b. I have way to much sugar in the mornings

c. I need to change my eating habits

d. all of the above

I think I am going to go with d!

Happy Hump Day ladies!

A little bit of this and that

I thinking that I am finally being lifted out of my blogging rut!!!! I know I have been MIA for a month and even before that wasn't doing that great of a job getting back into the swing of things. Well ladies and gents this is all about to change. It's summer time and this is my time of year! This post will be kind of random and all over the place but bear with me and in the post ahead I will be going into further detail about them!

Chris and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary in May! Wow how time has flown by! I feels like just yesterday I was walking down the aisle to my husband to be and now we are living our happily ever after! I couldn't imagine being married to a better man. I love you Chris!

So I have a bad case of baby fever. Its always in the fore front of my mind and it seems that everywhere I turn its all about babies. Friends having babies, diaper commercials, a cute adorable baby in the grocery store. Yep baby on the brain! Now don't worry I am not sugar coating everything! It's hard work being a mom and everyone definitely has their ups and downs. Fussy babies, the terrible two's, stinky diapers and the other wonderful messes that need to be cleaned up. But its all worth it to me and I so look forward to the day that we get pregnant. We have decided to wait another year before trying but sometimes I get so anxious and we have both been getting on the right track in order to "prepare" for starting a family. So I need some advice ladies. How are you getting through baby fever or how did you finally say enough is enough and just started trying? And did you get pregnant right away or did it take you awhile? I know its all about timing and when its right it just happens. But for now I need patience (thanks to my dad I wasn't born with any, lol)!

On other news Chris got promoted this morning!!!! I am so proud of him and he has worked soooo hard! He will be spending alot more time in the office and I am sure that there will be plenty of times that he will come home cranky but I hope that I can greet him at the door and take away any of his worries. So proud of him!

Lots of changes have been going on in the Lenz household and I am totally addicted to DIY projects. I have already started a few and I am waiting on a few more things to arrive to finish the rest but I am really excited to see all the hard work that we have been doing become a final product! I am totally obsessed with Young House Love. They have so many great ideas and tips! If you haven't visited their website yet it's a must!

Ok I have been rambling for long enough. I am back ladies and hopefully on the next post I can load up some pictures and go into more random thoughts, lol! xoxo

Mom's & Giveaways!

I have tried numerous times to upload my pictures of all the things that happened in April and for some reason they just don't want to appear. So the show must go on!

The weather in Houston has been absolutely amazing lately. Although the temps are getting up in the 90's I am loving every second of it. And I have finally have the opportunity to work on getting my tan on! Bring on the summer!

This weekend is Mother's Day! While Chris will be spending time with his mom, I will be helping my mom pack up and move. My parents have decided to change houses and any time I get to spend with my mom whether packing, hanging out or going out I try to take every chance I can. I have some really amazing friends but I have to say that my mom is my BEST friend. We talk almost everyday! I don't know what I would do without this absolutely amazing and strong woman in my life. So thank you mom for always being there for me, providing endless amounts of love for me & Michele and being the mother that I hope to one day be. I love you!

In other exciting news, Sunday, May 9th, I will be featured on Fantabulously Frugal for their 31 Days of Giveaways! That's right ladies, you have the opportunity to win a Scentsy System of your choice! This includes one full size warmer and 3 of your favorite scents. So head on over to her site and check it out! And don't forget to participate in some of the other amazing giveaways she has going on! There are some great things for you to win!!!

Hope you are all having an amazing week so far! And don't forget to tell your mom how much you love and appreciate her! If it weren't for them we wouldn't be the women we are today!

Oh Smile

I know I have been a sucky blogger lately. I mean really sucky. Work is crazy, life is crazy and I am just trying to accomplish my work life balance. But life has definitely been great! Chris and I have been having quite the month and so look forward to all that May has in store for us. Second Wedding Anniversary, vacation, weddings, parties and so much more! Just call us the Busy Bee Lenz's. I know that a lot of others can relate to us right now! We are booked straight through the end of JUNE!

So whats been taking up a lot of my time? Work has been filled with nonstop list of to-do's so by the time I get home from work the last thing I want to do it look at a computer, hence the lack of blogging. I also take classes every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30-9pm to freshen up my excel skills. Then of course there are also projects around the house and just the same old same old of maintaining it. And there are lots of DIY's approaching and I can't wait to share them with you.

I am very pleased to say that my Scentsy business is booming! When I first started Scentsy I had no idea how great of an outcome it would be! Not only do I absolutely love the product but I also love doing the parties. I have met some wonderful women through the process and its really a great feeling knowing that what I am selling makes people truly happy. There is nothing better than walking into a home or room that smells amazing!

With Scentsy exceeding my expectations I quickly ran out of business cards. So it was time to find something fun and classy that fits my style. So to Etsy I went (seriously what would we do without this site?!). There I found Oh Smile by Eva. She has ready built templates and she also creates custom designs. Working with her was a breeze and she had them done in no time at all. If you are in need of some calling cards she is the one to contact. Her stuff is amazing! See my new cards below! Love them! And don't forget to check out the new things on my Scentsy website! There is something for everyone and the Vanilla Suede scent is to die for!

This week, as usual, is a busy one with a busy weekend to follow. Expect a very long April recap full of pictures and stories to tell! Hope you are all doing well and even though I have been slacking in posting department I have still been reading all of yours! xoxo

Spring Fun

I have been trying for a few days to load up pics from this past weekend but for some reason it's taking forever and not really cooperating with me! This is why I have been absent from posting. Excuses, excuses I know!

This past weekend was a busy one with it being Easter Weekend. Saturday we spent the day in Livingston with my side of the family and enjoyed some oh so amazing boiled shrimp, corn and potatoes! Chris and my dad did an amazing job and we ate till our stomachs couldn't take it anymore. We played washers and enjoyed some much needed family time. Pictures to come soon if they ever load on here! Then Sunday we went to Beaumont to spend the day with Chris' side of the family. It turned out to be a beautiful day and got to spend some much needed quality time with his grandpa.

This week has been a crazy one. Work has been insane and rewarding at the same time. I am finally starting to get some credit around here and the top guys have even given their praises. It's a big relief and things are starting to move upwards. I have been here for 5 years come June and my time here is starting to pay off.

Tomorrow I am taking off to clean the house and get ready for a very exciting weekend! Before I get into that I have an odd question for all you clean freaks out there. How long does it take you to clean your house and do you have any tricks up your sleeve to make everything spic and span? I have a love/hate relationship with cleaning. I don't necessarily look forward to cleaning but its also a stress reliever especially when its all done and Chris is not there to mess it up. I may be a freak for this but don't judge me: the last thing I do is vacuum so that its all nice and neat lines and once I am done I try not to walk on the carpet. It's just so nice to enjoy a clean house.

Ok so this weekend Chris and I are having our First Annual Lenz Crawfish Boil! I am so excited and absolutely thrilled that almost everyone is going to be there. In Texas crawfish season is a BIG deal! There is nothing better than good spicy crawfish with a cold beer and your closest family and friends on a gorgeous spring day! And gorgeous it will be! The weather is supposed to be perfect this Saturday. Hopefully I can get some sun on these pasty legs of mine. We have almost everything ready to go! Bring it on!

Ok I'm sorry but I have to get back to work. Gotta stay on there good graces! I'll post more later! xoxo
