AND THE GOLDEN GLOBE GOES TO...

My number one of the night goes to Lea Michelle. She looked amazing. UH-MAH-ZING. Make-up, body, dress, hair. This girl can rock it!

She is truly gorgeous!

Also loved Sofia Veraga. Unreal how beautiful she is. Maybe the Sophia Loren of our time!

Nicole looked great. I am not always a fan of her fashion looks, but girlfriend brought it last night!

Jessica Alba looked fantastic....Her best accessory? Her hawt husband Cash Warren!

Salma Hayek gave Sophia a run for her money last night! Beautiful and look at that hourglass figure.

Octavia Spencer looked wonderful! I was crying when she read her speech. SO proud of my hometown and The Help!

Nicole Richie looked gorgeous and very Old Hollywood Glam!

WORST DRESSED....

Reese needed to re-think this. It looks about 4 sizes too small. Smushed boobs and not sure about the hair, either!

Sarah Michelle Gellar looks great but the dress? Awful!!! She said her 2 year old picked it out. I think she colored on it with a magic marker, also.

Michelle Williams? Not crazy about her looks the last two years. Some people voted her best dressed. Not me.

And there aren't words for this. Kelly, what is UP with your hair? Awful.

And there you have it!

Who was your favorite? Least Favorite???

SOME THINGS I'M LOVING on this COLDDDDD FRIDAY!

This book is fabulous!! It will change your life and the way you look at food all together and you will start to question every single thing you put in your body. Beef? You will look at it so differently. Sugar? Dairy? The government tells us that all these things are all healthy and yet our nation is getting fatter and fatter. I have never been on this whole bandwagon but this makes you see things VERY clearly!! Download this now! You won't be sorry!

Switching gears, I am hoping for maybe a 2 piece this year?!?! LOTS of work to do.

From Nordstroms

Trina Turk. Love this!

I am also in love with Pinterest! Check out this little boy's room. How cool is the pirate ship on the ceiling that you can only access by a bridge? And the best part? There is a slide in it that shoots out in the laundry room basement!!! I am sure his dad is a builder!! HAHA!

I love this diet cheat sheet!!!

And what about this great drawer for jewelry made with cheap cute bowls and mismatched china from the dollar store and flea market! Love it!

And I am in LOVE with this idea for sippy cups!!! This is on my weekend project to-do list!

I also love this oil paint drip pan that has been turned into a learning space! Also on the to-do list!!

And this is a table cloth (vinyl) from Target that has been coated with polyurethane and made into a rug!! Yes! A HUGE $4.00 rug!!!

And what about these GREAT MINT Wellies?! This is the IT color for SPRING!!!

And my last project for weekend? This darling wreath!!! I will blog about the results on Monday!!!

And this is the greatest thing ever! Look at this list of great foods!!!

We just started this Bible Study on Monday and I LOVE IT!!! It is a definite YES!!

And last but not least.....some new happies for Paisley!

ALL from Nordstroms! What are you LOVING?

XOXO-

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yes I know that it is January 12 2012. I am just a little behind. Two kids under my feet make me slower at everything but I wouldn't change it for the world!!!

As much as I hate undecorating after Christmas, I also love the start of a New Year and all the things that come with that, such as organizing and cleaning and setting new goals for the year. What are your goals? I would love to hear!

Mine are the following:

1) unplug from the computer/iPhone/iPad etc. and actually communicate face to face!

2) send more cards and happies to people who need them...

3) plant a vegetable garden

4) craft more! Dont you just love Pinterest?! It's like fantasy football for girls. It's amazing what I am capable of making!

5) Read Gods word more and more and more. I have recently started a Beth Moore Bible Study entitled "James" and I had no idea how deep we would be going! I just love Beth Moore.

6) Quit cleaning so much and just play with my babies.

7) Keep my word and don't overcommit.

8) Be healthy and not worry so much about being skinny.

9) Run 3-4 times a week.

10) NO MORE COKE ZEROS! Two weeks out and not a one! So proud of myself!!!!!

Can't wait to hear yours!!!

MORE CHRISTMAS 2011!

These are some of my favorite shots of Christmas this year. We went to visit my grandmother who will be 89 in a few weeks in the nursing home. This woman is a prayer warrior and gave birth to 7 children. That always blows my mind. I can't take care of 2 kids. Ha! Anyway, Paisley always enjoys the nursing home and the patients love to come by and visit. She thinks it is so fun to push my Grandmother in her wheel chair. Hilarious.

We took them candy canes to pass out and little bags of sugar free candy. Paisley loved that part. Anything dealing with candy makes her happy. And Griffin had a great time chasing 2 balloons as fast as he could. They are so precious!

One night, we all went up to Canton to look at the square and see the Christmas lights. If any of you have ever seen A Time To Kill, this is where the movie was shot. At Christmas, they turn there town square into a village of lights. This Christmas Tree was my favorite part! We took lots of family photos here!

One of me and my sister, Rana. I love her so much and I am so proud of her. She is truly a selfless person who does so much for others. I am so grateful to have a sister.

Rana and her husband Tim.

We all decided to ride the train. Our driver was crazy. I think he was issued a license that day!
\

Another one of me and Stephen. We never take pictures and we had lots this year! Yay!

Paisley was over this. She was ready to ride the carousel!

Playing around with editing...


I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Show Us Your Life. 2011 Christmas Decor.

LORD HAVE MERCY! It has been a long month. I have NO excuses (at all) as to why I have not blogged, but I have been in a major blogging slump. Along with a crazy hectic schedule with kids and traveling to Mississippi and all sorts of things. I have missed you all SO very much! I have some great things rolling out, so be sure to check in often!

Okay, so back to Kelly's Korner Blog and the Show Us Your Life tour....I went a little nutso and Christmas decor this year. My husband said our house looked like Christmas on steroids. I really didn't realize how much I had decorated until yesterday, as when I had to start un-decorating and packing it all up. Um, yeah. I went crazy. I decorated 6 trees. But you know what? I had a blast and loved every minute of it. And Paisley loved it more than I did. I have a major Martha Stewart on my hands!

Above is my big tree. I have had this tree for 6 years. I have lots of random and very nice ornaments here! Funny story....I was engaged before I met Stephen and we had a huge Christmas Engagement Party. Everyone brought ornaments as a gift. I did not want to throw them all away when we broke up, so I kept them. Stephen thinks it is pretty funny that we put all these ornaments up. He finds it ironic :) (thank goodness he is a good sport!) Anyway, I also love some decor poly mesh!! Easiest decorating tool ever made!!

Griffin's Tree is super fun! He has lots of whimsical and little boy trinkets on his tree. Like this Dinosaur Ornament....

He has lots of pirates, cars, and trucks!

I made these ornaments with ribbon and scrapbook stickers. Superfun!

It turned out really cute and fun! That was the idea...

My kitchen is home to my nutcracker collection. I have around 40 currently. They are my "little men" as Paisley calls them!

One of my most precious gifts is my Fontanini Nativity Collection. I love the face that these pieces are actually plastic, so the kids can play with them as much as they want!

One of my new trees is in my kitchen. It is placed on a rotating stand, which is so cool! I love being able to see all the ornaments up close! I also decorated this tree with red and white ribbon from Hobby Lobby, along with lots of nutcracker ornaments and homed ornaments made by my kids...
\

Like this one....

And this cute gingerbread man that she made me this year in Pre-K.

I also love to bring ornaments home as a souvenir from trips like Destin, Disneyworld, and also Jamaica.These are all such great memories of our trip! I love it...

This year, some of my girlfriends went to lunch and we made these darling ornaments! They are our "favorite things about each other" ornaments. I found this idea on pinterest and just loved it...

Another one that Paisley made me out of her thumbprints...

One of my favorite nutcracker door pieces...

Some of my favorite nutcrackers from this year....I love all of these...

Christopher Radko....

My Cooking Nutcracker....

As well as this one from my mama, it is pink....

The other new tree that I added this year is in my dining room....my peacock tree. I love love love double heart love it!

I found this fabulous tree topper off of eBay. It worked perfectly!

I loved these peace ornaments and I found them at Target in packs of 3.

Dining Room Decor...

Paisley's small tree. All decorations came from Wal-Mart. Yes, I know. But they have some good stuff!

And finally, Paisley's big tree! We had so much fun decorating this one!!!

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR!

Hugs from Nashville....
