Belated Mother's Day Weekend Recap

So...I meant to post this last Monday, 

but today will have to do!

Mother's Day weekend was a blur. We spent Saturday

in Searcy with the in-laws. 

Aaron's brother was graduating high school so ALLLLL their family was in town.

It had rained all day and was pretty muggy, so 

graduation was inside. Kind of disappointing, because we had to sit in the balcony due to a huge turnout.

Sunday we spent in Bryant with my family.

I really wanted to spend Mother's Day with my mom...since I know it is a difficult holiday for her. Plus my middle 

brother was finally home for the summer from 

college, so I wanted to get some family time in :)

Confessional Friday

I am linking up again with Leslie @ A Blonde Ambition for a "Friday Confesh Sesh."

Yes...I really just said that.

1) I am pretty (VERY VERY) sad that GCB has been cancelled. No, it didn't have the best actors or the best over-all plot, but it was a guilty pleasure of mine and now it's GONE. :(

2) I may or may not have recently become even more obsessive over my teeth, IF that is even possible. Some people get excited over a new outfit or magazine... I get excited about new oral hygiene products. I have recently bought some new mouth wash and I think I have literally burned some of my taste buds off...but my enamel sure is being "strengthened" (I hope)

3) My in-the-car-driving "concerts" have gotten out of control. Don't worry, I DID see you staring at me today Lady...

judge away.

4) I am a professional "creeper" when it comes to social media. If my friends/family want info about someone or something, I can usually find out. Where there's a will, there's a way... ;)

5) Aaron has taken off the next week from work & we have NO plans. Our week will consist of going and doing what we want, when we want. I can't wait :) He is long overdue to have a break and since I'm playing the waiting game with acceptance letters, we both need some time to unwind and relax.

I'm packing the suitcase at random and I love it.

oh...and Monday is our 1 year anniversary. 

That's not a confession. 

I was just sharing because I am proud.

I love my husband and can't wait for 74 more years with him.

:)

Have a lovely day,

Holly

What I'm Loving Wednesday (05.16.12)

Here's a quick version what I'm loving today!

1) Messy summer styles to keep your hair off your neck! I am ALL about these lately. With my thick, wavy hair, styles like these are a blessing!

2) Relaxed, flowy dresses. The last thing you want is your dress sticking to you when it's almost 100 degrees and humid this summer!

Love the color palette too!

3) Special occasions. I can't wait to get official settled (aka: buy a house) and start hosting parties. PInterest gives me so many ideas and I really want to start having get-togethers with friends once we have some more space (aka: a yard).

How cute are these cupcakes in a jar?

You could even do specific colors for certain occasions!

LOVE.

4) Mickey/Minnie-themed TOMS.  Saw these on Pinterest (again) and thought, "Why order them when I can MAKE them?!" So next thing on the to-do list....invest in some red TOMS. :) 

I <3 DISNEY.

Have a lovely day!

Today's Mood.

This is the mood around the house today...

Needless to say,

Marley & I are going to have a quiet, lazy day around the house. 

Aka: I'll do housework and Marley will sleep on the couch.

I can't really blame him though...

It IS Monday, after all.

Have a lovely/lazy day,

Holly
