Lets talk about hair baby

You like the title? Doesn't it remind you of the Salt n Peppa songs? Quick story my bestie LB and I would always jam to Salt and Peppa one time we were suppose to be going to a college day. Well we technically went but just never got out and walked around campus instead we drove around, jammed to music, went shopping, and went out to eat.

Okay moving along, I thought I would share my hair products that I use on the daily. I've found that by using these products my hair feels and looks so much healthier. My hair has taken a growth spurt and since I color it I want to protect my hair the best I can.

Weekend Wrap up

So I am a day late doing the weekend wrap up but hey better late than never right? Friday night we went and ate pizza at this place called Andolini's Pizza. I was looking online trying to find a good pizza place. Our family loves us some pizza. So when I saw the pictures of what the pizza's looked like I thought we hit gold, just kidding the pizza was nothing short than a huge plate of grease. Needless to say we will not be going back!  I ended up getting a migraine while eating our pizza so once we were done and home I was pretty much spent and didn't move from the bed.

Saturday was such a cold and raining day! Part of me was glad I could bundle up but then I also love my hot weather. One of the blogs I follow The Roaring Twenties told me of this pumpkin patch called Carmichaels. I knew we HAD to go, I am so glad we did. We all had a great time. They had so many pumpkins to choose from, they had a small hay maze for the kids, they had another little maze that was closed in, farm animals that you could feed, pony and camel rides, hayrides, and they had a concession where you could go in and warm up, get snacks, and some decorations. We will definately be going back next year!

I'm not sure what is going with the first picture of Brayden climbing on the pumpkins. I've tried to adjust the color but it was just not working for me. 


If you follow me on instagram (linsw00) or fb I got a ton of comments on my hair. I guess I am the one always behind the camera taking the pictures that nobody really sees what I do look like. If you guys are interested on what I use and what not on my hair let me know, I might just do a whole post on it! I am so so picky about my hair! :)

Sunday Brayden went with me to the grocery and since it is getting colder here in Oklahoma we needed some long sleeve shirts for him and Gannon. Brayden is the best little shopper with manners. Everytime he got into someones way he would always say excuse me or sorry. I hope he keeps his manners up always!


Don't forget to enter my giveaway! I am so excited about it since it is my FIRST one! :)

Ramblings


  • We have offically been in Oklahoma for one week! I can say that I absoultly LOVE it here. I love the location where we live, I love the people, I LOVE Brayden's school. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it! 


  • Thank you for praying for my friends son. He came through surgery very well. They ended up draining 8ml of fluid off of his cyst. 


  • Some sad news...we got a txt from Grandpa (Todd's dad) yesterday and he told us that Issac (one of their Golden Retrivers) passed away suddenly. They were on a walk and Issac acted like he didn't want to go any further which is not normal for him, they got home went to the vet and got blood work done. They got home he went outside then once in they went to check him about 30 minutes later and he had passed. They are thinking it was a stroke. He was a gentle giant that was so beautiful. On his mane he had some curl it was the medium blonde color. He was so gentle and protective of our kids when we would go over there. He was 9.5 years old. 


  • We are almost totally unpacked. The only thing we really have left to do is to hang up our pictures. In our TX house I didn't want to bother hanging anything, here I want to hang stuff and make it feel more like home. I am going to have Todd finish hanging up the wall decor. One of my items I have an old farm window pane I think there are six panes that I had my friend Jodi she scuffed it and painted it black. I am going to get some pictures printed and get that hung finally! I've got the perfect spot for it. 


  • This weekend the plans are to go find a pumpkin patch, decorate for Fall/Halloween, and we plan on hitting up the Tulsa State Fair.


  •  For my Indiana friends I think we are coming (the kids and I) in two weekends! :) You better pencil me in because it has been almost five months since I have seen y'all and you bet we are haning out! :) See that LB!!! 


  •  I made a Halloween funfetti cake tonight, I was going to save it for something for Brayd and I to do this weekend together but he really wanted it tonight. I caved, he has had a fantastic two days at school and I can't say no to his baby blues. I did get some pretty good kisses for making it. I posted pictures on instagram if you don't follow me you should! :) @linsw00


  • You better come back on Monday I am hosting my first ever giveaway! There are some really awesome prizes in the giveaway! 


  •  I am excited that I am past the 50 followers. That makes me really excited and happy that people are interested in my ramblings on my little piece of the internet. I love all the comments I get too! :) 


  •  I hope you all have a great weekend. Sorry for the bullets but I had a bit of rambling to do for today! :)

Pizza Cupcakes

Before I get into showing you my newest recipe from Pinterest I wanted to ask if you all would pray for my friend. I've spoke before of Peyton on here but today little Peyton is going in for another brain surgery. There is a cyst that is connected to the tumor and the doctor needs to go in there and drain the cyst. Please pray for steady hands of the doctor and that Peyton will come out of this surgery strong! :)



My newest recipe is called Pizza Cupcakes. I found it on Pinterest one day and this family loves pizza so it was a no brainer I was going to try it. The night I was going to make it our oldest kept asking if we could order pizza. I finally made a deal with him telling him if I totally screwed the recipe up then we would order pizza. Needless to say he ended up eating three of these little cupcakes.


Ingredients
Pizza dough from refigrator section-I used the Pillsbury kind
Pizza Sauce
Cheese
Toppings-I used pepperoni


Spray pan and spread dough in cupcake pan

Spoon sauce into the cucpake dough

Add the amount of cheese you want

Add your topping you would like

Bake according to the dough package. I think mine said 400 degrees for about 10 mins.


ENJOY! :)

OHP

Can you believe it is Wednesday already! I feel like this week is flying. I am a little sleep deprived at the moment. For some strange reason our two year old has been fighting us when we put him to bed at night. He will sleep for a couple of hours then like clock work he is up at 12:30 and it is a fight to get him back down. He has been going back down at 3AM. This means this momma isn't getting much sleep at all!

I am really liking linking up on Wednesdays with The Vintage Apple for OHP! I hope you enjoy this weeks pins. Tomorrow I have a fantastic recipe for ya so make sure you come back! One last thing don't forget to check out my post here about Bright Lily!
