Firmoo Glasses Review

*This product was sent to me to review, but all opinions are my own.*

Hey y’all!

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Firmoo and asked to review a pair of eyeglasses!

I’ve struggled with my eyesight for most of my life. I got contacts when I was in fourth or fifth grade because my eyes were so bad. Back then it wasn’t very cool to wear glasses, so I begged for contacts instead. Because I also suffer from seasonal allergies, sometimes my eyes are red and itchy, so I can’t wear my contacts. When I was in eighth grade, I got glasses to wear on days my eyes were too bad to wear the contacts. My prescription has changed several times since then, but I’ve never gotten new lenses.

I was really excited to try a pair of glasses from Firmoo! The website was easy to use, and I was able to upload a picture of myself so I could “try on” all of the different lenses. With a little help from Tessa, these are the lenses I chose!

They’ve been a lot of fun! It took awhile for me to adjust to new frames and a stronger prescription, so I could only wear them for a couple of hours at a time. Now that my eyes have adjusted, I really enjoy wearing them!

Social Sunday

Hey y’all!

Before I get started, I have to add something from last week. When we talked about important people in our lives, I left out a really special precious friend, and I just feel terrible about it! So Meghan, I love you and I miss you and I’m sorry!
meghan


Today’s questions are a bunch of fun randoms :)

1. What is the most difficult thing you have been through?
When I was a kid, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which is curvature of the spine. I wore a back brace at night for about a year, and when that didn’t work, I ended up having two spinal fusion surgeries. It was not a fun experience and I had to make some life changes, but it was the best thing for my health, so I worked through it. Aside from a few physical limitations, I’ve been able to live a pretty normal life!

2. What was your best birthday?
My family has always made sure my birthdays are special, so I don’t know that I can single one birthday out! A fun party I can remember from childhood was my 50′s party. We all wore poodle skirts, listened to 50′s music, and my cake was decorated to look like a record! It was lots of fun!

3. What has been your favorite thing you’ve done in your own city?
One of the things I love most about Oklahoma is how we come together to support each other during difficult times. Last year when the awful tornadoes ripped through Moore, Blake Shelton an Toby Keith each planned huge benefit concerts to support the families affected by the storms. I went to both of them, and in addition to hearing some great music, it was great to be able to come together as a community and a state to support each other. A close second-attending an OKC Thunder game during the NBA playoffs this year :)

4. What is your idea of the perfect date night?
Tough question :)

5. Have you ever been to a blogging conference? If so which one(s)? If not, do you want to?
I went to the last two Blissdoms and one Bloggy Boot Camp! Through all three conferences, I gained some great knowledge about blogging and life, and I made some amazing friends! If you’ve never been to a blog conference, I highly encourage you to try one!

Fourth of July Recap

Hey y’all!

I’ve been trying to get this post up for over a week!

Fourth of July was such a fun weekend! I spent the whole weekend (when I wasn’t working) with Joyce and Wade and the Littles! We celebrated on the 4th and 5th both, so it was a fun extended celebration!

The best part of the weekend was watching everything through the eyes of the Littles! They were absolutely mesmerized by the fireworks, and it was fun seeing their excitement!

ash & lg
I just love this girl!

lb dinner
Food is definitely Little Bit’s love language :)

Friday night, we saved the big fireworks, so we just let the kids shoot off sparklers and smoke bombs. As it started getting dark, the houses all around us began shooting off their big fireworks. The Littles and I walked down to the middle of the long winding driveway to the perfect spot where we could see all of the fireworks around us. The kids were SO EXCITED, jumping up and down and screaming when they saw something! It was just precious!

lb sparklers
I can’t even handle the cuteness…

littles
Four of my five Littles! I can’t even tell you what it took to get this picture of the kids. Getting a picture of four kids four and under is like herding cats.

littles2
Between Little Bit’s fits and Little Girl’s interpretive dance, most of them looked like this. Just keeping it real.

Saturday night, Joyce’s family and some friends from church came out to the house, and we had desserts and our big fireworks show!

My contribution to the dessert! I saw someone post their version of this on Instagram, and it looked so fun! The Littles went crazy over it!

It was a great weekend! Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, and it was great spending it with a bunch of my favorite people!
