A little Witchy Catch-Up

Hey there, Witchie-Poos. I’m sorry its been so long since my last post. I’ve been dealing with a lot right now. Things have been super duper crazy.

Lets see, I’ve celebrated one nieces’ birthday….

And my own! Yay!!!! I turned 34, which is pretty awesome. 33 was my scary year and it honestly wasn’t very scary… I look forward to what 34 brings.

Fourth of July of course, rocked heavily.

I seriously love the Fourth!

Had my first rounds of fried green tomatoes and fried eggplant. Both were super yummy! I’m thinking my second round of fried green tomatoes will be happening today. As well as some spaghetti squash from my step-mother in law.

Got to take a few pics of the cutest little Mandrake ever.

And I got some pics taken myself… Which is highly unusual.

I’ve been enjoying my garden. My morning glories have finally started blooming, as well as my sunflowers.

We also said good bye to a very special piece of history here in Independence. A week or so ago, they tore down the Grand Stand at the stadium here in town. It was the last vestige of a grand time in baseball history. People sat in these stands and watched as history was being made when the first night game of professional baseball was held. They watched as Mickey Mantle worked his way to stardom, starting out at the bottom and working his way up.

And now it has been reduced to a pile of rubble.

A whole piece of history has been demolished.

I also celebrated another niece’s birthday…

And took advantage of having most of the cousins together (dirty feets and all).

I’m constructing a Doctor Who inspired lap rug. I’ve got five of twelve blocks done!

And soon… One of the hardest things of all… We’ll be missing my mother in law come August 10th. It doesn’t seem like she’s been gone long.

All in all, it’s been a great summer. The kids have grown leaps and bounds. My oldest minion is now as tall as I am and is still growing. I wish I could stop time. They are starting the 7th and 5th grades respectively in just a few short weeks.

That leaves just me. I honestly don’t know if I will continue blogging. It doesn’t seem like anyone reads my blog and I don’t know how to change that, really. Any help is appreciated.

I’ll be updating the indie list over the next few days and hope to have some reviews for you soon as my nails are in fabulous shape. I miss you, my wonderful Witchie-Poos!

Influenster TLC VoxBox unboxing

Thanks to Influenster I got another awesome VoxBox!

What’s Influenster you might ask? It’s a social media-driven program where people with a high influence rating are sent boxes of goodies to review and experience in return for their honest opinions.

What’s a VoxBox? It’s the box of goodies I just mentioned. They’re filled with awesome items and sometimes coupons with items that can help you in your normal, every day lives.

This VoxBox RULED!

The moment of unboxing!!!

Oooo what ever could be inside??!

The first item out of the box is this awesome little Neosporin Neo-To-Go ($4.97-$7.50). It provides protection plus pain relief right on the spot. As a busy mom of two I’m in constant need of something like this, thus it made its home in my purse!

I also received this awesome vintage packaged bar of Ivory soap ($3.99 for a 10 pack), the soap we used to use when I was younger. I love its gentle scent and it’s uncanny knack of getting rid of even the most stubborn dirt and stains on your hands. Works just as good as Lava soap, only not as harsh!

Another gem that headed straight for my purse for those unruly sniffles was a to-go pack of Puffs Plus Lotion tissues ($0.49 per single pack). I use these a LOT in the summer as hay fever and allergies kick my booty almost daily.

Next up is Avon Anew Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother ($30). It states that it blurs the look of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes instantly. Now I bet this is an awesome product, but unfortunately I can’t use it. I’m really allergic to pretty much every Avon cosmetic product :/ But you can go to AVON.com and receive 15% off your Anew purchase of $50 or more with the code ANEW15 !!! This code is valid until 8/1/14!

Next up is a Shell Fuel Rewards Network Card, which is a free loyalty program that helps you save money on fuel. For a limited time, members can save 25 cents per gallon on their second fill up and 3 cents every time after!! How groovy is that?? Unfortunately, I don’t have any Shell stations around here, so this will be going to my dad lol.

Last but not least I received a coupon for a free Breyers Gelato Indulgences ($4.49-$5.99). I could not WAIT to get this!!! But, as per usual, Walmart was out of them the two times I went to go get them. But, third time is a charm and I was able to get the Vanilla Caramel Indulgences!

I had never had gelato before, so I was a bit apprehensive. I sat down with a New Girl marathon and dove in and OMG. It is FANTASTIC. Its like sin in a cup!!!

The creamy, silky gelato was swirled with decadent caramel and topped in crunchy caramel shavings. It was so rich!!! It took me (and my husband, mom and daughter Biscuit) five days to finish it. By then I was hooked. I’m buying the chocolate next.

You can find Breyers Gelato Indulgences wherever Breyers products are sold!

This was a terrific VoxBox! If you’d like to know how you could receive awesome FREE goodies, just leave a comment with your email address and I will send you an invite!!!
