Weekend Wind-Down Party #11

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I don’t know about you, but for some strange reason this week seemed to fly by!  Today is the first full day of Spring and hopefully it will stick around just as long as ‘ole Man Winter did!  

Welcome to this week’s Weekend Wind-Down Party, I am looking forward to finding some great light recipes to help jump start my “Spring Shedding of the Winter Weight Season” – lol!

The Liebster Award | Thankful Thursday

Hello Friends, Happy Thankful Thursday AND

1st day of spring

Last month I was recognized by fellow blogger Me and My Mini Me and nominated for a Liebster Award.  This award is a way for other bloggers to say, “Hey, I like your blog” and for that I am thankful.

Bloggers Recognition

According to the rules of acceptance, I must link back to the blogger who nominated me, answer 11 questions, nominate 11 other bloggers and then ask them 11 different questions.  So without further adieu, here are the answers to my questions:

  1. What inspired your blog? Why do you blog? – After the death of my grandmother, I needed an outlet to showcase my shopping deals and neither Facebook nor Twitter seemed the appropriate venue.  I enjoy sharing and reading about other’s personal and positive lives.

  2. If you found a genie in a bottle and he could grant you three wishes, what would you wish for? – A clean bill of health for my husband, a wonderful life for my sons and all my debts to be paid in full.

  3. Favorite song. – Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers

  4. Describe yourself in 5 words. – Positive, fun, hardworking, dedicated and friendly

  5. What would a “Me Day” look like for you? – Mani/Pedi, Super Spa and Dinner ocean side

  6. What’s your favorite show on TV? – Deion’s Family Playbook

  7. Favorite era and why? – 60’s, life is always good when you are a kid

  8. If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be? – Oprah Winfrey
  9. What’s your guilty pleasure? – Talenti Gelato – Caribbean Coconut

  10. What three things can’t you live without? – Family, Faith and Internet access

  11. What’s something no one knows about you? – Wouldn’t you like to know…

My nominees in no particular order are, and I hope you take a some time to check them out:

  1. My Kurves

  2. So What To Twenty!

  3. Whitney Nic James

  4. Pride in Photos

  5. Calm Healthy Sexy

  6. Mega Worth It

  7. Images by Dashfield

  8. Sandpaper Kisses

  9. Cindy Knoke

  10. Garay Treasures’s Blog

  11. Living in Mommywood

Now, these are my questions to each of you:

  1. If you could re-live one event in your life, what would it be and why?

  2. Cake or Cookies?

  3. Snow in the mountains or Sun on the beach?

  4. Your favorite movie?

  5. If you hit the lottery what would be your first purchase?

  6. Favorite quiet time activity?

  7. Favorite time of the day and why?

  8. What do you want your legacy to be?

  9. Flowers or Plants?

  10. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall?

  11. Dream retirement location?

You all are a special part of of my life, and for that I will always be thankful!

Thank you Me And My Mini Me for the nomination!

Stay Blessed – No Stress in 2014!

 


Weekend Wind-Down Party #10

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay

This has been a week of highs and lows and I am not even going to talk about the zany weather.  Life is so very fragile, I am asking each of you to tightly hug and tell someone that you love them tonight before the clock strikes midnight!  I also want to say, “thank you” for being part of my life, I will probably need to borrow some of your strength as time goes on…but we’ll talk about that later, in the meantime. please say an extra prayer for the “Blake Family”.

Can you believe that this is the 10th Weekend Wind-Down Party?  It has been so much fun, reading, sharing and laughing at all the wonderful posts each week.

BTW – this is the last weekend to enter to win the $50 Gift Certificate to Midnight Velvet!

Weekend Wind-Down Party #8

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Can you believe this is the last Friday in February?  It’s sad to see time flying but I don’t think any of us will miss the snowy season and with only 21 days until Spring, we can all  “GOODBYE FEBRUARY!”.

As you read this I’m at the Sheraton Hotel participating in this year’s 2014 Goodwill Runway Show.  This is my first time working as a Stylist and am truly over-the-top excited!  Fellow blogger and friend, Whitney Nic James is covering the event so look forward to reading all about it next week.

Weekend Wind-Down Party #6

Hello Friends & Welcome to the Weekend Wind-Down Party #6

valentines day card 2013

Hopefully you are not in a sugar coma from eating too many sweets but are home relaxing or preparing for a fun-filled maybe sun-filled weekend.  Truth be told, I am not a big proponent of Valentine’s Day.  The thriftinista in me knows that tomorrow all the candy at Walgreens will be 50% off – 2 boxes for the price of 1!

Anywho, let’s get this party started with this week’s featured posts. Please feel free to copy and paste the button onto your blog page as it will also be featured on our Pinterest Page.
