5 on Friday

Today I am joining [the good life blog] for 5 on Friday. 

{one}

My handsome hubby is finally coming home. He has been away all week for work and I can't wait to pick him up from the airport this afternoon! Eeek!

{two}

Tomorrow we are traveling to Ocala to see our favorite band Need to Breathe. These guys put on the best concerts... and that is from a girl that has been to a great deal of concerts!

{three}

I am now the PROUD sister of a RN! My sweet sister passed her boards this morning. She has the best heart and is clearly meant to do this!

 {four}

When my husband is away I don't sleep well at ALL. Four hours total last night... need a bunch of coffee today!

{five}

My house smells like fall. It is glorious!

Day Three

Best Childhood Memory 

Abby... the best dog I have ever seen. My favorite childhood memory was the day we got her.

For months my dad, sister and I had been begging my momma for a dog. She finally caved, did the research and we were off to go get the new family dog. We didn't have a name picked out but we new we were getting a girl golden retriever. The drive seamed like forever to go get her (about 45 minutes). When we arrived to the breeder so many puppies were around most males and only two girls left. We wanted the hyper one... a dog that could keep up with our family.

Later that night was movie night, and we picked a classic... Young Frankenstein! If you have seen the movie then you will know what scene I am talking about, if you have not seen this movie then shame on you. The part when Igor gets the wrong brain and says "Abby someone... yes, Abby Normal". We all looked at each other and said that is the name! It fit her perfectly.

So I guess this was more of a best day at the childhood memory.

Day Two

Today is 10 likes & 10 dislikes

Likes...

Cloth Diapers. My hubby actually was the one that approached cloth diapers and I was more hesitant (knowing that I was going be home all day with Caleb and cleaning them). But after some research, talking to quite a bit of momma's we agreed that YES we will cloth diaper. FuzzyBunz is the brand we use and LOVE them!

La Croix Water. I am a snob about sparkling water, drinking my weight in these things everyday.

Yankee Candles. Our family (me) has a candle burning everyday. I just love for my house to smell like the season.

Project Life. Becky Higgens has changed my style on scrapbooking which I am so thankful for. I love packing photos into a layout that doesn't take a long time to embellish. They now sell Project Life at Michaels... 40% off, yes please!

Simply Face Wash. I have ridiculously sensitive skin and have finally found a face wash that is gently enough on my skin, but still keeps it nice a clean.

Tervis Tumblers. This is all our entire family drinks out of. We have the mugs, water bottles, and cups of all sizes.

to do list. I feel so accomplished when I write down a to do list and cross things out when I finished something.

Dusting. Odd maybe, but I dust everyday. It is my zen time.

Fresh Flowers. Sam's Club has really good deals on flowers. Every other week we get one batch to have at our house.

Mark Makeup. It is the younger brand from Avon that has some amazing products.

Dislikes...

my nails not being painted. It is very rare that you will see me with out nail polish.

Toys in the living room. I understand Caleb wants to bring some of his toys out into the front room, but when he is in bed those toys go away. We are setting the guest room into his playroom.

lawn work. I am so thankful that my hubby doesn't mind doing the lawn, because I can't stand it.

Humidity... I live in Florida, you'd think I would be ok with it but no I am not

No Disney for us... The hubby wont let us take Caleb to Disney until he 5. I would love to take him when he is a little over two.

Scary Movies. Can't do them at all.

jeans. I think they are uncomfortable. Never wear them.

Peas. they smell horrible, taste disgusting... I am getting oozy just thinking about them!

Dangle Earrings. I don't think they look right on me. Plain and simple studs what I like.

Not being on Time. Grew up military brat and my family is all about being on time. My hubby's family is the opposite. We call it Gable Time and it drive me crazy.

Day One

Day One... What is your middle name and do you like it?

My middle name is Leigh and I LOVE it. My parents gave me the same middle name as my grandma. This special lady and I have so much in common. We have the same three birthmarks (not one... three!) and are the crafty ones in our crazy family. She teaches line dancing at a local country western bar, travels more then anyone I have ever met and just loves life. I feel blessed to have her middle name, hoping to one day give it to my future daughter. 

The name Leigh means Field... interesting, I was hoping for it to mean Coolest Person Ever. Way off!

One Fish, Two Fish...

Last Thursday Caleb and I kidnapped Jeff in the afternoon so we could go visit The Florida Aquarium. We have annual passes to the Zoo and for the entire month of September they do Swaptember with the Aquarium and Mosi. Caleb is a bit to young to enjoy Mosi, but we new he would LOVE the aquarium. One of the reason's why our family likes the aquarium is because they focus on wild life in Florida (besides the South African penguins they just got). We can really show Caleb the fish that literally live in our back yard.  

They normally have a splash park but with the weather being so icky they had everything turned off (which I am thankful for). Caleb ran around that area for the longest time. He was loving with the slide and this surf board they had.

After the aquarium Caleb passed out. This kid doesn't really like to sleep in the car (lucky me), but as soon as he was in the seat... lights out!
