Happy Birthday!

Today i am sending a special Happy Birthday wish to that special guy in my life, i call my husband! I couldn't ask for a more caring, hardworking and loving husband, he really is the best guy around ( i might be a little biased though :)) He is going to school and working full time, plus cranking out all these DIY projects at our house! What a guy huh? :)

Macy is so very lucky to have a such a great daddy! She really does love you and she knows you are going to rub her little belly all day if you had time! She says you are lucky to have a such a sweet fur baby :)

We are so lucky to have a great guy in our lives! We love you!!!

I also have to wish my  best friend Emily a Happy Birthday too! Her and my hubby share the same day! Happy Birthday Emily! Hope you get to relax a little tonight after work!!

Until next time!

A new product i LOVE

I am not usually one to post on a product i like, but i had someone tell me about the Mary Kay Lash Primer. They told me i should try and said i would love it! I do not usually buy Mary Kay products, but i thought i will give it a try and let me tell you this stuff is amazing! I just love how easy my mascara goes on after i put this on and also how easy my mascara comes off at night when i was my face! This product is $15, which is not too bad. I am hoping it lasts for awhile!

Have you tried this? If so do you love it? I always looking for new products to try! So if you have a favorite i would love to hear what it is!


 Disclaimer- I was in no way compensated for giving this review, i just wanted to share with you all the love i have for this product!

Until next time!

WOW...

We have been really busy lately, i will be back with an update on that soon!

But, i wanted to share this with you, Saturday the mail came and in it was the electric bill, now it has been really HOT here in Iowa in August, so i was prepared for the bill to be a bit higher than "normal" but as you see, here is what the bill said and to say my jaw hit the floor when i saw this number was an under statement HAHA!

If you can't read that the amount due is $449.14.............................. Yes i about fell over, but i called the energy company to say i think you might have misread the meter, because it is just not possible for 2 people to use that much energy haha, so i had to re-read the numbers to her and it, was a mis read!

Thank goodness, so we will have a new bill that should be around $170.. phew to say the least! I was hoping to get a break in between the gas bills and this one!

On another note, we finished tearing up the carpet and put out that and our railing we replaced to be picked up by the city today! WOOHOO! I will be back with updates on the basement remodeling soon! But i will leave you with a picture of the pile :)

Happy Monday!

Until next time,

Lately...

On my to-do list everyday i write that i need to blog, but it just does not seem to get crossed of my list :(

So what have i been up to lately, i feel like i have been more than busy with work life and home life! On August 10th, Joe and I headed the to the Iowa State Fair, we go every year and usually it is over 100 degrees and this year believe it or not when we first got there we almost needed a sweatshirt! I know a SWEATSHIRT! Believe it, it was only 59 degrees that morning! With the weather being much cooler this year the fair saw the second highest admission to the fair for 10 days with 1,097, 142 people passing through the gates!

We had a wonderful time eating, watching all the people, seeing all the sights, along with the butter cow and this year they had snow white and the 7 dwarfs so cool!

How is the state fair where you live? Every year we attend and really have a great time! I saw this "pin" a few months back and decided i wanted to try it out with Joe :)

I am hoping to add a tab at the top of my blog to add all the pictures we take, i am also looking for a redesign of my blog, any suggestions of places to look, or people who do that? :)

Besides the fair, i went to the see the movie "The odd life of Timothy Green" on Wednesday and let me tell you.... it is the sweetest movie i have seen in a while i recommend going! I was of course tearful at the end!

We have also been busy doing a few projects around the house... i swear the never end, but we really enjoy them and love the way they look in the end!

So has been busy putting a railing up on our stairs in the front of the house, so here is the stair railings, now we are just waiting to do the railing by the front door, when my brother is in town to help :)

Here is the before

Here is the after with the new railing.

Well i think that is enough rambling for today! I hope everyone has a great Friday! I am also hoping to be back with more updates and also the reveal of our kitchen and basement!

Until next time,

A day at the Zoo.

I know you think i am crazy a lady in her late 20's has never been to a zoo, but believe it my friends i have never been until now.......

On Saturday August 4th, i went to the Brookfield zoo in Brookfield Illinois, if you have never been it is a great place to go, it is super clean and very fun! It was really HOT the day we went so the Lions, tigers and bears were not out.... but on our way home from the zoo, it rained really hard and by the time the rain had passed it was 70 outside!  A 30 degree temperature drop in less than an hour! We embraced the cooler weather on Sunday, as it got hot again yesterday.

So with this adventure to the zoo i am crossing # 50 off on my 101 things in 1001 days list! So with that said here are a few pictures of my day at the zoo.

It was so cute to see all the kids say "look mom there is Nemo and Dorey :) Ok, i said that too HAHA!

Hope everyone has a great Thursday! I am off to the Iowa State Fair tomorrow! Check out our state fair here.

Until next time,
<3>
