15/52 Passion Play and Easter !

 Last week Monday started off with an INSANE Hail Storm! I was laying in bed and heard this terrible noise, I hopped out of bed to see golf ball size hail everywhere. I have never seen such hail before!
 So obviously I had to take a lot of pictures!
 My Book holder was dry so I hung it up on the wall.


 It was Day 2 of my Almay Foundation/Self Tanner Two in One, and I was liking it!
 Other things I loved last week. Dollar General's Chocolate Animal Crackers and re-watching Greys Anatomy from the beginning. 
 Wednesday was Day 3 of my Makeup Trial and I was starting to see some color on my face! Pretty Exciting!! It was also beautiful outside!

 After seeing Andrea's (momfessionals.com) Easter Decor I got inspired to write out some of my favorite lyrics on my chalkboard. And yes, I barely fit it on there. I went around singing this song the whole week long.
 Thursday was Day 4! And a great day! Now that I actually have an hour break, and time to eat dinner and not rush around between students it is so much less stressfull!
 My last students of the evening have an ADORABLE little brother who loves to come in and give Miss Charity a hug. Tonight he wanted to show off his piano skills. He was quite good at playing Forte... :) :) :)

 Friday was Day 5,and I was really noticing some color on my face! For this Casper girl it was exciting!
 Wondering what I was going to do on the following days when I would need two hands.
 Friday night after I was done teaching Emboz picked me up and we went to see The Passion Play! It was great, but Madi was not so much into pictures. She just wanted it to start so she could see her Sissy.
 Our selfie's went along this line......
 Group shot at the end of the performance.
 By the time the play was over, it was way past Madi's bedtime and she was fading fast. We were outside the theatre talking to the cast and she was leaning on my side, while i rubbed her back.  She's also eating a sucker that I promised her if she was good during the performance.

Funny story, I carry a large purse. And usually people make fun of me. But that purse of supplies came in handy Friday night! First Em needed a tissue, then Madi needed some Water, then Em needed a Ricola, after that Madi needed some more water. Then Madi was hot, so I gave her the ice pack I always carry. (Long story) She didn't quite know what to do with it. haha so she gave it back. A little while later Em leans over and says "Hey, can I use that Ice Pack to ice my knee?" Girl, I got you!!! Then Madi needed a tissue,and at the very end I let her pick candy from my emergency snack bag. Which apparently I need to refill as I only had a sucker, and a mini candy cane. HA!

Anways, I thought it was hilarious and felt like I was prepared for Motherhood, at least the carrying around enough stuff for 5 people part of motherhood :)
 We found our Star of the show outside. Bethanne looked so grown up and professional on stage!
 B and her fan club.

 We went inside for something and ran into Jesus. So obviously we had to #SelfieWithJesus which has now become my most liked picture on facebook of 2017. HA!
 Em dropped me off at home around 9:30 and I decided to run over to Dollar General to get the items I still needed for Easter Sunday, so I could stay home on Saturday. I lined up all of my non perishables to be ready to cook.
 Saturday I did a mixture of bumming around and preparing for Easter. I cleaned my house and got the kitchen and the table scape ready. I thought it was so pretty!
 However I really need to paint my remaining two chairs white. I only keep two chairs out in the kitchen, and always forget my other two in the spare room are blue. Until I get them out for company.....
 Trying to snap an entire outfit picture is really hard! But this is my Easter Sunday look!
 For the second Sunday in a row an  intersection on the way to church was crawling with Policemen, and this time also firemen. It's a good thing I've been leaving extra early the last two weeks!
 I knew the 10:30 service at church would be packed, so I got there over 10 mins early. I realized when I sat down I should document all the earliness. I usually am only sitting down 1-2 minutes early so this was impressive!
 Easter has become My Holiday to host, which I love!! This year we had a small group, just my parents and my honorary Sister Sarah, as we call her. She is a student and now a friend, and this is the third holiday meal she has joined us for. When she left, my Mom said "Goodbye Other Daughter!!" hahahahahah
 While the girls were at the table chatting, Dad moved over to the couch and was out within minutes.
 We talked for an hour or more, and he slept thru that, and our cleaning up. I had to laugh when I came back into the living room and saw he had made himself more comfortable.
 We FINALLY figured out how to take a selfie with the three of us, with everyone's heads, and everyone smiling and looking good. It's a framer!! The key was me standing on my door step.
 Easter was also Day 7 of my makeup trial! On Saturday, Day 6, I switched to the Light/Medium shade and wow did i get tan in a hurry!!! I loved it! I used the same shade on Sunday and it looked great! I HIGHLY recommend this stuff if you are looking for a self tanner or even just a good foundation. It goes on well and has very good coverage. and the best part is if you happen to have allergies and blow your nose 9,000 times a day, it doesn't show where your makeup has rubbed off. It wears very well! (I do set it with my Coty Airspun Powder, because I am an oily girl)
 Getting creative with my finger numbers.
 By this point I'm just entertaining myself!

Also, my nails are 1.00 polish from Dollar General. This post is not sponsored by Dollar General but it should be, because I spend half my life there buying everything!



While we were eating Easter Dinner, the mail truck came and pulled into my drive way and put a package in my mailbox. The looks on my parents faces!!!! Who? What? How are you getting Mail? ON EASTER????!! Around here if you have an Amazon Prime order they deliver on Sundays. After buying this item from another seller and them never shipping it, fighting to get a refund, and then ordering it again, my Misfit Fitness tracker watch FINALLY arrived!! I was so excited!!!!!  I will hopefully have a detailed review of my thoughts on it next week. Right now I've had it on for about 5 hours and the time is wrong, but it is tracking my steps and movement. I can't wait to see what it says about my sleep! Stay Tuned!!

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
