Two New Things I'm Trying...

I am so excited about a couple of things that I just subscribed to and I am really looking forward to receiving.  I signed up for MyGlam Bag and for Julep Maven.  They are both monthly subscription services that you receive in the mail.  I had to take profile quizzes for both of them and based on the results you receive a package every month with beauty goodies from MyGlam and nail products from Julep.  I will definitely let you know what my thoughts are once I receive them.  The MyGlam subscription is $10 per month and the Julep subscription is $19.95.  I used a couple for Julep and got the price knocked down to $9.99.  I believe that it was a one-time coupon though.  The code is WELCOME5.

I am so sorry for the rant about the concert last night. I totally know that I sounded like a spoiled little princess. I hate when I do that! I felt terrible about being such a shiny baby to the best husband in the whole world! I had to apologize to him as well. Once Angels and Airwaves took the stage everything was so worth it. They were incredible! I was a little bummed that they didn't preform Breathe which is my alltimefavorite song by the but it was stills meaning. They sounded great and their energy was tangible! I forgot to mention that my handsome husband took me to Napa Rose which is an amazing restaurant inside the Grand Californian Hotel. It is soooo delicious! I highly recommend going their if you ever get the chance. It is very pricey so we only go there very special occasions. The chocolate pâté is to die for! As I was laying in bed cuddling with my little boy who spiked a fever at 12:30 this morning I was overwhelmed with so much gratitude for my life. The Lord has truly blessed me and I am so grateful. I sure don't deserve His lovely blessings, but I am so very happy and humbled that He has. XO, Elyse

Worst concert experience ever!!!

So....you know how excited I was to see Angels and Airwaves? I'm here and I would LOVE to go home!!! They still haven't taken the stage and their opening band is very stinky!!!! And to top it all off it's super hot and all the seats are taken! I know I'm being super whiny and I apologize in advance but seriously this is terrible! I'll let you know if it gets any better! I sure hope it does!

Lazy Sunday Morning

I am very much looking forward to today and tonight!  We have been spending Sunday morning in s lazy fashion!  I made waffles in my daughter's Hello Kitty cupcake maker and my hubby made the most perfect, crispiest bacon ever!  I happen to love bacon!  There is a great recipe for coconut flour waffles in Make it Paleo which is one of my favorite Paleo cookbooks.  You can click here for more information about the book and the Paleo lifestyle in general.  As far as tonight goes my husband got tickets to the Angels and Airwaves concert for this evening at the House of Blues in Anaheim!  I'm so excited!  It will be very nice to get dressed up and have an evening to just relax with my husband and enjoy each others company and some great music!

The only thing I am not too happy about is that my daughter (step, technically) has a 48 hour visit with her mother.  She has had a tummy bug the last couple of days and I will be a little worried about her.  She leaves at noon today and returns on Tuesday at 10:00 am.  I will be looking forward to seeing her again!

I hope that you are having a great day!

XO,
Elyse

A Little Bit More About...ME!!!

Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my blog! I am so happy you did! Let me tell you a little bit about myself....at the time of writing I am 32 years old and have three children. I have an 8 year old son, 5 year old step-daughter, and a 2 year old son. We are a Paleo household and I am a stay at home mom. My 8 year old son is on the Austism Spectrum and my husband's ex-wife is quite a handful!

I hope to share life's ups and downs with you and just share from the bottom of my heart what my life is all about and....before I forget, my name is Elyse.
