Weekend Snaps
We started our weekend bright and early on Saturday because Jon had a track meet at my old high school. Ohh the flashbacks, I had when I was there. Afterwards, we were driving by the playground where we go walking on the river and Jon and Juli wanted to stop and run around.
Sunday It was my nieces birthday they decided to have a small bbq at the park. It was a lot of fun, I was kind of dreading it because it was supposed to be pretty hot, but it wasn’t so bad. I was just not prepared for the heat yet, so glad it stayed pretty cool. We ate good bbq and had lots of good laughs. When we got home there was a nice colourful sky.
Lets catch up
We’re working on potty training Juliana, if you guys have any tips or suggestions please pass them my way. She just does not seem very interested at all. With Jonathan, I believe I mentioned before it was super easy, he just pretty much decided he was going to do it one day.
I also decided to finally join a gym for the first time !!! I go on a tour of Planet Fitness Monday. I’ll let you know how that goes, I hope I like it.
I’m so excited I picked my first college class. I start this summer, I only get to take one class though because it’s a short six week semester. I’m so nervous it’s been 10 years exactly since I graduated high school. And since I never knew what I wanted to study, I didn’t know what career path I wanted. My parents really screwed me always giving me what I wanted, I never had to work hard for anything in my life. It’s no wonder, I’ve always felt so lost with no sense of direction. Then life happened and I just put off college. Even though I’ve had pretty good jobs, it’s always been in the back of my mind to go back to school. So I’m very happy that I’m finally doing it. It’s going to
be a lot of work, but I believe I’m ready for it.

For once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.
To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But, in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.
I just finished this book yesterday. Just like all her other books this one made me go through all kinds of emotions. The confessions in this book, that Owen would turn into paintings made this book very captivating. I liked that she had an artist paint the pictures and put it in the book. I thought that was different. I don’t want to give too much away, so I would recommend this book if you guys are looking for something new to read.
You guys have any recommendations on what I should read next?
I was very excited for this show, when I first heard about it. Something different from the drama shows I’ve been watching. And I really like Sutton Foster’s quirkiness, I watched her on Bun Heads and I really liked her character. It’s a story I’ve heard before, parents getting divorced, the mom gave up her career to raise her children. And although raising children is a lot of work, employers don’t see it that way. They see it as being on hiatus for the X amount of years. It’s so wrong!!
You can catch the show Tuesday 10/9c on Tvland or watch full episodes online.
Comment down below! What are you guys up to?? Let’s chat!!
Spring Shopping On My Mind
Easter Fun
I expected it to be packed, but not as much as it was there were thousands of people. I heard there was major chaos during the VIP egg hunt parents trampling over kids. We did the free egg hunts the kids had fun got lots of eggs. After you would exchange the eggs at different stations for handfuls of candy. They also had different activities jump houses, face painting, and different food trucks, but like I said it was just soo packed we didn’t stay too long after the egg hunt.
On Easter, we went to visit my sister in law in Stockton for some delicious food and more egg hunting. Juli is obsessed with eggs since surprise eggs became a thing on YouTube. I really wanted to buy her Kinder eggs, but I could not find any anywhere.They are chocolate eggs with a surprise inside. We had a great time with family ate too much food and way too many sweets.
How to..
- I started with dumping the entire bag of coffee into the gallon of water and letting it sit in my fridge for 12 hours.
- The next morning, I strained it using the coffee filters. Some people use cheese cloth or strain it twice. I just did it once and used the coffee filters because its what I had. I didn’t see any left over coffee grounds in my pitcher when I was done.
- When done straining just leave it in the fridge until ready to enjoy. I read it’s good for up to 30 day’s like it would last me that long.
- Just pour over ice and enjoy. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to try this, it’s perfect for the warmer weather that’s coming.
