I miss my mom - Minnie Monday

I know! I know! It's been a while, but things have been kind of busy around here. I've been busy growing and turning into a small cat, as opposed to a kitten, and mom's been busy working and being social. So there are a few new things going on at least.

2013 Bucket List - Update #2

At the beginning of the year I wrote up a bucket list of things I'd like to get done this year. The list only had 10 things on it to start, but I've added a few things since then.

It's already September and I'll admit I'm a little behind on some things. Here's how things are shaping up:


 (If you see a link for the event/activity/whatever it means I've done a blog post on it)

1. See The Beach Boys at our local fair
2. Start fertility testing
3. Get a new car
4. Have 1 student loan almost paid off
5. Find a new book series to fall in love with - The Mortal Instruments
6. Get a tattoo
7. Have a scrapcation (scrapbooking vacation) with Kelley
8. Win at Monopoly
9. Do at least 50 Project Pinspiration things*
10. Organize my scrap/craft stuff
11. Attend a blog conference
12. Walk 100  miles (not all at once, total over the year, including walking done for work and for fun/exercise on my own)

 *As of September 5, 2013 I have done blog posts about 8, but have done 8 more that I haven't done blog posts about:

• Vicks shower disks
• Fiesta lime rice
• Bead/pearl bangle bracelets
• Jolly Rancher Vodka
• Bottle cap stamps
• Strawberry ice box cake
• Braided/beaded bracelet
• Beaded Bobby Pins

That's not too bad I think. I really need to pick up on the Project Pinspiration though and get the blog posts for my completed projects done.

Beach Boys Concert!

I really should have had this post up ages ago. I don't know what's taken me so long to get it up, but here it is so there you go haha

Our local county fair has a concert every year and this year it was the Beach Boys. I grew up listening to them since my mom was such a fan - hey mom! - so I was really excited to hear they would be there this year. My mom decided to splurge and got tickets for me, herself, my sister and my sister's boyfriend.

Diamond Candles Review & Giveaway

I received a candle complimentary from Diamond Candles. They are also providing the candle for the giveaway. 
All opinions are 100% my own.

I was beyond excited when I was contacted by Diamond Candles about trying one of their candles and hosting a review. I've seen friends like them on Facebook and post or re-post pictures in hopes of winning one and I have to admit that it got my curiosity going.

What exactly is a Diamond Candle? What makes it different from any of the thousands of other candles out there?
