Top Two Tuesday!!!


Top Two Tuesdays is hosted by Taylor at The Undomestic Mama!!!  You can see Taylor's and many other Mama's Top Two pics HERE!!!.

Today's Top Two pics is Your Top Two Favorite Perfumes!!!
I must say that I am a creature of habit. I LOVE perfume, especially sexy sexy perfume, but I never get around to buying it too much. It is one of those things that I LOVE but just never takes a top priority. Let's face it, after you have children, nothing for you take top priority, HA! 

But, a good perfume always makes me feel extra sexy, beautiful, attractive, and desired. Especially, when someone comments on it, most of all the hubs.

These are my favs, but I have not been loving them so much in the summer. I think maybe they are more fall/winter perfumes.  So, I will be excited to see what you all pick. Maybe I might get some great ideas!

1.


Okay, I cannot find exactly which Vickie Secret Perfume I have online, but it is in a frosty purple bottle, with a velvet purple bow.  I get so many complimets  on it, and it smells heavenly.  And of course, nothing makes you feel sexier than wearing Victoria's Secret.  The shop just oozes sensuality.

I love this perfume, and I get lots of compliments on it. I have also heard that the Valentino perfume with the little fan is fabulous too!


Taylor's is hosting a give away today, one that I am VERY EXCITED about!!  I am LOVING this website My Vintage Baby!!

GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY!!!!

It was very hard to decide, but I think my FAV outfit is the one Lil Miss is wearing and the one pictured here



This website has fabulous clothes, and from what Taylor said, they sound absolutely beautful!!  There really is a difference between good designer quality clothes and well, less quality desiger clothes!!
You can feel it in the quality of the stich of the fabric and the weight of the fabric!!
I would LOVE the little pumpkin to be able to romp around in one of these beautiful designs!!! 
She's be the Talk of the Town!!!

Beautiful Baby Contest!!!



We entered our Nik in a contest at a local Radio Station in our home town.  Actually, it's the only station I listen to EVER in my car, 107.7 THE BULL!!  They play the best country and a great mix of new and old music!  Big D and Bubba in the morning always make the ride to work that much better-they always make me smile and laugh!  Nik loves to dance and sing in her car seat with me. She loves Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldeen, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride, George Strait to name a few, just like Mommy.  She sure is a country girl, she just grew up in the Midwest!

You can vote for her by, Facebooking (you have to be a member) 107.7 The Bull, "liking" the radio station, and then if you scroll down, the left sidebar has the rounds of voting for the contest. Nik is in the last round, Round 7, at the bottom of the page.  You vote by "liking" her photo.

I entered her in a little late, and so she's running behind...;( I think you can vote everyday.  She sure would love your support;) So would I, pretty please!!!!;) XOXO

You can vote HERE!!!

Nik Update: Nik is SO into learning lately!!  She is loving learning the names and sounds of all the animals/objects in her  picture books. She is adapting to sign language so quickly and already knows, milk, more, finished, tired, change, butterfly, shark, aligator/crocodile, bug, tiger, book and balloon.

She will bring her book to me, and sign what she knows. I have to say it is such a relief that we can communicate on some level, as she has been extra fussy lately because she is so close to talking, but she just is not quite there yet. I know she is taking it all in though. She understands what we say bc she does exactly what we say when we say something or direct her somewhere.  She has so much she wants to say, but I'm afraid that at this point most of it comes out in jabber, shrieks, grunts, screams, and frustrated pointing, reaching, and gestures. 

I can't wait for her to take all these steps, I LOVE every minute, and just want to soak as much of it in as I can.  It's so hard to be away from her, I miss her terribly;)

Today we caught a couple bugs in a bug catcher, and she signed bug, it was so cute!  She was loving it!

And she shoved two huge chicken nuggets in her mouth at dinner and walked around that way for about 10 minutes, until they crumpled into nothing, ha!

Top Two Tuesday!! Top Two Favorite Books!!

Top Two..."I'm Back...."  It has been a while, and I've missed you...

Top Two Tuesday is hosted by Taylor at the Undomestic Mama. You can see Taylor's and many other Mama's Top Two picks Here.


Top Two Favorite Books

1.

                                                     



I fell in love with these books from the moment they hit the shelves, and turned my mother and everyone I'd ever met onto them. My mother still has the books, she won't give them back she loves them so much, ha!  I have never found a series of books that literally made me roll on the floor laughing as Sophie Kinsella does.  She is a literary mastermind!  I just adore her characters personalities.  I could read them over and over and not get tired of them.  I would die waiting for the next one to come out and as sooon as it did I couldn't wait to dive into it.  I was literally MIA till I finished reading it. Of course the "Shopaholic" series are my favorite, but I also LOVE The Undomestic Goddess (Ha, Ha Taylor Boo!!) and Remember Me.




2.





I love Lauren's books.  She is my other favorite author.  I wish I could write like she does.  I think she is a brillant writer.  So spot on with women, men, trends and society.  I almost majored in English bc I dreamed of becoming a writer and writing books like these. Great summer reads!!

Other faves:


I have read the "Something Borrowed" but not "Something Blue yet."  I LOVED this!

and

I LOVE KATE WHITE!!  I LOVE mysteries, and who better to write a saucy, sexy mystery than the editor of Cosmoplitan, My Bible (in my younger days).





Ok, so I LOVE to read, espcially in the summer.  There is nothing better than lounging in the sun reading a saucy romance novel, mystery, or "chick lit."  I have to give honorable mention to James Patterson and Nicholas Sparks, but I share a LOVE-HATE relationship with Spark's books bc they always end in tragedy.  Why??? Why do they always have to end in tragedy??  I have to say if you love Nicholas Sparks, but do not want to finish a novel in tears, try this one, it's a nice summer read and simply charming, and no tragedy (though I expected it at every turn the first time, treading carefully as I read it, bc I know his forte).



I can't wait to pick-up a great summer read, although I'm not sure when I'll find the time, but I have been dying to delve into a GOOD book! 

Any suggestions...?
