A very Iowan Thanksgiving!

Weds, my parents and I made the trek to Iowa to spend Thanksgiving with my Bro, SIL and precious nephew! It felt like a very long drive!
Once we got there, we made a pit-stop at Whitey's home to the BEST ice cream you could ever dream of!
I had a very cherry smoothie it was soooooo good!!
We got to their house and Grampy played in Benjamin's box. Mr B wasn't quite sure what to think of that..
Mr B LOVES his eeyore!!! He loves on it and lays his head down, it's sooo sweet! this picture with grampy in the box in the background cracks me up!!
Stinker face!!
A road worn Auntie and Snugglemuffin!!
This could be why he likes Grampy better than Auntie! I was growling at him. He liked it. I promise.
The one decent picture of me and my boy! I just LOVE him!!
hahaha drunk face. one day he will kill me for these pictures. But i'm safe for now!

I think this is such a precious picture! Mommy was putting on Yogi Bear, and Benjamin was helping her out!

Friday I was SOOOOOO excited! Apes came and spent the afternoon with me! We went to The Machine Shed restaurant, which was super cute!! And had some really good blt's!
You know we had to take a car picture! we totally didn't plan on matching in grey!
Ok so we had a little photo shoot at the Shed as well! Apes poses so well!
I was not nearly as cute as her!
Isn't she adorable?! We hung out at the house after with my parents and Mr B. He was pretty shy so he kept cuddling into my chest and under my chin. it was sooo precious. I love it when he's cuddly and shy!
Grampy fed him dinner Friday night. And they had a green bean fight. My nephew is way too smart for his own good! the green bean would get right next to his mouth and he'd chomp it shut and turn his head. and then he'd laugh! what a stinker!! :)
He was pretty proud of himself!
he also got to have cake for the first time! he was a fan. This is his normal pose while sitting. He always has his feet propped up on the end of his chair. Makes it very tickalicious!!
After we opened his birthday presents Grampy read him his Corey Combine book!! Side note, look at his GORGEOUS curls!!! I love his curly hair!!
And the morning before we left. Playing with Corey Combine and VROOM VROOM'ing. That child vroom vroom's all the time. He also moo's. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever! I miss my snugglemuffin allready!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
