Just Another MANICure Monday- Fall Nail Color Edition

It is my week to host the link up and truthfully my manicure is a mess. My nails look like all of the drama I’ve been going through with this house business. Need a description? They look like disappointment, mixed in with failed dreams and sheer aggravation. Trust me, I’ll spare you the visual. I tried though.

Anywhoooooooo.

I thought I would give you the scoop on some of the hottest new fall nail colors. Fall is just around the corner so grab these when you see them to make sure you stay on trend this fall!

Life Weekend

Weekend Wrap Up – Bad Appraisal & a Tea Party

Hi Cyber Friends!

Hope your weekend was well. I can’t hardly believe we are almost done with July. It is almost like it didn’t exist. My children will be starting school in just 2 weeks and I can hardly believe it. This summer has been so rainy, I just don’t feel like we took advantage of it, but we always have the fall to look forward to.

This Friday we got the gut wrenching news that the house we currently have a contract on did not appraise. Seriously this $*&^ makes me want to holler. Again, $50K under seems to be the magic number. I just wanted to cry but managed to wrangle the tears and remind myself that ultimately God knows what we need and He will supply it in due time but I wasn’t in the mood to rationalize that on Friday night. What did I do? Closed my door and dared anyone enter.

Mommy Time Out

Lil Man Parenting

The Hypocritical Football Mom

Parenting is just down right difficult at times. Second guessing yourself wondering if the decisions you make will hinder them or  will they feel some kind of way about you when they grow up. The whole process feels like a shot in the dark at times.

Last year my husband and I made the decision to not force my son to play football when he brought it to our attention that he didn’t want to play. I even wrote a post about the whole dilemma that got featured on BlogHer and I was heralded for being a great mother for standing by my son’s decision. At the time we wanted to allow him the space to voice his desires knowing that we would stand behind and support him.
