Glamping!!!!!!
Hard to believe but I have never gone camping in my entire life!!!!! Sleeping in a tent was not my idea of fun,lol!!!! My daughter and her family wanted to do a camping trip at Devil's Lake ,Wi state park and invited us.My boys were excited to try something different so we went. We shopped around for the perfect tent and we found a 8-10 person tent that had two dividers to turn it into 3 rooms. We also bought air mattresses to sleep on!!!! Yeah ,to my hubby for upgrading ours to a super comfy one!!!!
We also brought our two dogs Scruffy and Lola.Scruffy is a huge Rottweiler mix and Lola is a (princess) long haired chihuahua.They loved it and behaved so well.The trails for hiking reminded us of our trip to Maui,Hawaii.That was my favorite part of the trip.So my first experience was more of glamping since we wanted a site with electric.I loved it and we are definitely going back soon!!!!!! Maybe next time we will have have a 
cute airstream trailer to glamp in!!!!

Makeup!!!!
I have always loved makeup.I have been playing with it since I was 3 or 4 years old,lol!!!! I was always the girl that put makeup on my friends and family. I have gone through phases of wearing makeup and then being to busy to bother with it.Life happens but we rediscover our passions again!!!!!! My latest discovery is makeup videos on youtube!!!!! Who knew you could watch makeup reviews,techniques,dupes for pricey brands,etc. So with watching all the videos I have been learning new techniques and practicing on myself!!!!! There are so many more items available to get a flawless look. Face primers,eye primers,and with getting older(shhhhh) sunscreen is my new thing!!!!! I am buying new supplies slowly(need new brushes) and having fun trying out new products.So here are some photos from last week after trying out some new make up techniques!!!!! Also I have bangs again!!!! I feel like my hair was looking blah so I wanted something a little different without cutting my hair off!!!!!

Birthday party
Last Sunday we went to a friend's daughter's birthday party.We have been so busy lately it is almost ridiculous!! It was a nice family outing and I love an excuse to dress up. I woke up early to wash,dry and style my hair but the weather was so hot and humid ,my hair just fell flat.Don't you hate when that happens!?! Oh well ,at least my outfit was perfect in the heat.It was a fun party for the boys and this year they got their face painted.The girl who painted the kids faces was so patient and everyone turned out great!!!! I am looking forward to July because we have a few weekends off from work and I hope we can relax and enjoy the summer.Here are photos from Sunday.

Strawberry picking!!!!
We finally went strawberry picking!!!! This is the first time we went to a pick any fruit and it was so much fun!!!!! We really don't live far from the strawberry farm and have past it a million times. My husband finally said we should go pick strawberries!!!! we have been eating more fruit lately so it made sense to pick the fruit we are eating. We took the boys ,their friend Jacob and our daughter Paloma and her family.We ended up picking 7 boxes of strawberries so everyone took some home to their families.My boys had so much fun and I did too!! It was actually addictive .It was hard to stop picking once your box was full,lol!!! We went yesterday and at first it was raining but once it cleared up the farms website said they were open for picking.They laid straw over the mud so you didn't get too dirty but Paloma and her baby were all covered in mud!!! My hubby wore flip flops and got stuck in a few places.It was an adventure and the whole family wants to go again.I came home and washed two boxes of strawberries and froze them for my protein shakes.We still have two huge boxes to snack on so that is a lot of strawberries.We will definitely go back before the season is over.here are a few photos of the day at the farm.

Laptop fixed!!!!
So I finally have my laptop fixed !!!!! I noticed that I haven't blogged since it crashed ,it just wasn't in the budget to get it fixed.I have an ipad and a desktop but for some reason it is easier to write from my laptop!!!! We have been doing a lot around here with projects some planned and some "emergency" as in pipes leaking ,water all over dining room projects.I left off my last post with painting the kitchen cabinets.I am happy to report I love how they turned out!!! Who knew paint and new hardware would upgrade the look of the kitchen so well!!!!
I suspected they would but seeing is believing!!! I only have photos from my instagram but will take more kitchen shots after I have time to clean the kitchen. I also painted the sink cabinets a refresher coat of red and I love how it turned out,of course now I need to buy more sage green paint and retouch up the rest of the kitchen.
I also added a decorative liner paper inside the cabinet drawers,I have one more drawer to go!!!!!
