HOLY SCHNEIKES!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

(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!!

Happy 9th and 12-1/2th birthdays!

The show must go on! We had paid for the double birthday party and the weather was gorgeous and we were not cancelling—even though lots of people told me they wouldn’t have been surprised. Really, though, most everything was taken care of by the staff—we basically just had to haul in the drinks and snacks and then had the pizza delivered. I pretty much stayed on the picnic table the whole time.

A great time was had by all!

Read about the last time we were there (2015).

Later when we checked the other pictures, we saw that Owen had his Halley shirt on again! Totally unplanned!

We had to visit Owen and Tom’s names on the wall…which happened to be right about where we were seated.

Katie adding her name!

The dress in 1991 and 2016.

Okay, folks, who wore it better? Yes, here’s a DOOZY of a Then & Now. I first wore this dress to my high school Senior Awards Night and then to my graduation party (as seen in the photo, 1991). I loved the dress and kept it at my mom’s house all these years, wanting to get back into it someday. And that day was today to celebrate our 15th anniversary! And I traded the single-strand pearls for the pearls I wore with my wedding dress!

Sidenote 1: Owen took the picture from tonight.

Sidenote 2: When Owen saw me working on the collage, he said “WAIT. YOU HAD THAT DRESS 25 YEARS AGO?” 😯

I started to clean out the file cabinet and had to stop and post this awesome picture. It’s circa 1997 shortly after Tom and I met.

I showed the picture to Katie and asked who they were. She didn’t recognize either of them. When I told her, she said: “No, those are different guys.” 🙂

Throwback Thursday—I’ll never forget this.

Do you know what it is?

It’s from my grandparent’s screen door in Bay City.

I remember when we were cleaning out the house after my grandpa died I mentioned something to someone about keeping the door or at least the L…but I could only stay for a day or so before I had to head back home to North Carolina so I never knew (or asked) what happened to it.

Until today, when I posted it on Facebook. My mom said that the people who bought the house back then only recently replaced it…so someone in our family could have gotten it. Dang.

We found LOTS of good pictures while cleaning out Marsha’s apartment. I posted a few of the best ones. The Facebook comments were all basically “WOW! That’s Owen!” 🙂

School pics from 1981-1983. Always in blue. Always matching. 🙂

Kind of blue and still matching. #unearthedtreasures #theboyshateme (Rob commented that they probably even had the same underwear.)

 

Throwback Thursday—In Owen’s jogging suit

This is a 2T outfit—he was in it under 2 and she’s in it over 3! I’ve been meaning to put her in it for quite some time now and finally did it today; the pants are slightly too short but the jacket is almost too big.

Edited to add: Whoops! Those aren’t the right pants! Now I remember why I haven’t put her in that outfit before now… I couldn’t find the pants that go with that outfit!

Acorn Christmas Wreaths

Look familiar, Gramma Jean?!

Each kid got their own wreath. For Katie, I glued the strips and then let her put them on. She was only interested for about eight strips, so we put it away then tried again another time—at which point we got another handful of strips on. I ended up finishing hers for her because I wanted it finished before March. She was, however, more interested in the acorns—she’d tell me where to put the glue then she’d put the acorn on.

Honestly, Owen’s attention span wasn’t much better—it took him two times to get the strips done and then another time for the acorns.

And Owen fixing my wreath by adding an acorn that’s been missing for as long as I can remember:

But, I think it’s time to finally retire the wreath I made in pre-school (age 3)…
