Today’s Top 2 Tuesday is two things you want to buy! Here are a couple of things I’m loving right now!
1. A new camera
I really need a new camera! I have a digital camera that is very old and doesn’t take great pictures at all.
I don’t know what kind of camera I want, but I know I definitely need something.
I would definitely be open to suggestions!
And, just for fun….
2. This gorgeous Louis Vuitton bag!
No way is that ever happening, but it’s super cute!
Link up at Taylor’s blog and show us what things you’re loving right now! Check back here tomorrow (hopefully) for giveaway information! It’s gonna be great!
Pioneer Woman has a list of fun Elvis facts on her homeschooling website today! Elvis is one of my all-time favorites! Check it out!
Be looking out for giveaway information in the next day or two! Hope you all have a great Monday!
Friday Fives this weeks is ways to relieve stress. My job can be super stressful, so here are few ways I relieve my stress!
1. PRAY!
It works, yall! Just turning things over to God helps a lot. Telling Him how I’m feeling, and then trusting that He will take care of me makes me feel better. I need to do better with this!
2. Music!
Music ALWAYS helps me relax! I have music playing pretty much every moment of my life (Chris Young is playing while I write this), but I really find myself needing it when I’m stressing out.
3. Shopping
There are times that I get so stressed and overworked that I just have to take a nap! Even lunchtime naps give me a boost to get me through the day!
What do you do to relieve your stress? Link up at Beth’s blog!
I found a recipe a few weeks ago for cherry limeade, and I finally tried it tonight! It was great, better than Sonic, I’m pretty sure! :) I’m gonna go Pioneer Woman on you and post pictures along with the recipe!
Cherry Limeade
2 cans frozen lime concentrate
1 2-liter lemon lime soda
1 jar maraschino cherries
Put lime concentrate in a pitcher.
Pour the lemon lime soda over it. 7 Up is much better than Sprite.
Empty the cherry juice and mix it up.
Add cherries and limes!
It was really good! I’ll definitely try this one again!
I also started Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred today. I need to do better about exercise. I tried Julianne Hough’s Dance with Julianne DVD, but that didn’t end so well. You can read about that disaster here.
I thought Jillian might be better for me. Hmm…
I didn’t die, but it sure didn’t feel good! I ended up yelling at Jillian through the tv about how much I hated her, and my arms and legs feel like Jello, but I survived! Anyone else tried this? We’ll see if I make it to day 2!
After begging, pleading, and nagging, my brother finally agreed to let me do a post about him for Kelly’s Show Us Your Life-Single Boys!
Here’s Colby!
Colby is 21 years old. He is about to start his senior year of college. He is majoring in kinesiology exercise fitness management. After graduating, he will go on to grad school to get his masters in athletic training. He loves sports and played baseball and basketball for many years. He hopes to work as a trainer for a university or professional sports team!
He’s a very sweet, good, Christian guy, and any girl would be extremely lucky to have him!
He’s great with kids! He will be a wonderful daddy someday!
He’s also a great cook and very clean and organized! You can read a little more about that here!
Alright, ladies! Leave your email address or blog address, and I’ll pass them onto him!

Like always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments! What are y’all listening to right now?
I am so ridiculously excited! My Momma booked our summer girls’ trip this weekend! After last year’s whirlwind trip to Memphis and Nashville, we decided for something a little less scheduled and more relaxing. So, this year, we will be heading to…
Kansas City, MO!
Between hanging out at the Plaza and relaxing at the hotel we are going to see…
Then, we are ending our trip with these guys!
With special guest…
When we decided on a place to go, I just did a search to see what events were in town. So excited to see that Brooks & Dunn’s Last Rodeo tour would be there! They are such legends in country music, and it will be really awesome to see them before they stop touring together.
Now, just gotta get through the next three weeks of work!
It’s time for Stephanie’s Sweets for the Sweet! This weekend’s topic is cool, summertime treats!
I absolutely love anything chocolate, and one of my favorite things to make in the summer is chocolate milkshakes!
I found a recipe from Rachael Ray, and I tweaked it to fit me! Clicking on the picture will take you to the original recipe.
My recipe is chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, and chocolate syrup! I blend it in my magic bullet, and it makes just enough. Also, if you use low-fat or fat-free everything, it’s not a horribly unhealthy dessert!
Link up at Stephanie’s blog and share your summertime sweet treats!
