life update with a side of pinning.

Y'all! Whew this has been a dooooooozy of a week and it's just now WEDNESDAY! I am linking up today for some pinning but first I wanted to update y'all on where I've been and my holiday weekend.

I spent the holiday weekend with family, MAJOR family time! Friday, my cousin came over to stay the evening with me so we had girl time! {think pretty little liars, nail polish, deep talks, the usual} Saturday was FOOTBALL, we had my parents over to watch the Auburn game because we are BIG auburn fans and then when they left Tripp watched the bama game and I fell asleep {booooo! bama}

Sunday, my dad's side of the family had a labor day/August birthday bash which involved water slides, moon walks and a shaved ice food truck...no lie, they know how to throw a party, y'all!

 {mother, father and me!}

Monday, Tripp's granddad came down so we had a nice labor day lunch with his family {no pics, poot!}.

So that concludes my holiday weekend, so why wasn't I with y'all yesterday....well every morning when I wake up I walk the two big dogs to their fence outside for the day...as I was walking them in my OWN yard and both on a LEASH, the neighbors Rottweiler ran over and  JUMPED on my chocolate lab while he was still with me and started mauling him. It was horrifying to watch as I screamed but couldn't get him off of Beau and Beau could barely defend himself. It was a good 10-15 minutes before I could get my dogs away and inside enough to survive..literally the Rott would've killed beau otherwise. So needless to say, yesterday was a work half a day and try to get home to get through the day. The pups are our fur babies so it was pretty traumatizing. Then this morning Tripp and I had to take a day off of work just to take beau to the vet where we had to leave him to get sedated and see what needed to be done. SO that brings us to now and how I've missed y'all and how I hope the rest of the week is peaceful! 

So back to the link up with Going the Distance and Jessi's Design, what have I been pinning?! {all the pictures are linked}

speaking of pups, how cute is this print?! NEED!

 pups, again! Pictures are in 3 weeks! These tips are really helpful when taking your fur babies to family picture day.

this quote is LIFE...so over this thigh gap trend!

and I'm leaving you with this TIP for pumpkin season...

Thanks for stopping by today and being patient with this crazy life of mine! See y'all tomorrow for what I hope is a NORMAL thursday :)

hi family! 

As you can tell I'm back and I'm linking up for some pinterest action today! Monday started a week that involved 3 football games and some church events, so sorry for the absence yesterday, I truly missed y'all! 

Family Pictures- 

We're getting family pictures {me, tripp and the dogs} done in a few weeks and I was looking up some non-corny ideas and I found a few examples I love!

 WORKING OUT-

 Since I am working out at home for the majority of the time, I've been looking up different ideas and pinterest is the best for at home work out ideas! 

Good Article!

also, I need this outfit..!

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES-

Tripp and I have this grand plan to dress up for this Halloween but I am very curious to see if we actually will....considering we haven't before. That being said, I've been looking for an idea that I will just love and found this cute idea...that just maybeeee. 

BARBIE GIRL-

Y'all I was so a barbie girl when I was growing up so when I found this on pinterest, I DIED. ADULT.BARBIE.SHOES.

Excited for tomorrow with y'all! See you back here @ not a mom! 

 

pinning, yet again.

hi family!

I honestly feel that way after the love my family and I received this week while celebrating another birthday without our sweet brother and son. I appreciate your patience and love on the blog front this week, as well.

I hope to bring it back to upbeat with this pinterest post!

jessi's design

I've been looking up ideas for decorating my house in the fall. I know I want to do something for our front door and then we have the perfect place for a banner on our fireplace. I absolutely LOVE the colors in this first fall decor look.

I want this outfit in every color for the fall and I absolutely will be redoing my fall/winter closet based on this article!

I needed something new and cute for my desktop at work and found it on this page. They have so many bright, uplifting and different wallpapers! Love!

Those are my three favorites this week on pinterest! If you are a fellow pinner, please follow me!

pinning on a wednesday.

hey gorgeous people!

Today I am linking up with two fun bloggers to show what I've been pinning this week! I love seeing pins, I'm not gonna lie though, I go through periods of un-inspired where I stay off of pinterest for a few weeks but then I come back and get all giddy again {am I alone?! it's overwhelming sometimes right?}.

My Mom's 60th Birthday is in November, I am getting somewhat of an earlier start but I know being a procrastinator that the earlier the better. {she's a hottie, right?!}

Well I can't post everything I've been doing because she reads this, but a few things that are my inspiration.

Love showing my dreams and inspiration for the week! 

 

Pinterest Tuesdays.

Y'all I am so out of it! Totally started writing a what's up Wednesday post to only then realize that it is definitely NOT Wednesday but Tuesday. So stay tuned to tomorrow for me to end out May with my What's Up Wednesday post.

It has been a crazy week, hence the lack of postage. Last week is the busiest work week of my year [an accountant's version of tax day]. We had our graduation ceremony for the school, it went really well considering the year it's been for everyone.

 the dress I ended up picking [ignore my messy house]

Then I had to work again Thursday, getting things ready for the next school year already [seriously, time flies] and then I started getting sick this weekend...dum dum dummmmm. I hate being sick and I don't have the best immune system to begin with so normally when I get sick it knocks me on my butt [fever and all]. So the holiday weekend wasn't much of a holiday for us, Tripp had the sniffles as well.

So Tuesday's are my pinterest day, unfortunately I missed What's On Monday so I will pick it back up next week.

This past week what I've been digging on pinterest...

Chia Seed Pudding  This is a good starting point for Chia Puddings. I have the WORST sweet tooth, seriously my biggest problem when it comes to my diet. So I am looking for ways to suppress that here lately and I heard that the Chia Puddings are always a good go to so this weekend I tried to make one and TA DA, it turned out great actually! I think the texture freaks Tripp out a bit[he's super picky!] but I loved it and it reminded me of rice pudding.

Here's mine ->



















Wellness Retreat -
I told Tripp that next year I want to go on a Wellness Retreat so I've been pinning different ones and seeing which ones have the best reviews. Not sure if it's something that he would want to do or not but I like reading about what each one has to offer. May end up being a girls trip, who knows. My favorite so far is the Soulstice Retreat in Utah.

Essential Oils-
I've been really interested in trying oils to help with my depression, anxiety, low immune system, etc. So I started out with DoTerra and Pinterest is full of different mixtures, tips and tricks.

I started my collection with Lavender, Balance and Elevation.

The boards that I've given the most attention here lately:


                Follow Lindsay's board prettttty. on Pinterest.   


                Follow Lindsay's board spring.summer. on Pinterest.

pinterest isn't just for moms.

So on Tuesdays I will start updating you guys on what pinterest inspo I've been seeing lately. Sometimes pinterest just overwhelms and I have to take a few weeks off but here lately when Tripp gets up to go to the gym at 4:30, I take that quiet time to Pin until my heart is full.

First off, my current favorite pinners: 

• Dree Harper [@dreeharper]
• LouisaG [@louisagormley]
• Style Me Pretty Living [@smpliving] 
• Kate Voegele [@katevoegele]
• Jillian Harris [@jillianmharris]  

second, my boards that have been getting my attention lately

 spring.summer. 
Boho is my inspiration for every wardrobe choice currently. These are just everything right now.

 pretty
Last week I got around 4 inches cut off my hair so that maybe it could become healthy again..it was so fried and having to cut that much was sad but fresh start. I'm obsessed with braids and nude lips for summer. 

 
 

depression rockstar

LouisaG, who I recommended y'all follow at the beginning of this post inspired this board. I'm always looking for natural ways to overcome my depression and these are amazing. I ordered some essential oils so I am pretty pumped to give those a try. 

 healthy eats
We are horrible eaters....it takes such a huge effort to really eat well. I am constantly being encouraged with this board though. 

third, that's what is currently inspiring me.. If you are on pinterest, give your girl a follow!
