HP Show and Tech HP Chromebook 14 | #Giveaway (Ends 1/2)

This year, we've fallen a little behind the times in the laptop and notebook departments!  My laptop is two years old, this month, and Andy's Chromebook is one of the first models that came out.  Don't get me wrong, they all still work, and they're tools for our jobs, but we both have that itch in the back of our minds that we could definitely use the newest modes, especially the HP Chromebook 14! My parents, on the other hand, just needs a new laptop altogether!  We're thinking that the HP Chromebook 14 will be perfect for them, because all…

Throw Back Thursday Christmas! | #tbt #christmas

Happy Thursday, y'all! I remember when Kylie was an only child.  Life was a little easier to have one two year old than it is to a have two year old, six year old, nine year old, and (gasp) fourteen year old. When this picture was taken, my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law (I think she was she'll have to correct me if I'm wrong - Hi Erin!) bought Kylie this adorable houndstooth dress, fixed her hair so pretty, and took her down to have Christmas pictures taken.  Of course, this isn't the professional picture, but I love it because it's…

Duck the Halls – Hairy Christmas | #duckdynasty #duckthehalls #christmas

I have a new favorite Christmas song!  Andy and I were watching the CMA Country Christmas special the other night, and although the host was a bit over the top and we had to record it and fast forward through her MCing, we really wanted to see Willie and Luke Bryan!  I love the song!! Of course, this isn't the official video, but the song is great! :) This song is SO my dad! "So we bought every string of lights Walmart had, now he can see the house from outer space!"

pickURgift – Create a Reverse Wish List | #pickURgift #Giveaway (12/16)

This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Those Media Girls and pickURgift. All thoughts and opinions are my own. For the past several years, the hubby and I have geeked all out when it comes to our Christmas list.  We make a color coded spreadsheet with what we've already purchased or reviewed for Christmas gifts for the kids as well as items that we still need to grab!  Our hope is that we're organized, fair, and not stuck with last minute shopping because we've forgotten something.  The problem is, this can be quite cumbersome when it comes to…
