Halloween Fun

Every holiday has its own unique traditions. But what I love most about this holiday, Halloween, is being able to dress up and play the role of whatever you like. It is the time of year where you can be something other than your day to day self, get together with loved ones and celebrate the thrill of being spooked. I love watching back to back horror flicks and attending haunted attractions. Not to mention pumpkin carving and taking the kids trick or treating.
Another Halloween has come and gone, with my last celebration of the season being Saturday at the VanMeter's Halloween party. Here is a fun DIY Halloween idea, that I did this year:

Metallic and bling pumpkins




 Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

Train Like a Beast, Look Like a Beauty

        Flashback to my high school years and I was running on average six miles a day, five or six days a week, as well as lifting. Good ole cross-country! To say the least, I haven't really kept up with that regimen. I have been randomly working out or going on little spurts of daily exercise over the years, but never really fully dedicated myself to training. Just recently, one of my best friends and I started working out everyday before the sun even comes up. It was extremely hard to get out of bed that early, especially since I am NOT a morning person at all. But we are now on our third week of working out and it feels so great! I hope I can keep this momentum going and just feel healthier all around.       Sometimes all you need to push yourself that extra mile is the perfect workout song. When I was in cross-country, I remember always listening to fast paced and sometimes even outright angry music to get pumped up before the race. Currently my favorite workout songs are:

DIY Wine Bottles Recycled

Image
     My husband and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. Here is a fun way we came up with a prop for our anniversary photo shoot. First, we picked out 3 different shaped wine bottles, emptied them, pulled off the labels and washed them.   Then, I sprayed the wine bottles with Chalkboard paint from a spray can.     After the wine bottles were left to dry overnight, I used some chalk to spell out "ONE" and then added some fake flowers for decoration.  Voila!       This is the setting where we shot our anniversary photos. My handsome husband :)                                           It was a gorgeous sunset that evening! No filter!     Ready for the photo shoot. <3     Another photo of the beautiful sunset.

Swisher Sweeties in Frankenmuth, MI

Image
     After coming home from a long work weekend, and being curled up on the couch watching TV with my husband and youngest daughter, I realized I haven't been keeping up much with my blog. We have all been extremely busy lately. Thursday morning, I left for my Swisher promotional job and headed to Detroit. The hotel was gorgeous! In the restaurant area they had a live jazz band and extremely tasty food. I enjoyed sitting and listening to them for a couple hours.  The next morning, I headed towards Frankenmuth, MI where the Country Fest would be going on for the next couple of days. The environment was so much fun. Live bands, cowboys and cowgirls for 6/7 hours a day with the other Swisher girls. We had a blast. Saturday, since we didn't have to be at work until 6,  the three of us girls got to explore Frankenmuth a little. Even though it was very chilly out, we wandered around cute shops and restaurants. The Fall season was definitely in the air.    We wo
