FRIDAY FAVORITES - Sleeping Beauty

We headed to Marion, Kansas this morning to pick up a round baler. We drove there going 70 mph and came home doing 45 mph! It was so slow going that Mr. Baseball decided to take a snooze . . .








He woke up, pushed his hat up and said, "My eyebrows are asleep!"



Never heard that before!




Have a wonderful weekend! We're headed to another HS Rodeo!





Be blessed~

Answers to All My Forehead Wo's by my friend, Karma!

In order to keep your forehead from getting sunburned while still remaining a fashionista, here are my beauty tips:

1. Sunscreen :P
2. Those gigantic sunglasses you tried on at Claires. They covered your entire head.
3. A stretchy 1970s running headband. Retro and functionable.
4. A bandana. Pick your gang color.
5. Recycle one of your winter scarfs. The gypsy look is always a bold choice.
6. Go pirate. Think Jack Sparrow goes cowgirl.
7. Turbans. A very under-appreciated hat.
8. A hijab. Every seen a Muslim woman's sunburned forehead? Me either.
9. Sombreros with a chin strap not only shade your entire body, but you can bling it out to your heart's content.
10. Find a larger person and sit in their shadow.

Hope these tips help! With the right accessories and a dose of confidence any woman can rock these looks. Enjoy baseball season!! :D

KEEPING IT REAL - the FOREHEAD . . .

What is it about the forehead?



If you have a good one, wearing the hair off your face is liberating, exhilerating, FREEDOM!




If you have a "not-so-good" one, like mine, wearing your hair pulled off your face is exposure, vulnerability, and flat out forbidden!!





Well, Kansas wind was blowing like crazy on Saturday and I came home from Bo's baseball tournament feeling like I had eaten baseball field dirt all day. Went to scrub my face thinking I was going to get a free exfoliation treatment and when I went to wash my forehead . . . YOWZA! Sunburn!!


My forehead never gets sunburned . . . it is always protected by my bangs!




So, here is a picture of me and my forehead in all it's glory while the Kansas wind blew. You can't see the sunburn but you can see the puckered look as I try not to eat ballfield dirt!






Good heavens, somebody stop the wind!! And for Pete's Sake, cover up that forehead!




I guess we can't be beauty queens all the time!

Mackie

This is my sister-n-law, Mackie!



She just graduated yesterday from college and I am so proud of her. She is now a certified narcotics addiction counselor!

What can be said about Mackie? She took the ugly in her life, fought against it, overcame it, and now uses her experience for God's glory! Alot of her life, I just couldn't understand and was ready to give up on her several times, but God didn't. Look at her now, beautiful, healthy, CLEAN for quite a while, and ready to move forward with her message!

How exciting is that!!

I love you, Mackie!

Yesterday was so beautiful that I neglected the inside and spent all day outside! So, the Monday Madness begins!




The good thing is that the Kansas wind has settled down and this is what my clothesline looks like so far . . .











Yes . . . those are all mine. A girl can never have too many!!
