Making Memories Monday

This weekend was all about family, friends and taking another leap of faith. I have been intrigued with skin care for many years, trying to find the perfect line for my finicky skin. I've had chemical peels, microdermabrasion, traditional facials, and even resorted to Accutane. My skin abhors stress and shows off during these times. Isn't that just wonderful...you're already stressed and your face breaks out which leads to more stress. This can create quite an ugly cycle. Pun intended.

I believe there are no coincidences; every event is purposefully placed in your life. I kept seeing friends join a company that I didn't know anything about. Intrigued, I started talking to my sweet, honest friend, Laura, about her decision to get on board.  I knew she would give me the straight up answers I craved.  No sales pitch.  No selfish backing.  After talking, praying, and researching, I'm excited to announce that I'm a Rodan+Fields consultant! I cannot wait to see my personal results with these products. I cannot wait to help others find the right products to end their frustrating search for a regimen that works. If you're interested in learning more about the business, I'd love to chat with you. If you're interested in trying out products or ordering (there's a 60 day, empty bottle guarantee...they must be good!), I'd love to chat with you, too!

After making this decision Saturday morning, it was time to celebrate!  We had a birthday party for a friend's precious daughter. My mommy brain ruined that. We showed up as the party was wrapping. I thought it was from 2-4 instead of 12-2. How embarrassing!  We tried to make it up to our disappointed little man with ice cream and lake time. I think spending the afternoon with Pappy floating around was the perfect medicine!

While Ham was playing with Pappy and Parker was playing with Noni, Jared and I scooted off on the golf cart to check out new construction in the area. We have always loved walking through houses as they're going up.  Our dream is to one day build our forever home.  There's something about seeing the foundation of your family's home being built that is so special to us.  And we figure if we didn't kill each other building our first home in our first year of marriage, we'll be just fine the second time around.

That evening we celebrated our dear friends, Brian and Shannon, and their sweet, sweet news that they will have a little girl in November!  I am beyond thrilled for them! I know Collins Elizabeth will be a salve for their wounded hearts.

After church on Sunday, we played on the lake all day.

Feeling refreshed after a fun weekend, I've got to get my booty in gear. The hubs turns 30 this week!  Finally, he's joining his cougar in the 30's club!!  The boys and I have a few surprises in store to make it a special week for him.
