With the Holiday season underway, I've decided to not blog until the new year and spend all of my time enjoying the ones that mean the most to me. With that said, I'll be back some time in January. I hope you all have a great Holiday season! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Liebster Award
Ok so, no surprise to anyone that I'm a total slacker and didn't post this sooner! haha! I got this award about a month ago and I'm just now getting around to posting about it and paying it forward! First off, a HUGE GIANT thanks to Yen over at Green House on top of the Hill for nominating me! You're the best, girl! Now here is a little about the award...
Liebster: (der) n. sweetheart, beloved person, darling
Facts of the Liebster Award:
The Liebster Award's origins are pretty much a mystery. Bloggers nominate other bloggers that have 200 or less followers. It's basically a "Hey, that's a sweet little blog you've got there. Here's an award!" You can't just accept the award. You have to play by the (ever changing) rules and pay it forward. Then you can put the award on your blog for all to see.
Rules:
Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
Answer the questions that the nominator set for you, plus create 11 questions for the people you've nominated to answer.
Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
Go to their page and tell them.
No tag backs.
11 Things About Me:
- I have a pointless hope that one day *NSYNC will reunite. I know it will probably never happen but a girl can dream!
- I don't have any close friends. Every time I've ever opened myself up to someone I've either gotten hurt or they have died (my bff died two years ago in a car accident), so I'm completely closed off most of the time.
- Although I don't have close friends, Paul is my best friend and to me that's worth 10 close friends.
- I hate my house being a tiny bit of a mess, it drives me wild! I have to vacuum and sweep everyday!
- I used to not be close with my MIL, to be honest, we HATED each other but as time has gone on I actually enjoy being around her and holding a conversation with her.
- My all time favorite color is lime green but I enjoy decorating with lots of different colors.
- I've been to several concerts in the past, everything from Britney Spears to Incubus to Trina. I've been to so many I couldn't even keep count anymore!
- My favorite Holiday is Halloween but I love decorating for Christmas!
- Our cat Pepper that recently had kittens a few months back is pregnant again and due anytime in the next week or so. I'm pretty excited! The daddy is my cat Max this time, after this litter she's getting fixed... that little hooker! ;)
- I could shop at IKEA every week for the rest of my life and never get sick of it!
- I'm obsessed with getting my eyebrows waxed. I think it drives Paul a little crazy too. lol
Yen's Questions:
1. What is your current top 5 favorite songs at the moment? Beauty & a Beat - the Biebs, Diamonds - Rihanna, Red - Taylor Swift, Stereo - MGK, One More Night - Maroon 5
2. Why did you start a blog? I started a blog so I could share all of the changes to our first home together, which then turned into a blog more about me and my life, but the core of the blog is about DIY.

4. What is your favorite holiday and why? I answered that one up there, but Halloween!

6. If you could have any profession in the world, what would you want to be? Britney Spears' personal assistant, that's a no brainer ;)
7. List 5 weird habits you have. I don't think I have 5. Hmm. I bite my nails. Does that count?
8. Coffee or Tea? Coffee! But I like tea too, when I'm sick. :)
9. Current book you're reading? I'm not reading anything at the moment, but I'm trying to get on the 50 Shades of Grey train. I just gotta get the book. Mostly just to laugh at it. ;P
10. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? Hopefully living up north somewhere, with the ones I love most!
11. Do you like the city/town you're currently living in? HELL NO. LOL. I really haaaaate it here. HATE.

5 Years.
Gracie - 3 months old
Five years ago today I gave birth to the sweetest baby girl anyone could ask for! I can't express how proud I am to say that Gracie is my daughter. She's so smart & such a great little girl. She of course made it clear to everyone she came in contact with at school today that today was her birthday & she was 5! I'm leaving in about 20 minutes to bring her class cupcakes & juice for her special day. She's so excited! After school, we're taking her to her favorite restaurant for lunch, Chili's. Should be a great day for my little one!
Happy Birthday, princess! We love you SO much!!
