It's been way too long!
My nieces and nephew are all growing up so fast and I miss them dearly as I never see them enough. I hope that I can always be someone they can turn to.
A lot of decisions to be made this year and hopefully some new and exciting things in store for us. I hope everyone else is having a good start to the year!

God's Timing
Doug and I had a wonderful summer. We didn't do anything super exciting just spent a lot of time at the beach, reading and relaxing. Our time there is always so short. We really have enjoyed the blessings God has given us and the opportunities he has provided. I know I've said it a million times but I'm so thankful for my husband- God definitely knew what he was doing when he brought me Doug.
Okay so back to God's timing. I've struggled over the last several years with the fact that we haven't been able to have children. And earlier this summer God placed a special person in my life that has really helped me truly appreciate the blessings I have and helped my heart heal by sharing her love and friendship. God really does know what he's doing!
Back in September I was also able to go visit my family and celebrate 7 birthdays! Yes 7! There are 10 people in my immediate family on my side and 7 of them have birthdays in Sept-Nov. So my whole family went to the Pumpkin Patch to enjoy a fun day of corn mazes, pig races and hayrides. Then we celebrated the birthdays- Mom, Salou, Dad, Jason, Kade, Amanda Lee and Bintou. Whew...took us forever to get through the gifts :) So glad to spend time with family!
Can you tell they enjoyed picking out their Pumpkins?

My new love...LUSH!
So let me tell you about my first experience with the Bath Bombs- I tried the Twilight Bath Bomb on my birthday. Now let me tell you I normally only last 5-10 minutes in a bath, it's simply not my thing. Well I ran a bath, got my book ready and a bath pillow and got in and dropped the Twilight-Bath Bomb in the tub. It instantly smelled amazing and turned my water a rose color and made my skin feel like silk. I felt so pampered, so relaxed and so LUSH! So I was in the bath for almost an hour- that's right you heard me an hour! It was that AMAZING! I smelled like a flower and felt so soft when I got out. I found myself trying to figure out when I could do another bath. :)
I want to get everyone I buy gifts for LUSH this year so they can experience this amazing line of products. If you ever have a chance to try them- you must. www.lushusa.com
And no LUSH isn't paying me to write a review or push their product. Although free stuff would be awesome :)
My Review of Big
Originally submitted at LUSH USA
Sea salt gives limp locks a major lift, so we put as much as possible into this best-selling shampoo (about half the content is sea salt). This is the shampoo for thin hair in need of volume. We add toothed wrack seaweed infusion for nourishment and softness and fresh lime juice and lemon infusion ...

I was pleasantly surprised at how much volume it gave my hair and how thick my normally fine, thin hair felt, almost like it doubled my hair folicles. Amazing shampoo and my husband said my hair smells and looks great after using it only one time!
