Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

My sister-in-law texted me the words "It's a boy!" today, which means that I will have a brand new nephew in November.

I could not be more excited...

Or more tempted to purchase tiny blue things.

Make-Up Monday: Stila Eyeshadow Palette

I am trying to be good and stay within my budget, so I've been avoiding Sephora like the plague.

However, I did take a look at the Sephora site, and I saw this eyeshadow palette for only 10 dollars.

10 dollars!

As I like to tell Mr. Kinne, that's practically free.

(Then, Mr. Kinne sweetly reminds me that it's not free if you have to spend money).

Reason #4641 That I Love First Grade

For those of you who might not be fluent in First-grader, this note translates to:

Dear Mrs. Kinne,

Do you know how many I love you?

I love you like 100.

Love,

Fatima

Ramona and Beezus

This movie does not come out until July 23rd, but I am already beyond excited. I loved the Ramona books growing up, and the movie has so many good people in it.

Would it be dorky to admit that the trailer gives me goosebumps?

Netflix Makes My Life Better

Everyday, I declare my love for our ability to watch Netflix programming through the Wii.

It feels like we live in the future.

Make-Up Monday: Clinique Blushwear

I have been on a bit of a Clinique kick lately, because I keep getting fabulous samples with my purchases.

My latest sample was Clinique Blushwear in Rosy Blush. It is a cream blush-- which is fun, because I had never actually tried a cream blush before.

It is super easy to apply, because you can rub it on with your fingers. And it is hard to mess up, because the color is sort-of translucent.

It is perfect for a summer barbecue, because it gives a little flush without looking like you bothered to put on make-up.

Here Comes the Bride...

Isn't it nice when two great people find each other?

The bride wore that gorgeous dress, and the groom wore black Converse.

I wore a ruffly dress and danced with people who were much more tan than I was.

It was a beautiful wedding.
