I don’t know about y’all, but I was a huge Fear Factor fan back when it was originally on. I know, ME of all people! I would never in a million years do any of the stunts on that show, but I sure loved to watch other people!

Did y’all watch? Link up your TV talk with Neely and me!

Also, don’t forget to enter my giveaway!

Hope y’all have an awesome weekend!

Hey y’all!

I am super excited to share a fun giveaway with y’all today!

I was recently contacted by My Memories, a digital scrabooking software company. I received their My Memories Suite software to try out.

I have always been a big scrapbooker, but I have always done it the old-fashioned way. With all of my pictures being digital, I was very excited to get to try a digital program.

My Memories Suite has so many great scrapbook options! There are fun premade album templates where you just plug in your pictures and words to create cute pages.

There are also TONS of cute backgrounds and embellishments to create your own pages!

The program was very user-friendly. All of the pages above took minutes to create. I am definitely looking forward to putting together more fun albums!

So, what’s in it for you?

My Memories is offering one of my readers their own My Memories Suite software program! If you are a scrapbooker, I think you will definitely enjoy this software.

Hey y’all!

Today I’m guest posting for my sweet friend Regina.

I’m talking about one of my family’s Christmas traditions. I would love it if you would head over to her blog and read! I’m stuck in bed sick today, so it would make me feel a lot better if you would go read. :)

Hope y’all are having a wonderful Monday!

Shocking, I know.

I started looking around on Netflix to see what was new that I haven’t watched, so I started season 1 of Sister Wives.

Honestly, it’s kind of like Toddlers and Tiaras for me. It’s a whole lot of weird and crazy but it kind of sucks you in and you can’t stop watching. I seriously don’t get how they make that work. Ick.

Hey y’all!

Today I’ve got a special post from my BFF Neely! She’s talking about some of the things she can’t live without. If you don’t already follow her blog or twitter, you should. Seriously, do it now! :)

————————————–

Well hey, readers of Ashley’s Carnival Ride! I’m her BFF Neely :)

I blog over at A Complete Waste of Makeup…it’s a blog about exactly what it sounds like.

I have been lucky enough to hang out with Ashley IRL several times! We have even gone on a fun trip to Chicago together! I am also proud to call her one of my best friends in the world :)

A little photo montage if you will….

I figured today to learn a little about me I would share my major vices….oh yeah it’s juicy…not really.

1. Starbucks Lattes: I probably go to starbucks more than any one person should. At least once a day…sometimes twice. I am currently the reigning Mayor of MY starbucks on foursquare.

2. Reisling: Oh Reisling…how I love thee. What can I say…wine is good stuff.

3. Handbags: I do not discriminate: Expensive, cheap, Marc Jacobs, Gussy, Gap …I love a great handbag! Currently I’m on the lookout of an olive green or mustard yellow crossbody FYI.

4. Tory Burch: EVERYTHING. I have 6 pairs of shoes and a handbag currently I have my eye on this….

5. My iPhone: I swear one of these days someone will play a cruel joke on me and hide it. It is never more than a few feet away from me. Even when student teaching I had it in my pocket….obsessed much?

6. DVR: How else would I watch so much TV??? Revenge, anything on Bravo, Toddlers and Tiaras (shout-out Ash), How I Met Your Mother and Dexter are my favs!

So hopefully you learned a little more about me if you did not already know these things. I also am a big fan of peanut butter, snickers, Ugg Boots and Toms, Christmas (even thought I’m Jewish), and lipgloss.

Come check out my blog…its a good time.

Money for my Blissdom ticket!

Karen Kingsbury is my favorite!

Lots of great music!

I seriously think every blogger needs this! :)

Hey y’all!

Today is the last of the Thanksgiving posts! I have had so much fun going back through all of the pictures to put these posts together. We had such a fabulous time. Here is the rest of the recap!

Monday, before I headed down to southeast Oklahoma, I got to have dinner with Bekah!

This was our second time to get together, and let me tell you, she is the sweetest! I am so thankful that that the blogoverse led me to such a great friend. I just wish we’d known each other when she still lived in Oklahoma! We talked for about two hours that night, and we probably could’ve stayed all night chatting! Bekah, I can’t wait for the next time you’re in OK!

Thursday evening, after all of the craziness was over, I took the girls to see Breaking Dawn.

EA’s cell phone autocorrect changed Breaking Dawn to Breaking Wind, so that’s what we called it all day! After seeing the movie, Breaking Wind fits much better :)

Friday, everyone came in to see Momma and Daddy’s new house!

The house is looking so good, and I can’t wait for it to be finished!

After looking at the house, we all went into town to have lunch at the restaurant in the old train depot.

Of course we couldn’t resist playing on the train tracks :)

After lunch, everyone started their trips back home. I ended up going out to Jessica’s to see her and love on my Sweet P! She has grown so much since I saw her last!

I got to snuggle with her for two hours while she slept! It was wonderful! :)

Momma and Daddy have a new kitty that has decided to live in their back yard. She is super sweet, and we had a little mini photo shoot with her.

She posed for the camera very well!

Sandy wasn’t too thrilled to be having her picture taken.

Saturday, we started having plumbing problems at home, so we couldn’t run any water. My hair was disgusting and I couldn’t wait to wash it, so Momma and I went up the street to our church and washed my hair in the kitchen sink!

It was nice.

What a wonderful week! I’m already looking forward to our next Thanksgiving together!

Coming up on the blog this week, my favorite soundtracks, a guest post from my bff Neely, plus some Christmas fun! I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a great week!
