Oh the Joy

So, if you follow me on facebook, you know that I just got a smart phone!! I have been pretty content with my little, kid friendly, sturdy, reliable phone. (Definatley not so smart!) But this phone has opened my little world up. Instagram... LOVE. Words with friends... Addicted. And this blogger app... Priceless for when I want to make a little update.

So, are there any apps that are "must-haves"? Fill me in on all the goods!

Wordless Wednesday

This past weekend we went up north for my Great Grandmas 90th birthday. My Little boys have a Great Great Grandma. It is so unbelievable, and we are so lucky!
Anyways, this is my favorite picture from the whole weekend. My grandma and Brax dancing to my cousins band. :)
That little look is just love!

Easter Sunday!

So having both my family and Hubby's family in town makes our holidays crazy! We start off with our own little family, then go from one of our moms to the other moms. Easter was no different!
We had brunch at my moms!
Remember the Real LIfe Pintrest "Christmas Edition"? We made the same thing for Easter, but without the messiness. My mom accidentally bought seamless crescent roll dough. So, we compromised! We made it more like a little sandwich. It was delish!
Here are the little munchkins eating muffins!
Egg hunt at my mamas!
I was afraid he wouldn't get it!
Then, it was "Linner" at my MILS house. His whole side of the family came! Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and Great Grammy!
Of course with this many kiddos, there was more egg hunting!!!
My boys, my lovely, and Me! :)

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter also!

A Creative Wordless Wednesday!

OH LORDY! So I was just sitting down to find a WW picture, (because I am slacking today!) and
TAHDAH!
 One walked right up to my lap.




Yes, that is my baby Bo, who, while i had my back turned for 2 minutes, grabbed a purple crayon, and ate it. Thank goodness for the inventor of non toxic crayons. I have an odd feeling I might be seeing purple diapers later, but don't worry, I'll spare you all the picture! ;)

Tuesday Beauty Link Up! :)

This week, over at {just.lovely.things}, Heather is talking about facial care. This is a biggie. I can slack on a lot of things, but taking care of my face is an absolute must. I used Proactiv for a while, but usually it dries my face out, really quick. Sometimes, I use bar soap if I'm in a pinch. BUT, my go to soap is Organix Ever Ageless Cherry Blossom Cleanser and Toner.
 
The one thing I really like about the cleanser, is that it isn't super foamy. My face feels silky clean, without the tightness feeling. I wash with a sponge, too. It was kind of an odd concept at first, kinda seemed like a dish sponge on my face, but, it cleans so well! MUCH better than the normal wash cloth.
The Cherry Blossom toner doesn't sting. {another feeling I hate!} I feel my face, super smooth, and refreshed. The smell is amazing. Its fresh and feminine.
When I need a good exfoliant, I use this sulfuric acid mask from ilike. I got it at a salon in Ashland, after an amazing facial. It feels so clean, and your skin totally glows afterwards.
Last but not least on my go to list, is an acne pen from Yes to Tomatoes.
Its a little roller ball, and you just rub it on your zit. It calms the redness a bit (unless of course, like me, you pick at it until its open, then rub it on... not so much!)
 
So there you have it. My go to beauty supplies that keep my face healthy. I am one to try anything once, What is your favorite face routine??
