We got free tickets to see The Rat Pack is Back in Milwaukee (courtesy of VetTix) so it was date night! Of course we had dinner first (at Doc’s Smokehouse)…
And then off to the Pabst Theater where we actually had really good seats this time —but unfortunately we didn’t love it so we left at intermission. Oh well. They can’t all be winners.
Now that the basement is picked up, we have room for this gymnastics bar and she’s in heaven!
This post has been sitting in my Drafts folder forever because I was always going to go through an old bin of schoolwork. But if got hidden in the move and I haven’t found it yet. So I just decided to post it anyway.
The kids had been bringing home awards and I was totally slacking on posting them, so here they are!
Someone slithered out of her sweater.
And looking quite pensive about it!
(Is that how you spell that?!) Look at what I found while I was searching for something else! Talk about a #glowup eh?!
▪️2017 was when I first started wearing LipSense (and no other SeneGence makeup or skincare)!
▪️2021 is after day-in/day-out SeneGence makeup AND skincare!
Yes, please!
I always thought the SeneGence glow-up photos were retouched but now that it’s me, I promise you there’s no filter or touch-up happening!
I also never thought I’d see this big of a change in my skin but here we are! I’m proof!!
When you grab a shadow out of your bin and apply it and it doesn’t feel quite right so you look at the tube and WHOOPS it was a Limited Edition smaller LipSense.
One of these is Cinnamon Shimmer ShadowSense and one is Bronzed Maple LipSense.
The good news is that it’s okay—it doesn’t hurt to wear LipSense on your eyes (you just want to be careful since it does have alcohol in it). I love products that are double and triple duty!

Why can’t she sleep this well at night?
In all honesty, I’m only up now because I had to put some samples on the giving tree for a customer this morning.
I may or may not have had too much tequila last night. I didn’t think so at the time, of course, and I did take Tylenol before bed…but yeah. It was too much. But! It was a super fun night. And yes, I did remove my makeup and wash my face before bed!
Testing out a new SenGence LipSense—Diva from the Ultra Intense Matte Collection!
I totally wasn’t expecting to like it…but I actually FREAKING LOVE IT.
I looooove hair washing and straightening day! I mean, I hate having to do it 😂 but I love the end result!
I also looooove a quick and easy look using just four products!! I didn’t specifically set out to do a barely there look but it happened and I was fine with it. (I had to jump on a PTA zoom meeting last minute and this was all I had done…then just decided to leave it!)

We did have ulterior motives — we were having an appraisal done to refinance and crap needed to go away! We got rid of a bunch but admittedly just stored a bunch under the house until we have more time to go through it.
But doesn’t it look amazing?!
Now it’s the kids’ job to KEEP it picked up!
Cool colored foam…
And whaaaaat? Fire dry?!
Yep. They aren’t kidding. Fire!
We’re still loving the pizza oven!
How many water glasses did I find in Owen’s room tonight?
I’m not upset since they were just water glasses and I’m often guilty of the same thing… I just thought it was funny.
Waiting to buy phones? No wait at all. Trying to fix problems and get numbers ported? Ugh.
It was probably an hour in hold just to get someone and then the rest fixing and waiting. And we’re still not done.
Hear Tom get up early to make sure the kids get off to school. Roll over and wake up a bit later and work my SeneGence biz from bed until Tom gives me crap about being a lazy butt. Get out of bed making old person grunting sounds. Text BFF off and on all day. Take a shower. Do my skincare and makeup and take photos for future posts. Take kid to appointment. Do random house things—pick up, let Maggie out/let Maggie in, water plants, let Maggie out/let Maggie in, feed Maggie, organize office, do laundry, let Maggie out/let Maggie in/let Maggie out/let Maggie in, give Maggie her meds, clean kitchen, wonder aloud who left six glasses on the kitchen table/who left candy wrappers on the couch/why there are dirty socks everywhere, walk by the kids’ bathroom and lament how disgusting kids are, let Maggie out/let Maggie in, pop into the office to work for a bit. Spend some cuddle time with Maggie on the couch while working my biz. Run errands. Get nails done. Jump in the hot tub with hubby. Watch a TV show with hubby. Try to make the kids do chores when they come home from school. Make dinner for/with friends. Watch a TV show with friends/Tom/kids. Remove my makeup, wash my face, apply nighttime skincare. Take more photos. Go to bed and work my biz from bed.
I kinda love it all and wouldn’t change a thing (minus the old person grunting sounds, the messy kids, and the geriatric dog that goes in and out 28x a day).
We celebrated Tom’s new job with dinner at our favorite restaurant with our best friends…with an after-dinner dueling piano show downstairs in the VIP room, courtesy of the owner giving away free tickets on a local Facebook group!
Things started off innocently enough—and we ran into other friends there—
…but the bartender was making strong drinks and then the owner gave our group a few free drinks…
So then this happened at the end of the night after way too many drinks had been consumed…
I was the designated driver so we all got home safely—and Anna and David ended up staying the night. It was…interesting.
But we all had fun and I was happiest that Anna enjoyed it because she started the night assuming she was going to hate it.
