My 5 This Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so glad it's Friday and I'm sure you are too. So let's get down to the goodies!......





{ONE} 


So this week i was able to wrap up the fall semester, with two finals and a presentation I had to give, I overall completed the year well. I also was able to find out that I am able to get an Associates degree next year in Child Development which will enable me to be an Pre-K Teacher!!! (So ecstatic!!!) So with my crazy, finals week and having literally no energy, I was able to in between finals celebrate my brother-In laws 22nd bday. In our household we literally have a lot of December babies. Anyway here are a few photos of the family get together.

Cake was super Delisch! (Dave's Bakery).

Thanks to Nick's Papaw for this Photo of us! :)

So with our house being fully decorated (You can see pics Here if you missed the post) we have been on a mission to find an affordable tree, Luckily we graciously allowed to borrow one this year, with our possibility of moving next year we didn't want to buy one just yet. So I decided to go very classic, with red, gold and silver ornaments, and adding a borrowed snowflake topper, and cute brown tree skirt, it was the finishing touch we needed and just in time for Christmas!

So I'm aware Fall is about to be over, and the first day of Winter is in a couple of weeks, but I want to share my favorite fall jewelry piece. I found this Owl Necklace over a year ago, at a local shop in my hometown area. It's at Cato's. (Check out their website Here) I'm not able to find this specific necklace on their site, but that have other adorable options too! Very affordable and my MIL & I love to shop there. I'm hoping we make a girls date soon! 

{Five}

My last item on today's list is my overall favorite and I'm super excited to share it with you. A few day's ago my blogger friend Jenn, was having a CaseApp giveaway. This is a site (which I embedded the link if you click on the word) where you can design your own phone case or laptop Skin. You can upload pics, and add colors, texts, and more! It's a perfect gift to give yourself or anyone in the family! 

For those of you who don't know Jenn I'll introduce her. She is a wonderful talented gal, who is sweeter than candy! and the Author of her Blog, Crown Me In Glitter  . She has a beautiful family, and I'm looking forward to getting to know her! 

  

So after submitting my details for the giveaway, I just honestly forgot about it, till the other day Jenn emailed me to tell me I won! (I never win anything, so honestly I had to like email her back to make sure.) After the email confirmation, and the coupon code, I went to designing my very first case. 

Well That's My Friday in a nutshell. Hope everyone has a fantastic Weekend! And can't wait to see what your 5 are! 

5 On Friday! :)

Hello everyone. So guess what it's Fab Friday! So ready for the weekend and I'm sure you are too. 

So to start this Friday off right here is a list of my five things this Friday. 

One. 

With crazy hectic week I'm all about spending some time to pamper myself. With chores consistent and finals week, that's not much time. However, after decorating the house for Christmas, and a very tight budget this month, I decided to give my self a much needed fresh coat of polish. Only I wanted to pass on the Christmas spirit. This nail Polish I absolutely love. It's called Pacifica - Red Red Wine. (and it's only $9!). Okay so I'm very active on the computer and use my hands daily and I'm always on the look out for the best nail polish (Chip proof!) and ladies this is it. This one bottle has lasted me over a year and I purchased it last October. There are many other shades as well, but this one I love and use for Christmas time! 

Two.

As I've stated before with the first one, I love getting my nails done. (Although my pocketbook says otherwise.) I've mostly created boards through Pinterest to gather the latest nail fashion's but here as of lately, been kinda doing my own thing. Well since my halls are already decked for the season, I decided to get Festive with my Manicure. I used the same color Pacifica Red Red Wine (Which I always sing the song when I mention this specific nail polish) But I added a little Multi Sparkle polish which is Sally Hansen- Xtreme Wear- Strobe Light.(I've embedded a link to see Sally Hansen's collection).  Perfect duo to get festive of course, you could pair it with a gold, silver or green glitter polish, but i tend to get the glitter polish to match the shade. So here is how it turned out. Love it!!!

Three.

So upon my Husband and Myself getting hitched this past June, we had previously in May started remolding our home, (AkA- The Barn). It's located in the back of my in laws yard, and we absolutely love it! Although its spacious for two people, we seem to have loved the overall look. We pretty much had several appliances donated and were graciously given to us through friends. One piece of Furniture was the couch set through a mutual friend of ours. So Although it doesn't match we've began looking to hopefully (Possibly Tax Returns) buy a new sofa to go with the decor in our home. So we've been making little dates to go look at furniture when we can. We found this pretty couch, but wasn't the first choice, but I couldn't help snap a photo of my Handsome Hubby trying out the different seating arrangements. 

Four.

So my last post, I posted photos of our place all spruced and festive for the Holidays, which I might add is the most wonderful time of year. It's my favorite time of year to spend with family, and even more special this year since it's the first Holiday Season married! I love starting new traditions with him, and although we haven't gotten a tree just yet, and haven't begun to pull out the lists and gather gifts, Just listening to Holiday radio, and look out the door with our Christmas lights, is perfect enough. So my Husband knows this is my Favorite holiday and time of year, so knowing this, he let me pick out my very own Christmas mug for our place. (which the child in me completely shed tears with this specific mug!). Okay so I exaggerated a little in that statement, but I did get all giddy cause the Peanuts are classics for any occasion. 

   

Five.

My last item is all about comfort and style. Which with these two terms can be rather tricky. So last Christmas my wonderful, loving, fabulous, MIL. (Mother in law).  Gave me cheetah print slippers that she ordered through Avon. I know i'm just beginning to wear them a year later, but I specifically did this cause at the time I wanted to save things for after I was married to my Love. So since the weather is getting a tad nippy, I decided to pull these babies out and I love them. I have them on literally 24/7 of course. (Might I add only while I'm home, I'm not a Slipper Walmart/Errand Gal). They have enough support for standing to do dishes and keep my toes extra cozy warm! I literally love them and recommend them to any gal on the search for a cute slipper. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

 

 

With 2015 Thanksgiving under wraps, I had to post a pic of my love and I enjoying the holidays with both sets of our family's. Although, this thanksgiving was a tad different due to some uncontrolled circumstances we overall enjoyed our first thanksgiving married. It was great to be able to visit with both sets of families. We enjoyed our first thanksgiving dinner with my side of the family in Mt. Sterling, and then with my in law's on Saturday. Overall with the two dinner's (Thank the lord they were spread apart a day. ).  We were over stuffed and gobbled out with Turkey.

                                                                              

 

 

 

 

After thanksgiving we spent the weekend going underway for our first Holiday/Christmas decorating went into full swing. We boxed up the Fall/Thanksgiving decorations and tucked them away for next year. We gathered up our previously bought decorations and began to decorate our house for the season. We blast Christmas music while doing so, and let me tell you it was Magical!

 

Here are the Pics of our house all festive :)

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is how much we've decorated so far. Not too mention the fact that we completely rearranged the place and deep cleaned the house. It's beginning to feel homey. Although we are Tree-less, we hope by the weekend to be able to get our first Christmas tree. Once we do, Prepare for picture spam :)

 

 

So with one Holiday under wraps and preparing for that wonderful time of year, I'm excited to see what all my blogger friends have been up too. I would love to hear, your plans for the Holidays and will be on the lookout for your decorations.

It's Party Time!!!

Exciting News!!! 

I'm Hosting a Thirty One party! 

** Link will be posted at the end of the post. **

How this all began: 

So last weekend, I went to help my Mother-in-law with her spur of the moment idea to market her business. When I was introduced to one of her good friend's daughter, Laura Bayes! who is an Independent Consultant for Thirty One! Since she was at this event with her product's, to make a long story short, i decided to host a party through her, and Now have decided to become a Independent Consultant myself. This is going to be fun, and a new adventure that I'm excited to jump in and take. Can't wait to see where it takes me! Also I'm so excited to have made a new friend, and jump into this Sisterhood and see what's in store!

So i'm thrilled with this fresh start, and venturing out of my comfort zone. Although, i'm not yet a consultant, i can't wait to be one. I'm excited to be able here in a couple of weeks to purchase my starter kit, and being able to host this party, Meeting a ton of fabulous ladies that have shown so much positive encouragement.  

So we were able to set up a Facebook event called, COLOR Bash that will be starting now through the end of the month. Which means thirty one has several items that you can purchase and be able to color your own designs. (You remember those black fuzzy posters that we used those small markers to design, it's like that only on steroids!)  How we do this, is very simple. You want to first, go to the link (Which thank's to Laura i have!) which is my thirty one party link. There your able to see the online catalog and place your order. *Keep in mind you need the items with the following prints to participate in the Color bash; 

• Black Playful Parade
• Black Chevron
• Black links 

Secondly, once you've placed your order, which you have til the end of the month to do so, and you've got your item that you will color, we will be meeting on Sat. Nov, 14th 2015, at Flat wood's, Ky Giovanni's Pizza to eat, color, and have a girls night! That's all! Now i know some of my blogger friend's live not locally to me, so that's okay your more than welcome to still party with us, and purchase your item color it and then send me a pic of it when it's completed. It's a win, win! 

Just those 2 steps That's all! So join us for all the FUN! and stay with me on this Crazy Adventure I'm about to do!

Catch-up & Mid Terms.

So i't s been a a strange, but silent here in blog world. I've unfortunately haven't been able to post as much as i was wanting to. However, now that i'm back up and at it, I'm here to play catch up and fill you on not only on me and my husband's life, but what I've been up too that's kept me away longer than planned......



So the last i posted, i introduced you to the newest member of our household. (Chloe). Well, we've gone from foster parent's to a bit longer than expected. She is growing bigger everyday, not only physically, but in our heart's as well! Although, there are the moments where we dread having to clean the latest disaster area, but overall we love her to Pisces. Here is the most recent pic to share! 

This Furry, bundle is way beyond cute!!! <3











So with our constant hand's filled with balancing being fur parents, and newlywed's, I've been going to school part time at my local College. I've recently decided (after numerous degree changes, and indecisive feelings) to be a Middle School Teacher. I'm completing my Sophomore year in college, which leaves me 2 years til i'm done. However, this week was midterm's and so I thought i would post my grades.

Psy 1010- 97.
EDTE 1500- (Teacher education)- 98.
EDTC 2030- (Teaching and Technology)- 87.



With no fall break, and school half way through, I'm about shot and really looking forward to Thanksgiving Break. (Let's hope i can make it til then), I've enjoyed finally finding my niche in the world. Can't wait to be a teacher! Now let's just make it through without pulling out my hair. lol


So this is a simply all i have, and hate to leave it short and sweet, but til next time...(hopefully soon)

Hope all my Blogging Friends enjoy themselves!


P.S. Would love to Catch up with you, Leave me a comment filling me in on the latest up to date info, with you! :P

Grimm's Household has a new visitor.

Sorry for the lack of posting, We have been super crazy. From working a couple jobs that my husband has, And Fall semester in full swing, We are into a couple devotional activities as well as continuing to adjust to being newlyweds. With our lives being this crazy, it's hard to imagine having anything else on our plate. We try to tend to not be so busy that we forget to have time with our Lord, but lately it's been a little mad house around our household. (Wondering why?, I'm mean working and being a full time student isn't enough what more could we add to our plate.) 

Meet Chloe!

 She is 10 Weeks old. She loves to play outside. Loves walking, and everything outdoors. Don't let that fool you, she is a huge fan of cuddles, and being around us. Also we let her sleep with us. (Bad habit to start, but could you deny that face?) Unfortunately, we are only her foster parent's, but don't let that fool you, because immediately when we were able to bring her to our home, Our heart's melted right away.  She is a Husky/Lab mix. Full of Spunk and personality. She fits right in! 

So yes, our home just got a little more chaotic, but we have absolutely fallen in love with her. But what's funny is, the night i brought her home, She took to nick right away. (That's my Husband.) She was basically his shadow. Although now she has gotten used to the both of us. It's a big adjustment now, not used to the early mornings, and periodic periods of excitement. But Overall she blew our expectations out of the water. Although, we are only temporarily providing a home for her, I've helped my friend, her owner, in trying to find people to provide her a forever home. I'm thankful we were able to do this, because it's shown my husband and I how well we really work together. I know since she is a puppy, We love taking her on walks. What surprised us the most about her, is you barely hear her bark, and She is like a killer at being calm. Although, she has her moments when she wakes from a nap, She immediately is ready to play, She for the most part is crazy at being calm, and content. We've learned a lot and still will learn more. But It's amazing to just watch interact.  So with our somewhat crazy schedules, we enjoy relaxing with our Paw angel. 

Sorry for the somewhat short post, being a temp fur mom takes a lot of attention and time. Hope to be back to blogging soon. Hope all my Blogger Friends are doing well. 

P.S. Any Pup advice to give us? Has anyone every temporarily fostered a pup before?  Comment and let me know, I would love to hear from you! :)

It's fun to see what everyone's 5 things are. And you get more views this way! So come on Join the Fun. Details at the bottom of this post.  




So here we go....



{ONE} 

Music is one of the most enjoyable things. From long car rides pretending you are on stage and ready to bust a move, too taking a boring activity and adding background music. I believe we all love this activity. Honestly, I listen to music whenever i can. Including publishing this post, I have been contentiously bopping to Michael Jackson. (not a fan, well can't help it. But he is the King of pop!) So I've added a list of fun song's that are currently in my I pod as we speak. 

1. Survivor- Destiny's Child.
2. Feel it ( feat. Mr. Talkbox)- Toby Mac. (LOVE. Go Listen & Download.) 
3. Should've Been Us- Tori Kelly ( Daily errand jam) 
4. Smooth Criminal- Michael Jackson (FAV!!) 

{TWO} 

Candles, Candles Candles! I'm going to start off and Admit one of the many problem's i have is Candles. I love all kind's of scents. There is nothing like finding that scent that is refreshing to you, and letting the scent's flow through the room. This particular candle was a deal find at target. This is the candle i have for my office. I will admit it makes me crave sweet's but when i burn it i feel like i get my sweet that way and not feeling guilty in splurging for the real deal. 

{THREE} 

So as i stated in number 2, i have many obsessions. One of my so called obsessions is Mugs. I love coffee in the morning. My day is not completed without it. However, I love collecting Mugs as well. This one however, is my all time favorite. It's special because this is the band that Nick & I both loved when we got together. We've seen them numerous times. Of those many concert's was the night we got engaged we saw them Live after Nick proposed and had the chance of congratulating us on our engagement. This unfortunately was not purchased on this special night, we found it on there last concert tour. It was the last one too. So as you can see it's very special to me. 

{FOUR} 

Of course being Newlywed's and all, I was not going to leave this post without saying how much i loved my Husband. I know for a fact he is my best friend in the world. God's blessed us both in tremendous ways. I'm thankful for kodak moment's like this of just him being good ole Nick. I wouldn't have him any other way. He is such a goof, but he always no matter how i am feeling able to put the biggest smile on my face. 

{FIVE}

Out of all these, this is my favorite. See without God, or Jesus. My life would not be what it is. Our marriage would not exists. It's through Jesus who paid the ultimate sacrifice to give us a hope in Heaven with him. Through his grace he gave us everlasting life. I also Love Proverb's 31 Ministries. They have beautiful devotion's that really pierce the heart. No matter what, I want my life to portray God and his will. I stumbled upon this prayer through my Facebook feed and had to share it! :) 

So there you have it. 5 things that i shared on this beautiful Friday. Hope everyone enjoy's there Weekend!
