Apparently There Are Designer Moths

The other morning a a friend visited to drop off two pets we will be pet sitting. At the top of my screen door I noticed a huge moth. I have seen big moths before but never one that had pink on it's wings.

Forgive the photo as it was hard to reach so I had to just raise my hand, shoot and hope for the best but it was truly beautiful.

Hershey Lodge Play Room



We loved Hershey Lodge. There is so much for kids to do there including this room which has a TV, game tables, and more.

Don't you love that big Hershey bar bench?

Kiss Is Soo Cute

We took the kids to Hershey Park last month and had the absolute best time. Kiss is of course one of the many main characters! This gift shop is full of Kiss and her friends Hershey and Reese. Wild Child! That was me. I was never a bad girl but definitely ready always looking to have some good clean fun. Hopefully I will find her again!

I found it hysterical that these two key chains were sitting right next to each other as my sister's name is Gabrielle. If Lori was close by I would have thought it was a sign from above!

I love Hanging With These Kids

My kids are my favorite people and I often think about the day they won't be in my life because they have moved onto their own "Grown Up" lives. God willing it will happen and I like all other kids obsessed moms will have to move on but it really weighs on my some days that I won't always know where they are. I won't always know they are safe and their are days I may not even hear from them at all. UGH..but for now they are safe with me and I am loving every minute of it.

We Loved Hershey Park - Photos and Our Story Coming Soon!

My Family's Dinner Choice Is Super Easy On My Busy Nights


 
My son will eat pizza every night if I let him. He loves it and I am not surprised. My husband has told me that from 7-17 he lived on Pizza only it wasn't anything like Freschetta it was a cardboard, frozen pizza that I have never served my son nor will I ever type the word. In fact buying it when we first moved in together was down right embarrassing. I am hardly embarrassed to buy my son Freschetta pizza.  As an Italian mom I love cooking for my family however my kids love this stuff!  In fact, I love it! It looks and smells homemade and this is coming from someone who grew up with the smells of my Great-Grandma's pizza wafting through the house whenever we visited.


While we are partial to Freschetta Pepperoni and Four Cheese I cannot wait to try the Chicken and Fire Roasted Veggies.

FYI this is the only type of frozen pizza my daughter will eat. She likes the "spices they put in their sauce". I can't tell you that they are adding anything different but I think it is because she can see the oregano on top.

Our Fun Filled Week Included, Pools, Lakes, Boat Trips and Parks

What a great day we had on the lake. My friend Madelaine, my kids and I met for breakfast last week. Afterward she treated us to a ride on her pontoon boat. My son's second time on a boat, my daughter bragging that it was her third and I were so excited and happily boarded.

She took us around the lake and then docked us at a place called The Cove. The kids got out and swam with the ducks while Mad and I caught up.

It was paradise and the best part was to watch my kids play as if they were friends. No fighting after weeks of being on summer vacation. Ahhhhh it was a beautiful day. Afterwards to keep up the fun I took them to the park. We ended up having to leave 40 minutes later due to the heat but it was a really great end to our day outdoors and unplugged

Sizzling Summer Lips!


 I love make-up and and all kinds but especially eyes and lips. You can get away with not doing everything else as long as your lips and eyes are done!

 
Hard Candy is a name brand I have come to know and love. Besides the fun names on their make-up they are really affordable (approx $6.00)!


Last month I received a lip plumping serum from Hard Candy and was so excited to try it. I have tried them in the past always liked them but this time what I loved most was that while Hard Candy has the fruit extracts that add to the plumpness this didn't try out my lip line and it didn't burn. There is that menthol feel but nothing like I have experienced in the past with others.


The shade I have is called Lion Tamer. I like it as it is really glossy, adds volume and has great color. Almost like a nude with a touch of shimmer




So That Is What A Moth's Eye and A Decomposing Fly Looks Like

This USB/Android Cord Microscope is amazing. The cord is a 2-in-1 USB or Droid cord due to the fact it transforms with a flip (see the video).


Picture 1 - Nickle (look at that blue? We did not see it with our naked eye, What is that PlayDoh?)


Picture 2 - Dead Fly's leg - YUCK!


Picture 3 - Strand of my daughter's hair and multiple strands. Oh look a split end!

 
Picture 5 - Dead moth's eye. GROSS!


Picture 6 - Decomposing ant body is just so narly!

The Butterfly Who Wouldn't Leave

My daughter received clothes for a review from Kidpik last month so we headed outside for a photoshoot. We we down to the last piece which was a dress when she spotted a butterfly. She put her finger next to it on the grass and it hopped on. We think it was a new hatchling because it spent about 25-30 minutes walking on her until she finally placed it on our bridge and walked away. I really need to play with these shots in editing but I love them so much. It was a beautiful moment!


The kiss good-bye

Dilly Duck Takes A Shower

This is Dilly! Dilly was one many duck babies but when they were being picked off by predators my friend took Dilly inside. So for now Dilly lives in her house until she is a little more prepared to run when in danger.

Dilly loves baths obviously! Look at that face.

All clean and puffed up after drying

The Good, The Random And the Fun


The Good would be my daughter and her friends spending time together over the summer (yes I know it is a winter tablecloth but it is what I have). I had received a face point review and the girls spent some time playing with the paint and decorating each other. If I could have hand picked my daughter's friends I would have chosen these girls to be my daughters middle school friends. Not a mean bone among them. They are so supportive of each other.


The Random would be this crazy egg butt. I opened a Jumbo egg into the pan and it had double yokes. I've seen this many times before but thought this one looked like a butt or maybe I am watching too much Naked and Afraid.


The Fun is all about these beautiful children. My kids and their friend Jewel or I should say my friend's daughter have known each other for 9 years. They are like siblings when they hang together. Love their faces!

Go Bold With Your Nails This Summer By Showing Your Pride = Sinful Colors


This box of nail polish is so fun! I am not a nail person mostly because I hate sitting waiting for them to dry but love looking at other's nails. As soon as this box came in, I couldn't wait to paint my nails and have played with the colors over the past three weeks. Sinful colors has some of the best coverage ever, the most fun names and hellooooo look at these colors. My product reviews look much nicer with color on my nails.
