Say Hello to Sarah! (Guest Post)

I want you all to meet a pretty special lady today.
Here name is Sarah and she hails from Silly Incantations.
She is so incredibly ADORABLE and I love to get caught up in her blog.

So without further ado....here is Sarah!
************************************************************************
Well hey there lovelies!

My name is Sarah and I blog over at a little place called

Silly Incantations .

I am so excited to be here today with all you fun gals!

I was so excited when Jen asked me to guest post for you guys.

She is such a sweetheart!!

Anywhoos let's get a little better acquainted!

Thats me!

I am 23 years old and currently a substitute teacher. I graduated last December
with a degree in Elementary Education.

I am extremely outgoing and love being around people. I am trying to be more of
a crafty Cathy and DIY my little apartment all up. I love having a good time
which includes a night out with the ladies or a glass (or two) of wine on
the couch watching reality tv... Real Housewives, duh.

Oh and that handsome fellow is my boyfriend caleb.
He is a doll and makes an appearance on the blog
here and there.

Now here a few more things about me--

I LOVE my family.

My little sister emily and I

My mom & Dad

I don't have smart phone. I am still hanging out in the 1200's
and cannot instagram, receive picture messages or get on facebook.

My favorite season is Spring. I love everything about the weather getting a little
warmer. Pastels, flowers blooming and of course that much closer to summer.

I cannot get enough of E-cards.
here are a few favorites..

Another Monday

Hello Lovelies!

Confession Friday

It's Friday!

WHAT WHAT!!

So, excited for the weekend even though we don't really have anything planned.

I am getting my hair colored tomorrow though...kinda excited for that. 

Anyways.....onto my confessions:

I confess I am not being very productive today and frankly I don't care. 

I confess I have an obsession with needing to always have my nails painted. I hate having naked nails (I did do this today).

this is the color I chose and I love it!

I confess I haven't had soda in a long time but I feel like giving in today. I could really go for a cold Pepsi.

I confess I am so looking forward to next weekend. Holiday Happenings in our hometown. Gets me sooooo excited for Christmas!!!

I confess I just bought tickets for the Twilight:Breaking Dawn showing next Thursday. Whose excited?!?! This girl is.

I confess I love ecards! I could waste endless amounts of time reading them.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!

XO-Jen

Wine and Dancin'

Hello blogger friends!

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything but that is because my life has been a crazy mess lately! However, now I get a little break so I am able to get back to some bloggin', which makes this girl very happy.

So, today I am going to do Confession Friday (even though it is Saturday)!!! I wanted to participate yesterday but I didn't get the chance to....so here it is.

I confess I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my family! Last night, we all went to The Barrens winery in Perryville, MO and we had a wonderful time! Here are some pics.

How awesome is my famliy!?!

I confess I miss these two a ton! Love them both.

My little brother and sister. Noah was Luigi for Halloween. How adorable?!?

I confess I am stressed out/overwhelmed but I need to realize that everything happens for a reason and be patient.

I confess I am so freaking excited for Christmas! I also cannot wait for the Red Bud Holiday Happenings. It really gets me in the Holiday spirit.

I am totally going to try and do this to our front door. Love!

I confess I miss my walks with Lara (and the boys) and Cooper! It is just getting to cold that we can't do it anymore. I guess now we will just have to get together and drink some wine. Yum-o!

These kids are so darn cute!

That is all I have for now. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Games, Parties, and Decor

Hello Lovelies!!!

Since I haven't blogged in a while...blame my studying....it is consuming all of my time, I figured I would show you some pictures of what my lift has consisted of lately.

Love me some Instagram. You can follow me at jmlangrehr. Hola!

 

Friday nights game! So sad we lost.

 Alli came home for the game. Missed her!

All the pics of us were blurry...stupid iphone....or maybe it is the operator. :)

Right before Lara got into trouble...haha!

Cop told her she couldn't stand on the chair. She laughed in his face. What now?!?!

Our lawyer was there to tell the cop what was up.

Max's Birthday Party! It was so cute.

The cake pops were AMAZEBALLS! In case you couldn't tell, Lara did a monster theme....Max's Monster Mash....get it?! She is so clever.

My outside Halloween decor. I know it is kind of pathetic but I haven't had anytime to decorate. I couldn't even go to the Pumpkin Patch so my mom and sister picked up a pumpkin for me. 

 

This next week, I will not be blogging at all since my test is coming up and I need all the time I can get. I will be back soon!

Weekend Update

Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.

Why are they never long enough?!?

Here is what my weekend consisted of:

 Friday: I studied all day until about 5 and then the hubs and I headed over to my mom's house for supper. It was delicious!! We had Pasta con Broccoli with hot rolls and a salad. YUM-O!!! Emily and Nick came home to, which was great, and Emily had made a pumpkin dessert from the night before which was the BOMB!! The dessert did not disappoint.

 

 Click on the picture above for the recipe. Soooooooo good!

**Also note that my sis mixed yellow cake mix with pumpkin filing instead of just the devil's food cake but this is the closest recipe that I could find. 

 When we got home from my mom and dad's, Andrew decided to go uptown to my mother's workout place and run on the treadmill while I decided to stay home and watch a movie....this sentence in general just makes me laugh. Yes, I know....pretty pathetic. I totally should have worked out because the movie was HORRIBLE!! I watched "The Cabin in the Woods" and it was awful. Take my word for it and do not rent it!

Saturday: Andrew and I worked on the next room in the house and got everything taped off and torn down so that it would be ready to paint. After we finished with the room, Andrew worked on the attic some more while I studied and then around 3:30 we left for Dane and Haley's wedding at the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, IL.

The wedding was beautiful and they had such wonderful weather for it. It was an outdoor wedding at 4 with the reception immediately following. The decorations were gorgeous and the food was excellent. So much fun!

Sunday: Andrew and I went to early church and then headed to McDonald's for some breakfast. Not our usual first choice for breakfast but we needed some Monopoly pieces!! haha! Andrew is totally addicted to this. Needless to say though, we did not get the ones we needed. We will just have to keep trying. :)

We came home and then got ready to head to Chester for my Grandma's Birthday. It was a lot of fun and it was a perfect day for Chili and Hot Dogs! We returned home to a freshly painted bedroom (courtesy of our fabulous Aunt Sharon...thank you again) but I should have tested the color first because it turned out more blue then I expected. I was wanting more of a lighter, gray shade and I picked a darker, charcoal color. IDIOT! So, I felt horrible but I told Aunt Sharon that we are going to repaint it since it wasn't exactly the color I wanted (i know....i am picky). We are so thankful for your help though, Aunt Sharon!!!

Here are some of the gray's that I like and will try next:

   **granite dust

 

I am just really nervous about picking out a gray again because I do not want it to look blue or green or whatever....I would like it to look GRAY! :)

That is all.

Talk to you later lovelies!

Oh, how pinteresting...

I haven't linked up in a while.
 

Plus I am drawing a blank on what to write about so....

Here are some of my favorites pins lately (plus some other pics):

I am easily amused but this saying literally had me laughing for a couple of minutes (husband was like, "what the heck is wrong with you?")

 

I just need this. :)

 

French Toast Breakfast Muffins....need I say more.

 

Bought similar lipstick and this lip gloss and I love it!

Lipstick: Sky Line Pink (Wal-Mart)

Lip Gloss: Peach Petal (Wal-Mart)

 

Saw this little gem on Total Basset Case blog and now I really wanna try it.

Love me some Heath Bar! 

 

Saw this on The Magnolia Pair and really wanna copy. Perfect time for a fire pit!

That is all for now! Hope you're enjoying your week. Cannot wait for the weekend!
