Weekend Recap

Whew.... what a weekend. Lots of drama, lots of activity, and a nice relaxing Sunday! 

Friday was picture day at school and the girls were SO excited to wear non-uniform clothes. They both bounded out of bed and left the house in the BEST mood. Then.... they got to the bus stop just in time to watch a truck going 80 mph slam into their bus full of kids. OMG... so traumatic and horrible to watch, but thankfully the kids all seem fine. And I think the truck driver survived, which was nothing short of a miracle.

So sassy with their "civilian" clothes and flat-ironed hair!

So sweet and happy on the way out the door!

My view when I headed home after driving the girls to school

Ugh. SO scary. :(

Friday night was date night. We made a return trip to Hammerheads, which was even MORE fabulous than the original trip, and then we spent the night watching our Louisville Cardinals get their asses handed to them. Great.

Best mac and cheese balls evah

These truffle fries... seriously. Best fries of my life.

Teddy Bridgewater cooling off!

ESPN blocks our view, but they brought us a TV to watch the game on this time! LOL!

Saturday morning started early as we headed out of town for our first all stars dance competition of the year. Our 9 year old's team KILLED it. OMG, they were amazing. First place is a great way to start a new season!! 

Really??? I got my finger in the pic? Early morning.... But she's adorable! <3

And, suddenly, it was Sunday! We spent a few hours on party prep for our charity event coming up on Friday and then spent some time enjoying the beautiful day! 

Miss Boo Bitty has been happily rockin the hairbow this weekend! LOVE!! 

Enjoying the sunshine on a bench dropped off for our silent auction! :D

After quick showers, we stopped by a friend's Noonday party. Have you been to one of these??? It's all fair trade jewelry and accessories and was super cute. Here's what I ordered:

Stars Arm Warmers in Ash

Metallic Halo Hoops

And now it's Monday. FIVE DAYS until Fox Bash for The Smile Train! Eeeeeek!! I need about 10 personal assistants this week!! LOL!! Hope everyone has a happy Monday!! And be sure you're getting your daily entry in the PopSugar + Neiman Marcus box giveaway!!

SANUS TV Mount Giveaway!!

SO excited to team up with Brandy over at Mommy Splurge on this important giveaway. It's crazy how many kids are injured/killed by TVs falling over... so scary! :( SANUS is giving away a TV mount to one of our readers in an effort to help promote awareness and safety!

Here's some info from the company:

For many Americans, a flat panel TV is a great way to enjoy family time and entertainment.  However, most parents are unaware of the safety risks that flat panel TVs pose for kids.  Due to increasing size and new ultra thin designs, today's flat panel TVs can easily tip over when bumped or pulled, toppling off of furniture and causing injury or even death.
Bringing this risk to the forefront, SANUS, the leading designer and manufacturer of flat panel TV wall mounts, has partnered with Safe Kids Worldwide.  By educating consumers on the risk of unsecured flat panel TV's, SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide offer safe solutions for families across the nation by reducing TV tip-over related injuries and fatalities.
A 2011 US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report on flat panel TV safety revealed:
*         A child is killed every three weeks from an unsecured TV
*         Every 45 minutes a child visits an emergency room due to a TV tip-over related injury 
*         Between 2000 and 2011, 215 fatalities have resulted from TV tip-over 
*         An estimated 17,000 people each year, the majority of which are children, are treated for injuries from TV tip-overs 
*         Reported cases have increased almost 25% from 2006  to 2010, and over the last 10 years, injuries have increased by 31%
SANUS TV Mounting Tips:
Easy 1, 2, 3 installation with a wall template to ensure even placement
* Online video walkthrough of simple installation available at any time
* No additional tools necessary - all required installation hardware is included in package
* Live customer support available 6 days a week 
Below please find a link to a SANUS TV Safety Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyCHsr9NKqY
SANUS encourages you to join their efforts and advocate mounting of flat panel TV's in your homes.  
We would like to offer one of your readers a complimentary flat panel SANUS TV Vuepoint Mount F180, courtesy of SANUS (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sanus-VuePoint-F180-TV-Wall-Mount/16621470).  The reader can receive a mount that fits their respective TV.    
Please note that this will not include the actual installation of the equipment.                  
Please also note that SANUS wall mounts are available at Walmart stores nationwide.

Good luck in the contest! Stay safe!!

July Giveaway! Blush Beauty June Box - $100 value!

So, after the hot mess that was my Blush Beauty June Mystery Box, I contacted the company and was quickly issued a replacement box! The customer service was actually really outstanding, and was the difference in me canceling this subscription or not. If they hadn't sent a new box, I would have been done. Since they so quickly did, I'm sticking around!

This was my box! Your box is packed up all safe and sound! :)

I've already got these products to try and thought this would be a perfect thing to use for my July giveaway! The products are outlined in my box review post and they have a value right at $100! There are ways to enter each day, so come back and enter often! Good luck!!

PopSugar June Must Haves Box Review + GIVEAWAY!

Omg... Omg omg omg. Where do I start with this awesome PopSugar box??? Seriously, I want to tell you if you don't subscribe to any boxes but are thinking about it, treat yourself to this one (and to Ipsy, which is only $10/month)! But is it possible to maintain a level of mind-blowing excellence like this box??? Seriously, it's insane how good it was this month! Next month is the company's anniversary. Can it be even better??? EEK!! Here's first looks:

Kids think PopSugar rocks! Ha!

Peace out PopSugar!

Soooo many goodies! And some photo bombs by a kid as well! Haha!

Let's get to the breakdown!

Juice Beauty stem cellular repair moisturizer ($65) and CC cream samples ($8) - yes, please!! After the stress of an ailing/thankfully recovering kiddo, my skin is wrecked. Potential miracle in a jar?? I'm definitely open to it!

Gorjana & Griffin scarf ($62) and unique gift code ($25) - this scarf... I'm in love! It made it's way out of the house the same day I received it, to go to gymnastics class! It's super soft, lightweight, sheer. The print is a little nautical and not what I would have picked on my own, which makes it even better (i would have picked Martinique or Westside)! Whats the fun of these boxes if not to shake things up and try something new??

(working on a post of fun recent summer outfits! this one will be there!)

The website has lots of pretty things, but shipping starts at $8 if you don't spend $75, which i feel like makes the card worth $17. Wasn't sure I was going to use it and then G & J went through and commented personally on all the pictures of their popsugar scarf on instagram! WHAT?? I'm a sucker for a personal touch. They've officially won my business!

Revenge wears Prada ($14) - how, HOW???, did I not know this book exists?? Ashamed of myself but so so so excited to get it! I couldn't wait, already read it, have it set aside to take to my mom (she also can't wait). It was definitely more focused on relationships, being a mom, etc., than on fashion, like the first one, so a little meh for me, but there was an interesting blurb where people were trying to pronounce "Louisville" like a native, which is always entertaining! Ha! 

Addicted to sweat ($19) - this is a workout with Madonna's trainer that uses only a chair and the floor (and is no joke). After my post on workouts last week, I was excited to try something new, but NO! It is SOooo hard. The workout itself is only 20 minutes but I couldn't do it. Not even close. Lots of steps up/down from chair. Some grueling ab work. I maybe did 60% of it and my a** hurt almost too bad to get out of bed the next morning. 

post-workout, dying. hated it! lol! 

So, who wants to try it?? Use Rafflecopter form below to enter and I'll mail you this used once copy! I'm no glutton for punishment but I figure at least one of you is! LOL!

Fit popcorn ($5) and quench mints ($2) - great little snacks and the mints are from a company that uses proceeds to provide water to people in need! Awesome! That other little black thing is a bookmark for the book! 

So altogether I came up with a value of $192 for this box and it was one of those awesome moments when you LOVE EVERY SINGLE THING!! $35 for $192 of stuff you love?? Yes please!! 

PopSugar is $35/month and you can save $5 off your first box with code REFER5. Please use my referral link if you join! Thank you!! Can't WAIT to see what next month brings!! I heart you PopSugar!!
