Sometimes he gets morning cuddles
In Chicago for Comedy
Tonight the four of us went to Chicago to see comedian Dave Attell. I wasn’t really looking forward to it (long story) but I ended up having fun!
Yaaaaawn.
Owen & Olive
Yes, more Olive.
And playing with her bestie, Honey!
Kiss My Sass
Kiss My Sass should totally be MY color because the name is TOTALLY me. I mean if you know me, you get what I’m saying. (My business is named Living Lippy after all — because I’m sassy aka lippy!)
But in full transparency, I know this isn’t my best color…but I can still wear it and feel okay in it! And now that I’ve redone the photo, it’s out of the way and I won’t need to do it again!
Happy 21st Anniversary
Happy anniversary to my lobster—21 photos for 21 years! I wouldn’t want to do this life with anyone but you.
And then I realized our marriage is old enough to drink today!
Trying to take an anniversary pic before we left for dinner with Anna and David and we had two photobombers! And I caught Tom mid-scowl.
And we left the kids home with this:
Why oh why have I not been wearing Napa???!?
Omgggg it’s sooooo much better than I remembered! I guess that’s the problem with personally owning about 40 colors and having access to all the other ones!
This might be my new favorite color… but stay tuned, because I’m going through and redoing all my LipSense photos and I’m sure to find other favorites I’ve forgotten about.
I can’t stop taking Olive pics!
Lunch with the kids
I surprised the kids and took them out for lunch today!
My two cute girls!
I had to wash her hair myself today because she said it’s been about a week since she did it. Ugh kids. (She also wanted to wear LipSense today so she’s wearing Sunshine with Diamond Kiss gloss.)
But look how cute they are?!
I’m not crying—you’re crying.
I found this text on Katie’s phone tonight during one of our regular random checks.
I’m getting lip filler!Â
Yeah yeah, I know we have a Volumizer and I’ve recommended it so you don’t need needles…and I’ve used it myself! But while it did plump them up a bit and make them SUPER healthy, it didn’t give me the volume I’ve always craved… So I figured I’d try it once and see what I think. They said it would take about 4-5 days before it calmed down (but could take up to two weeks). Fingers crossed…but I like it so far!

I am still shocked at this number.

67
I was #67 in personal sales in the entire United States last year.
I haven’t had any leadership in years, but Jenna Clark adopted me into the Fab Squad and the rest is history!
I want to say a big THANK YOU to all my SeneSisters, but the biggest thanks go to my two amazing running partners Andrea and Sarah who are my first line of support and are always there for ideas, love, and commiseration!
And of course to all my customers…I couldn’t have done any of it without you!
REUNITED!
Don’t let all the smiling faces fool you—leaving Agate sucks.
Until next year…
A bit misty and chilly up at the top today.
Saturday
The kids wanted to go mini golfing and us ladies wanted to go shopping so we piled in the car and off we went—Katie actually sat in the waaaay back without a seat and she thought it was great fun!
All the feelings tonight.
It’s really strange being here at my dad and Lin’s house…and he’s not here. I keep expecting to see him shuffling in to say good morning, coming to the table for lunch, grabbing a Coke from the fridge, sitting in his rocker, sneaking some cookies, or giving him a kiss goodnight.
But at the same time — and of course something I feel immensely guilty about — is that it’s almost… easier? less stressful? a sense of relief? because there was so much involved in his daily care and dealing with his anxiety.
I’ve pretty much been avoiding any serious grieving before now because we only really saw him 2-3x a year so it was mostly “out of sight out of mind” (as crass as that may sound). But being here…and the memorial service is later this morning…well, I predict I will be a hot freaking mess. Just writing this is hard.
I don’t want to adult today.
An evening at Agate
Esrey Park
The kids love this park—and it’s right down the road from the house—so we took them there tonight!
And the best of the bunch.
Book 39 at Agate
And we’re off to the UP!
It’s time to pick up the kids from grandparent camp!
First, my traveling face. LOL
We had to drop Olive off at the sitter’s (we’ll take her next year once she’s more potty trained). She loves car rides!
Stopping for lunch at a gas station! They opened the side of the RV and we had a quick non-fast-food lunch!
The last 15 miles looks like this.
We’ve arrived!
And Lin had bought Thimbleberry margaritas so that happened first thing!
What happens when Tom comes home!
Book 37
I forgot about going outside to read because I’d had four days of Arizona’s blast furnace weather. But omggggggg today is perfection! And I’m on book #37: The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
I highly recommend this one. I had no idea it was historical fiction. To know that this lady I’m reading about actually existed was really quite cool.
I’m home so the super cute pictures of Olive can start again.
So much more than makeup and skincare!
My SeneGence business is soooo much more than just makeup and skincare. It’s about going outside my box. It’s about making new friends and making those connections and being able to help each other personally and professionally. And sometimes, yes, sometimes it’s about having a giant pajama party, fangirling over Sene-famous peeps, drinking together in the pool, taking 1000 pictures together, and throwing axes. I’m such a better person because of all these ladies…and it’s only going to get better from here!!
