Gulf Shores Part 1

We went to Gulf Shores Alabama for our summer vacation, and we had a great time! I of course took plenty of pictures!!

 

Hello, is anybody out there??

Hello blog world, I have been gone for a long time, a lot of things starting happening in our house shortly after the last post and I just never got around to posting. Everything is fine now, we just hit a rough patch in life. I will post tomorrow and try to catch up!!

{Great Holiday Fun}

We had the BEST 4th of July holiday! We had our family over and had a blast! Lots of eating,  swimming, trampoline jumping, kids playing, adults visiting!

{4th Planning}

The 4th of July is sneaking up on us, as I was looking at my calendar I couldn't believe the 4th is next week, what the what??? I love this holiday though, I really love red, white & blue, it just screams summer to me.

We have just gotten an above ground pool and will put it up this weekend, we are so excited about this as we have wanted one for awhile.  So the 4th will be spent at our house with our family.  We will grill some hot dogs and have some yummy sides, family, swimming and good food is just about the best ever to me!

These shelves are my "fun seasonal shelves" I like to dress them up to the 9's, and I am so proud of it right now, I love it! it makes me happy to look at it.

 I am definently making these, so festive and no doubt they will be good.

 These pop rock cookies look so fun!

 And of course Hannah and I just have to dress our nails up.

This dip is cowboy caviar, I pinned it along time ago and hear it is so good, so you always need a good dip for your picnic.  And I know we will have more things but this is what is planned for now. 

So, have you started making plans for the 4th?

Do you ever visit Groopdealz, www.groopdealz.com  if not, you are certainly missing out!



I started ordering from them at the first of the year, I had heard so much about it from blogland and how the deals were so good on boutique items.

 

 I have bought scarves, necklaces, and most recently the above.  I ordered bracelet #2 and I got the white watch, the watch is an Anthropologie inspired! who wouldn't love that.  The best part is the bracelet was $2.50 and the watch $11.99! I have been needing a new watch and can't wait to get these in the mail. 

 

The fun part is that they come from 2 different boutiques so I can count on 2 days of fun mail and who doesn't love a great little package waiting in the mailbox, and best of all with shipping and all it was less than $20, and for a bargain gal like myself this is pure bliss to me!  Now go buy yourselves something fun, just for you!

Five on Friday

1. I am a BAD blogger, I know I am and I make no apology, its what it is.

2. I really want to blog on a regular basis again, and I have great intentions, that has to count for something huh??

3. Summer is here and its hot here in East Texas, the kids are out and already having a fun summer with friends!

4. I got a kindle reader a few months ago and love it, why I didn't get one sooner is beyond me, its life changing I tell ya!

5. Life is good here in our house and I am so thankful!
