Twelve. Twenty One. Twelve

Personally I don't believe the world will be ending this Friday. Although, in light of all the Mayan Calender 12.21.12 Phenomena, it's got me thinking what if. Now we could go around and around about how the world won't be ending Friday or will be, but just to humor myself...

This is how my "The Day Before The End Of The World" would go in my perfect little world

 

 

12.20.2012

 

8:00am-  Sleep

9:00am- Wake up ALONE and enjoy a cup of coffee

10:00am- Get the girls up

10:30am- Make a big platter of pancakes, and let the girls have the sugar syrup this time

11:00am- Go to Silver Dollar City and let the girls ride every ride they want over and over again! (I'd hope it wouldn't be as busy since it's the day before the end of the world and all)

5:00pm- Big family "last" supper, mine would be pizza (stuffed crust of course) with lots of ranch and I think the girls wouldn't mind that for their last supper either. All of our close family members eating and enjoying each other, sounds good to me!

7:00pm- Lots of cuddling with the girls, watching home videos and reading books in bed

9:00pm- Bedtime, I think this night would be the perfect night to let the "you sleep in your own bed" rule to go out the window.

9:15pm- Blissful sleeping...

 

 

There you have it, nothing extravagant. Just making both my girls happy would be perfect for me. How would you spend your "Day Before The End Of The World"?



 



 

A Poncho Day

First of all, let me take a moment to express how deeply saddened I am to hear about the tragedy in Connecticut. I don't even want to imagine what those families are going through, many thoughts and prayers going out to them.

 

Today we had a poncho day. I was lucky enough a year ago to have found this awesome poncho out thrifting for 4 dollars! But, I am kicking myself because there were two (one in another color) and I only grabbed this one. I hate when I pass something great up at the thrift and then get home and say... "I should have got that!!" It happens to me quite often actually. The poncho Miss Mally is wearing is one I made from the DIY Beanie Sweater. All I did to make it was cut the sleeves off and sew down a quarter of the way, super easy! Miss Chesa is wearing a Starting Out brand doggie poncho found at a garage sale a couple years back.

 

Also, I want to mention that I love reading all your comments and I am still in the process to responding to each of them and checking out all of your blogs :)

 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Now go tell your family you love them...

Simple Exfoliating Facial

Morning all!

Today we have plans to go out on the town and celebrate one of our friends 25th birthday! So excited about this, this momma needs a break! I love my girls, but it's alright to give yourself that time so you can keep your insanity sometimes, well that's how I feel anyway ha ha.

 

I want to do a quick post on my go to exfoliating facial. 2 ingredients and super easy, leaves your face soft and glowing!

 

 

*What you need*
Baking Soda
Orange
Spoon
Bowl

Place a bit of Baking Soda into bowl
I don't measure anything, I just add as needed

Squeeze a bit of orange juice in and mix

Keep adding juice until at the right consistency
I make mine a bit thicker

Put on face and let dry (about 10-15 minutes)
After dry wet fingertips and scrub, this will remove dead skin
Rinse with warm water
I like to rinse with cold water afterwards

Left is before (sorry a bit blurry)
Right is after
Make sure you put your moisturizer on afterwards!
