Hey that's Pin-Tastic - Tattoo Style!

Thank you all so much for the birthay wishes last week. You all sure know how to make a girl feel loved:)  I promise to be back tomorrow with a full recap of the big 3-0 celebrations, but today I have to link up with my girl AP for her Hey that's Pin-Tastic Link-Up!  This week I'm doing something a little different...a little creation I didn't actually have to do any work for!


Months ago I found this pin on Pinterest....

...and I just loved it.  I had wanted to get another tattoo, this one for my girls, and I knew this was the perfect spot for it.

I hemmed and hawwed a bit over what wording I wanted, and finally decided on "I love you most" with the girls initials.  I chose this since every day Emmy and I have the following conversation.
Me: I love you Emmy.
Emmy: I love you too Mommy.
Me: I love you more.
Emmy: I love you most.

So I thought it would be the perfect reminder of my sweet girls.

Then this past weekend, Skip surprised me with an appointment to finally get my tattoo done!  So Saturday afternoon we headed out to get inked up.

I originally wanted the writing to be really small and as low down on my foot as possible, but the tattoo artist said there was a much higher chance it would just fade and start to blend together.  So after a few replacements on the stencils, he got to work. 

Yes, it does hurt for those wondering, but since it only took about 15 minutes from start to finish, it really wasn't too bad.  And after birthing two kids, this was a walk in the park.  And I could not be happier with the finished product!






So have you every gotten a tattoo inspiration from Pinterest?

    pretty! What a wonderful idea too. I think if I ever got a tatoo, it would have to be related to my kids too :)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
