I'm a Jess LC ambassador!

If you haven't checked out Jess at Make Under My Life your missing out. Go there right now! (Ok not right now but when your done reading this post) Jess is such an amazing woman has such a wonderful site. She is so inspiring and believes on living life with intention and have your life be about having less stuff. I think its an incredible idea and I've totally embraced and I am working on living my life the same way.

Not only is Jess an amazing person but she is also a very talent Jewellery designer. Her company is called JessLC and she makes the post beautiful Jewellery. I want everything! (Hello Christmas list) My favorite is the Franklin Collection because it features necklaces with inspiring words on them. But WAIT it gets better on the other side of the necklace it has the word but in braille (for those of you who don't its the language blind people use to read) How COOL is that!! I have a few friends who are blind and I think it is so awesome that she made them accessible to everyone.

So I have become a JessLC ambassador! What does that mean? It means that I am lover of her Jewellery and I want everyone to know about it. thats why you'll see this lovely button on my blog from now on



I wanted to be an ambassador because I really feel like Jess's positive attitude and outlook on life is part of her jewelry because it comes from her heart. so who would want to wear beautiful jewelry with positive energy

hopefully I'll have a give away for you guys soon!!!! Come back later for the blogger challenge day 10!

Blog Challenge day 3-7

Ok guys this is going to be a long one I hope you'll stick with me...

Day 3- Your first Love

Let me introduce to you my first love...


My baby girl Miss Chelsea!!! I beg for a dog for as long as I remember. Growing up I made lists of boy and girl names I would name my dog and ways I would take care of them and anything dog related I could think of. Finally when I was 11 my parents said ok and let me get a dog. I still remember it like yesterday...as soon as I saw her I wanted to hold her. I fell in love instantly. Then this other family started petting her and started talking about getting her. My eyes immediately welled up at the idea of them taking my blog. I cried to my mom and dad and promised i would do anything to have her. With a bit of convincing they said ok.

I was on cloud nine!! the next day we went to go get her as soon as the store opened. I was proud of my little furball. She licked my face the whole way home and I spent every minute of my summer with her. She was the first thing I talked about when I went to school. Once I was back in school and was home she grew closer to my dad because he was home everyday with her..he's daddy and she loves him more than anyone!! But we still love each other!! I call my prettier sister and I love getting kisses from her. I love her so much

Day 4- your parents.

I have been so blessed with amazing and wonderful parents. I can not tell you how many people tell me how great my parents are all the time.


from my sweet 16 ..excuse my pre braces teeth

Meet Mom : Dancing with stars and tlc lover, wine connoisseur, loves to dress up, is a speed shopper, loves to cook hates dying her hair and puts it off as long as she can. My mom is such an amazing woman. She has always done everything to make sure I have the best possible. She supports me constantly and has always been by my side. Growing up my mom was my best advocate and she always fought to make sure I got the same things everyone else did. She always made sure my walker didn't get in the way and she always made sure I knew I could do everything I wanted. everyday she shows me such love and would do anything for me. She is amazingly kind and would you the shirt off her back. She is the strongest lady I know! I've seen her walk through some pretty tough stuff and she always comes out on the other side. Everything about her amazes me. I don't know what I'd do without her. i love her so much and i love the time we spend together


this is him trying to be ganster haha!

Meet Daddy: funny guy,superman, lover of all things irish, guiness drinker, lover of comedy,hgtv,food network, likes action movies,outdoorsman, storyteller and fur baby daddy
I love this guy so much. He is one of my best friends. He makes me laugh all the time and I enjoy spending time with him. He is such a good person and such a strong man. He injured his back at work a few years and now suffers from chronic pain constantly. this man never complains. he is thoughtful and hardworking and just a big teddy bear. he could not tell a lie to save his life. one of my favorite things to do is listen to him tell a story...hes got so many and there awesome. even though he worked night shift when I was younger he still gave all his time to me and came on all my field trips. all my friends love him hes just an all around amazing guy.

I wouldn't be who I am or where I am today without these to wonderful people

Day 5- your siblings

I am an only child but my best friend is like a brother to me.



I have no him since I was three. we were in the same hospital room as kids when we had our surgeries two weeks apart. We then went to school together for preschool to grade 3 and then we went to college together for 2 years. and the rest is history. We've fought, made fun of each other, laughed together, been through the ups and downs of life together. Sometimes he really gets on my nerves haha but im so glad to have him in my life. I could not imagine what it would be like without him. He reminds me not to take myself to serious, his always there when I need him and he always know how to make me laugh.

Day 6- A picture of something that makes you happy

Auntie M & Uncle A I just love these two to bits

Behind The blog

Nothin but a T-Shirt On came from a line in Jessica Simpson's song With you. Everytime I hear that song it puts me in a good mood. "With Nothin but a tshirt on I never felt so beautiful" I love this line from the song because I love the idea of just being care free with just a tshirt on and barefeet. Nothin but a tshirt on to me is a way to live your life happy and care free and always feeling beautiful no matter. Life is all about finding joy in the simple things in life and thats how I want try and live my life. I'm not quite there but hopefully i will get there!

thanksgiving weekend and some thoughts

How is everyone doing? I gotta start off by saying what the H-E- double hockey sticks is going on in Hollywood right now? I turned on Access Hollywood to find out Christina Aguilera and her Hubby are splitting up!!! What?!? I always thought they were such a cute couple and seem so genuine and in love. Sad for them:( seems like everyone in hollywood is breakin up...must be something in the water.


Does anyone watch Dancing with the Stars? I am so glad the situation got voted off. Thank goodness and good riddens. I am probably alone on this one but I can not bare to watch Jersey Shore and I refuse to even turn it on!! To you Mr. Situation I would like to say PLEASE PUT YOUR SITUATION AWAY...ALONG WITH YOU DANCING SHOES. Did anyone see Mrs. Brady's rated R dancing that included full on Gyrating. I felt the urge to look away but good for her for keepin things spicy at 75. Does anyone else think Bristol Palin and Mark are a couple? He seems to be really into her..or is it just me?

Now that I got that off my mind I thought I'd share with you my thanksgiving weekend. Our tradition for the past couple years has been to go to my auntie M and uncle A's for dinner and we sleepover!! They are my great aunt and uncle and I could not love them more if I tried. I love every minute I spend with them. My uncle is a young 94 and hes soooo funny. Although he is not in tip top shape his mind is sharp as a tack. He's witty, funny and smart. (and he still has the hots for my aunt and keeps notice of the ladies around him haha) He's diabetic and loves dessert. He always tries to get me to sneak him and extra piece of cake cause Auntie M might say no. I CAN'T say NO. He's 95 who I am to say no ..hes not a child so it makes me feel but i give him very small piece and tell my aunt afterwards. They are still so loving and get along so well. I hope to find what they have someday. They've been married for 55 years. My aunt is sooo amazing too. Shes 84 and in such great shape. you would maybe give her 70. She takes care of him, she drives and they go out alot together. She made a wonderful turkey dinner with all the fixins. I got to spend time with my baby cousin who is 5. He is so cute. I never met him before and now I just love him we had a ball. Also got to chat with other cousin so that was nice. Love catching up with the fam.

The next day Chelsea my dog went outside and got all these burs stuck in her and one close to her eye. the poor thing. She went and got shaved and the vet today and she looks so cute I'll post pictures tomorrow:)

Exciting news!! the new layout should be up tomorrow or by thursday the latest

What did you do this weekend?

favorite celebs - blogger challege day 6

Hi Y'all Happy hump day!!!

So today's blogger challenge is 5 people who mean alot to me. To spice things up a bit because I think I been getting kind of boring and repetitive I'm going to do my 5 five favorite celebrities.

1. Jessica Simpson. I have loved her ever since her days on Newlywed days. I think she has a great heart and her bubbly and honest personality is totally endearing.


2. Carrie Underwood. A) I think shes totally beautiful (girl crush haha) b) I love how down to earth and normal she is and c) I just think her and her hubby are so cute and shes glowed ever since they met. Its nice.


3. Hilary Duff. Get ready to laugh! For the majority of my teenagers I wanted to be Hilary Duff or more so in my younger years Lizzie McGuire. I've always thought she seemed like someone you could totally be friends with and have good time. I like that she stayed normal and I think its great all the charity work she does.


4.Sophia Bush I heart this girl! She seems so kind and giving. She does so much for charity and does whatever she can to use her celebrity to help the world. She loves animals like I do and has a bunch of rescues. I think shes really smart and has a good head on her shoulders. She also handled her split with Chad quite graceful I'd say


5. Nicole Richie. Love her style and think shes a total hoot. I think it great how she got her life back together and is doing so well. She seems to be super hard working and a great mom. if i had more money i would own her whole winter kate line lol


Runners up: Bethenny Frankel, Reese Witherspoon.

Who are you favorites?
