Happy Friday! Here are some birthday themed blanks! Which is fun because Bond's birthday is this weekend :)

1. The age I will be on my upcoming birthday is the big 3-0!
2. The best birthday present ever would be to have a healthy happy 4 week old baby boy!
3. My favorite birthday to date was this is a hard one, I have a Halloween party for my birthday every year, November 1^st is my birthday so it makes sense! This means they are all really fun. I guess my 21^st was pretty fun, at midnight on Halloween we went to a bar so I could get ID’d for the first time!!
4. Birthdays make me feel happy J
5. The worst birthday I ever had was probably one I have blocked from memory because I can’t think of a birthday that stands out as bad.
6. When I was born it was November 1, 1982. I was 9 pounds, it was 2:30 pm in Girard Kansas (although my parents lived in another small town nearby).
7. So far my favorite age has been 29! This year has been full of new and incredible experiences and I am excited to add one more, motherhood, before I turn 30!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! I haven't done a fill in the blank in a while so here we go!

1. I am proud of the effort I put into my relationships, both personal and professional.
2. This weekend I will host my sister’s first Mary Kay party in Oklahoma!
3. A secret dream I have is to be a personal organizer. I would love to be paid to organize other peoples stuff, schedules, anything!!
4. I can’t handle people who are not honest with their actions, be who you are and ask for what you want.
5. The most annoying thing in the entire world is traffic!
6. The most relaxing thing in the entire world is a foot massage
7. I think everyone should see a therapist/counselor sometime in their life. Everyone has issues they need to work out and a completely neutral third party is a healthy way to do that.

 

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! I have a short work day today due to the A/C man and a plumber, but get to have dinner out with my wonderful husband tonight so I think its a pretty good start to the weekend.

This weeks blank is only one word...

Summer is hot temperatures, but ice cream, work weeks that drag, but more hours of daylight, sunscreen, but at the pool and lake, miserable heat and exhaustion, but a healthy baby boy in the fall!

I hope you are having a wonderful summer, with the good and the bad! Happy Friday :)

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Let's do some great blanks.



1. The best surprise ever would be a random day off work, like a "snow day" in July so you could enjoy the sun!

2. My wedding is my most favorite memory.

3. The hardest, but most worthwhile thing I've ever done was I don't think I have done anything I would classify as "hard" but I think that will probably change soon with the rest of my pregnancy, birth, etc.

4. The best part of my day is after dinner when Bond and I hang out in the living room, reading or watching a show.

5. Something I like that most people don't is cottage cheese. I find a lot of people do not like it's consistency.

6. Something I am willing to fight for is my marriage and family.

7. Something you might not know about me is I can't dive, like into a pool, not sure why because I took swim lessons but I just can't do it. It usually turns into a belly flop so I just stopped trying to learn.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! Let's fill in some happiness themed blanks today.



1. Something that is near and dear to my heart is my family and friends. It is very important to me, and Bond, to make time to spend with our families, and for us that includes our friends!

2. Everyday is good cause to celebrate. this weekend we are celebrating two things my youngest sister is moving to town and our healthy baby boy!

3. The most fun I ever had was that's hard because I get to do a lot of fun things, but I think I would go with my honeymoon, a road trip to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. We made stops along the way and just got to do our own thing for the whole week!

4. True friends are the ones that no matter how often you talk you pickup right where you left off, like no time has passed.

5. Something that makes me terribly happy is being oregnant and spending an evening on the couch with Bond, talking about Baby Grant and maybe throw in a foot rub!

6. A good way to spend a sunny day is sitting on a patio with cold drinks, good food, and great friends.

7. My favorite celebratory food is cookies, especially cookie cake!

have a happy weekend!

Happy Friday! This week has gone so fast, so let's get these blanks done fast too and get tot the weekend....



1. On a scale from 1-10 the frequency with which I get sick is in the 3-5 range, not including basic allergies, but it used to be higher, especially when I was a student because I would let myself get run down.

2. The last time I felt sick was right before I took a pregnancy test, which was positive. That of course is not including any of the normal pregnancy issues as sickness.

3. The worst part about being sick is nausea because it is the worst feeling in the world and the only relief is the second worse.

4. When I am sick I like to be Aiken care of by mostly being left alone to sleep, but having someone who can fix food and do general things around the house is necessary.

5. Something I do to keep myself healthy is get enough sleep. I can't let myself get too run down or I get sick so getting enough rest really helps.

6. A secret remedy that I use when I am sick is to sleep through it, and drink water. I don't think either of those qualifies as a "secret" remedy but they work.

7. One thing that always makes me feel better when I'm sick is macaroni and cheese, unless I have nausea and then I just mstick to crackers.


Hope you have a happy weekend!

Happy blanking Friday!


1. My bedtime routine includes, taking off my make-up, using a toner and a lotion on my face, a bit of light reading, then hitting the lights and turning on an overly watched Harry Potter movie that helps drown out the activities of the day.

2. I am tired, it's been a long week.

3. I can't stand spicy food because it makes my mouth burn so badly I have to stop eating.

4. My idea of relaxation would be a chi tea latte on my comfy couch, a great book or movie, a foot rub, and nothing else to do the rest of the day.

5. If I had an extra $50, I would take my hard working husband out to dinner, tonight!

6. The best thing about boggy friends is I am still pretty new to the blog world, but every comment brightens my day!

7. A recipe I've been dying to try is oh so many since I have been slacking on the cooking front lately, but I am looking forward to these summery treats, bruschetta with tomato and basil, pineapple strawberry water, and apple nachos.









Have a wonderful weekend.

3. My favorite time of day it evening because I get to relax, Bond comes home and we have dinner and talk about our day. It's our family time.

4. Sometimes you just have to have a day off, no lists, no errands, just relax all day, or do stuff just for fun.

Yay it's finally Friday! Let's fill in some blanks...




1. Today is a good day because it's Friday!

2. The best thing I did all week was get things in order and do a craft project for the bridal shower I am co-hosting at my house on Saturday.

3. The current weather is cloudy, windy, and warm-ish, and it makes me sleepy.

4. the best thing about spring is all the color!

5. A fashion trend that I am dying to try out for spring is bold color blocked maxi dresses, my problem is they are so long I have to hem them and that seems like way too much work for a casual dress.

6. A person who made me smile this week was my sweet husband, especially when he cooked dinner Wednesday night and ran the dishwasher this morning, how lucky am I!

7. The most delicious thing I ate all week was probably the Mexican food I had for dinner last night, nothing special, just make your own tacos. I am hoping that the cupcakes and cake balls I ordered for the bridal shower are the best things I get to have this weekend!

Have a great Friday!

It's finally Friday! This week has been a bit crazy so I am really ready for the weekend. I missed last weeks FIBF so I am catching up...




1. My greatest strength is my ability to organize and then multi-task. I am the queen of "to do" lists and get things done.

2. My greatest weakness is my ability to multi-task and get things done. I tend to get too "to do" list oriented and focused on the destination, and forget to enjoy the journey.

3. People always compliment me on my skin.

4. If you found me procrastinating you'd probably fin me sleeping or watching a movie I have seen a zillion times before.

5. The most cozy place in all the world is where ever my husband is! But in our house it is probably the sofa.

6. Something new I tried recently was a prenatal workout that combines yoga and Pilates principles. It was great and will be interesting to see how it progresses into the third trimester.

7. This weekend I would like to... Get the garage cleaned out and then relax and spend sometime with my wonderful husband who worked way too hard this week!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! It's finally here!! Let's fill in some colorful blanks


1. My favorite color is red. It hasn't always bee red, but currently it is. I love what a bit of red can do for an outfit!

2. My home decor palette includes a lot of neutrals, tans, beige, grey, etc.

3. Other people always tell me I look good in the color coral.

4. The color I detest is orange, and not just because of the OU v. OSU rivalry. It's because no one looks good in orange, even people who can pull it off don't look "good".

5. If you were to look in my closet most of the colors you would see would be neutrals, black, grey, brown, white for work. Then I try to add color with camisoles or accessories.

6. A color that I simply cannot pull off no matter how hard I try is yellow or an orange. It makes me look yellow and sickly.

7. The color of my favorite dress is besides my ivory wedding dress (which is the most amazing dress I have ever owned) it would be coral, which was my rehearsal dinner dress!

Happy Friday! And don't forget to share your colors!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week.  Lets find out...

1.   My favorite thing about this week was/is     that Tuesday was my birthday!  And it was great!!

2.   Colder weather makes me   want hot stuff. This week I have had several fires in the fireplace, a lot of tea, hot chocolate, and made chili .

3.  Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are    my husband, my friends, and my family.

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose    flats, either ballet or Toms .

5.  My personality type is    A!  Is there an A+? If so then I am probably that.  I like everything to have a place and be organized, even other peoples things...

6.  I have a serious problem resisting     chocolate and cheese.

7.  My favorite color to wear is    red and a neutral like grey.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is ready for Halloween!  It seems this weeks fill in the blanks are inspired by the holiday.  Link up and see at the little things we do.

1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a mom when I grew up.  I went through phases of other things, teachers, business woman, doctor, etc.  But no matter what I wanted to do as a profession I was always still a mom.
2. As an adult my dream job would be, in addition to a mom, a professional organizer.  I love to get a spaced organized and design methods to maintain organization, and it would be awesome to get paid for that.
3. When I was Younger I wanted to be just like my mom.
4. The child hood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was a prom queen before the prom.  When I was little I did not enjoy frilly things, but my mom and I came up with a costume idea to be the before picture of a prom queen.  I wore a bath robe, curlers in my hair, a face mask, and painted half my nails.  I really enjoyed it, but my mom told me when I was older that some of the neighbors thought I was dressed as an ex-wife, so I’m not sure if I totally recommend the costume now.
5. My favorite childhood toy was baby Richard.  I loved dolls (see questions #1). I found this doll I really wanted, but it was expensive.  I made a deal with my parents that if I saved half the money they would pay the other half.  When I finally got the doll I used a baby name book my mom had to pick the name, and decided it was a boy.  I named him Richard.  Just in case your wondering, yes I still have the doll.
6. The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I would be mean to my sister.  I can’t remember anything else specific that I did as a young kid.  But I know I picked on my sister and got in trouble pretty regularly.
7. I get daily inspiration from friends, family, co-workers, pinterest, blogs, and my amazing husband!

Happy Halloween and Happy Friday!

It's finally the end of the week...happy Friday! I hope your week was good, or at least not bad. It's time for my favorite Friday post with Lauren @ the little things we do.




1. My go to outfit for a dress up occasion like a wedding is... The essential item in every woman's closet, a little black dress (LBD). You can't go wrong, just think Audrey...


2. This has been... Hot! I talking crazy record breaking, wicked witch of the west I'm melting, hot.



3. when it's dinnertime and I'm feeling lazy I'll usually eat... An Archer Farms frozen pizza. This is Target's brand and it has some great options where the whole pizza is under 1000 calories, great for Bond and I to split.


4. My favorite pair of shoes is... Changing with the season. Right now my favorite pair of shoes are these flip flops by Jessica Simpson...


They can make a dress more casual, and a pair of shorts more dressy. And of course I always love my toms! Especially my red ones for OU football games!



5. A random item that I own that is completely unnecessary, but I could never part with is... This old jewelry I have from middle school. I bought some of it and made some of it, but either way it was a time when I was developing my own style and learning to accessorize so I have to keep it.

6. My favorite person is... My wonderful husband!!



7. If I were going to write my own blank it would say... I am getting ready to take a much needed vacation so mine would say "my all time favorite vacation was"

Happy Friday! Let's link up with Lauren @ The Little Things We Do for some random questions.

1. I am a (morning, evening, middle of the day person)… I am either a morning or evening person. I hate the waking up part because sleep is one of my favorite things. But once I am up I love to get as much done in the morning as I can. Especially at work since I am anything but an afternoon person. Afternoons are for naps!

2. My favorite Pandora stations are… I usually listen to Pandora in my office and right now I am loving the Vitamin String Quartet Station. It’s great for an office atmosphere without putting me to sleep.

3. 3 of my “must-have” songs for a road trip playlist are… Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane or Rascal Flatts (I love both versions), Don’t Stop Believing by Journey (usually an entire Journey playlist is necessary), and the latest Glee soundtrack (or all of them!).

4. My favorite pattern is… I am not very into patterns. I usually go for a mix of neutrals and bold solid colors. But I can appreciate small amounts of polka dots or vintage sketches of flowers or dresses.

5. My favorite perfume is… I don’t wear perfume. I use body and hand lotion. My favorite body lotion does not have scent, its precipitation extra by Origins and keeps me feeling moisturized all day. My favorite hand lotion is by e.o.s. in cucumber.

6. Rule are… usually followed, sometimes bent, but not typically broken.

7. My most overused phrase or punctuation is… the exclamation point! I tend to put it after every text I send. So when I am actually really excited I have to use two or three to get the point across!!!
