Weekend

Weekend Wrap Up

What’s good?!!

Nothing too spectacular and life changing over here but the usual. Cleaning, cooking, laundry, breaking up fights, etc. etc.

This weekend was rather chill and laid back. I say chill literally. The weather here has been unseasonably cool. I don’t think we’ll be getting out of the mid 80’s this week. For August that is unheard of. I think I smell fall coming early or is that the pumpkin spice candle that I pulled out. Don’t judge, I looooooooove the fall. LOVE.

Anywho.

Back to the weekend. I kicked off the weekend a little early on Thursday when I attended a passion party. If you don’t know what that is I’ll let you use your imagination. I’ll leave that there.

Friday evening I went out to the park to kick it with one of my football mom homies…NO I’m not salty my son isn’t playing. Addison just needed to get out and stretch her legs and run. After we came home my bestie stopped by and the Mr. was so kind as to go grab us a bottle of this:

and we tipsy giggled and watched VH1 Soul while I painted my nails. Tipsy giggles are everything if you didn’t know. Like uncontrollable laughter at the dumbest things..Yes!!

Saturday we lounged around and in the afternoon we headed out to the builder to select our cabinet, tile, laminate, carpet and granite colors..*Roger Rabbits*  I’ll give an update later in the week along with photos on that progress.

Sunday, I headed out to Figo Pasta to have lunch with my Godson for his 11th birthday. After that I came home and watched the Rihanna interview

I’m not a huge Rih Rih fan. I think it may be more accurate to say I am indifferent on her but I will belt out one of her tunes all off key, which is neither here nor there. I thought the interview was well done and I think I may be liking her a tad bit more than I did. Was it me or did you want to see her mother have some other reaction to receiving the house rather than that tired Ohhhh My Gosh she kept repeating.  It’s just me?

How was your weekend?

The Odd Life of Timothy Green Review

I was given the awesome opportunity to attend a screening of the new Disney movie The Odd Life of Timothy Green. As stated in my post here I was pretty excited to see the film and it really didn’t disappoint.

The movie took a glimpse into the life of a married couple who longed for a child and their wish came true in the most unexpected manner. Throughout the movie they were taught an important lesson regarding life and truly living in the moment as a result of Timothy entering their lives. I think the major take away from the movie is to be thankful and never give up on your dreams whatever they are because anything is possible if you believe in it enough.

Awesome cinematography, and witty lines were in abundance and were more than enough to keep both adults and  elementary age and older children entertained. I would venture to say it was sort of a fairy tale/drama/comedy with nothing to keep the attention of smaller children. I took the baby along and without any talking characters or 3D imagery she just wasn’t interested so I would suggest not taking smaller children.

Here is an additional clip.

Did you venture out this weekend to see the movie. If not, there is always next weekend!

Where I Partied While at BlogHer- Lands End’ University Edition

While at BlogHer not only did I learn something but I also got the opportunity to learn AND party with Lands’ End.

I was invited by Momtrends to attend Lands’ End University where we talked all things “Back to School” concerning clothing, backpacks, and there was even a little pampering for the Mamas.

We’ll talk about the children first…as always.

So. If you have children you may know all too well about the worn out knees in their jeans.

Like what is that?

No lie, in the span of one month we had to replace 8 pair of jeans because my son wore them out. Doing what? Let me know when you get an answer because I have no idea. The first stop on my tour of Lands End was learning about their Iron Knee pants…cause I am not in the market to keep buying the same articles of clothing numerous times this year. Not. At. ALL

Lands’ End has something called Iron Knee Pants
