come to find out wife number 2s mom is a sister wife to Cody's dad and before wife 2 married cody brown she was married to wife number 1s brother! Awkward! I feel like they don't think that is weird, but it definitely is not normal. Technically wife number 1 is having sex with her brother...just sayin.  My germs! It's all a big circle of life for them. Being married to 4 people ain't right, but they seem like Legit normal everyday people and I think that's why that show intrigues me? That is all.
