(A More Real) Love Story

I laughed really hard at this video - I think this does a good job describing the challenges us mom's of young kids have to keep romance alive - I hope everyone enjoys this video - and today is the last day to enter my give away (look for previous post titled "I know I'm not Oprah but..."

and leave me a comment and a way to get a hold of you in case you win! Hope you all have a good day & God bless all mom's and mother in-laws that occassionally watch our kids so that we get a night out!

I know I'm not Oprah but....

I know I'm not Oprah but..... here is a few of my Favorite things this last few months:

Favorite relaxing thing: Spa comfort eye pillows

You can get this on Amazon (I purchased mine at a local spa) but "I love it!!" I heat this pillow up in the microwave for about 45-50 seconds then lay on top of my eyes as I relax or try to go to sleep - heaven!!!

My second favorite thing of the summer: If you missed the season finale of "Modern Family" stop what you are doing and go watch this episode!

This last episode is so funny!! Especially from a "mom's point of view" whenever you find yourself harping, being a little obsessive, trying to be perfect, or get your family to be perfect - you just have to watch this - be prepared to laugh!!! Especially if you tried to take a family picture this year on the beach!!!

The third favorite thing of mine: being a "non morning kinda of gal" I just love how a cool hat, and shades can get a mom through the car line for back 2 school in style!!!

My fourth favorite thing is my handy dandy drink:

Yep, that's right I love Happy Hour at Sonic, and my favorite is a "vanilla diet Dr. Pepper"

My fifth favorite thing this summer is the new TV show "Rubicon" on AMC:

Such a good thriller!!!!! It will keep you on your toes, and looking over your shoulder!

My very favorite movie of the summer had to be: "letters to Juliet"

Which I will go into more details "why" on tomorrow's post.

I hope you all enjoyed your summer, and your "back to school" has started off on a good foot!!
