Southern Mama of Two

Linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday. This is how yesterday was for me, and this is how my week days usually go. My alarm goes off and I hit the snooze twice usually lol. I let the girls sleep while I get ready for work. I sit their clothes, school bags, and anything else we need to take with us out the night before. 6:00- I start making our lunches. 6:20- Time to wake the girls up and get them dressed for school/daycare. 6:40- We head out the door to begin our hour commute to school. 7:45- I get to work to start my day!! :) 11:30-Lunch time! My favorite second favorite part of the day. 5:00-Quitting time, my favorite part of the day! Time to pick the girls up and start our hour drive back home. We stopped for sno cones yesterday. First ones of the year yay! That means summer is almost here :) Ryleigh had banana w/cream and I had birthday cake w/cream (not on my diet but oh well) 6:00-supper time! yesterday we had hamburger steak, mash pot...

Happy Monday morning to everyone! I'm not usually a morning or a Monday person, but today has started off different. I love this quote right here! I know God is working in my life, I can feel him all around me. I  know he is going to do amazing things for me as well for others this week! I had a great weekend with my girls and my mom. Friday night we all went out to eat at the family fish house, which my family owns. I ate lemon pepper grilled catfish with grilled peppers, potatoes, and onions on top. It was AH-MAZING! After supper we ran to wal mart to pick up a few things and rented Sisters. Ryleigh wanted to stop by my aunt's house for a few minutes, which turned into us being there over an hour. My aunt was watching Dear John, which I was automatically consumed in. I'm sorry but I cannot turn away from Channing Tatum. So needless to say once I made it home we all crashed. Saturday morning I had to leave early to direct a pageant. Ryleigh and BK went to a Shopkin...

Today I am linking up with Erika, Narci, and Andrea to bring you my Friday Favorites. (1) Snap chat My girls have too much fun with the filters as you can see. When the dog face kept popping up BK would try to grab the tongue ha! Ryleigh kept saying " your under arrest for being cute." (2) T-shirt dress + tassel necklace I did a little shopping at our local Wal-Mart while I was on my lunch break. I know that Wal-Mart isn't "high end apparel" but come on guys, I'm a single mama raising two girls! I have to shop cheap, but that doesn't mean I don't dress nice. I found this cute t-shirt dress for only $10. I am wearing an XL, but I prefer my clothing lose on me. I paired it with this super cute tassel necklace for only $5. New outfit for $15--SCORE!! (3) Coffee Let's face it, this is the closest thing to a real starbucks coffee that I'm going to get. The closest one is over 100 miles away. However, we do ha...

I am going to try my first link up and it is about confessions! I am linking up with Jess. confession time... (1) I have no idea what I'm doing as far as blogging goes. This is something I am very interested in, but it is all new to me. (2) I have been trying to diet and lose weight but I cannot seem to stay away from food that isn't good for me. sweets, pasta, bread... (3) I have been sick this week and frankly I haven't felt like doing ANYTHING. I have been getting stuff done at work but when I get home in the evenings all I want to do is get in my recliner and watch Netflix while the girls run around destroying the house. ( I know I will regret that later) That is about all I can think of to confess for the week :)

Well guys I have finally decided to join the blogging world. #1 I love reading/looking at other blogs, it gives me a sense of peace to see other peoples lives and happiness. #2 Writing gives me peace. I have always enjoyed writing, and it has allowed me to express myself that I sometimes cannot vocally do. I will go ahead and tell ya’ll a little about my life and I’m not going to sugar coat anything so here goes. I am 27 born and raised in Mississippi. I love Mississippi and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! I work in insurance, and I love doing that as my main job! I also run a pageant system with one of my best friends! Yes, you heard that right I am a pageant director from Mississippi, I can already see the wheels turning in your head. I don’t normally host glitz pageants, I usually host natural pageants for girls that are just starting out or want to get out of the shy stage. I feel like pageants help girls grow if done the right way. Both of my girls have been in pagean...
