Top 2 Tuesday

Dream Houses!!!

1. My first dream house needs to have a porch that I can sit on and watch my kids play with other kids in the neighborhood. A house like Gabby’s on Desperate Housewives.

I love the pillars and the big porch. Even though there is a ton of drama on the show, I would love to have great friends that lived right next door.

I would decorate the inside differently than Gabby. I like the tufted look. I want a tufted headboard and big down comforter.

We need a big comfy couch for us to cuddle on together.




And everything from Crate and Barrel.

2. Since we love the beach and the ocean, we have always dreamed of having a beach house. This one in Kauai would be just fine! “Oceanfront with crashing surf views from almost every room. Dining options are ocean view dining room, a breakfast table and chairs, or large oceanfront lanai. Relax in the oceanfront Jacuzzi or stroll from your bedroom onto private lanais off the bedrooms. Built on a quiet cul de sac, La Ina Hale is very private. Steps from the home is a path which crosses over a stream then continues thru lush vegetation and fruit trees to a beach for swimming and snorkeling.” I would need a fire place and a bbq and I would be all set!



p.s. What do ya wanna write about for Thursday's Tips and Tricks? tv shows you watch, make up you use, or when you find time in your day to blog?

Bananas!

I love The Rachel Zoe project because it gives you a behind the scenes look at where celebrities get their clothes.



For those of you that don’t know, the majority of the time a celebrity is on a red carpet or tv show, their stylist has picked out every inch of their outfit.



Rachel Zoe is a celebrity stylist. She goes to all the fashion shows all over the world and picks dresses for her clients to wear to all the big events. Her and her staff, Taylor and Brad, who are hilarious, pick the dress, the shoes, the bag, the jewelry, and they often discuss hair and make up looks.



The Met Gala was Monday, May 3rd . It was definitely an A list event and a lot of the celebs Rachel styles attended. I love looking through the pics and hearing Rachel’s voice in my head.

SHUTTING IT DOWN!

DIE!

Anyone else feel like Liv didn't take Rachel's advice with this one? Looks like she went with something she already had in her closet.

For the Ga fans. I don't know who her stylist is but this is what she wore during her performance at the Gala.

Happy Mother's Day!

*Mom and me, Aunt and cousins

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of what my mom and I have in common is dance. I got the dance gene from her (I got the freckles from her too). My parents told me when I was little I walked around on my tippy toes so they put me in ballet. I have shared before, that along with dance, I did a lot of other girly hobbies growing up. I did gymnastics, horseback riding, and ice skating. Through all of them, my mom was right there with me. She went with my on my first trail ride. She even had her own pair of ice skates and took lessons.

*My mom and me and my Nana


One thing we don’t have in common is will power. My mom makes crazy New Years Resolutions and actually sticks to them! One year she didn’t buy herself any clothes! Another year she didn’t eat any sweets! Yeah, she amazes me and boggles my mind.






I noticed a change in my relationship with both of my parents when I went away to college. I finally realized that all the advice they were giving me was actually really good. I started calling them on a regular basis asking for their advice on EVERYTHING! I haven’t stopped.





When I met Hubby, I was able to get great relationship advice from my mom. She had been in a relationship for 20 or so years. She knew a lot more than my friends! We both get a kick out of how similar Hubby and Dad are. Seriously people, it is scary. Did anyone see the shake weight skit on SNL recently? Yeah, they both thought that was hilarious!



If someone was to ask me who my best friends are, first is Hubby and next is my mom. Hubby knows EVERYTHING and mom knows pretty much everything. If you had told me 10 years ago I would share things with my mom that I don’t tell my best friends I probably would have told you that you were crazy. But this Mother’s Day in May of 2010 it is 100% true. I couldn’t be more grateful to be my mother’s daughter.

Tips and Tricks Thursday

Topic: These are my favorite tips and tricks for carpet cleaning:

As you can tell from yesterday I should not be giving advice on carpet cleaning.

The only tip I know I learned from our maintenance guy when we moved into our new place. They are super sloppy when they paint and there were a lot of paint drops on our carpet. Yeah they don't put stuff down or anything! He said to use windex to get the paint out and it worked! I would have never thought!

I hope you guys have some tips and tricks or I might use windex on those big spots!

Hubby used Resolve which says on the bottle it is the #1 carpet stain remover to get out a couple tiny stains and now we have these two lovely spots.


Help me!

You don't have to do a whole post if you don't want to. Of course if you want to please feel free.

I'm off to the Padres game!

Who needs professionals when you have Megs7827?

I met my husband when I was a sophomore in college. I didn’t know until I met him that people did their laundry just to keep their basket empty.



I don’t remember doing laundry when I was in high school so I guess my mom did it. I don’t know how she decided what to wash or when she decided to do laundry. I do remember having a huge pile of laundry in my closet. I probably put the pile in a bag and moved it to college with me, because I remember that huge pile being in my closet in college. (My uncle that also blogs I'm sure will comment on his fear of my cloests.) I avoided laundry at all costs. If I had no clean underwear, I went out and bought more. I only did laundry if there was something I owned that I wanted to wear that was dirty. Or I would do like all college students and take bags home and have my mom do it.



I think at first Hubby didn’t notice my pile. Or maybe he thought it was cute and endearing. At some point he felt the need to bring it to my attention that my pile was abnormal. He informed me that it is more normal to have all your clothes clean and hanging.



I have pretty much been converted and do laundry pretty regularly.



We moved about 6 months ago. When the weather started warming up a few months ago I couldn’t find a couple pairs of my favorite sandals. Somehow a familiar pile was starting to form in the closet.



This weekend I decided to tackle the closet. I wanted to get it organized enough to walk into and was hoping to find my missing shoes. Somehow we had collected a lot of towels and I guess I didn't wash some sheets from when our friends came down at spring break. That is what most of the pile was. I also found a box that contained the missing shoes. Someone put it in the closet when we moved and I never unpacked it.

So I am really ashamed to be posting these but here you go.

Before
*The pile. Towels, suit case, etc.

*My shelf for sweaters and under tanks.

*My "dresser". I will not blame my messyness on not having a dresser. But I don't have a dresser. Hubby gave up a drawer but I kept forgetting to get my stuff out of it so...


After
*I no longer have to hide in shame!

*Organized sweaters and tanks.

*My shoes that were lost in a box!
