Friday Five

Housewife checking in before the Single Gal murders me for not blogging. So here we go from my iPad. It's taking my mind off the horrible loss Alabama had last night. Can I just say OU would have been ranked higher if their quarterback had played the entire season? I find it hard to believe Auburn could whip them either. Anyway, big sads over here. Sorry for lack of pictures, I will try to link to everything. 

1. Kirkland Sumatra Coffee 

Y'all know I'm a coffee snob and love my Starbucks but I've found a valant replacement. (Costco brand.)

2. Eleanor and Park 

I haven't read a Young Adult book in awhile, this one was very good. Eleanor doesn't have the best home life and she meets Park on the school bus. Check it out. Thought my heart would break. 

3. Physicians Formula Eye Shadow Pallet in Nude
This is a very appropriate drug store dupe of the Naked pallet. Not as many colors but who needs more than what's in here? I think it was $10?

4. Courtney Loves Dallas
Enough said. Love that girl, lover her show.

5. Valspar Paint Samples from Lowes
Only 2.98 and you can paint samples of paint colors on your walls. So you don't have to be like me and hope after your two walls into painting a room, that your husband doesn't like it either, so he will start all over again. I know, not a new thing.

We are in the process of moving #1 into a new room. We have an empty bedroom that has a bathroom attached to it. It is the largest bedroom, besides the Master, but gives her more room. If she is not going to nap then I can at least set her up better with toys and I won't have to let her out to go to the bathroom.

Y'all have a great weekend. 

Hello, Friday.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have wonderful weekend plans.  I was going through some images today that just say "weekend" to me.  

Yawns. Coffee. Eating outside. Take out & long runs. Books.

And, lets not forget to show all those moms out there lots of love! 

Love you. Mean it.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

The Single Gal has been doing such hard work these past weeks. Let's pat her on the back. I fill her with lots of empty promises these days, but I have a good excuse (IMO). I'll decide if I will divulge that information later. I know y'all love cryptic things. I've been pretty happy with some things lately so I thought I would do one of these post for you.

Laura Mercier Mineralized Pressed Powder

The Single Gal recommended this powder to me. I've actually been a MAC Studio Fix gal for years and I had a Sephora gift card to use from Christmas and I ordered this. I'm pretty impressed. The color is great and it lasts most of the day without touch ups. I don't have time for touch ups anymore. I need more hands than the octo-mom lately.

Kendra Scott Carly Stud Earrings

I was searching for a birthday gift for my seriously stylish friend so naturally I deferred to Kendra Scott. The Single Gal and I are huge fans of the Danielle earrings but my friend is a mom also and her son is a few weeks older than the twins. Once those little hands start grabbing things dangling earrings are their first choice. I must say I may have to put these gems on my birthday list. This is the slate color I got my friend but you can choose from many color choices as they are part of the Color Bar.

Starbucks Dark French Roast

This stuff is my go to coffee and the only thing I prefer to drink. I'm particular. I always lug my personal coffee maker to our annual beach vacation because I do not trust what is waiting for me. Mr. Coffee is not where its at for me. I'm a Cuisinart girl. I like my coffee bold. Turtle and I pick up a giant bag of this from Costco and we grind it pretty fine on the coffee machine since it comes in bean only. I'll tell you a funny story about that. We started going to Costco maybe 6 months ago. We only buy a few things there and I wanted to buy the coffee but it only came in beans. I didn't want to have to grind coffee everyday so we tried different things which where all vomit in my opinion. One day the skys opened up and angels sang and we realized that there were coffee grinder machines after check out where you can grind the whole damn bag. We're special like that.


If you need me I'm either taking #1 potty, feeding some small person, changing diapers or putting pacifiers back in their mouths.

The Housewife

Paradise

I hope they aren't running computer reports today at work, because I never blog at work but I am today. But if anyone asks, it took me less than 5 minutes, I'm on my lunchbreak, and it's nothing offensive.

I found this quote today and I think it may be the sweetest thing I've ever seen, and if I were ever to get married, I would be happy forever if my husband said this about me.

"This morning, with her, having coffee."

~Johnny Cash, when asked for his definition of paradise.~

Love you. Mean it.
