My Sister and Alphabet Soup Letter of the Day is R

Some of you may have already heard, met or worked with my sister Myra Callan of Twigs & Honey, but what you may not know is that she has just launched her perfume line.  It's made with all natural ingredients, so it's organic.  NO CHEMICALS!  Have you ever wondered why your allergies act up when you or someone near you is wearing perfume or why you get a migraine?  It's probably because of all the chemicals they use (yes even the very spendy stuff uses chemicals).  My sister's new line called Twigscent is comprised of essential oils.  Her first fragrance is named Rumpledcake (perfect segway into today's alphabet post).  Smells delicious and the packaging is insanely cute.  Our mom and I have been helping her get them all into their pretty bottles and pretty boxes.

Now if only Victoria's Secret had a maternity line.  Wowie zowie.  That would be awesome. 

P.S.  We're buying our SLR camera this Friday!  So excited.  It'll be our first.  I'll blog about it then.  We'll be at a wedding and a birthday party on Saturday and my hubby will be dirt bike riding on Sunday, so I will have tons of stuff to take pictures of.  Fun!

P.P.S.  Asos is having another sale going on right now.  15% off dresses.  Check it out!

Beach Belly & A Quick Alphabet Soup Post - The Letter Q

Here's a belly photo from last week.  Sean had the day off so we took off for Seaside.  Our coastal beaches aren't known for their hot weather, but that day was incredibly hot.  The ice cold ocean water felt so good on my feet!  My belly is even bigger this week so I'll have to take lots more photos.

Alphabet Soup - Letter of the Day is P

Thanks for all your comments about the baby clothes.  I have decided to return them to Target and not donate them.  I was thinking that I didn't want to pass the badness onto some unsuspecting individual.  You know?  I'll let you know tomorrow what happens at Target. 

So... we're up to P.  P is for pretty.  P is for pure.  P is for perfect.  P is also for pineapple, which is so yummy and I'm going to eat a bunch after this post.

Alphabet Soup - Letter of the Day is O

O is for oasis.  O is for ocean.  O is for oil spill.  I am deeply saddened by the lack of regulations regarding the EPA and the oil spill that grows by the second.  Did you hear they are talking about months before it's stopped?  I love the ocean.  Sad.  Just sad. 

Well, the color orange is hard for me to wear, but I think it's a very cheery color.  So here are some lovelies to cheer us up.

Alphabet Soup - Letter of the day is N

I had to think about N for a little while, but isn't N so pretty?! 

N is for nice.  N is for naughty.  N is for NOW!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We've been house hunting and let me tell you... it is very time consuming.  Well, I'm pleased to announce we put our first offer down on a house!  Yay!!!  It's really cute, but because it's a short sale, it needs some TLC.  My hubs found another one he loves and wants to put an offer on.  I think we're taking a look at it this weekend.  It's NOT a short sale, so this could be the one!!

P.S.  My little sister and her hubby are coming home tonight from Paris.  I haven't talked to her in weeks!  I'm picking them up at the airport and I'm just super excited.  My sis is one of my best friends and I talk to her just about every single day!  Btw... did I ever mention that my sister is Myra of Twigs & Honey?  If you haven't heard of her, you will.  She has a very successful bridal accessories and adornments shop.  You can see her items EVERYWHERE!  I'm so proud of her!!!

Alphabet Soup - Letter of the day is M - ME

I thought I would combine the letter M post with my facts about me, since well... I just couldn't have worked it out better.  But I would like to mix it up a little bit.  I think people try to almost always post about all the wonderful things they like but come on...

WE ARE ONLY HUMAN.

I have pet peeves.  Can you believe it?  Yes ma'am, I sure do.  So here's a list of some pet peeves of mine.  And just so it's not all negative and what not, I've also listed some things I love.

I DON'T REALLY LIKE :

1. Trying to get on the freeway and the driver doesn't let me in. 

2. People trying to cut in front of me in line.  Hello?!

3. Talking on the phone and that person starts talking to someone else. 
Hi, yeah it's me and I'm still here!

4. Junk mail and junk email.

5. The neighbor's cat sitting on my back porch screaming and screaming for no good reason.

I REALLY LOVE :

1. That my husband gives me a hug and kiss every time he gets home from work. 

2. Warm summer nights.  It's like winning the lottery.

3. When someone else cooks a delicious dinner and cleans the dishes.  (i.e. mother, mother-in-law, restaurant)  It's such a nice break sometimes!!

4. Being a wife.

5. Winning giveaways...

And speaking of winning giveaways...

Thanks to Erika at Cafe Fashionista, I just received my giveaway prizes. 

THREE Meg Cabot novels and a $50 gift certificate to Urban Outfitters!!!
