If you follow me on instagram then you've probably already seen what I got in the mail over the weekend. If not.... It was my new planner stickers!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These are one of my newest obsessions. Seriously though! I'm obsessed with my planner and it pretty much holds my life together so why not customize it and decorate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Once Upon A Planner did an absolute amazing job designing these seasonal stickers. I chose the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas countdown pages. They are all such great quality and Once Upon A Planner was so easy to work with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They not only have seasonal stickers but also have occupational stickers, daily chore stickers, appointment reminder stickers, and Greek stickers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
New stickers are ALWAYS popping up on their instagram and posting to their website.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

If your like me the humidity and heat tend to take a tole on your beauty regime. Let's be honest the month of August can seem like one long, never ending, up hill battle.<br>
<br>
Here are 5 tips to help in your beauty battle:<br>
<br>
1. Prime time<br>
To help set and make sure that my makeup stays as fresh looking as possible I use a primer prior to applying my foundation. This helps to ensure that I have the smooth fined lines, cover any minor imperfections in skin tone, as well as maintain and prolong that fresh "just applied" look. This is also on of my favorite drug store steals!<br>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh06rg5BXmtde-hk1kwI-6XJ6uAtQRaXyA_seS1cfjCuI1PgbaIy0fegIASMrPBgbk0ktpsKeaMFcmVy-zklYVBANjxzQgOXySidRHKGNexAaibIPOqwkzWdmTHVWgAApnT0xtrQJ0EmBH0/s640/blogger-image-1548375835.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh06rg5BXmtde-hk1kwI-6XJ6uAtQRaXyA_seS1cfjCuI1PgbaIy0fegIASMrPBgbk0ktpsKeaMFcmVy-zklYVBANjxzQgOXySidRHKGNexAaibIPOqwkzWdmTHVWgAApnT0xtrQJ0EmBH0/s400/blogger-image-1548375835.jpg" width="300"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
2. Pump it up<br>
If you are naturally curly then humidity is not your friend, sister. Trust me when I say that I can completely relate. So, in these blistering burning months I try to embrace the my natural frizz. I bust out my mousse and diffuser and go to town. This always helps tame my Roseanne Roseanndanna.<br>
<br>
4. Pull it together<br>
The "doo doo ball" is one of my signature go to favorites. Slap a fun french braid down the side to pull in all those sweet wispies. This is a fun and keep cool hairstyle.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LsN1_oLC9BzsyqDTvxrqnDtys0icjkUQSIvFXU1EJdrhFUpVL5yDrrm0PDwtajWaW-WVMwyeyaBuDPi2Y946HAP5EyWwEfUTg6ztI4YQhqKoPQ1_SvzXTfwF0nJnLQfbox75VUdRfuAn/s1600/IMG_9467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LsN1_oLC9BzsyqDTvxrqnDtys0icjkUQSIvFXU1EJdrhFUpVL5yDrrm0PDwtajWaW-WVMwyeyaBuDPi2Y946HAP5EyWwEfUTg6ztI4YQhqKoPQ1_SvzXTfwF0nJnLQfbox75VUdRfuAn/s400/IMG_9467.jpg" width="400"></a></div>

5. Pop of color<br>
During the summer I love to polish my nails with pretty bright colors. A fresh coat of polish is the cherry on top of any outfit and a must accessory for the summer.</div><div><br></div><div>And for you ladies who color your hair check out Madison-Reed. Com. Take their color quiz and find out what color would work great for you!<br>

This past week the humidity has finally taken a back seat and the temperature has dropped to the very comfortable low to mid 90s. B and I have been enjoying evening walks without having to carry an oxygen tank or being completely drenched by the time we get back home. This brief relief is probably temporary but it has been so welcome and has made me so excited for fall. Que the fall decorating. </div>

Wow... saying that out loud and reading it as I type just looks and sounds so incredibly selfish. I think many people go through a phase just like this though. Somedays I become so frustrated even looking at my powder blue formica counter tops that I vocally remind myself that this is not my "forever home." However, this is our home for now. B and I are so proud of our home and have been so incredibly blessed in this space. So, how do you learn to love even your blue counter tops?<br />
<br />
Here are five tips for loving your home.<br />
<br />
1. Add personal touches<br />
<br />
<div>
Fill your home with photos of your family and friends. I love to put my family and friends on display. Every room in our home has photos of me and B... Yes even the bathroom. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This past December I hosted my bunco group for our Christmas bunco game. One of my friends made the comment that she felt like she had been at our wedding because of all of the photos around our home. This is how I want my friends to feel. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Let the light shine</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Open those blinds and let some natural light in. It's very rare for me to be home during the day without having my blinds open and I usually just have natural light in the house during the day until it gets dark. There is just something about the sunshine coming into my home that is like a breath of fresh air.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At night I love to utilize my lamps. Lamps and throw pillows are a particular obsession of mine. My lamps create a warm glow in all the rooms of my home that my overhead lights just can not create. This for my makes my home feel so inviting and lovely. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Decorate seasonally</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This step is not for everyone but if you do enjoy decorating, like I do, then you will really love this. Christmas is the big time of year when every room in our home is dripping with sparkle and bows of holly but for every other season the mantle is what will be on display. Our living room is the center of our home. Quite literally it is in the center of our floor plan. So this is why I love to coordinate my decorations for each season for my mantle. It is the first thing that everyone sees when they come in our front door and the room where we spend most of our time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This also gives my the chance to exercise my creative outlet. The possibilities for creativity are endless. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you do not have a mantle in your home you can decorative a sofa table in your home or even add small seasonal items to end tables. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Declutter</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Buckle down and bring some organization to your space. When I say buckle down I am more talking to myself than to you. Organizing is not my favorite thing to do... depending on the circumstances. Having an organized home however helps the home to run more efficiently and with less stress.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm really bad about getting something out and then absent mindedly laying said item down with the good intention of putting it away later.... fast forward a week and said item is still on the kitchen table or the top of my jewelry chest.<br />
<br />
Challenge yourself to keep your clutter under control. I promise you will feel exceptionally lighter and life in your home will run more smoothly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Have a sanctuary<br />
<br />
Find that special place in your home that calms and relaxes you. For me my escape from the world is my bathtub and my bedroom. Our bedroom is so serene and calming. The grey walls complimented by pale shades of blue are so inviting at the end of the work day. It's the perfect environment for me to wind down at night, read a book, or do my bible study.<br />
<br />
This is the area in my home that I strive to keep decluttered. Keep the sanctuary in your home decluttered and organized so you have this escape in your home. It's so important for me to keep this place free of debris so that I can recharge and maintain my sanity.<br />
<br />
<br />
These are just a few things that I like to practice to help me love our home a little more everyday. Take a tour of my home and see a visual of all 5 tips. <br />

But later you begin to ponder this idea/thought only to realize how completely absurd it is. You completely judge yourself. <br />
<br />
I had one of these thoughts the other day as I was driving to work. It was just another ordinary day. Just the monotonous routine of burning tire rubber with the rest of the commuters. That is until I pulled along side of an 18-wheeler. As I saw the driver behind the wheel I had my crazy random thought.<br />
<br />
How fun would it be to be a truck driver? Yes this was my actual thought. <br />
<br />
A gypsy soul on the run, nothing but open road in front of you, a new place everyday. You've got your very own handle on the CB radio.... breaker breaker good buddy. Burt Reynolds is your mascot and East Bound and Down is your mantra and alma mater. <span style="text-align: center;">All hail The Bandit.</span><br />

Whoa!! Pump your air ride breaks there, Molly.<br />
<br />
This was a legitimate thought y'all. I can not make this stuff up.<br />
<br />
I had put this brief moment of insanity out of my mind until 2 days after. What in the world was I thinking.<br />
<br />
I've obviously never been a trucker but I can only imagine that the lifestyle of such a profession is not as glamorous as what my day dreaming self deemed it to be. <br />
<br />
Dirty truck stop bathrooms, sleeping in a small little cubby hole of a bed in the back of your truck, and I don't even want to think about taking a shower at a truck stop.<br />
<br />
I can only take this moment of insanity to mean that I need a vacation in the worst way. You know this must be true when you fascinate about being a trucker. <br />
<br />
Have any of you ever had bazaar thoughts like mine?<br />

I saw this precious top on one of my favorite little shop's instagram a few weeks ago. So, I graciously screenshot it to B and he was so sweet to surprise me with it as a sweet happy yesterday.</div>

I want all of you to meet my new A.M. best friend. I received this little beauty a few weeks ago and B and I are both loving it so far. A small word of advice check your email when that cute little red dot pops up on your phone. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I apparently chose to ignore that dot. So, when Mr. FedEx himself showed up at my door on Friday to make his delivery at 10:00 AM (keep in mind I'm off on Fridays) I just happened to still be adorning my pajamas, robe, and no bra. I had no clue who was adamantly ringing my doorbell so I bravely hid behind the bar in my kitchen. All of these events led to me trying to track down a random package and fighting with FedEx only to find out that the package would have to be held at one of their stores for me to pickup the following Tuesday. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally the following Tuesday I got to bring home this sweet little brown box.</div>

I received the Keurig 2.0 K200 along with 2 variety packages of coffee and tea and a bottle of cleaning solution. The brewer preheats quickly and brews an amazing cup of coffee. This is my go to favorite friend in the mornings seeing as how I am hardly the brightest ray of sunshine in the morning.<br />

Summertime is one of my favorite things about the south. Lemonade stands in the neighborhood, fried green tomatoes, and the smell of sweet honeysuckle on the breeze. The longer days also give me more time to research and plan mine and B's next travel destination. <br />
<br />
We LOVE to travel and dream about where we will go someday. Last year we took a wonderful trip to St. Louis for our anniversary. Let me tell you... If you are looking for a fun city, full of great atmosphere, yummy food, and tons of FREE stuff to do then plan a trip to St. Louie!<br />

Grant's Farm and the Anheuser-Busch plant were two of our favorite visits and both are free! Grant's farm was once owned by General Grant and his cabin still sits on the grounds. You can tour the grounds and end your visit at a precious petting zoo. The Anheuser-Busch factory was over the top immaculate. Seriously, I think I could've eaten off the floors. We did pay for a tour rather than opting for the free tour. With our tour we were able to see a little more of the plant and got the luxury of being in a smaller group.<br />

Our cardinals tickets were our biggest purchase of the trip and they were a steal! When I tell you I have the worst luck... you better believe me I have THE worst luck. Except for my mom; her luck is probably worst than mine. Probably something genetic I'm sure. Ok, I'm back from chasing rabbits now. We went the day of a Saturday home game to reserve a tour of the stadium. We were crushed when we found out that not only the tours were full for the day but that it was also a sold out game. Worst luck ever right? Well, lucky for me (see what I did there) I married the luckiest, most smooth talking man. Just as we were inquiring about tickets a sweet couple, who had season tickets, were trading their seats to sit in a handicap accessible area. The precious lady tapped me on the shoulder and told me the section number along with the seat numbers. It took a few moments but we did end up with the wonderful seats.<br />

I've just barely scratched the surface of all the fantabulous things that St. Louis has to offer but I will end with the ever so iconic Gateway Arch. This is not a free attraction but it is incredibly reasonable and the view of the city from 630 feet is completely worth the 4 minute trip to the top.<br />
<br />
While you are there you should also check out:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The St. Louis zoo. The zoo is also a free attraction in the city and was wonderful. The parking was expensive but we parked on the street (everyone else was doing it).</li>
<li>The science museum is also a free attraction and a fun place for families</li>
<li>The city Museum. B and I opted not to do this simply because it was so crowded but I really wish we would've made the time to go during the adults only hours.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
I hope y'all get to do some great traveling this summer. I'd love for you too keep up with my ramblings through my blog and social media. <br />
<br />
But first... Let's let B take/show off a few selfies!<br />

This dish is one of my absolute favorite, go to, easy meals. Seriously, in less than 30 minutes you can have a fun dinner that is sure to please even the pickiest eater in your house. Just ask my brother... the man who won't even eat french fries. This is one of his favorites and just happens to be the recipe I chose to give to his new wife at her bridal shower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is what you'll need to get you started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>1 lb. of lean ground beef (I prefer to use venison)</li>
<li>1 jar of pizza sauce</li>
<li>1/2 cup chopped onion (I use frozen... best invention EVER!!)</li>
<li>1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (again frozen.... BAM!)</li>
<li>1/2 pkg. pepperoni (I use turkey pepperoni)</li>
<li>2 cup Mozzarella cheese (I never use all 2 cups)</li>
<li>2 tsp. basil</li>
<li>1tsp. oregano</li>
<li>1 package of hoagie buns</li>
</ul>
<div>
First brown your meat and drain. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, pepperoni, pizza sauce, and seasonings. Let all these ingredients simmer for 10 minutes (low to medium heat).</div>
<div>

While the meat is simmering begin preheating your oven to 375. After your simmering is all done your now ready to spoon that sauce pan full of yummy goodness onto your hoagie buns. Fill each of your hoagies to your portion preference and sprinkle your cheese on top. This is where I definitely choose not to use 2 cups of cheese. It just seems like too much. But if 2 cups of cheese is your thing then totally rock it out. </div>

After adorning your lovely sandwiches with cheese close up you hoagies and wrap each individual sandwich in foil. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 15 minutes.</div>

<br />
These past three years have have been incredible and have seriously flown by in a blink. <br />
<br />
So, here's to the man who tolerates me, knows that I require a lot of attention, and who would do anything to make me happy. <i>Refer to picture at bottom of post.</i><br />
<br />
Thank you, B, for still looking at me the same way you did at our wedding!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Over this month we have been in the middle of a sermon series at church called "Lets Get Healthy". What a great way to start off the month of January. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ok now... let me preface. I in no way made any types of resolutions to workout more, lose weight, or set some ridiculous goal for me to reach. Let's just be honest..... I would be setting my self up for a major failure! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But after this sermon series I was very convicted about many things in my life. Not only about my self physically but also my personal relationship with Christ. This post is going to focus on the physical convictions that I have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Since I started my new jobs nearly 6 months ago I have been doing a very bad job preparing healthy meals for my family. If I'm being truly honest then I would tell you that I have been all around bad about preparing any meals for my family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
and the recipient of the Worst Wife of the Year Award goes to........ ME!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So this week I took the first step and prepared a healthy meal.</div>

You will need:<br />
4 sheets of aluminum foil<br />
4 chicken breast<br />
Basil<br />
2 Garlic cloves<br />
1 Red, yellow, orange bell pepper<br />
1 yellow onion<br />
lite zesty italian dressing<br />
salt and fresh ground pepper<br />
4 tsps of olive oil<br />
<br />
<br />
Prep time takes about 15 minutes. You seriously can't beat that! Before tackling the veggies pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash all veggies thoroughly. Julienne all bell peppers and dice the onion. Set all veggies to the side until your ready to top the chicken.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Place chicken breast on foil square and top each with:<br />
1 tsps of olive oil<br />
season with pinch of salt and pepper (I think I may try sea salt next time)<br />
top with garlic, bell peppers, and onions<br />
sprinkle with basil<br />
top all with italian dressing<br />

After adorning the chicken with all those fabulous veggies.... fold the sides of the foil to create a fun little pouch. Transfer all foil packets to a baking sheet and bake chicken on 375 for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is cooked throughout.<br />

I seriously can not even believe that I just fell off the end of the "blog world". I promise that I really did miss you little blogging space. (I feel like my blog deserves a bigger apology then that). <br />
<br />
So I'm going to have to play some major catch up to explain the reason for my extended vacation. In my defense.... I did have some great posts planned during the past five (missing) months but they just never got from my head and iPhoto to actual words on the screen. It's so sad when that happens!<br />
<br />
On to my list of excuses.<br />
<br />
So around the time of my last post I got a phone call from a dentist, also a friend of my dads, about a hygiene opening at his office. He called and told me to pray about it and get back to him. Isn't God amazing!! I wasn't unhappy with the current job I had but the hour commute, one way let me add, was beginning to wear on me after almost a year. B and I began praying and prayed for weeks. The new job was only 2 days a week so my hours would be cutting from 3 1/2 days to two. We continued to pray. A few days later I receive a call from my dads friend and he has found me another day to work with a friend of his. There was no question that I would be making the transition to the new jobs. Now here's where things get really crazy so hold on. A few days after accepting and interviewing for the new jobs I get a call from a dentist here in Conway offering me a full time (4 day a week) position. I explained to him that I had just accepted three days of work just a few days prior and he still asked me to do a working interview for 1 day a week! My God provides!! So... I am now working for 3 great dentists in three different towns! I am now considered full time, and providing more for my family, and have less of a daily commute! <br />
<br />
So the jobs all wrapped up around mid September and B and I were off to our next adventure.<br />
<br />
Coinciding with the new job story... B and I started working with the youth group at our church. I was already singing in our worship team so I really didn't feel the Lord leading me to become a leader for our youth. B was ALL ABOUT IT!! He does great with that age group and loves it! Me on the other hand.... older kids truly scare me! B talked me into going with him to the first night just to try it out... well we are both now leaders with our fabulous youth group!! Y'all I cannot even explain to you how amazing these young adults are BUT they are AWESOME!!<br />
<br />
In November B and I took our funnest Christmas cards to date!! If we are Facebook friends then you've probably seen at least one of the masterpieces captured that very HOT day! If not then let's remedy that and become Facebook friends!! <br />

This past fall I joined a bunco group!! It's seriously the most fun! B called me an old lady when he heard I had joined but it's great! I play with a group of ladies from church and even hosted our December meeting. It was my first hostessing experience in our home and I'm ashamed to say I forgot to take detailing photos. These ladies are so great!!</div>

Now that we've caught up to December we can talk about the trip to the Caymans!! If you've read in the past you might have come across a few posts where I talk about my brother being in vet school in the Caymans. Well this past month He had his white coat ceremony and is now starting his last year of rotations in Oklahoma. We were so super blessed to be able to go. Christmas time in the Caymans... you must go!</div>

I seriously did not mean to go on a full blown hiatus this month. Sometimes, time away can be a good thing. Time to reflect and focus. Well it would be great if I had used my time for just such things. However, I have been super busy with things such as work, church, and my family. It was much more wisely spent on the later three than reflecting on posts. I do have some fabulous high fives to share though!<br />
<br />
1| While B was gone this past weekend I got a little domestic. I've been searching for the perfect valance for our kitchen. Much due to my pickiness I haven't found one. So what to do? Just make it myself. I also made the cutest window treatment for my laundry room.<br />

2| The work week is over and that should always be celebrated. I've started the celebration here in Arkansas by watching Lonesome Dove and eating kabobs for lunch.<br />
<br />
3| My sweet angle cuddled with me all day Monday. Tippy Tutu loving is and essential everyday. WE love doing memory verses together.<br />

4| So I know that I do not talk about my family a whole lot on this space and it's totally not because I don't love them. It's just a subject that I don't want to constantly highlight (I do not mean this in a bad way). So, for many of you, telling you I have an older brother will be new news. Also, telling you that he is vet school in the Cayman Islands might also be a news flash. Well... in even bigger news! My brother just found out this week that he has been excepted into the Oklahoma State veterinary program to complete his last year of clinicals here in the States. I'm so beyond proud and excited for him!<br />

Happy Wednesday y'all! Today I am sharing one of my favorite summertime treats... lemonade! But this is not just any lemonade; it's <strike>homemade</strike> fauxmade lemonade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

3| So two weeks ago a group of ladies from our church began a women's bible study. We are doing Children of the Day by Beth Moore. Y'all to say that it is super fabulous just does not do it justice. Oh and the study is great too. No but in all honesty it is so refreshing to know that I have a core group of ladies who love me, pray for me, will pray with me, and will build me up and keep me accountable. If you'd like to check out the study go <a href="http://blog.lproof.org/2014/06/siesta-summer-bible-study-2014-gathering-2.html">here</a>. This is a summer siesta study so it's super duper laid back.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">4| Monday afternoon I walk into Hobby Lobby for some picture hanging wire and wood glue. Well, after walking in the door I always make a hard left toward the seasonal section. Today was no different. I came to the one isle with Fourth of July decor on it and was disappointed to learn that apparently I missed this beloved holiday because Fall leaves and pumpkins were adorning more shelves that the red, white, and blue. So I just keep walking past all the pumpkins and spice and behold in front of me like a blessed sign from God are the sweetest words. CLEARANCE 80% OFF!!! WHAT?!! I seriously peed myself a tad when I saw it and squealed out loud. I racked up on some super cheap things I had been eyeing for a while. I did FINALLY remember, through all of my excitement, to get the wire but I did forget the wood glue. Priorities though am I right?</span></span></h3>

Well, this fellow is now lighting up B's man room and is doing it very well I might add. This is another item we've been looking at since last summer but $100 for a table lamp? I'm sorry by Dave Ramsey said no. Well, Dave would probably still say no to $20 but oopsies.<br />

<i>Gooooooood
Morning everybody! I'm so honored that Molly has asked me to post on
Fiddle Dee Dee today. As you, her faithful audience knows, Molly is a
good ole southern girl. In the spirit of her personality, I decided to
write about life as a southerner. Here are 3 signs that you're southern.</i></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<b><u><br /></u></b>1. <i>You paint everything white. With rustic accents. </i></div>

We love finding furniture deals. And it doesn't even matter what
condition the furniture is in because you can allllllways just paint it
white. My mom finds furniture by the curb on her daily walks and isn't
afraid to packmule it back to the house for a fresh coat of white
paint. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
There are different varieties depending on what look you're going for.
The "crackled" white paint is used for items that need to look like
they've perfectly and beautifully aged in a very clean barn where there
are no animals. The kind of white paint we prefer to use is called
"touch up paint." For some reason, Mason thinks we should cover up nail
holes when WE (I can say "we" here because WE are married and there's no
need to point fingers) decide that some things hanging on the wall need
to hang in different places on the wall. You see? White paint is
versatile. Throw in a mason jar (if your husbands name is "Mason" insert
a witty joke here) and you've got a nice living space with a lot of
good ole southern charm. </div>

I'm not sure if this is a strictly Southern thing, but I do know that
when I was in New York the residents did the OPPOSITE of tell me a
story. When I asked someone where the bathroom was, all I got was half
of a head nod... to the bathroom that was 16 blocks away. Thank you for
the clear instructions. When I was in Chile the people were friendly,
but I don't think they really told stories either. Of course, it's hard
to say WHAT they were telling me because I know, I know I have a degree
in Spanish but they speak so dad gum fast.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

In Arkansas, EVERYONE will tell you a story. I was at the Avis rent a
car the other day (not renting a car), and the elderly lady beside me
set to work telling me alllllllll about her family, her husband, how she
forgot to put her teeth back in today, how she wasn't really supposed
to be out of the house. I didn't mind listening- the only problem came
when she couldn't hear my follow up questions. She told me that her
grandson was about to graduate college so I asked what his degree would
be in.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So then I didn't talk anymore. I just let her ramble through her gums.
When she left the Avis guy looked up from the counter and said "Wow, she
was really telling you her story wasn't she? You know- my wife is
pregnant. We're sorta nervous because its our first baby. We just knew
it was a girl but it's a boy...."</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
10 minutes later, it was time to go so I had to cut him off.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Thats how it is in the South. We have something to say and anyone with
ears gets to hear it. Why do you think it takes 3 hours for a southern
woman to get a haircut? She has a lot of talking to do.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

Picture it: the sunset is beautiful. All of your friends and family are
sitting on pretty white chairs. It seems that the bride must have gotten
a very good deal on burlap. And Mason jars. Which are looking pretty in
the sunset too. We're all sitting there smiling. No one is thinking
about the heat. Except that... </div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

Yall. We've got good glands. No amount of speed stick can match the
sweat that comes with an outdoor Summer wedding in the south. And by
"sweat" I mean "glisten profusely." </div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The
hottest I can remember being in my life (outside of any summer camp
experience- have MERCY CAMP. IS. HOT.) was at an outdoor Alabama
wedding in season of "burning furnace" also known as Summer. The chairs
might as well have been stacked vertically, since we were literally
overlapping sweaty arm jiggle with our neighbors. It was around this
time that we started coining shortcut phrases to describe our sweat.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Mason: I have got some serious <i>swack</i>. (sweaty back)</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Me: Ohhh, I've got swack and 2 <i>swarms</i> (sweaty arms)</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Mason:
Well, I feel sorry for the person that has to wipe this seat down
because I have the worst---- well, I can't share this one for the sake
of keeping this post PG, but you get the idea.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
All joking aside, outdoor weddings really are beautiful. And even if I
have to rehydrate through an IV the following morning, they are totally
worth it. The amount of sweat sweated is almost like a meter measuring
fun. If your guests dance the night away, forgetting about their paper
white skin, and sweat out everything they drank that day, you know your
wedding was a success. </div>

Today B and I are officially on our way out of town for our anniversary trip. Praise the Lord!<br>
<br>
So today I am introducing to you and turning the blog over to the super talented, beautiful, soon to be mommy, Leslyn. She is one of my favorite bloggers to read and beyond honest to a fault.<br>
<br>
It's such an honor to have her here today and I hope y'all love her just as much as I do!<br>

Hey y'all!<br>
<br>
My name is Leslyn, and I blog over at <a href="http://leslyni.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Leslyn's Lovely Life! </a> I'm married to my precious husband, DJ (fun fact: He and Molly's husband were pledge brothers in college! So fun!), and we're expecting our first kiddo in just a few weeks! I'm also a proud mama to two sweet little puppies.<br>
<br>

Yes, I realize this is a picture that was going to be used for our Christmas card, and that it's June. But it's the most recent one of our entire little family.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, on to the interesting stuff that I know you care much more about!<br>
<br>
So there are two things that you need to know about me.<br>
<br>
1. I love <a href="http://pinterest.com/leslyn" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.<br>
2. I love to entertain... And my favorite part about entertaining is the part where I get to cook.<br>
<br>
I figured I would put together a fun little menu for what I would make if I were having you over for dinner at my place! :) Just click on the pictures for the link!<br>
<br>
<i>**Note: All of the items listed below have been pregnancy cravings of mine. So the choices that I made for this menu were extremely biased. But I think you'll love them. ;) </i><br>

One of my number one cravings throughout this pregnancy has been fruit. So the side dish, dessert, and drink are all some of my favorite things. Mainly pineapple (if you read my blog at all, you know this about me). Anyhow, I've seen this fruit salad EVERYWHERE on Pinterest, and it's SO GOOD. And I love how colorful it is! </div>

Marriage is one of the most amazing gifts from God and today I'm so blessed to be celebrating my marriage with the most wonderful partner. Happy two year anniversary to my amazing prince. We have been blessed with our very own dysfunctional bliss. God truly knew what he was doing when he brought B into my life. This man is constantly seeking after God, leading our family faithfully, and loving me fully everyday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you can believe it only one month before I met B I had vowed to myself and told my mom that I was done with guys. I remember telling my mom that there was no one for me at the university I attended and I just could not wait to get away from it and on the next thing. Boy, does God have a sense of humor. I wouldn't change any detail in our story though. From <span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><a href="http://www.fiddledeedeeblog.com/2014/04/how-we-met.html">how we met</a></span> to our <a href="http://www.fiddledeedeeblog.com/2012/06/wedding.html">wedding day</a>; it is part of our testimony. </div>

I'm sure all of those blessed with the relationship of a Godly marriage would agree with me when I say that year after year marriage just gets better. I love this man so much more than the day we took our vows. I had no idea that was even possible. B is my "go to". He's "my guy". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We laugh together, share inside (sometimes not so nice) jokes, cuddle on the couch, and still drop it like its hot in the kitchen. He tells me I'm beautiful everyday and loves to listen to me sing in the kitchen. He holds my hand just because he can and still looks at me the same as he did on our wedding day. Every girl deserves to have a man look at her that way. God has so beyond blessed me with an amazing husband. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
B and I will never have it all together, that's for sure, but I wouldn't trade our crazy, busy, functionally dysfunctional life for anything. Our love is truly wonderful.</div>

[ONE]</h3>
We booked a bed and breakfast for our anniversary trip to St. Louis! I'm so stinking excited about this trip and getting to spend some time away with B. Oh and did I mention that our sweet little B and B is actually an entire loft to ourselves? I feel just a little bit fancy. We have exactly four more days until our trip begins, three more days
until our second anniversary, two more work days for B before our trip,
and one more work day for me. So so much to be excited about!<br />
<br />
<h3>
[TWO]</h3>
I bought my very first calligraphy set. I'm super pumped to begin beautifying my penmanship. <br />
<br />
<h3>
[THREE]</h3>
This week B and I started season three of Scandal on Netflix. To say that he and I are obsessed is a minor understatement. It's safe to say at this point that I want to be Olivia Pope.... minus the whole having an affair with the President thing she's got going on.<br />
<br />
<h3>
[FOUR]</h3>
I finally finished a post that I have been running through my head for months. Does that ever happen to y'all? You find a subject, have about 50 versions of it in your head but just can not seem to get it completely together. I finally found some courage this week and made myself sit down and start to type. Check out my<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> <a href="http://www.fiddledeedeeblog.com/2014/06/southern-women.html">southern women </a></span>post.<br />
<br />
<h3>
[FIVE]</h3>
I was so excited this week when I scheduled my very first two guest posts! You will get to meet these two lovely ladies while I am out of town next week. Love my blog friends!<br />

Etiquette is of the upmost importance and manners are practiced until they are but second nature. Emily Post adorns all family book shelves and being a debutante is anything other than archaic. We are the point where sass meets class.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
We are southern women.</h3>
<div>
We know how to make the perfect glass of sweet tea, know that pearls are the perfect accessory to complete any outfit, and can sling a list of twenty adjectives together to describe a single situation. However, we are more than meets the eye.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do not be fooled by a sweet southerners accent. A southern lady will slice your juggler quicker than any Comanche (no offense). Our words are our ammunition. We are not necessarily taught this tactic but, I believe, that it is something that we are born with. We are subtly brazen beings but when you mess with us.... Oh honey, let's just say don't poke the bear, alrighty?</div>
<div>

</div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
Fragile is not a term I would use to describe any southerner. Us gals can sure hold our own. We fight tooth and nail for what we believe in and what's ours. Like a dog with a bone we are relentless.</div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
We all know that the secret to good hair is a good teasing comb, the perfect hairspray, and sheer determination. The higher the hair the closer to God y'all. There ain't nothing wrong with a good bouffant.</div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
We are stubborn to the core. Truly, Heaven help the men who love us. We put them through so much. Loving a southern woman is not for the faint of heart but loving one does mean having the most loyal partner in life. </div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
We can be the best or worst people you will ever meet. When you befriend a southern woman you can guarantee that you have a friend for life. She will be one who will not ask questions when told to pick up a shovel and start digging. </div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="post_media" style="text-align: left;">
We are incredibly complex creatures. Growing up a southern woman means growing up in an elaborately competitive society. This is the perfect atmosphere to create such well rounded women. We can hunt our food, skin it with a golf ball, and serve it up to our families; then turn around and host the ladies from the junior league in our dens. We are chameleons that blend perfectly in our society.</div>

During the summer I love nothing more than to be cool and comfortable. You know... the usual. At the same time I want to look cute and fashionable. Nothing is more fashion forward than a brightly colored crop top, high-waisted shorts and some spunky flats.<br />
<br />
Just add a brightly colored bag and your ready for shopping, vaca, or touristing in style.<br />
<br />
What are some of your favorite running around casual styles?<br />

On July 18, 2010 I woke up completely and utterly exhausted. The night before I had completed my final night of competition in the Miss Arkansas pageant. My feet throbbed, my spray tan was beginning to fade in spots, and I was wearing makeup from the night before. I sound lovely don't I.<br />
<br />
Since both of our families were together (because of the pageant) we decided to visit one of mine and B's favorite "day date" spots in Hot Springs, Garvan Woodland Gardens. Little did I know that this particular visit would change my life. <br />
<br />
Remember how I told you I was exhausted? Well, to say that I was in a piss poor mood is putting it WAY too lightly. I was totally horrible! I was hot, my feet hurt, wah wah wah! I'm truly surprised B did not hightail it out of dodge. He was so sweet though and went ahead with all of his plans despite my disgruntles.<br />
<br />
On the half moon bridge over looking the koi pond B got down on one knee. Commence REAL ugly cry.<br />

We knew we would have a long engagement... thanks to me and my school but it gave us plenty of time to plan, choose the perfect season for engagement photos, and for me to take pictures in my wedding dress in every season and setting (yes I did buy it two years in advance).<br />
<br />
B and I were engaged for nearly two years before we finally said "I do" but having a longer engagement allowed for us to have the most amazing engagement photos with the most amazing photography studio, <a href="http://strainphotography.net/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">Strain Photography</span></a>.<br />
<br />
We chose October of 2012. The leaves were beginning to turn gorgeous colors and mums were in full bloom. We chose to do a casual set, a vintage, and of course razorbacks/golf.<br />

In the vintage photos we used family heirlooms for our props and the dress and hat I am wearing were my grandmother's. The dress is actually the same one that she was married in.<br />

All of our time planning and the special touches made our engagement so much more special and precious. It was such a fun and exciting time in our lives that I truly treasure. FYI... B has not hightailed it yet!</div>

1| Less than one month from now B and I will be celebrating our second anniversary. How is that even possible? It really doesn't seem real. Hopefully I will get to around to writing about our engagement soon. Until then check out how we met (<a href="http://fiddledd-mollykcash.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-we-met.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">here</span></a>)... It's pretty great!<br />
<br />
2| B and I have started a new workout plan and have actually been to the gym three times this week. I know that may not sound like a big deal but around here it surely is and to say my body is feeling every bit of those three workouts is an understatement.<br />
<br />
3| This... enough said!<br />

4| My new glasses and contacts came in this week. Praise the Lord for new contacts! I have been on my last pair since well before deer season opened this last fall. B is not the biggest fan of the new rims but they were just too completely precious to pass up... black rims and turquoise earpieces= must have fab.<br />

5| Monday I found out that a group of ladies will be starting Beth Moore's new siesta summer bible study "Children of the Day". The whole shindig kicks off on June 2nd and I can not wait to see what God does through this study and this amazing group of ladies. If y'all would like to join or would like more information check out Beth's <a href="http://blog.lproof.org/2014/04/siesta-summer-2014-bible-study-anybody-game-for-children-of-the-day.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">blog</span></a>.<br />
