halloween last year.
Amazing boyfriend and I had only been dating about a month.
At the hockey rink, where he works, they had a costume skate night.
When I saw him dressed up in this outfit,
I could not stop laughing.
He makes me smile.

Boob Toob Babble
It's been long overdue for some...
First off, let's talk about:
Maci - Ok, I just have to say that her and Kyle are too cute together! And little Bentley is adorable. I'm so glad that Kyle finally decided to move in with her in her new apartment, even though he had to quit his job. Now, I'm not a fan of her ex, Ryan, but I'm very proud about how he handled meeting Kyle. I just hope that they will continue to stay on good terms with each other, especially with Bentley's birthday coming up. And hopefully Ryan can think for himself and not keep taking Maci to court about stupid things that other people keep saying he should do. Catelynn - First off, Catelynn and Tyler's parents are so stupid. Butch just got out of jail, and they're already risking the chance of him going back...and until 2023! I'm glad that they finally got their own place, but even though trying to have a better relationship with their parents is good, I think that they just need to stay a good distance away from them. Her mom is bipolar and needs serious help. Amber - I'm kind of glad something is getting done about Amber's anger problems. I'm not a huge fan of Gary, but I kind of feel bad for the guy always getting yelled at and beat up. But the constant fighting and breaking up and then making up is getting old. They just need to break up for good and Amber needs to be forced to stay in the classes she's taking, in order to have custody of Leah. Farrah - Ok, can I just say that she looks hilarious when she cries? I'm sorry, but she does. And she is, excuse me, a bitch to her mother. I know her mom is sometimes annoying and they had their problems last year, but she has gotten a lot better, and Farrah still treats her like she's nothing. I thought it was ridiculous that Derek's mother tried to get visitation rights. Um, but where was she the first year and a half of Sophia's life? I don't know, but I'm glad Farrah got a lawyer and everything worked out in her favor.
Next up:
Surprisingly, as the weeks have gone by, this show has gotten a little bit more tolerable to watch. It's still somewhat very crude, but now has an actual storyline. Last week's episode would probably have to be my favorite one. There was still a lot of sexual stuff in it, but there wasn't all the bong smoking and weird things that goes on. It was mostly about Jenna, Ryan's (Elijah Wood) neighbor, and trying to get rid of her competitive boyfriend. It was actually a quite funny episode, at least for amazing boyfriend it was.
Next:
This show I just had to start watching because I just find it so funny when grown women act like they're back in high school. This Abbey Lee lady is one tough cookie and really knows how to piss off these moms. I think it's sad though that these girls don't have a childhood like a normal child should. They get pushed way too hard and are at the dance studio for way too long. I mean when do these girls have time for school work and friends? I did think it was ridiculous that the other dance teacher mom came in to Abbey Lee Studios thinking she was at the same level as Abbey, and that her daughter was at the same level as the other girls...I don't think so. I wonder what Abbey will do to her after what happened at the last tournament.
And last but certainly not least, my new favorite:
I saw the previews for the show on MTV and thought it could be a good show, and then one night last week it just happened to be on when I turned on the tv, so I kept it on and it was pretty good. A girl who pops two pain pills, and within 10 seconds, looks like she just tried to commit suicide. She's one of those girls in high school that doesn't have very many friends and not very popular, however, over summer, she hooks up with one of the most popular guys in school. Sadly, right after, he tells her that no one can know about him liking her. Typical men. So she continues to go to school every day getting laughed at for being known as the girl who attempted suicide and having to keep this giant secret. I'm hooked on this show and can't wait until the next episode.
60 Day Challenge: Day 28
Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of
being kidnapped.
This is my worst fear. I hear all the stories of girls getting taken from their
homes or while on vacation (like in 'Taken').
I'm more scared of it now, since someone went into my cute little apartment
and stole my make up bag.
I'm always scared now that someone is going to break in while I'm home
and take me or do something else horrible.
I pray every night that He keeps me safe and protected.

My travel destination of choice is probably San Francisco.
I love everything there.
My favorite food is ribs or sushi.
It's a toss-up. They're both delicious!
My happy place is my cute little apartment.
My favorite saying is (obviously) live laugh love.
It's, as you know, the name of my blog, and the theme for my home.
My dirty little secret is umm..I honestly can't think of anything.
Something friends might say about me is that I am very sweet.

Hair Styles - How To Videos
Since my post yesterday for Pinteresting Wednesday, and I put this picture on there, I have been really into putting my hair in different hair styles. Not that I never have before, but I always get so frustrated with my hair because I feel that it never looks 'pretty' enough. So I searched online, first, how to make that kind of braid, and I came across this one video on YouTube, and soon learned that this chick who is doing the videos has a whole line of videos with different 'how to's for hair and make up. And I fell in love. So, of course, now I have to share with you. She's very pretty super gorgeous and talks with an english accent, and she knows how to do almost every hair style that you see on celebrities. She owns her own business Foxy Locks Hair Extensions.
Here are a few videos that I found were really interesting and helpful:
She hasplenty A TON of other 'how to' videos for you to watch and learn. Enjoy!

next president cousin and me.
(he's in the blue...I would've cropped it, but I thought
it would've looked pretty funny with a random arm just
chillin' on my shoulder like that..haha)

Next President Cousin is only a little under a year younger than me.
We used to be really close when we were younger,
but since he's super smart and went to school in Washington D.C.
and overseas, I don't get to see him very often.
He's worked with the U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and I believe will
be the next president, or at least work high up at the White House.
I'm very proud of him.

Craft Time
Today, while at work, one of the other nannies that I occasionally meet up with, with the girls I watch, invited us over to do some crafts. I haven't done crafts (other than coloring and painting) in such a long, since I haven't worked at a school/preschool in over a year.
The other mom had the cutest idea, that the kids go out and pick flowers and leaves and other things nature, then paste them on a piece of paper with a doll shaped figure on it. I thought that was just the cutest idea ever! After the kids did that, all of us (even us nannies) painted rocks! I don't think I've painted a rock since I was in kindergarden!
Here are some pictures of our art:
