Birchbox #2!

I received my second birchbox a couple of days ago! I have to admit, I had decided that if I wasn’t in love with this box I was going to cancel. I all of a sudden just saw millions of samples of stuff I wouldn’t use in my make up drawer and it almost gave me a heart attack! HA!

But, I’m in love. So, there you go!20120509_162756Ignore my messy desk and the annoying phone pic! It’s been a busy week here at the office! Who am I kidding? My desk is always a disaster!

There’s Stila GLITTERY!!!!!! liquid eyeliner, an Arquiste perfume sample, volumizing shampoo, lotion and a note card. Now, what in the world is that random note card for? I thought that was strange.

I was sold on the glitterly eye liner. But it is NO JOKE. I put it on just playing around the other night and it took 57 cotton balls soaked in eye make up remover to get it off!!!!!

Let’s just say I won’t be canceling my birchbox subscription!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! The kiddies and I are off to watch a Miracle League Baseball game in the morning!! I don’t think I blogged about it but I was part of a fundraiser that raised over $3000 for the Miracle League! So we’re presenting them with a check tomorrow!! Can’t wait!

Shark Tooth Creek

On Monday I went with my little buddy Peyton and his class to the Shark Tooth Creek! We had so much fun! Mr. Ken, the owner, is SO awesome with children!

We started out on the Shark Tooth Express and rode deep into the woods. Then we had a short hike to the creek. It is crazy how many shark teeth are down there! But when you think of it, sharks can have up to ten thousand teeth in a lifetime so it’s really not crazy at how many there were when you think of it that way! That was your science lesson for the day. You’re welcome!

Fuzzy Wuzzy

The cuteness that these silkie chickens bring to Cluckingham Palace is insane! Their feathers are just like fur, so soft.

In just a couple of weeks they have gone from this…DSC_0431_thumb[1] To this…

We only have 5 now. :( Hubs had to put one down. It’s leg was messed up and it was getting to where it couldn’t walk. We gave it a few weeks thinking it may correct itself but it didn’t. Eventually, when it was grown it wouldn’t be able to walk at all. Boo.

  In other news, decorating the coop is coming right along! Just need a few more flowers and a sign! Yes, I said more flowers. Flower freak.DSC_0246

Pinning!

I thought I would share some of my recent pins! Since some of y’all have not signed up for pinterest yet! GASP! All of these images came from Pinterest but I can’t direct link right now because my pins can’t be fetched at this time! :)
This is one of my new favs! Can’t wait to replicate this! I can NEVER find a cute garden flag with a “C”! Burlap Garden Flag
Right now I’m loving some ruffly (that so IS a word!) curtains! Just got to figure out how to make them! OH wait, pinterest has a tutorial! Yeehaw!!make curtains using twin sheets.
Out of (2) $4 sheets! Simply LOVE! .

I think this would be perfect for down by the coop! We sit down there alot watching the chickens peck the ground. And eat my flowers. :)swing http://media-cache2.pinterest.com/upload/178736678931411537_yxXE6ha2_f.jpg mccollandlucy exterior and landscaping ideas
I’ve been itching to redo the kids’ rooms. I like these ideas for the boys’ rooms…
What a cool idea for a boy's room!love the green with navy stripes.
And these colors and lamp for Reece’s room…reece
My husband is probably cringing reading this post! Sorry Babe! :)
I also want to redo the laundry room! There’s LOTS of shelf space and storage in there, which I love, but I think we need real cabinets in there! You know, to hide the crap! haha!laundry room
I feel like if the laundry room is cuter, maybe I’ll not mind spending so much time in there! :) It also doubles as Daisy and Chippie’s bedroom so maybe I should give them some say! I think they’ll be good with the blue!
I guess that’s enough sharing for today, but I will be back to share some of my favorite Pinterest recipes soon! I have a Fatty Fatty 2x4 Board and a Healthy board! :)
Toodles!
