Hot Cocoa and Donuts

Several weeks ago I dabbled with homemade hot cocoa.... It was good, but not worth all the trouble when you can just open a pack of diet swiss miss and its ready in a minute and a half. This past weekend the weather was CRAY! We had freeze warnings at night and then it would hit mid 60's during the day... 

Cold weather makes me want hot cocoa and chocolate glazed KK donuts. 

BUT

I fought the urge and reminded myself of BIKINIS! 

{so I stared at these pictures like a freaking lunatic} 

COME ON FULL TIME SPRING! 

Lobsta Face

Don't judge me- no makeup. ;)

Last thursday I had a chemical peel. When I left it looked phenomenal, when I woke up friday it was still looking great, and then saturday I woke up and I was covered in hives. My ear lobes are going to be the death of me. They are super sensitive already and now they itch and ugh. Just know I am miserable! I'm hoping that this will all be gone by thursday! {FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED}

Oh and if you noticed the bling on my nose, NO it is not real, I just stuck it on to see what it would look like.

DONT FORGET TO MAIL YOUR VALENTINE'S OUT!!

Belated Merry Christmas

I hope that y'all had an amazing Christmas full of laughter, family, and made memories for a lifetime. My family and I went to Pigeon Forge, TN! We rented a cabin and snuck Daisy and Charlie in (shhh.. Don't Tell!). I'll post pictures of our weekend this week. 

Here are a few pictures of the cabin:

How was your Christmas? Did Santa bring everything you've been lusting for?

New Whip

This weekend was wonderful. J and I went home to celebrate one of my dear friend's wedding day. She was such a beautiful bride. I wish them both a lifetime full of happiness. 

 My hot mama was my date, and whoa she looked saucy. J wasn't able to come with us because he had "work" ... but when I pulled up to the house I saw this...

My beautiful '12 Limited Explorer with the EcoBoost!!! IM SO EXCITED ABOUT IT! 

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! (and I LOVE my ah-mazz-ing hub)

I had to say goodbye to ole' faithful, kind of bitter sweet. 

What did you do this weekend?

Sista' Surprise

About two weeks ago Autumn, my sister, said that she was going to be coming home this weekend. Then, last week, she informed us she wouldn't be able to make it because of a social. Well... Yesterday I found out that she WAS going to be coming- YAY! So I got to spend a little bit of time with her (a little is better than nothing). Here is a picture from late last night..

It's funny... As I get older and I hug my family it becomes more than a hello hug. I'm not quite sure what you would call it, but I find myself hugging my sister tighter and longer than I used to. I guess its because deep down I know they will slowly get fewer and far between. By no means am I saying I won't see her, but a hug every six weeks from her makes me sad. Bleh... Done with the gushy stuff.

Do  you have any fun weekend plans?
