Thoughtful Thursdays: Thought-FULL!

So, I'm changing things up a bit for today's Thursday post. Instead of the regular Thoughtful Thursday, its going to be ThoughtFull Thursday... a Thursday FULL of Thoughts!

Now, here are my thoughts: Let's do a Pink Potpourri SWAP!!! I've had all sorts of thoughts of what kind of swap we should have, but I want to hear from YOU what kind of swap you'd like to do!
So, let me know YOUR thoughts on this...what kind of swap would you be interested in doing? Here are a few suggestions...

-Favorites swap

-Homemade swap

-Book/Magazine swap

-Recipe swap

Or maybe more specific:

-"Color" swap (ie. Pink & Lime Swap...everything you swap has to be those colors)

-Knitting Swap

-Stationary Swap

Anyways, those are just some ideas to get your minds rolling. PLEASE let me know what you think! The more people who get involved in this, the more fun it is!

Hilarities: Falling

I am a BIG fan of America's Funniest Home Videos. I used to watch it every Friday on TGIF! (Along with Full House and Family Matters!). I am a BIG fan of their video montages set to music. This video is full of my favorites...all of the above, plus the perfect outdoor, summer, swimming themes this video is packed with! So it's perfect!

I hope you enjoy laughing at these people's miseries as much as I have :) Don't worry, its ok to point and laugh...they can't see you :) Plus, they're proud of their falling accomplishments...it could possibly win them $100,000!!!

Trendy Tuesday - Exfoliating Scrub

One of the big trends I've noticed lately in my magazines is everything going natural and organic. It's amazing to read some of the things in non-natural products that we put on our skin. So, I figured it was time to try some of these new trend products.

In one of my recent magazines, they featured a product by Burt's Bees called Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub. So, I figured I would by it and try it out.

It is awesome! Very softly scented, I could feel the exfoliating finely ground peach stone removing the dead layers of skin. But its featured ingredient is Willowbark Extract, which "contains natural Beta Hydroxy Acids, which work as a natural skin exfoliants to help unplug follicles and pores." After rinsing it off, my face felt incredibly smooth, with no irritation. Burt's Bees has a lot of incredible products!

Have you tried any? Any recommendations???

Monday Mayhem - Fez's 3rd Birthday

What a busy weekend...mom was in town, we ate at fantastic restaurants, did some wonderful shopping, relaxed, and had a great time together! We also had a college cookout this weekend, and Zack was able to baptize one of the college students at church on Sunday!!!

Friday was Fez's 3rd birthday. He's growing up to be such a wonderful, young dog *sniff* :) Every year (all 3 of them) we take him to Sonic to get a dollop of ice cream and then over to PetsMart and let him "pick out" a toy of his choice! Here are some pictures from his birthday part-ay!

Now, at PetsMart, Fez's little 10 lb body gives him the advantage over most other dogs to be able to crawl under the shelves and eat all the food and treats that have fallen out of the bags. It's his favorite part :)

Here's a big treat he found under this shelf...

Next, Sonic Run. We let him look over the menu to pick out anything he wanted. But it didn't take him long to stick with his regular Vanilla Ice Cream Dollop...

This is my favorite...it looks like his eyes are about to pop out of his head. Sheer excitement? Or brain freeze??? Hmmmm....

After his birthday ice cream, we headed home, where Fez enjoyed an evening with his new birthday present toys, and a full belly of food and ice cream.

Moving on, LOOK at this most beautiful Teapot and Creamer set my mom and I found at TJ Maxx! Have you ever seen anything more beautiful??? I am hoping there is a sugar bowl that goes with this set somewhere, so if you ever find it, let me know!!!

And finally, the porch update: Totally demolished! Zack and his friend finished this project this week. Now all we have to do is clean out the concrete, and get started on the deck!ps...don't worry...we didn't forget about the Fez! Zack made him his own stairway so he could still reach his dog door :)
