I'm a recent fan to Duck Dynasty but last night I was bored and needed to relax so I watched the DD marathon. Best decision I could have made, I laughed till it hurt.

I'm from the country and I can honestly say that my dad and brother love to hunt, fish, and do lots of things that are experienced on this show but the extent they go to kills me! Uncle Si makes me want to kiss him because he entertains like nobody's business.

Just watch this video and promise me you didn't laugh. But, I won't believe you!



If you don't watch Duck Dynasty, tune in. I really think you'll enjoy a laugh or 20,000. 

Today in school was crazzzzy. It's been gray and gloomy all day and I could have slept for the last hour of school. No worries though-- I didn't. Our kiddos have been coo-coo crazy and all over the place. I guess they are getting "almost spring break" fever.  Ah... that reminds me 16 days till I am visiting Emily & Josh in DC, and also taking a little trip to NYC! I can't wait. :)
Best and I will fill you in on instagram, twitter and facebook. PROMISE!

Sweet Harper had a bath tonight (hear that Nonna?) and she was conked out! She laid in my lap for 20 minutes and snoozed on. :)

One of my favorite pictures from this weekend. Our dresses were classy Southern and I loved our flowers too! We were on the Double Decker taking pictures when this was taken.

Feeding my leopard print obsession today! Added this purse and belt to the collection. DOTS is a store that the best introduced me to and I adore their line of clothes. Check out the website and see if they have a store near you.

*wasn't asked or compensated to share that bit of info. Just personal experience.

God blessed me with some precious friends! Alyssa who I have known for what feels like my entire life sent this Valentine's Day package today. I love snail mail and this made my heart leap! She knew that as a Single gal, I could use some encouragement. 

Thank you, Alyssa! :)

Tomorrow is Friday and a Field Trip for this teacher. All prayers will be appreciated!

Thursday Brain Jumble.

Just going to share what is on my heart tonight.

Nothing serious, nothing life-changing, just life.

Couponing

I really, really want to learn how to do this money saving thing. I have, for years, been clipping coupons but just using them randomly for things that I thought I had to have. I've now learned that you have to save them for when things go on sale and that's when these "extreme coupon" methods come into place. 

I would love to know how to do it more! :)

Life

Life is sweet. I am enjoying this time to be myself, enjoy my career that I've chosen, and do my Own thing. It's nice and bittersweet at the same time.  Lots of friends are getting married, having babies, starting jobs, and it's just a sweet season of life.

I'm so thankful for I feel that I am right where God would have me in this little life of mine. Thank you, Lord! I'll praise you even when the storms get rough.

The iPhone software

Isn't it wonderful? It's like having a brand new phone. Thanks, Caitlyn for telling me to 

" Go Home and update." :) Seriously, she's a pro. 

School, Wants, Ideas

My children made these pumpkin patterns, and pumpkins to decorate the hallway. So sweet! I love their creative artwork. They just love it! :)

This is a Pinterest idea. Bought one of these at a thrift store the other day. Can't wait to see how it turns out! :)

Notice the turquoise bandwagon..

I want, need, have to have this watch!

It's sooo cute!

but I also must remember...

God has blessed me so much! Hopefully, I'm a blessing to someone in this world of mine.

To God Be The Glory! 

Happy Thursday... It's Almost FRIDAY! :)
