Guess who's BACK!!

Hello World Wide Peeps! I have been away for quite some time so I will save you the why, what for and just jump right in like I've been here all along! Here is my everythingandnothing2it updates....

The holidays were phenomenal! My New Year's came and went (I do not make resolutions).

I do have some news to share that is still kind of OLD news but whatevs, I have gots to loose weight(don't you dare move your cursor to the browser to change this page!) but I am approaching it a little different this go round. 

Have you ever watched a television commercial a zillion times and NEVER pay attention well that was me and the Special K commercial. you know the one where everyone steps on a scale and they're afraid of the number popping up but instead you get..

Well suffice it to say MINE does not say Joy, or Confidence or Courage mine says..

If you can not see it says 207.2, I was 215 with my little lady who is now 18 months so the excuse of "I just had a baby" is feeling a little weird.

So my first update will be Wednesday, February 6th! Wish me luck! 

Comment below and let me know how much you've missed me, a girl could use a little love!! XOXOXOXO 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAYS

For some time I've seen the wordless Wednesday posts on other blogs and I thought, "self?" and self said "huh," "do we take enough pictures for such a thing..." Well self and me agree who cares. So below is my interpretation of Wordless Wednesday...

The sunset on the lake, calming

Driving and the sunlight through the clouds reminds me that things Always get better.

Every anniversary we write vows and read them to one another.

I do because I can. Making the little lady shoes all her own.

Throw this song on and you're guaranteed to want to dance, but no dancing required. lol

What are some of your wordless Wednesday photos??

WHAT A NEW.......

Hello Lovelies, I am an online member of #BLMgirls (bloggers like me) as a woman who was never really apart of any clubs or groups I feel connected and dare I say bonded with some of the ladies even though I have never meet a one! There are oftentimes a BLM meetup in various cities and unfortunately I live in the Wild, Wild, West Ahhhhh (cue music) no really I live in Upstate, NY and the closest meetup is FIVE hours away (violin keep on playing, lol) so I thought about a great way to meet them without actually being in their presence, and "WHAT A NEW" was born! 

WHAT A NEW friend I have, WHAT A NEW way to look at things, WHAT A NEW vibrant energy, WHAT A NEW ____<<<<insert here. 

SO FIRST UP INTRODUCING....A NEW ARTIST!

Mrs. Rochelle Washington of Lithia Springs, GA. My fellow #BLMGirl has not one but two blogs.Check them out below the post

So without further ado below is a look into the mind of Rochelle.

Describe yourself using three adjectives: 

Creative. Passionate. Musical.

What has been your greatest obstacle to overcome as a blogger:  

My greatest obstacle to overcome as a blogger has been myself.  I have my moments where I want everything other bloggers have at once, followers, advertising, sponsorships  etc.  I just need to embrace where I am and work on growing my blog.

If I opened your fridge at this very moment what would have the oldest expiration date: 

Probably mayo.  I hate mayo and use it as sparingly as possible.

If you had to tell your 18 year old self one word to explain her at ____(current age) what would it be:  

Learning

Has Blogging changed your life, how, if not why:  

Blogging has changed my life in the sense that it has opened me up to possibilites that otherwise I would not have imagined.  Crafting wise, it has allowed me to share my crafts with other crafters and participate in some great things.  Lifestyle blog wise, I've gained more confidence and pride in myself as a woman by chronicling and sharing what my daily life is like.  Being able to go back and read what I've written is a living diary helping me improve and also appreciate my journey.

Your favorite made up word and please use it in a sentence:   

"Good in my Soul".  Girl, I just ate the best meal, it was good in my soul!

What would you say to the person or people who raised you:  

To my mother I would say:  Thank you for allowing me to be expressive and raising me to be an independent and free thinker.  The morals, values and culture that you poured into me is with me daily and I consider it an honor to have been raised by such a dedicated, giving, polished and elegant woman such as you.  You are my blue print for motherhood and I can't thank you enough for being a constant reminder of what finer womanhood is.

Isn't she AwesomeSauce!! Thank you Rochelle for being my first (hehehe) and breaking the ice with me, I was really nervous about this project but you've made it simply put, Easy peasy!

Now I have to go I've got food on the stove, lol

Check out her wonderful creative and inspirational side, let her know Mrs.everythingandnothing2it sent ya!

WEEKEND WRAP UP

 Happy Monday ladies and gents below is THE WEEKEND WRAP UP...

My little lady starting swim and it. was. a. disaster. she hollered for the first 5 minutes in the water, I get out and try to get her back in, oh no ladies and gents Miss.Mikayla wasn't having it but boy did she look adorable in her swimsuit!

 After swim we had some pumpkin action and it was a ball, she truly enjoyed the farm, I would have never thought so I'm a bona-fide city gal!

the big kid helping out his sister.

 she fell in love with the oddly shaped and bumped pumpkin that's as tall as her. when we put it in the cart she kept watching it like "you better not leave it!"

Then I decided I really wanted to go dancing so that's what I did....almost..kinda...sort-of..okay I went to the CLUB! lol

So mad my shoes aren't in here because they are my new favorite! Below are the new beauties.

Skirt: H&M Shirt: Forever 21 Shoes: DSW

Me leaving the club early, these old bones couldn't hang

Lastly, Sunday was church, youngest boy child football game, Sunday dinner, guests from church and a DYI fall centerpiece..Phew are you tired?

The beginning of hopefully a wonderful centerpiece, then again I may put the apples back in my fridge.

WHAT'S YOUR WEEKEND WRAP-UP. PLEASE DO TELL!

SEVENTY / THIRTY

Hello my fellow readers, my how long it's been. How the heck is everyone (feel free to comment and truly answer this question). I've missed the updating but I must be honest I needed the time away to "recharge". With that being said I am giving you all an UPDATE!

I chopped off all of my hair....Well the majority of it. The above photo is me feeling good and free and the below picture is of me (the old length) and my wonderful sister-in-law sporting our "borrowed" tiaras. 

My "pout" is a hot mess. SMH.

Back to my post title...I went to a wonderful entrepreneurial workshop in PA and one of the guest speakers was a doctor and she gave me a punch to the gut! Seventy / Thirty...Seventy / Thirty....ONLY THIRTY PERCENT OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU PHYSICALLY IS GENETIC OR PRE-DISPOSED TO, THE OTHER SEVENTY IS WHAT WE DO TO OURSELVES!! 

I'll wait and let that marinate! It hit me like a ton of bricks because in my mind of excuses, I can't loose weight because my family this or my family that. NOPE Mrs. Thang you aren't loosing weight because of what YOU do!

So my lovely readers, Mrs. Everythingandnothing2it is GETTING IT TOGETHER!!

Missed you all like Sunday Morning, see you soon and make sure you find a reason to say AWESOMESAUCE!
