~Friday and Earth Day Love~

Happy Friday my dearies!
Today I am homebound re-couping from a surgery to remove another bad mole from my back (more on this in another post another day!)

All that matters is that I am happy, healthy,
 and more aware of taking care of my body than ever!

Everything happens for a reason.

So with my s.p.f. always on hand and a fun floppy hat for spring/summer I wanted to wish you all a
Happy Earth Day!
What I am doing to do my part on Earth Day:

~Not driving at all~
~Keeping the lights down and instead going outside~
~Recycling (ok I do this everyday)~
~Donating items not using instead of throwing anything out~
~Repurposing some old decor pieces into new ones~

What about you?

Also, what are your plans this EASTER weekend?

Just in case you missed anything:

AND on the wedding blog:

Oooh and one last thing . . .

is . . .


Congrats and I hope everyone has a fantabulous Earth Day AND Easter weekend!!!

Email me your addy and choice to memorybeandesigns@yahoo.com.

NOW onto an important topic to me lately . . .

Why I blog

*To share my thoughts/fears/concerns/joys/adventures

*An outlet for my excitement (b/c sometimes it's bubbling over and I need an outlet! Lol)

*To meet some UH-MAZING people

*To keep an "online journal" that I can go back and read, to write down funny stories and adventures before I forget!

*To inspire others

*To share my creations

*To motivate myself to stick with challenges, and hold me accountable to these challenges

*To ask advice when needed (thanks guys!)

*To share some great ideas/finds with others

*To find inspriation on other blogs (this happens daily!)

*To keep those friends and family members that read my blog informed on me and our little family

I do not blog
To gain extra followers, or to try to be someone I am not.

This is me!
I'm kind of random, girly, crazy, I love to cook, shop, create, inspire, read, write, travel, bake, laugh, plan parties, and I just love life.
I go through spurts where I write more often, more in depth, etc and then there will be times where I am out enjoying life with little blogging time.

I've noticed that I have lost a few "followers" over the past week, and at first I was kind of sad . . . but now I'm over it! Hee hee . . . I know my blog will not appeal to everyone.  If you don't like it, don't follow.  It's all gravy with me:-)

So no, my blog is not here to please everyone. I am going to be me, and as long as I keep true to myself I am not worried about these little things.

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves why we do things in life . . .
life is way to short to waste time or try to be someone we are not.

Sorry if this wasn't all cute and full of fun (like usual).
Just breaking it down and being real.

Now it's your turn . . .
So why do YOU blog?!

We sure did:-)
Nice and relaxing!

*Saw "Eat Pray Love" with my girls*
Loved the book, and equally loved the movie.  Kind of inspiring!

*Watched 3 movies via Netflix*
Who doesn't love Netflix?!
We saw The Green Zone, The Backup Plan, and Repo Men.



Definately don't watch Repo Men, yuck!!! Sometimes ratings are wrong, I was cringing and my stomach hurt the whole time, BUT it had Jude Law and I thought it would get better.  I can't start something and not finish it, but this one I wish I stopped. 
I'm naive and love happy movies:-)

*Went to our favorite English Pub to watch my favorite futbol team Chelsea win!*
Yup my team won, so my hubby lost the bet.  Now he is on dish duty for the week ha ha ha.
*Horse Races at Emerald Downs*
In continuation of my hubby's 31st Birthday Bashes we went to enjoy a day at the track with the fam, and what a day we had!
We figured out a strategy and started with $40 (we are not big gamblers!)

Before each race we went down to chk out the horses

Soooo hubby wins 3 out of 6 races, and I win 4 out of 6.  BUT he wagered way more!

So at the end of the day I win around $100!!!
BUT my hubby wins over $700, how does that happen?!
The lady at the counter kept laughing when he came up to collect his winnings, and told him to buy a lotto ticket! So he did, maybe his luck will continue?

~Also we have a Fabulously Free winner!~
(Thanks again Sara Norris Photography for sponsoring this giveaway!
You truly have amazing photographs!!!)
