Happy Friday BABES! I’ve had so many random thoughts bouncing around in my head today, so I thought I would share them with ya!
Living without a microwave is easier than you think. We’ve been here since the end of April and are still going strong without one. It does take away A LOT of food options, but those options are mostly shitty food so…win I guess?
I am officially addicted to liquid lipstick. I have so many reviews coming your way in the next few weeks!
Gardening is ridiculous hard. After years open years of watching my Step father garden every spring until the end of fall, I felt that I needed to give it a shot. I mean how hard could it be to plant a few flowers…right? WRONG- so wrong, gardening is a full on full body work out. Ever dug a real hole before? Not easy- especially for this momma who is out of shape. They ground here in KY is pretty close to what we had in GA- clay so much clay. I thought we were back in the Midwest but judging by the soil I was dead wrong. But John and I worked together and we are starting to have a cute little garden around our house. We have a few canna plants, and some petunias. Two lavender plants, that I almost killed the first week. Word to the wise- lavender is a desert like plant DO NOT over water it. But thankfully I saved him and her, they are doing great now! Sadly, my hydrangeas aren’t going to make it. I’m going to try to move them to a large pot to try to save them, but I think they have had their last dance. Next time, I will keep those babes alive!
All I wear is sports bars anymore! Is there a comfortable bra on this earth for us big boobie babes? Nothing looks cute on me anymore with a normal bar anymore. #firstworldproblems
Having a toddler in daycare is AMAZING! Char has been going to school three days a week for three hours at a time to get some socialization and to play with other kids, since we haven’t met another family here that has kids her age. She’s loving it and so am I! I have so much more time to work and I feel less stress while she is home. I am such a worker bee I need time to be alone and creative so her getting this time away has really done wonders for us. Shes also been talking SO much more and is really becoming a little person. It is so amazing to see.
Why do men always think they are the best drivers? They clearly are not. This is such BS, my husband and my father are both like this. Riding peoples tailgate and always being in a hurry is not the business guys! Slow down and watch what you are doing!
Beware of your surroundings. A week or so ago I was at Starbucks and this women had lost her debt card and only had enough cash in her wallet to get something for herself not her son- so I stepped up and paid for his chocolate milk. If you are in the positions to help another do it. It will change their path and yours for the whole day. Positive energy is what is it all about. I over heard that lady talking on the phone while watching her child play on the playground telling someone how I helped her and how sweet it was. Doing small things in this world of chaos can only bring you good karma back, so be aware there might be someone in need.
Running an online store is no easy task. I have to hand it to all the girl bosses out there who do it and make it look easy! It is so time consuming but I am so happy I opened House of W. This is the happiest I have been in a long time, and I think the store is part of that. Check out all the new arrivals —> http://www.houseofwdesigns.com/ use code HOW15 for 15% off your order!
I am giving up my venti iced caramel macchiato as of today! It pains me to say it but I must. I am still gaining weight like crazy and I am going to try to cut sugar out of my diet along with dairy if I can. I love cheese and milk so much. But as it stands right now, I weight the most I ever have in my life. At 5’2, it just isn’t healthy. I’m not saying you shouldn’t love yourself at the weight you are because you should! However I just feel sick ALL the time and I can tell I’m not healthy, just by the way my body looks. So after today its goodbye sugary coffee drinks, fast food and dairy. Wish me luck!
Yoga! Oh yoga- I have been bitten by your love bug. I started an eight week yoga 101 class here at a studio off base and I have been having the most amazing time. I’ve missed working out so much and yoga is just the type of physical actively I need. For an hour I have to turn off my cell phone and just be in the moment. Its so relaxing and changeling at the same time. I hope after these eight weeks are up I stick with it!
Thanks for listening to me ramble! What are some random thoughts you are having today? Happy Friyay Dolls!

Jasmine says
Good for you on helpin another mama out. I would’ve done the same.
I’m actually starting a detox towards the end of the month so carbs and sugar will be out for 14 days! Let’s see how well this will last lol I love carbs.
Candace McGee says
Lol I love the transparency. I actually had a man tell me “if I’m ever on another road trip, I want YOU to be the car leading the way.” From a man?! Shocking lol. You aren’t alone with the weight thing. I’m out of control. Yikes! Started damage control yesterday. I also agree with the microwave! I have one but I use it very sparingly and mainly to warm things up.
