Help Enact Caylee's Law

Have y'all heard about the petition going on at Change.org?

This is what it entails:

There needs to be a new federal law created called "Caylee's Law" that will make it a federal offense for a parent or guardian to not notify law enforcement of a child going missing in a timely manner.

Sign the petitions by clicking here http://www.change.org/petitions/create-caylees-law
 
If they receive enough signatures it will go before Congress...as of right now there are over 170,000 signatures...

4th of July Lake Time

We will be on Lake-Time this weekend with our Families and friends...My husband's family is fortunate enough to have a huge lake that has been on their families property for as long as they can date it back, and a couple of years ago my father-in-law built a beautiful lake house up on the hill overlooking the lake, boathouse, and the hilarious concrete dock (Side note - we are in the concrete business, so this totally makes sense to our family!).

My father-in-law, Phil, has a bday on July 3rd, so the whole weekend is a big celebration of his birthday and our Nation's independence...Hence lots of eating, drinking, merriment, fishing, and of course fireworks off of the dock. :)  Our last fireworks extravaganza didn't go so well and one shot off into the woods and almost caught on fire, not funny at the time, but really funny now remembering all of us running like crazy to get away from the smoke and sparks!  

I feel so blessed that my family and Philip's family gets together and has such a great time like we always do a couple of times a year...We are so blessed. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend!

Weekend Inspirational Verse

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

Weekend Whereabouts...

We are shaping up to have a busy weekend...

I have GOT to get our house cleaned today...but so far the morning has started off with giving Porter-Pug his bath...which he HATES, but is a necessary evil, #1 because he starts to smell funky after a few days, and #2, because he is allergic to everything, including fleas, and well we just can't have that!  So needless to say he wasn't smiling and happy like the cute painting below...he was furious and giving me loathing looks from the bathtub...He is now pouting in the office and pushing pillows and throws off of the sofa...

Tomorrow we are going to the Mr.'s cousin's lawn and garden shower...we are both in the wedding and can't wait...it will probably be the last one in either of our families for quite some time...

We are looking forward to celebrating D. and G. and seeing friends we haven't seen in a while...

Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!

Happy Thursday!

Happy First Days of Summer!

Today is the first day of summer and it just so happens to also be "National Wear you Lilly Pulitzer Day!".  Will you be wearing Lilly today? 

Have a fabulous Tuesday and try and stay cool....This Georgia heat and humidity has been almost unbearable lately!

Gelac Obsession

I have always been a HUGE fan of Mani's and pedis...I'm not strict about favorite colors, etc., but mix it up a lot...I had gotten into doing my nails myself a lot because #1, it's cheap on the wallet, and #2, nobody was doing a good enough job in my opinion...

Until I went to Gray to visit my husband's family and decided a nice Saturday manicure sounded like a great idea and that my nails were looking kind of skantified and chipped...So off I went...and discovered Gelac!  It is beyond fabulous...It's like gel nails, but in a polish form just painted over your real nails...

It comes in a ton of different colors and is so pretty for about 2-3 weeks...that is if it's administered correctly.  When I got back to Columbus, I decided to try a place that shall remain unnamed in Phenix City near a certain grocery store.  They also do Gelac (but incorrectly!)...I got mine done on a Friday, and my the next Tuesday, they had already peeled off.  This was not the case the first time they were done correctly (they last 3 weeks and still looked fab!)...It just irks me when people do sub par work and charge the same price...Nobody likes to feel ripped off, right? 

Just a little rant...but also wanted to share such a fabulous product...awesome polish/gel!!! :)
