Family Portraits

My friend Jessica was kind enough to take our family photos. Here they are (well, some of them)

My Favorite Things

Do you have something you just LOOOOVE that you want to tell everyone about?! I challenge you to post something like this on your blog.

My best friend is an esthetician and we have tried for months to get my face to clear up from the "acne." (she says its just blemishes, but to me it feels like acne.) When she put me on the following products my face cleared up and I have started getting tons of complements on my skin.

First I invested in the Mia Clarisonic. It gets an extra layer of crap off your face that you dont get when washing with your hands.
She put me on B Kamins Hydrating Acne Wash. I have pretty normal skin but it gets dry pretty quickly, which can cause more breakouts.
When I am done washing my face I use these blemish pads also from B Kamins. THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! Seriously amazing!!!! All those little pumps that arent actually anything on your face disappear and make your face smooth. They are expensive but absolutely worth it!!!
Finally I use the most amazing moisturizer ever! Its by Eminence. Its all natural and organic. Regular moisturizers can easily clog pores. This is an awesome moisturizer for people who have oily skin too, because its oil free! It took me a couple weeks to get used to the smell (it smells like my tooth paste), but I swear by this product.
I used to use a face primer before applying my Bare Minerals, but I discovered Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. I cannot live without this! It makes your skin smooth looking and even toned. Its lightweight and feels amazing on your skin. You dont feel like you are wearing a ton of makeup.

Christmas Morning (Finally Some Pictures!)

My mom and Grandpa Mike got the kids a large piano you dance on, like in the movie BIG. The kids loved it... and Rhett did too!



Luke is opening up all 3 of the Toy Story movies.

Kylee and Luke love their new winter hats from Momo and Popo!


Oh boy! These toys are hilarious! If you havent had the chance to play with them, go check them out at the toy store. They are called "sing-a-ma-jigs." Each one sounds different and sings a different song, but together they sing beautifully (joking). This was a huge hit with the parents. Thanks Allie and Mike!





We attempted trying to potty train Luke while Rhett had a week off and my mom was here. It didnt go so well, considering Luke doesnt even know the sensation that he needs to go. We went to Barnes and Noble and read up a bit about it. Turns out he probably isnt ready quite yet. I think I will try when Luke gets closer to 3. I wanted him out of diapers before then, but we shall see about that.

Hacked Account & A Merry Christmas

The other morning I got a call from a friend letting me know my account was hacked into. I received many more calls that day from friends and family about my account on Gmail and Facebook.. I finally got access to it TODAY, but sadly, ALL my emails and addresses have been deleted. This is my LIFE they messed with, not just a simple email account. I am heart broken and it has pretty much, sadly, ruined my Christmas for me. I hate to even say that, but I feel devastated! Last year our car was broke into, now my email and Facebook have gotten broken into. What the heck people?!

I am so so sorry that you all got crazy emails from "me." I am safe at home with my family, not in the U.K. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

I have changed my password and would advice all of you to make sure you always sign out of your accounts and have different passwords for all your accounts. I pray this doesn't happen to any of you! Its just sick and wrong that someone would do something like this.

Comments

I have been wondering why no one is commenting on our blog, and come to find out that I have had to "approve them" on here. I had over 50 comments that needed to be approved!!! I am so behind. LOL
