Favorite Fridays Topic: Animated Movie!

This Friday's "Favorite Fridays" Topic is:

Favorite Animated Movie

This is hard I am like a little kid when it comes to animated movies especially Disney.

My favorite Animated Movie is........The Lion King

However...due to Simba's dad dying in the movie I have a very difficult time watching this movie. It came out around the same time my dad died and so it sometimes is difficult to watch.

I also love...Finding Nemo..I know another sad movie..But I love the sea turtles!!! This movie is what made me want to swim with sea turtles some day.

My favorite Disney Princess Movie is Beauty and the Beast! I love Belle and her journey with the Beast!

Flip Flop swap!

As Promised I would share my flip flop swap details. The swap was hosted by Kimberly @Kimberly's Korner. Everyone that participated had to find a pair of flip flops between $10 - $15 and mail them to their assigned partner by May 1st. I was partnered with Karen from A bee and his honey. I got her flip flops on Monday and was so excited.

I sent Karen these flip flops:

She sent me these:

They are my FAVORITE COLOR!!! TURQUOISE!!! LOVE THEM!!!

This was so fun and exciting. It made me think of something fun to do with you guys. I am going to call it

Summer Fun Swap!

The dollar limit will be $25. You can use this limit and the answers to the questions and make a fun Summer "basket" for your partner!

How exciting would it be to get a new beach towel and pair of flip flops?

Or your favorite magazine and summer item!

All you have to do if you want to participate is email me with answers to the following questions along with your address.

What is your favorite color?

Weekend Recap!

I had a great weekend, after a busy 2 weeks at school I needed this weekend to go well!

Friday I had an awful day at school. My kids were so wild and ready for school to be out, it was so frustrating.

Thankfully Zach was off on Friday, and we had date night. First we went to dinner at Chilli's. I know nothing fancy. I was feeling like chips and salsa and quesadillas.

Then we went to the mall and Nordstrom rack of course. I got a cute skirt at Nordstrom rack and these few things from New York and Company (I had a $25 gift card from my birthday and everything was 50% off can't beat that)

I got this dressy tank in black, white and a sparkly peach. They were $10 each

I got this jacket vest blazer in Black as shown! It is super cute! Reg $50 got for $25

After shopping we went over to Jared. I asked Zach why and he said do we need a reason to come here. I said no, he said, I think I can afford to buy you a charm. I have a pandora bracelet. This is the new charm I got:

Then we went and played mini golf at Pirate's Cove!

Saturday I went to this thing called Snellville days. It is a local town and they have a major art/festival in the park. I went with my friend Jess. Then I went to Target to get some necessities and went grocery shopping at Kroger. Check out this week's fresh flowers that are on our table.

sorry the picture is so dark. My camera was being weird.

I love hydrangea's!

I still have some Gerber daisies staying alive from 2 weeks ago!

**Having fresh flowers in the house for a month is #58 on my 101 things to do in 1001 days. I am half way done completing this. Just 2 more weeks of flowers in the house. This may be a new habit. Having flowers brightens the kitchen and my house, I love them!!

Sunday Zach had to work all day so it was "To-Do list day"

I went to the gym, then tanning, then to Sams, and Walmart. I also went to the post office to mail my Flip flops. I participated in a flip flop swap through Kimbery's Korner's blog

I will do a post on the flip flops I bought and shipped to my person when I get mine. I am so excited! I love flip flops!

This was so much fun I was thinking of doing a swap. I was thinking either a summer themed one, or a gift card one, or a beach themed..???? What does everyone think about this idea??

After all my running around I came home and cleaned the house, did laundry, got my lesson plans ready for the week and relaxed!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I only have 18 days left of school!!! YAY!!!!!

Getting to know you Sunday!

To play..copy the questions..answer them..post them..then click here and link up..that's it!

The questions..

1. Are you superstitious?

Not really, I am not scared of black cats or the number 13. I am more a believer in my dreams and everything happens for a reason.

2. If you were an animal..what kind would you be?

I think I would want to be a dolphin. They are playful and fun animals that get to live in the beautiful ocean. They also eat fish which I love to eat. However I eat mine cooked..lol

3. You would never catch me wearing.........?

You would never catch me wearing an old school teacher dress apron like thing. They are so embarrassing.

4. If someone posts a VLOG..do you watch it?

Yes! I watched MannLand’s yesterday on 10 random things!

5. Have you ever waxed your girlie/manly parts..or any other part of your body?

Umm well I get my eyebrows done every 3-4 weeks. I would love to get lazer hair on some of my body parts. Wax hurts

6. Are you a spender or a saver?

Both. I try to only spend when necessary. However sometimes I spend more than I should. I like to save and plan out my money for the year when we get things like our tax returns and such.

7. If you were starring in a movie..who would you want to play your leading man/woman?

OOO this is so hard to just pick one. I have so many Male Celebrity crushes. Lets see I would first see if David Beckham would do it. Although he has never acted so I’m not sure there. Then I would ask Channing Tatum, Orlando Bloom or Chad Michael Murray.

8. Smoker..never smoked..social smoker..or smoked back in the day?

Sadly I smoked when I was in High School. I know I was under age. Thankfully I managed to drop the bad habit in college and I am smoke free now and have been for about 8 years!
