Crafty Tuesday- DIY Father's Day, 5 Gift Ideas

     Today's our Crafty on Tuesday series and all of a sudden I'm hooked on Father's Day and things to do to celebrate! I'm sure it's because I feel absolutely horrible that I will not be with my husband on Father's Day and I will have one of our children with me out of state.. My daughter and I have a wedding to go to and it just so happens that its the Saturday before Father's Day....*facepalm* that is exactly what I did when I realized that I would be almost a thousand miles away on his day. So I decided that we would celebrate Fathers Day this weekend {Even though it's going to be a busy weekend too}.So I'm looking at a few things we can do for my husband and of course I stumbled across a TON of things I would love to do for Father's Day, so I figured this would be great to share with all of you who may be looking for something of your husbands and/or the best dad you know!

Bridesmaids Checklist - 15 Days till the #CrawleyWedding

     I cannot believe we are 15 days out from this wedding!! It's almost here I remember when the bride was posting pictures of the countdown and we had 500 days to go & look at us now. As I start thinking about "getting there" to the wedding destination, my anxiety begins to rise fast. I'm flying, which I have done many many of times but this time there is one thing different, My 8 year old daughter is flying for her first time. I'm very nervous about that by its self. She isn't a "rusher", if you rush her she is going to go as slow as she can, so long layovers. She doesn't like loud noises, she gets scared easily, and all of the above, so I'm hoping she is okay with everything. She's very excited though about flying for her first time and being the flower girl so hopefully the excitement will handle everything else.

     With 15 days left I'm not only worrying about her, but I'm also worrying about making sure I have everything I need, because heaven forbid, I am 15 hours away and forget my other shoe, or earrings. I had to start a check list- so I started one and then I thought well let me go ahead and find a pre-made one that has thought of probably everything!! This is the one I found and it has so many different things I didn't even think about, so I have to share with y'all! I would have never thought about these few things, and this is number one.

{Southern Snapshots} May 2015





{Monthly Memories} May 2015


May was a busy but G-R-E-A-T month! I got to see my favorite Tribute show the Rusty Mchugh show, My son's birthday, My daughters birthday, camping birthdays and lots of fun times and memories with the family and important people! Hope you all had a great Month, and here we are half way through 2015.




{Kids Garden} Update - We have Sunflowers!!!



We have Sunflowers! Well we had sunflowers in May. This is one of those posts I needed to get done. I was so happy that some of our plants grew. As you may have read in a previous post we had some horrible rain that drowned our carrots, melons, and flowers that we planted, our sunflowers were the only thing that made it.We took several different pictures and took some in the mornings before the last few days of school. Next year I plan to grow a lot more and even some of the Giant Sunflowers along the fence. Take a look at these beauty's!

MIA...

     I know, I know, WHERE HAVE I BEEN? It's been way to long since I've sat down and wrote a post for my site that I'm ashamed. I thought to myself today, what happened to my schedule? Well I know Summer has came. When it's Summertime we run on Island time. We're up at sunrise and don't go to bed until way into the night. I really don't know how we live on 4-5 hours of sleep during Summer but during any other time, we need our sleep! Since the last time I posted, it's all been a whirlwind of a lot going on. We had end of the year activities for school, dance rehearsal, dance recital, two birthday camping trips, end of the year award, and then Memorial Day weekend. While all that was going on, I was busy getting another site that I run, under control and working with Team Members. So in between all that I didn't have any time to do what I love most and just write. So here I am! Back again!
