Tornado season. I love storms, and truthfully I actually get a little excited when we are supposed to have a good one. However, I am naturally not as big a fan of the nasty side effects of a good southern storm. You know, hail, tornadoes, floods. Fun stuff like that.<br /><br />This year I've decided that we're making a grab and go tote for the fam, including the dogs. I may or may not have been watching a little too much Doomsday Preppers:) Thus far I have gotten new harnesses for the dogs, water, bowls, shelf stable snacks (for us, hah), a few extra flashlights and a radio. Thus far we haven't needed my tote but tonight we're slated for some NASTY weather.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn5.pinterest.com/upload/202943526927875650_g9ILmdCH_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 192px; height: 192px;" src="http://media-cdn5.pinterest.com/upload/202943526927875650_g9ILmdCH_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">With that in mind I have added a few essentials to my storm prep list. I have a route 44 Diet Coke with lime sitting at my elbow.</span><br style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pet.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPETS-10316266_alternate1_r200.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://pet.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPETS-10316266_alternate1_r200.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">I have sufficiently tortured the cats by stuffing both of them into the same carrier. We have a tornado shelter! I forgot to mention that! But it is at the back of our yard and if I'm being completely truthful (and I am) it is eerily similar to the one in Twister! I'm not taking any chances with my furry loves so into the crate for the cats.</span><br /><br style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn6.pinterest.com/upload/173247916885456246_WvpL2tEi_f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 249px;" src="http://media-cdn6.pinterest.com/upload/173247916885456246_WvpL2tEi_f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">I've got my fave Nora books on hand for some light reading during the craziness.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pet.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPETS-9424587t300x300.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://pet.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPETS-9424587t300x300.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">I've actually pulled the new harnesses for the pups out of the tote and squeezed them into them. My golden retrievers' fit nicely. I am almost positive that my poor black lab is losing circulation as we speak! Apparently I under estimated how big she has gotten. All three of them are completely confused as to why they are wearing them and they keep going to the door asking to go out for a walk. Sadly, the only walk we'll get tonight is one to the shelter if need be.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn3.pinterest.com/upload/176133035396199688_dQpCcNg9_f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 600px;" src="http://media-cdn3.pinterest.com/upload/176133035396199688_dQpCcNg9_f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">I've also pulled out the trusty old flashlight. Obviously I'll need to it see if the electricity goes out. More importantly, I'll need it to read my books! </span><br style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><br style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">All in all I am pretty prepared for our imminent storm. If I am forced to drag us all out to the shelter, I am sure that we will come out the other side slightly insane from the barking and meowing. I might actually be insane before we get to the shelter at this rate! </span><br style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><br style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Either way we're ready and my Doomsday urges have been satisfied for now.</span><br style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17662356065345050172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566519704223592453.post-39985833501806994102012-02-25T11:10:00.001-06:002012-02-25T11:10:21.395-06:00New Year, New LovesSo when I said I'd be back in 2012 I really didn't intend for it to be almost March when I blogged again! Where did time go? <br />
<br />
It's Spring, almost Easter and Valentine's Day flew by almost without even being recognized! However good things have been happening in all this chaos. <br />
<br />
Two of my current favorite good things are my new full set of vintage Pyrex and my new Emersonmade jeans. I am officially in a blissful state of delirium over them. I have been wanting a pair since Emerson released her clothing line... At least a year ago! They're mine now and I have to say I will probably never be wearing any other jeans. I am a convert, a believer, a lover of all things Emersonmade and to my hubby's dismay my monthly clothes budget is in need of a growth spurt to support my need of Emerson's line:)<br />
<br />
The Pyrex just makes me smile. It's pink after all and glass so I don't have to worry about storing our food in<br />
Plastic (which I completely obsess over). I was helping my BFF pack and she mentioned needing to get rid of "that pink stuff" because she got it in a lot at a garage sale and she never used it. You better believe I jumped on it and took it home before she had an epiphany and changed her mind! <br />
<br />
All in all life is moving along at a break neck pace; but we're enjoying every second and celebrating as much as we can along the way with little treasures and loves! <br />
<br />

They are almost a dead ringer for the JBrand jeggings/skinny jeans. Love them! They run super small though as a warning. Kind of a hit to the ego:) I already have red jeans but they are men's and fit more in the boyfriend range rather than skinny jeans range. At twenty dollars a pop these Target versions are perfect; especially if you want to try out a trend but don't want to drop the major bucks for the real thing! Go get some! You'll love them, promise!</span><br /></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17662356065345050172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566519704223592453.post-79047809503521114092011-11-30T16:57:00.002-06:002011-11-30T17:02:17.342-06:00Mine!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/22820641_041_b?$redesign-zoom-5x$"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 444px; height: 667px;" src="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/22820641_041_b?$redesign-zoom-5x$" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">As if I don't have enough boots, I totally had to make these mine too.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. I love it. Usually I am not a fan of any type of self tanner. I turn orange...it's my Irish skin. We don't do self tanning, or regular tanning for that matter. It just doesn't happen. But a friend of mine was using this and I, ever the optimist, decided to give it a try. I've been using it for two weeks now and I can officially say that it is great! :)<br /><br />Bath and Body Works used to make a lotion with self tanner in it that I loved. It came in a few of their different scents and it was super gradual so there was no chance of messing up. Of course, they discontinued it. Story of my life. Since then I have been hunting for something to give me a little natural looking color. Nivea came through for me! I bought mine at Target. Go and get some! It really is wonderful:)<br /><br />Happy Sunday!<br />I'm posting my Thanksgiving menu tomorrow!

It's that time of year where I start to plan out Christmas and all the gifts we have to buy. I have a five dollar limit you know. Not for my hubby and sweet girl but for everyone else. We have huge families...like 10 or more presents to buy on each side! That's a lot. It gets expensive. So last year I decided to challenge myself and see if I could keep extended family gift buying down to five dollars a person. It was actually fun to try and find small, meaningful gifts for everyone. I made a lot of them. But to me that made them even better:) Don't tell me homemade gifts are cheesy please! Let me live in my happy, oblivious bubble of contentment:) With all of that said, I am once again rounding up ideas for my five dollar gifting. Lots of these are homemade. All of them are on my pinterest. Some of them aren't homemade but they could be which is what I plan to do:)</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/208380612_63FbJXOJ_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 430px;" src="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/208380612_63FbJXOJ_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Up first we have these adorable bangles! I can see going to F21 and getting a set of gold bangles, wrapping them in embroidery thread and calling it done:) So cute and if you split up the set of bangles you could get a two for one! </span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/218137545_ZWptBJoH_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 184px;" src="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/218137545_ZWptBJoH_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Next is the etched Pyrex.

I need it. Really...my life is incomplete without it! Ok not really. But I do really love it. It's seventy dollars but I think I would go without food for a bit to make it mine:) It too resides on my own personal Christmas list.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">So, that wraps up my list for now. We'll see how far I can get into making things early so I'm not crazy come Christmas time. I am woefully lacking in homemade man gifts. The boys in my family will likely get flashlights...or um...food? Hah! I need to sit and think about something a little more interesting for them!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">For now I am going to work on the other stuff and hope that inspiration strikes!</span><br /></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17662356065345050172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566519704223592453.post-32910685090963819832011-09-11T12:25:00.002-05:002011-09-11T12:29:18.659-05:00Remember Always<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AW8puRqE4Sc" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">I was a freshman in high school and I had just gotten to my chemistry class.

Fall in the mornings and Summer in the afternoons. Either way we are ready! We have pumpkins out, candles burning and football on TV!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">Oh, you can buy these lovlies at </span><a style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;" href="http://shop.lovefeasttable.com/">Love Feast</a><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">!</span><br /></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17662356065345050172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566519704223592453.post-43420578756832042622011-08-26T16:59:00.002-05:002011-08-26T17:09:56.206-05:00Crack<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.noosayoghurt.com/wp-content/themes/noosa/img/honey-main-img.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 353px; height: 322px;" src="http://www.noosayoghurt.com/wp-content/themes/noosa/img/honey-main-img.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Holy Cow. That's all I have to say about this. It's the best thing since sliced bread, and light bulbs and all other things that we really can't live without! <a href="http://www.beinthemomentphoto.com/blog/">Valerie</a> has been talking about it for awhile and I finally found it in my local Natural Grocers...I will now be sending all of my money directly to Noosa and they will in return, be sending me that value in yogurt:) Ok just kidding but it is super good. Like, unbelievably good. Oh, and it's good for you at 140 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving. This stuff is dangerous! It's like Crack!:)
<br />That's my favorite comparison by the way. If something is addictingly good then I immediately refer to it as crack. It is up to my sweet hubs to figure out which form of crack I am referring to at the moment as it changes almost daily. I think I'm a secret foodie. Although since I just admitted it I guess the secret's out!
<br />Whatever. Off topic! Go buy some <a href="http://www.noosayoghurt.com/products/honey/">Noosa</a> and fall in love! I will be eating mine for breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks too!
<br />Oh and one last plus...only $1.95 a tub! That means my crack is CHEAP too! ;)

I am counting down the days this month and waiting anxiously for September! I have convinced myself that September is going to be our magic month for cooler weather:) My sweet husband is going along with this (I think to ensure that I don't lose my mind in this heat!). The only sort of positive thing about this hot summer is the fact that indoor play is the only way to go unless you're at the pool. This means lots of dress up, tea parties, painting and coloring with my girl. That is most definitely a positive in my book.<br /><br />Speaking of my girl, this Monday she had surgery for an umbilical hernia. She's bouncing back like a champ and is, I think, thoroughly enjoying the pampering that she is getting! She has been encamped on the couch playing with the Ipad and is coloring pictures faster than I can find places to display them:) All in all, it's an ok way to spend this first week of August!<br /><br />Oh and my outfit up there...I would have to do a bit of substitution, seeing as my little budget doesn't leave room for such purchases as a 1,300 dollar sweater;)<br /></div></div></div></small></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17662356065345050172noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566519704223592453.post-91672313203910052672011-07-31T14:12:00.003-05:002011-07-31T14:25:53.389-05:00Not going to lie...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jbornc.fnismls.com/Paragon/ListingPictures/JBORNC/3/JBORNC116603.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 422px; height: 309px;" src="http://jbornc.fnismls.com/Paragon/ListingPictures/JBORNC/3/JBORNC116603.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.allhomesforsalejacksonvillenc.idxco.com/i/8582/new_construction_homes_in_carolina_forest"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;">via</span></span></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: courier new; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">I'd give just about anything to move back to North Carolina and live in this lovely and extremely reasonably priced beauty of a house.</span><br /></div></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfCjOiqS6_ql639ZqzUu7aAIoIjZHVn4DHZpwz_6Kt7Oo1sbkO8eWWMhCxBwL9vYcipZNOCGgUq2fvQ6_E9w6D5WKwOozeo9Y3A4x0eGxXIWLT89NrTjdqFoYx9xkoFHfD1bdyNFhFkQ/s640/39180234_ehCy90YO_c.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 428px; height: 640px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfCjOiqS6_ql639ZqzUu7aAIoIjZHVn4DHZpwz_6Kt7Oo1sbkO8eWWMhCxBwL9vYcipZNOCGgUq2fvQ6_E9w6D5WKwOozeo9Y3A4x0eGxXIWLT89NrTjdqFoYx9xkoFHfD1bdyNFhFkQ/s640/39180234_ehCy90YO_c.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://pawleysislandposh.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-06-07T12%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&max-results=25"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;">via</span><br /></span></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: courier new;">Oh, and if I lived there I would be building this back deck for my littlest love.

We are currently on day 20 (in a row) of over 100 degree weather. Texas is hot but this is just ridiculous! I always start the Summer out ready for the heavy heat and then by the time Fall comes I am ready for that. I try to enjoy all that summer brings us but this summer it is NOT working! All I want to do is stay inside in fear of melting:)<br />A plus though...it's almost like a clarifying steam facial when you walk outside...almost!<br /><br />One more random thought...in less than a week my baby will be four! How did that happen? I think a recap of her last four years is a must:)<br /><br />Happy Wednesday!
