Farm Show 2016

I totally forgot that I didn't post about the Farm Show!! It been crazy busy around here and everyone has been sick, ugh. 

That and I was trying to forget the insanity that the Farm Show was. 

So 2 things first. 

1. I've been going to the Farm Show since I was born, so this is nothing new to me.

And 2. I've lived in 2 large city's for 1/3 off my life so crowds don't bother me. 

Well let me tell you, I have never been around so many rude, pushy people in my life. 

Oh wait! Except when the Phillies won the World Seires and they had the parade in Center City Philly. The Farm Show was in comparison to that. Except the people at the parade were drunk!!! 

I mean, they have great deals on stuff that's maybe otherwise hard to find but seriously, it's awful. 

They did have some cool stuff for the kids. Dylan loved the skeletons. 

I had to wait in line for mozzarella squares for 20 mins. Then go in another line to eat something else. Craziness!! The mozzarella bites were awesome though...... 

Logan and I were mushroom superheroes. 

Luckily the kids loved it but other than that I probably wouldn't go next year.

5 Layer Birthday cake!!

So we have a birthday coming up!!! It's my boyfriend Matt's 35th birthday!! 

Wooopwooooop 🎉🎈

So last night me and Dylan decided to make a birthday cake ( Logan was spending the night at my Moms, so I wanted to do something special with Dylan) but when I opened the fridge I didn't have any eggs. Of course. I don't really eat eggs so I never notice when they are low. Well I guess Matt eats a lot of eggs because we were out. 

Luckily my mom lives around the corner. So we walked over and borrowed some eggs. 

Thanks Mom!

On the walk home Dylan hung out with the gingerbread man.

He was so excited because he walks past him everyday for school but he's always "sleeping". 

Then we went home to make the cake. 

It was just a normal box cake mix but I switched out milk for water. 

So I made 5 thin layers of cake. 

Then put the homemaker cream cheese frosting on each layer. 

 

Cream Cheese Frosting 

8 oz cream cheese 

4 oz butter 

5-6 cups of powered sugar 

1/4 teaspoon vanilla 

Mix room temperature cream cheese and butter together. Beat until smooth then add the vanilla. 

Slowly add the powered sugar till everything is fluffy and sweet enough to your taste. 

The picture looks awful because it was like 9 pm when I finished it. HA. 

But it's super delicious and really easy to make.

Old Faithful

All through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Until I heard "Ewwwww"!!! 

And as I ran into the kids room Dylan was projectile vomiting onto the floor. 

"Seriously" I think as I'm about to throw up on the floor myself. 

Just then my night in shining armor (my amazing boyfriend) runs in and takes care of the situation. 

Dylan puked on Logan so they both needed showered. 

It's 12:30 at night, mind you. 

Changed the sheets and PJs and got them back into bed. Just to have Logan puke on the floor in my room 3 hours later!! 

What is going on?! 

Is this an epidemic? 

Am I next?!!!? 

Luckily we got through the night without anymore casualties, thank goodness. 

So needless to say my house was like Yellowstone and old faithful was going off in a timely fashion...... 

Now for another 10hour day at work. Please, baby Jesus, let me get through this day.

I'm baacck!!!

I know, I know. It's been almost 2 years, y'all probably thought I died. It kinda seems like I did sometimes. But no, I'm alive and well!! Yay!! 

There is a lot to fill you in on but that's for another post. We are going to keep this one short and simple. 

We are over the holiday season! So I have been taking down the decorations in my house. 

A new house, I guess we should get to that. 

I sold the house in New Jersey and moved back to Pennsylvania. My house now is a lot smaller than the last but I like it just the same. It's a fixer upper and I've been doing a lot of fixing. 

But needless to say the boys had a great Christmas and I can finally say that I saw the 'wrench drop' for New Years Eve in my town. 

So it's a new year and I have a ton to post about!! 

I missed you :)

XoxoXoxo

Happy New Year

Well it's January 1st so it is technically a new year. So maybe a quick recap is in order. That and I haven't posted anything in over a month, I'm sorry. 

So 2013, you were alright, not the best, but pretty good. 

I started this blog! Wooohoooo!!!

I also was on HGTV and they renovated my bedroom....

Went and saw some great concerts and hangout with amazing friends.....

I renovated the crap of out of the house and then sold it.....

I also moved from New Jersey back to Pennsylvania.... 

 

So it's now 2014 and I'm not going to say 'I'm going to do this' or I'm going to stop doing that', I'm just going to be happy. Maybe I'll write more blog posts too ;)

I hope you had an eventful year and a Happy New Year everyone!!

Kids Room

After writing about the kids sleeping in my room, I realized that I never even posted the kids room. Crazy!

I already had everything ordered and shipped to the Brooklyn apartment before we even moved into the house. The teepee I bought from Amazon along with the firefly lights. 

The carpet and 'big boy' bed are from Ikea. 

I also got the adorable art work from Etsy. It reminded me of the art in Wes Anderson movies. 

And of course the pin board I made out of sticks. 

It's a total boys room. Full of days of hiding in the tent and jumping on the bed. Ha!

Post Thanksgiving Wrap Up

I can't believe its Monday already! This weekend just flew by. My brain has been a little foggy with all the turkey and wine ;)

And my episode of The High Low Project was on and I didn't even get to see it. I'm kinda glad I didn't because I don't want to see myself look silly on national television. Hahahahaha. But at least I can't post all the pictures I want. I wasn't allowed to post anything until the show aired, and that was difficult. HA. 

So now I can post pictures of EVERYTHING!! Yay! 

Like the amazing carpet they picked out. 

This carpet is huuuge, it's maybe 8x10 feet! 

And how good do my floors look?! I'm glad they dried in time :)

But I think my favorite things in the room are my pictures that they framed. 

They are pictures I took when I lived in Brooklyn and they were on my Instagram! 

I'm not gonna lie, the yellow dresser is pretty amazing!!! 

And here is the bed and canopy. 

 The new headboard is actually packed up because we just sold the house. I know crazy!!! But luckily I can take everything with me.  

I can even put this canopy up somewhere else. It is just curtain rods!! 

The episode was filmed almost 4 months ago so the room have gotten plenty of use. Unfortunately the kids think it's bed now and I can't ever get them out :)

Maybe I should redo their room and then they will go back. Hahaha. 

I also had a great Thanksgiving with my family, I guess that is the whole point to the holiday. 

My Papa was the happiest man in the world I think :)
