Weekend Recap

The weekend flew by!!! 

 Saturday consisted of the basement! All the doors are in and floor trim is also done! A few more things to finish up then the kitchen/plumbing and bathroom!! Almost there! I'll make sure to do a BIG Revel ASAP! The Mr has done an amazing job!! 

Then crabs with the family!!!!! This is one of my favorite things about Maryland! I have fond memories of crabbing as a kid with my Dad and Uncle! 

Oh and this guy Crush Davis. Us Marylanders love us some Orioles baseball! Or maybe I just love him?!

Sunday I bought myself this baby. 

I was going to wait until the new one came Out. But I just couldn't! Plus Best Buy Mobile had an amazing deal!!! Double your trade in so I got $300- for my old 4s! I was able to buy this and a car charger and another lighting cord for the car! Now I would really love a personalized Otterbox case but uh $70- bones for one is crazy!! And I still have bones left on a best buy gift card! The bigger screen is awesome and its so much thinner! 

True that Carrie! 

Then this happened and I died! I mean really Sassy Pants!!!! 

Oh this is another great MD thing. Fishers Popcorn. Mmmmmmmm I did good so far! There's still half left! (Thatswhatshesaid)

I'm still looking for a blog design or nickname..any ideas? 

Thanks Tara for the email! My post is solely for you! Ha! 

Instagram

Hey all! Happy Friday girls!!!  

Are you on Instagram? If so find me! I post tons on there!!! Username----Aetsmith 

What's on your weekend plans?? We're having crabs tomorrow night! A family tradition! Plus working on the basement! 

Now I need coffee ASAP. We're making grape jelly today and both kids haven been up since 630! 

Yes. That's 25lbs of sugar!!!!!!! 

Ps- this is my 3rd blog post this week! 

Also I'm looking for a nickname or something catchy to get away from Smith Family, any ideas?!?

Mid week Randoms.

Day 2! Woot! That's an accomplishment.

And The Mr. is almost home. (Thank you dear sweet baby Jesus). These kids have been fighting and starving allllllll day. 

This week so far has consisted of.....canning, the zoo, the grocery store (holy hell I've already been 3 times)...

So I've been canning up a storm! This week was Salsa!! And let me tell you.... It's amazing. 

15 cups of maters!!!! It could be slightly hotter but I was afraid of the habaneros!!! (Mr. And I tried them and immediately  ran to the sink, but 15 cups of maters needs way more then 1 habanero.) So next time ill add more! It made 18 jars!!!!!! We may or may not be having grilled cheeses for dinner so we can have chips and salsa! Ha! 

I also made these Turkey Burgers on Tuesday. They are now in the new rotation! Good stuff.

Courtesy of Bethenny of course. ugh. 

My advice to her- Jason wasn't terrible, girl. Best your going to get with that massive chip on your shoulder.

I swear that's still from her Housewives of NYC days. And by the way she WASN'T a house wife! 

A new friend (I hope I can call her that, it's cool right Tara?!? Haha!) has given me some suggestions on how to keep rolling with this blog. You can find her here --- http://www.generousimpulses.com/ 

So here we go!! 

Ps I'm looking for a new layout/design, any suggestions on who to use?

Thanks! 

7-8?

A friend said I should start a blog...ha I told her well I have one and never update it....7-8 months. Who's counting? 

Uh I suck at this blogging business. Epic fail.

But. I'm back. And I'm back with no sweetness and sugar coating. 

I'm doing this blog for me. There will be no editing because I'm afraid who I may offend. If you don't like it please keep clicking. I'm real. I'm also ALL OVER the place. I don't tend to flow well. So I'm starting over. 

Here goes my intro-  Im a real 20 something mom of 2 kids 15 months apart, I'm married to the love of my life, he has became an amazing daddy and a even better husband then I could've dreamed of, I'm a country girl at heart who likes Toms and Coach. I'm not afraid to get dirty. I like cheap wine and hate beer. My friends are insanely important to me. My mom lives with us since my dad passed away. 2 years ago. I prefer Instagram over Facebook anyway. I can't stand fake people. Or liars. If your either keep clicking. I love DIY channel. And Housewives of OC and jersey (wowwww Teresa!) also love Duck Dynasty and want to marry Willie. (Yes, I'm aware I'm married).  #for8yearsthankyouverymuch I'm also obsessed with my garden. I have a new love for our earth. We have canned green beans, pickles and tomatoes. Salsa is next! Were also hunters. If that offends you keep clicking. We eat all that we kill or donate. I dont care about your opinion of hunters. They are wrong. I also have no intentions of starting a new paragraph either. 

Fine. I will. 

I like to craft and do it yourself things. I do love to shop. I can be an extreme couponer. I'm also a hoarder. (Not a good combo). I really like iced coffee. No matter what the temp. I also like cheese. And ice cream. And all things bad for you. Cue 2 years of weigh watchers. I've lost 40 lbs and gained some back. And have now successfully being gaining and losing the same 5 lbs for 7 months. (What the hell). For real? Sigh...

So here we go. 

Here's to blogging, instagraming and fb. Be ready for kid talk, weight talk, house talk, beauty talk, clothes talk...and whatever hell else I want too. I

Friday!

TGIF

But when your a mom that doesn't mean a lot!!! Lol!

Not much planned for the weekend. Birthday party prep for Charlottes Strawberry party next weekend! My sweet girl will be 3. My baby is 3. Ugh. Sucks.

Time flies. With your second it goes even faster. I brought home preschool papers today. Ugh.

Weight Watchers.

Ugh. Weight Watchers. Attempting my first goal (again, darn it) for this year. Back at it. I'm up sadly 20lbs. And that sucks big big big time. So here we go.

And my Mom joined with us! Hopefully we can all push to drop the rest. So I would like to lose the 20 again and 20-30 more.....it blows to have to lose all of that again. Blows big time.

Treadmill and I have a date tomorrow and ugh...instantly work out (lord help me).

But I'm done. No more playing around. No excuses.

Goals for the week.
-move trigger food out of sight
-MORE water less Coke

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful safe evening!
