It's that time of year again. Here it is 3:30 am, and I am sneezing my brains out. We just had a foot and a half of snow melt, and semi warm temps. That brings out all the growing grass, trees budding, flowers popping up.
I am not looking forward to this weekend. It is supposed to be high pollen count. My allergy meds are not working like they should.
So how many of you suffer from allergies, and what do you do to cope? This year, it seems like I am going to need lots of Excedrin Migraine and Claritin! lol
Hello everyone! It has been awhile, since I have posted here. I have been super busy. I want to get back to posting on my blog again. I miss writing. How have you all been? It's almost tornado season. It's one of my favorite times of the year. I will be posting some videos, and pictures this year. I have a really nice camera now. I hope to talk to you all more soon. :)
Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel My mom is driving me crazy. I mean, she’s super helpful and I know she means well but planning this wedding with her on my heels is making my life a living you know what. I think that by the time I’m married and all this is said and done I’m going to be lucky if she’s even speaking to me anymore! I’m her only child so she’s always really babied me but now that she’s helping me plan the wedding and she’s paying for the whole thing, too, she thinks she has say over everything I do. My fiancé and I just bought a condo and we’re really excited about making it our own but she’s already made it clear what color we should paint the baseboards and what kind of couch we should get. Just the other day I was on www.electriccompaniesindallas.com and she started looking over my shoulder telling me to click this and don’t click that. She acted like she was the only person in the world who knew anything about signing us up for utilities! I know she’s only trying to help but sometimes mom can just be a bit overbearing and it’s hard to argue with her. She gets really defensive if you ask her to back off and since she’s the one who cares so much about this wedding I know it would kill her if I told her to take a step back. I know she wants the best for me and for my fiancé but at the end of the day it’s our celebration and it’s certainly our money that went into buying the condo. If she doesn’t wise up and realize that soon enough I’m probably going to have to tell her what I think of her recent actions and she’s going to be none too happy. Moms are the best – unless they’re being the worst, am I right? What can you do about it.

I was recently contacted by Gourmet Gift Baskets, to do a review and giveaway on their awesome brownies. I can never say no to chocolate. :) These are some of the best brownies, I have ever had. They were a big hit, in the house. We had 6 different brownies in the sampler. Here are the brownies, that were sent to me.
·Belgian Chocolate Chunk
·White Chocolate Macadamia Blonde
·Butterscotch Blonde
·Cheesecake
·Peanut Butter
·Fudge Walnut
These brownies were very moist and chewy. My favorites out of the whole bunch, were the ones that weren't chocolate surprisingly. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the Butterscotch Blondie. I want more, now that I am thinking about them! LOL. It had a deep butterscotch and buttery flavor. Oh it was sooo good.
My second favorite was the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. Macadamia's are one of my favorite nuts, and I love them in brownies. These were to die for. So moist and chewy, with an awesome crunch.
The other brownies, went to others in my family, and they gobbled them all up. So I guess they were a hit!

I was approached by Beazers Garden to do a review of their shop. She has so many great items, that it was hard to choose from. I chose an Herbal Soap Sampler. It has 4 cute little soaps. I had a great time using them all.
First of all I tried the Sweet & Fresh soap. It sure was both it has a beautiful smell and great lather. It is a combination of lemongrass and jasmine, two of my favorite scents.
Second was Cupids Call. It has this beautiful aroma of roses and clove. It is a very pretty unique smell. I really liked this one. I used it on Valentines Day. :)
Third was Rejuvenating Deluxe. It is a combination of Lavender, Geranium, and Rose. They all smell so nice together.
Lastly was Soft Musk. I really love this one. It is a combination of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Lavender. I have to say this one was my favorite. Musk is one of my all time favorites.
These soaps were very moisturizing, and left a great scent on my skin. I am planning on buying more soon. I think they would be great for a Mothers Day gift.
Beazers Garden has so much more than just soap. She has bath salts, lotions, massage oils, and so much more. I really like her shop. I had a hard time picking what I wanted. There are lots of spa bath and body scents, that would be great for gifts.
Here are the numerous ways you can visit Beazers Garden.
