Spoiled Royal Girls
Jul 1st
Every Wednesday night I have a special dinner with my girlfriend Crystal. She’s a stay at home mom to 2 month old boy girl twins and a 2 year old little girl. Her husband is a project manager for a large local corporation and works in California so she doesn’t get much adult time. I can count on Wednesday’s as a good time because we like to let loose with a few drinks, do some heavy girl talk, and just hang out.
Last night we headed to Red Robin for dinner and then off to the casino so spend money I didn’t have. Crystal knows this local casino. I’d never really done slots before so it was exciting and fun. We grabbed and beer and headed to the penny slots. I stuck my 1st 20 dollar bill in and bam! I won 72 dollars! I can see how that would get seriously addicting.
At Spoiled Royal Girls I found a cool slot machine tile pendant in honor of my big win and first casino experience. Right now you can buy 3 pendants and get 1 for free. Happy shopping!

Someone must have been hearing my prayers! The sun is finally supposed to start shining this weekend. I get so jealous when I read all the posts on Facebook and Twitter from people all over the US who are already in their pools and having dinner on their patio’s at night. Here in wonderfully rainy Washington it’s done nothing but rain. Usually we have a great June, July, and August but it doesn’t appear to be doing that this year. Here’s to 75+ all weekend long!
The sun motivated me to feature some earrings from Mindy G Jewelry Boutique. This Etsy shop is rocking lots of super cute stuff but I had to go with the Lemonade Coin Pearl earrings in honor of the hot sun blasting through my office windows. As Rachel Zoe would say, I die! They are dainty and look very light weight. Most importantly, they are a bright fiery color perfect for summer! Get on the bandwagon ladies!

All I hear from the twins lately is how hungry they are. All they want to do is eat. It’s sort of scary for me because I struggle with feeding them when they are hungry or holding off until meal time. I was overweight my entire life and it wasn’t until this past year that I decided to take control of that by working out. I also cut out all fast food and frozen coffees. I’m not on a diet exactly. I eat whatever the family is having for dinner. I also try very hard to not bring all the junk into the house. If it’s in the house I’ll eat it.
There’s two things we go through the house quicker then quick with. Ketchup and bread. Don’t ask me why. I’d have to say that ranch salad dressing is following close behind, but bread is certainly number 1. This fun ring from Melanie Favreau inspired my post today. It’s a fun bread clip ring made from sterling silver that looks just like those plastic ones that normally comes on a bag of your favorite bread. What’s even cooler, is that you can have it turned into a pendant and hang this from a chain. Very chic!

I’m sick again. I think the reason I’m sick again is because the first time around I didn’t take any antibiotics. I tried to kick it without going to the doctor. I just took over the counter stuff and it went away on it’s own. Now it’s a week later and it’s full steam ahead. I finally managed to make a doctors appt last night so that I would for sure go in a be seen. I feel like I just need to pop my head. It’s gross.
When I’m sick I’m thankful for poptarts. Why poptarts? Well, they make easy breakfasts for lunch in the morning for the kids. We go through a ton of poptarts in this house! The boys are allowed to pick them out and boy do they pick out some interesting flavors. S’more flavored poptarts just don’t sound all that appealing. What happened to strawberry and cherry?
At Cute -N- Sweet Cafe you can pick yourself a fun strawberry scented poptart charm. This little scented toasted pastry charm comes with a jump ring even has baby fine multicolored glitter for extra fun. You can pick whether you want it to have pink or white frosting. We all know that you can’t go wrong with pink! There’s a bunch of other fun charms to pick from. I just thought the poptart ones were cute and fitting because we go through them so quickly in our house. I just knew you’d be able to appreciate this.
