I confess: I'm a mess!

Seriously, Who didn't know that already?

 I mean c'mon. If you've been following this blog for a week, or a year.. 

I'm sure you were able to catch on to that!

So many things can change in a blink of an eye. 

Life happens. People change. Feelings change.

&

Two important phrases to live by! 

:)

STS is rockin' my socks!

{insert logo here...}

{wait. I'm STILL waiting on my logo to be done.. ugghhhhhhhh}

But seriously, I LOVE IT! Oh, and my model is amazingly beautiful!!! 

My dream is to be able to do this full time. 

Hoping and Praying!!!

In 2 weeks I get to spend the weekend with my BBFF.

Nikki girl. Hurry up and get your ass here!!!! I am ready for a good time!

Lets get serious for a moment.

I've given something a lot of thought. I mean A LOT.

As I might have mentioned before, This girl is DONE having babies. 

I'm 25 with 2 amazing kids. They are my life. and they are a lot of work. 

A LOT. 

With the decision of being done having babies. I have chose to make a change in my body. A change that having babies has made to my body.

So I headed over to this lovely place earlier this week..

After a very successful consultation. I scheduled my appointment!

August 15th is the day!!!!

Momma is getting nipped, tucked and sucked. ha!

Nothing is being enlarged.. this time. ;)

(and now people start to judge and give their opinions...anndddd go!)

I'm not doing this for anyone but myself. So your opinion isn't necessary. Unless it's encouraging. Then go ahead. Lol Kidding.

But it's happening. And I plan on documenting the entire thing via this blog and I'm even considering doing my very first Vlog throughout the process.

I'm extremely nervous, and I google and youtube the shit out of everything that can go wrong in the surgery and recovery. Whew. Talk about stressful!

But I am just going to think of the outcome & my results. 

I am so excited!!!!

My Pre-Op Appointment is August 6th!

Less than 3 weeks to be so damn nervous!! ahhh!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!! 

Weekend Wrap Up

Blogging again. Look out!
I had a awesome weekend, why not share!

Starting with Thursday. I got a email from The Weingarten saying a vendor had backed out for their event for the evening and asked if Small Town Style would be interested in filling the spot.

I was so not prepared.. thank god for my BFF! she pulled so much out of her ass to get me ready! And it was a HUGE success!!!!!!!!! thank you again Cassie!!!

And Thank you to Amber & Amanda who helped me during the show. I was busy, and would have had to drink a lot more wine during the show if it wasn't for them! :)

Friday we FINALLY got our boat back. 1500 to fit a trailer that the seller said was the best trailer he ever had.

Jackass

But that's another day. Just thankful to have her back!!

Friday evening D and I took the kids to the Millstadt Fireman's picnic.

Sis waited so patiently for her 1st carnival ride!

It was a success. 

Even if we had to keep giving the guy her tickets because she refused to get out of the car.
Sorry to the 40 other people in line. Princess gets what Princess wants!

Landon's BFF Tate joined us for the night! They had so much fun!!!!

Sis doesn't care too much for selfies. stinker! :)

 Saturday morning we headed to the lake with the Odom's!

I knew it was going to be a GREAT DAY when the first thing I seen to put on was my LB shirt.

Boy was this shirt true. Ha!

Seriously. one of the best days I've had in a LOOONGGG TIME!!!

The weather was perfect! The water felt amazing!

The drinks were cold. And awesome company!

 Sunday we headed over to Kendra's moms house for a little relaxing in the pool and Randy to finish up a few things on our boat for us!

Seriously Randy, THANK YOU!!!!!

So lets catch up. My last post I was off to Cancun. 

Don't worry. I made it back alive. Barely.

Swimsuits & Spray Tans

I don't mean to brag.. WAIT, YES I DO!

I will be here TOMORROW!!!

 I am SO EXCITED!! and so nervous. I was up again at 3 this morning thinking of everything I need to add to my suitcase. 

If you follow my IG, you already seen this. but for those that don't, here is a peek at my swimsuit.

I had it custom made on Etsy.com.

I found a swimsuit to cover my fat, and I feel GOOD in it!

Although I thought it was coral and leopard, I LOVE IT!!!

I've learned high waisted swimsuits aren't for everyone. but don't knock it til' you try it. especially if you don't have 2 babies! :)

Mani/Pedi. Check 

Months of tanning. Check

(Even got a spray tan last night to ensure I'm not the palest person in Mexico)

Since we're already talking about tans.. Let's talk about how I talked Dane into getting a spray tan last night.......

Lets just say I'm glad a lot of it washes off in the shower.

Bahahhahahahahaha.

Can't

Stop

Laughing!!!!!

I have 5 coats on my face. He has 2. 

WHY his is face so much darker than mine?!?!!?!? LOLOL

(No we're not naked. I have a tube top on. lol)

He's going to kick my ass for posting this picture!

:)

Hope everyone has a great week! I will play catch up on your blogs next week!

Weekend Wrap Up!

Happy Monday!

Praying these next 2 days FLY by.

Wednesday this momma is leaving for CANCUN!!!!! Whoop! 

Does anyone get as nervous as I do right before a vacation? 

Like, can't sleep, can't eat, STRESSED.OUT!!

Aahhh! And the thought of leaving these two 

makes me not even want to go!!!!

I think I can, I think I can!

Let's wrap up the weekend!

Who doesn't love eating cookies the size of their face.

.

Bread Co. I love you. That's all.

As if our home isn't CRAZY enough as it is... we added this little rat hamster to the chaos.

 

Meet Bubbles.

She's only got out of her cage once so far. 

Landon says it wasn't his fault even though he left her cage open.

Friday night I did a lot little of shopping with my sister Amber. Trying to get all last minute things for our trip. After several hours and several dollars, I think we did pretty good!!!!

Saturday the kids and I went to scope out some yard sales while Dane was off to take a HAAAAAAUGE test.

HE PASSED!!!!!!!!

 but the worries aren't over yet.

Cross your fingers for us.

Saturday night we headed over to the Odom's for a play date. The kids had a blast. 

Adults- 10. Kids- 8. We were almost out numbered. How and when did this happen?

 

Landon thought Faye's house was so cool!!!! 

And the girlies had a good time hanging out!

Just don't bring wings next time. It ruins the party..

Sunday Lay & I headed out to get a few things and spend the morning/afternoon together. We had a fun lunch planned, but she decided a nap was more important.

so we headed home and hung out with dad & Landon for a little bit then it was off to my niece Emma's birthday party at the bowling alley.

Then finished the day off hanging out with the neighbors. aka Landon's new best friend, Tate.

roasting wieners and making s'mores.

All in all, relaxing weekend with our littles!!!

Hope every had a awesome weekend!

Hey there!

Hey guys!

Where have I been? Shit, I don't know!

Staying busy with L&L, Work, ItWorks AND possibly making one of my dreams come true.

more on that another day.

but for now, lets catch up!

If you read my post around NYE about my grandmother being diagnosed with Stage 4 lung and brain cancer..

She lost her battle on March 22.

Cancer is not something my family has ever had to deal with.
and it was by far the hardest thing to witness. I relive the last moments in my head over and over again, and just break down in tears.

Amber. me (Layla) Brandi & Grams

F you Cancer!!!!!!

I've been in such a on going funk.
Like for 2 months. I have so much to be happy about.
Pity Party of 1 right here.
I'm bored with certain things in my life.
wait, I'm a mom. to 2 wild childs.
Of course I'm never bored bored.

Seriously, how big are they?!? Landon will be 4 in less than 2 months, and Layla is 18 months.
and check out her pretties!!! After making the 4th appointment, Dane finally went with me and made me get her ears pierced. and I am SO glad I finally did it!! she looks so adorbs!

Other than my kids growing like a weed, nothing much has changed.
I'm still obsessed with shopping online, monster, and Luke Bryan. You haven't missed much!
Doing a few upgrades around the house. I might post pictures of that later.
After a little heart to heart, shit is gettin' done!
 Boom!

Cancun in a week from tomorrow  = swim suit...
Excuse me while I go vomit.




Stay tuned for making one of my dreams come true. It's gonna happen people!
It's A&A...
 ;)
