Your Three Words

I want to participate in this every week but I always get wrapped up in other things. I was half way through folding my clothes when I decided that today is the day! [I get easily distracted during simple daily tasks] My friend Jenni over at Jenni From The Blog started this up over 2 years ago. You should check her blog out, she is pretty awesome.

My Smiley Girls

Don't forget to post question in my Q@A below!

Q&A

I have a new design! Do you like it? I spent the better part of last night [and the early hours of this morning] playing in Photoshop. I am sure a pro could have made the header in about 15 minutes but it took me a good hour to perfect it just the way I wanted it. I got the color idea from Molly's nursery. The walls are robin egg blue and the accent color is pink. It isn't something you normally see in a baby girl's room but we think it is just perfect.

On to the title of this post! I have been thinking about doing Q@A for awhile now. I mainly use this blog as a journal of sorts and love sharing a little bit of my life with friends, family, and new found internet friends. It can be easy to leave certain pieces of my life out either because it doesn't occur to me to include it, or I don't want it out there on the internet. Is there anything you are curious about? Any questions to ask me? Even fun ones would be great! I used to spend hours searching for surveys to complete in high school. You know, the ones that got sent around in email and on AIM. Those were the days...

ASK AWAY!

The Weekend

This past weekend was actually busy for a change. Normally we sit around the house and talk about how we are going to clean up, and then around 4pm we get off the couch and do some dishes. Exciting, huh? Well this time around there were plans written on the calendar! Saturday I attended a bridal shower thrown by my dear friend Aimee. We hadn't seen each other in quite some time so it was fun to get together and talk! Saturday night Dustin and I made an ever exciting trip to Sam's Club. No really, we love being there. We could shop for hours!'

Brooke stayed home to play with Daddy

Aimee and I

Molly came along as well

Sunday we headed down to a family friend's lake house for the day. We ate lunch out on the deck in the BEAUTIFUL weather and watched all the tubers and jet skiiers come by. After lunch we were able to head out on the boat. Dustin and I took Brooke on the tube and we went slow enough not to bounce around but fast enough to stay above the water. Brooke seemed to like it at first and then fell asleep on Dustin's lap. Yes, you read that correctly. She fell asleep out on the tube. Crazy girl. I wish I would have gotten to do some fun tubing but alas we were left behind at the house with the kiddos. Mothers are always an after thought. Did I mention that I spent my bow money on things for Brooke, instead of saving it for an exercise program I want.

We got this last minute at Sam's Club for $5!

Out on the tube

TWO THINGS:

1. McFatty Monday will return next week!
2. Remember to enter my bow give-a-way. It ends at 8pm EST tomorrow!

Freebie Friday

And by FREE I mean that I am giving away a bow set to one of my lucky readers. I know there are not many of you but several of you do post on occasion and I would like to do something nice. I don't plan on becoming regular at give-a-ways, I would just like to give something back to my readers while I still have some bow inventory.

Now I know there are only 10 items listed in my shop. Shame on me! I recently sold a few sets and haven't had the chance to make some to replace them. But given my amount of followers, I have a feeling I'll be just fine. If this proves to be semi-successful and people are happy, I'll up my inventory and do more freebies!

How do you get involved in this give-a-way?
1. Become a follower of my blog. Already are? Just post that in the comment section.
2. Go to my Etsy shop -- Chic Bowtique -- and tell me which set is your favorite. Feel free to browse the sold sets as well, I should be able to recreate them!

Remember to comment for EACH one, so you can have up to two entries. Give-a-way ends at 8:00pm EST on Tuesday, August 24th.
