Katie did my makeup today
Katie has been begging to do my makeup for awhile now so I finally let her today. She didn’t do too badly and I only had to touch it up a bit. I did have Nude Honey HydraMatte lips at the start but that was like 5 hours ago.
Lilac ShadowSense
Mermaid Shimmer ShadowSense
Smoked Topaz ShadowSense brows
Rose Duo BlushSense
They have to be touching
Calgon, take me away!
Owen’s baseball stuff is in Tom’s truck BECAUSE OF COURSE IT IS.
I don’t have enough time to go get his stuff and make it back to pick him up from strength training and then get to baseball camp.
Owen doesn’t want to go to baseball camp anyway because his arm hurts.
Oh, and he doesn’t want to go to baseball camp at all anymore because “he knows everything already” — forget that we spent $200 on it.
Tom isn’t answering his texts.
I checked Owen’s summer health class scores and they are not where they should be.
The housekeepers come tomorrow, and I just want to burn the house down.
And the new swipe keyboard I’m testing is a disaster.
Someone stayed up too late
Katie had a sleepover last night and they stayed up all night — I last heard them at 2 and then this morning before 6.
Tom said on his way past Katie’s room at 5am, he heard music—the girls were up and had been all night! Soooooo I was not surprised when this happened a little later!
She just plopped down and cuddled.
Katie’s birthday dinner!
Double rainbow on the way to Dave & Busters!
Birthday turtle painting!
For her birthday, Katie took a friend to paint a turtle! (This is where Anna and I just painted our pets.)
Friday Fave: Red lipstick
Another of my many favorite things? This week it’s actually a SeneGence product — the OG Blu Red LipSense! ♥️💋♥️
Everyone needs a bold red lippy (not kidding!) and this is a great place to start (not kidding!)!
☕️ It won’t rub off on your coffee cup.
🌭 It won’t come off when you eat!
🔆Plus it protects your lips from the sun!
Katie’s been busy today!
Stalemate!
Y’all remember my first chess game against Owen when he checkmated me in like three moves?
Well let me just say… Our second game ended in a stalemate!
His response? “Aw man that was the worst game I’ve ever played!”
Gee thanks buddy.
I told him I’m definitely not as good as he is but I can play.
No pic of the board because he packed that ish up right away. 😂
He missed coaching!
Owen was filling in on our friend Jamie’s team for a game so Tom could just sit and relax instead of coaching…but he just couldn’t take it and was pacing a bit and taking to the other coaches. He finally did manage to sit down once the game started! I liked it it because I got all my baseball questions answered!
Watermelon nails!
Almost the exact color of my Plumeria LipSense!
I want to be this comfy
Yes, she’s sitting on her.
Kisses
Take the time. It’s worth it.
Take the time and make the plans to see your faraway friends. It’s worth it.
It was so good to talk in person and give hugs and laugh and drink and eat together.
That said, 36 hours was NOT enough time to spend with this amazing person, but something is better than nothing.
Cheers!
Chocolate martinis for the win!
I think Olive missed Anna.

Would this make it on your favorites?
Just two more for a square of Bostons!
Tom is working from home today and sent me this saying we just need two more to have a square!
After a stretch, Olive was in the danger zone!
Just when you think it’s safe to leave them alone…
I come downstairs from my shower to find this:
GRRRRRRRRR.
A special treat!
We rarely let the dogs upstairs…but tonight we did.
Ivy saw her first mirror and was entranced. I thought she might bark at herself but she didn’t.
After playing for about five minutes, they finally calmed down and slept. Together of course.
Then olive turned into a clove.
I’m at my wits end.
Katie was at a sleepover and needed a bathing suit so I had to go into her room to look for one. She told me which drawer it was in. It wasn’t. And imagine my disgust when I found her drawers like this. I told her if I had known this was what her dresser looked like, there would not have been a sleepover.
Revisiting Scream
Omg y’all. We watched the original 1996 Scream tonight because Katie has been saying she wants to watch horror movies.
This was the first movie Tom and I saw together in the theater so we wanted to see how it held up. Of course we didn’t remember how bloody it really was… Owen bowed out after the first few scenes saying he didn’t like scary movies. Katie freaking loved it and now wants to watch the rest of the series. (I hadn’t kept track and there are six!)
I’m not a fan of horror/slasher films (I’ve never had any desire to see any of the Freddy/Jason franchises) so we’ll see what happens next.
I like #1 but I’ll take Top 5!
Yeah I’m gonna toot my own horn a little bit here.
And #12 out of 3.7K members in the Fab Squad!
Two cute furry faces
Like mother like daughter
Katie wanted to wear makeup today…so we both did the same look:
- Sandstone Pearl Shimmer and Sunbaked Shimmer ShadowSense
- Rose Dew BlushSense
- Black mascara
- My lips are 2x Caramel Latte + Sassy Z and hers are Nude Honey HydraMatte.
Rainy day reading and cuddles.
A man and his dogs.
