Sh*t Men Say {Link Up #2} *

So it’s the Second Tuesday of the month and I can’t lie when I say that I’ve been anxiously awaiting this link up all week. Amanda over at Voyage Of The MeeMee & Danae over at Duh! Danae! have kicked off their 2nd ever “Sh*t Men Say” Link Up! It’s a fun filled Tuesday to say the least and it’s the most entertaining of ways to make fun of your man. . . or some man . . . any man really.

With out further ado I present you some of the most manly stupid things my husband has mentioned in his #Twitterverse since last month . . . .

Pj’s dream (along with 1/2 of his friends) is to one day be an Olympian. A Olympic Curler rather, but anyway you hash it, an Olympic Athlete. While I outwardly laugh (very loudly) at him and his friends for this ambitious and unrealistic goal, I  do however pride myself in having a man with such passion and perseverance. While none of them have yet to actually pick up a curling stick, it’s not entirely impossible they obtain this goal in the next 2 decades as some of the U.S. Curlers only started the sport in 2009. #5YearOlympicPlan #WhatTheHell?

This is the point in which men (from all walks of life) outwardly express their frustration with Olympic classification. It’s okay hunny, I don’t know what the difference is either.

I think (and hope) this was in reference to cooking his 5lb tube of over processed burger meat for his annual “Super Bowl Sloppy Joes”.  If only I had set up live wire during the annual 9 hours of “Man Time” AKA our Super Bowl Party, I could honestly write an entire blog on Sh*t Men Say daily. . . . for the next 3 Years. #YChromosomes.

I’m sure this was in reference to when PJ and his father attended the Red Wings game back in January. . . . while men try to sympathize with the other “poor saps” during such horrific events, it’s apparently forgotten that they too have their moments. It is however unfortunate that this female was found to be not “hot” . . . indeed Poor Sap. #PoorPoorSap

So there you have it- A few of my favorite monthly updates on the Man in my life and the Shit that he Says! If you’re looking for a fun little Tuesday tradition to get in on, I highly suggest popping over to these ladies Link Ups and partaking on the fun! It’s always fun to poke a little fun!

So stop what you’re doing (or not doing) and link your shit up, it’s bound to make your afternoon a little lighter with a lot of laughter! #TrustMe. If not, good luck to you on all your mid-week endeavors (I hope you fall off a cliff). #YepIJustSaidThat.  Happy Tuesday!

Cheers!

Free Valentine Prints! *

So typically I’m not a huge fan of “V-day”. To be honest, all I’ve ever hoped for was an excuse to get my hands on some chocolate covered strawberries. . . . like seriously. As if I couldn’t eat them any other day of the year, V-day is an excuse to eat not only 3 or 4, but a dozen. All at once. #NoShame. Hell I don’t even care for the fancy ones, I’ll make them myself. Just buy me some Dolci Frutta and I’ll dip those babies myself. . . . damn, then I can eat a whole pint of berries! You think I’m lying? Ask my husband (or anyone that lived with me in college), shit’s not even normal.

Anyhow, in honor of the people that DO care about such a worthless Hallmark Holiday, I’ve decided to provide you all with some free prints for the special occasion. A “V-day” gift from me to you- I typically sell prints on my Etsy Page but in honor of such a stupid romantic holiday, I decided to “share the love” so feel free to print these little monsters out and decorate the shit out of your homes. #ThankMeLater.

FREE V-day Prints

All of these prints are placed on a chalkboard backdrop for that rustic, charming feel I know you’re all going for. . . Or at least I was, when I made them. If you hate them, I’m sorry. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait until “V-Day” 2015 for my next installment of love. But seriously, LIKE THEM!

Friday Favorites: We MUST Talk About Baby Humans *

So it’s Friday. Last night my father messaged me on Facebook (Yes, he’s that tech savvy apparently), and he informed me that upon stalking my name on google (He must do this often because as tech savvy as he is, he’s also paranoid from time to time- which aren’t all people over the age of 40 working around the internet?) he came across my blog. #Busted. I totally haven’t started sharing this nonsense with my friends and family yet because, well, I’m lost. I don’t know what the hell I’m even doing on here but so far I’m satisfied. And that’s all that matters. ME. I also haven’t begun sharing because it’s something I want to be not a fucking shit show “well established” once I let my outside world in. I need a flow, or a theme or something people actually care about? I don’t even know. I’m just rambling. 

I then started to think about what weekly routines I want to start on my blog. Something that can perhaps gauge interest or become a fun tradition for people to get involved in? I guess that my first idea was Friday Favorites. Everyone loves Fridays, it’s just common knowledge. Why not make them even better by spending my morning talking about some of my favorite things? (No Matter HOW Random They May Be). I mean who doesn’t want to make a great day greater? And even if your Friday may be going to hell, you can get online and read, share and laugh in the randomness that makes my world spin. It’s all I could think of so far, besides that I should probably make a point to do my “Creative Chaos” posts on Thursdays because that’s when I typically attempt something random around my house. I then realized at this point that I would be holding myself more accountable to this blog. #Shit. While I have limited followers and absolutely no idea how to gauge an interest in my boring little life, I think this is the correct direction to be heading in. Plus I’m all about organization so I mine as well get this blog in order since my life is anything but. 

Baby Humans 1

With that being said, I would like to spend this first ♥Friday Favorites♥ talking about Baby Humans. Baby Humans are defined by me as: a small baby or toddler that is dressed like an adult, teen or someone in their 90s. Over all they are mature in image and underdeveloped in reality. Probably the cutest things to grace the planet. While they may rock that Burberry scarf and Lacoste sweater, they are secretly unrolling your toilet paper around the corner. It couldn’t be more practical. They make my life. While I pin these little creatures left and right, I’ve taken a few moments to share my absolute favorite photos of these adorable little minis and conclude with some Baby Gap outfits (My Personal Downfall- Baby Clothes Shopping) that will thus result in me continuing to dress my own mini as a Baby Human. I can’t wait! Lets get this started.

* I’m slightly more partial to the Baby Human women as I have a girl of my own but I’ve managed to find some absolutely fabulous mini men as well. . . Please Enjoy. Also note, these photos are NOT mine and a source link is provided upon clicking each photo. I would also like to personally thank the Photographers, Bloggers, and Etsy Owners that took the time to dress these Little Humans and photograph them for my viewing pleasure. I ♥!

Baby Humans Take One: 

Baby Human 18

Unreal Cuteness. The Hat- Coat- Scarf – Leggings & TEDDY. 

Baby Human 17

The Fringe Boots & Sweater. OMG. 

Baby Human 16

Baby Converse Are My Heart. Paige received them from a good friend, Tiffany when she was one. I died. 

Baby Human 15

Paige is obsessed with cat shirts, so is mom. I find them hilarious – I’m not even a cat person. This rocker chick look with the sling bag, adorbs! 

Baby Human - 19

The striped tank and headband with those cat-eye glasses. I adore the retro look on all ages. 

Baby Human 23

This kid could be the Beebs. Not even sure, all I know is I want Paige to date him. #ThatScarf

Baby Human 14

This little nugget needs to put some shoes on, BUT I’m in love with this dress. . . oh and her hair? I’ve been working 28 years to perfect my locks, she’s already got this. 

Baby Human 13

Babies with purses #IDie. Those flats and the headband, rocking a jean top. I love this. 

Baby Human 12

Ok the cable sweater and headband, I want to be in her clique. No joke. 

Baby Humans 27

THIS HAT. #KentuckyDerbyBaby

Baby Human 24

If this baby is real life, I don’t know how to deal. He’s the cutest little nugget man ever!

HATS. Vintage Suit. I want to read this baby a book. 

Baby Human 26

Riding boots on anything under 3 feet is just the cutest thing a person can witness. . . . enough said.

Baby Humans 3

Baby Cali. Love these shades. 

Baby Humans 5

That tunic sweater is a must have for ALL ages. So sweet. 

Baby Human 25

Ok, this little mini needs her own magazine cover. I seriously want to give her a camera and a Laberdoodle and she’s set for life. #BeachBum

Baby Human 21

Peeptoe flats. What the hell. She’s too cute for words. #NeonPrincess And again with the purses. WHY so cute?!

Baby Humans 7

This Dress – I need the pattern. It’s to die. Baby Maxi – Who knew~?

Before I forget – My Own Baby Human! ♥

Ok So There Is That. My ♥Friday Favorites♥ of Baby Humans. I would like to sincerely thank the photographers again and advise all the people who purchased this baby attire to please forward me all links as to where I can purchase. I actually want for myself as well but I’ll settle for dressing vicariously through my daughter. . . which has presented a large issue during my “Retail Therapy” sessions. #OoOops. 

Lastly, I will give you a small dose of my future purchasing conquest. . . as I seldom open emails from GAP (because I know I will cave under their Baby Human cuteness pressure – Oh and the 40% coupons), I have accidentally stumbled across their new spring Baby Human line. . . . it’s all must have. #NoLie. I’ve collected some of my personal faves. . . I hope Paige agrees. 

Baby Gap Ensemble

So with that I will conclude my first ♥Friday Favorites♥! I am not gonna lie, this post made my morning already. It’s kinda nice to switch it up from the constant “Things That Drive Me Crazy” posts or the “Guilty As Charged” sessions. . . Just post what makes you happy- some of your favorites!! Love me some Baby Humans and now I can’t wait for 5-0’clock!

Do any of you have children? What are some of your favorite places to shop? I Love New Ideas!!! 

Also, Feel free to comment a few of your favorite things! – Get in on the action, I love the positivity (& Humor) this instills in my Friday! 

Cheers!

“In Golf, As In Life. . . . . *

. . .It Is The Follow Through That Makes The Difference.” – Author Unknown.

Love Golf Ball

Today is Sneak Peak day into my OBSESSION with the game of golf. What sparks this post you say? Oh I dunno. . . . how about the BEST birthday present a Wifey could ask for!! That’s right ladies. . . my husband knows me very well. While it’s currently snowing mind you- no seriously look at a radar for Detroit, I am still very much excited for the season to begin. With golf shows just around the corner and my office ramping up for the 2014 season, it’s no surprise that I’m already anticipating that first sweet, summer round! With all this being said. . . I present you the happiest birthday present I could have asked for- “The Pink Princess”.

Cobra Amp Cell Driver

Cobra Amp Cell Face

Cobra Amp Cell Head

Cobra Grips

Pink Princess – AKA The Cobra Amp Cell Driver with MyFly Technology. Adjustable trajectory and distance, this beautiful little monster can adjust your drive loft anywhere from 11.5-14.5 degrees with additional draw capabilities.  This driver also features SmartPad technology which delivers a square face at address regardless of loft setting and E9 technologies frees up additional weight for a 12% larger effective face, delivering faster ball speeds on mis-hits. Basically in English this thing is as powerful as it is SEXY. 

While I’m a little nervous to transition back to a Ladies Driver, I can’t help but be ecstatic over this colorful bundle of joy. While senior shafts (Golf Lingo Ladies – Lets Not Go Down That Road #GetYourHeadOutOfTheGutter) are typically my go to for the past 9 years, I have become especially fond of the colorful selections that PUMA Golf has put together in the last few seasons -Thanks Ricki Fowler, Your Colorful Attire Makes My Life. Of course colorful clubs shall never undermine your selection process, it’s only fair that I dabble in the market! I’ve hit the same TaylorMade R5 Driver since 2004 – That’s Right, When the Pistons won the Championship (That’s How I Paid For The Bad Boy) and it’s literally about time (more like 3 seasons ago) that I got a new driver. While my putter and irons are only a few season old, I’ve had a rather difficult time deciding on what to do about my #1. . . always teetering back and forth between Ladies and Men’s. Both have their upsides and downsides. Knowing I was bound to have a case of insta-gret immediately following the purchase, it was never made.

Ricki Fowler

Thank goodness PJ decided for me and got me something I truly adore. . . . sometimes the best gifts are the things you would never buy yourself! I am both confident and excited to get to the range and master the “Pink Princess”. It’s been a long while since I smashed a Chicky-Poo Wood but I can’t wait to get back at it. I literally have stared at this thing +5 minutes every day since it’s been gifted to me and my doubts of flex and loft have quickly been pushed aside by Pink-on-Pink-on-Pink. I even purchased some girly pink balls to match. . . . who knew?! (Typically you will NEVER see me buy girly balls, I find them annoying and feel that typically only the worst women golfers make such a purchase. . . . but this is a special occasion.) PLUS I’ll be confidently out-driving all the boys. . . . with a pink ball. #GeeImRealSorry #HowEmbarassingForYou. #SorryNotSorry.

Pink Callaway Balls

Are any of you golfers? Would you like to learn?

I would love to help give pointers and hope to someday have a Ladies Golf Blog for all those interested in learning the game, learning the lingo. . . . .or hell, just learning golf cart “drinking etiquette”- Something any and all women should learn. A total game changer! #PlusThatShitIsFun!

For the Love of Golf

Thanks again husband, it was a wonderful Birthday as always and I can’t wait for the snow to melt! 

Cheers!
