It's Friday!!!!!

Woo Hoo!!  Even though I've been on Summer Vacation I still get excited when Friday rolls around.  Friday's just a happy day!!!

My ramblings from the week that was....

This is my 100th Blog Post!!!  YAY!!!  I started this blog back in 2012 but 2014 has really been the year of the blog!!  I've posted more, been participating in link-ups to gain more blog exposure and have made friends out there in blogland!!  Thanks to EVERYONE who takes time out of their day to read, comment and follow along we me on this crazy blog!!  It means the WORLD to me!!!

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge  I have not been nominated (thank you Jesus!...and really I couldn't do it.  This solitary life has me alone 95% of the time.  How am I to navigate a camera and all that ice??  AND I have a TERRIBLE voice on videos!!) but I have donated and probably watched almost every challenge video there is to see, from my family to celebrities and complete strangers! Even my mother, who I haven't seen get her hair wet since 1986, completed the Ice Bucket Challenge!! I really still can't believe that before this, funding and donations toward ALS were minuscule!! As of now, almost 40 MILLION DOLLARS has been donated!!  GO US!! Support the fight against ALS here!

Jesus Loves this Hot Mess!!  Went to Sunday Brunch this week in my new Be Still Clothing Co. Shirt!  I love it!  I first saw this graphic here on The Pleated Poppy Blog and thought it was super cute.  The shirt she linked to was this v-neck (tank no longer available!) But it was sold out.  When it was restocked, I jumped at the chance to get one and am so glad I did. Sometimes a girl just needs a little reminder!!



How is it that I've only just discovered the Timehop App?  And I'm obsessed!!  I can spend hours upon hours looking back at old photos and have boxes and boxes of old keepsakes.  This app is basically that online. Everyday you're notified with a picture, status update, etc. from that exact day years ago!  It's like a time capsule and it's super cool!!
HAHAHA


So THIS is really scary and eye-opening!!  EEEKKK...


Have a great weekend everyone!!!  Look forward to seeing all your favorites from the week that was....

    Whoo Hoo for 100!! I did the ice bucket challenge this week and it was Freezing. My video is posted on Instagram and Facebook and I crack up every time I see it . Good for you for donating. It's incredible how this challenge has really raised so much awareness and hopefully so more funding for research. Wishing you a fabulous weekend! oxox, Amanda

    Congrats on 100 blog posts! I think I'm just going to donate rather than do the ice bucket challenge - I'm such a wimp! Hope you're having a great summer!
