The 2014 Oscars

Due to weather complications, my Oscar blog is a little late! I was at a Zumba event (an amazing event, next blog!) until 8:45 last night, and came out of the building to find freezing rain and a frozen car door! I made it up to Matt's house last night and have been having a snow day with his family today. Matt has 3 brothers, and as you can imagine they like to watch The Walking Dead, not the Oscars, so we DVR'd it! This morning Kathy and I sat down to watch the red carpet show before the main event. One by one the boys trickled in and gave their opinions of the show. They were NOT fans of all the short haircuts on the ladies! Don't tell them I told you. ;)

First things first.  Ladies, let's just take a moment...
Oh, and can't forget...


Also, there were some really, really, REALLY beautiful couples!


Okay, back to the blog. I think Ellen did a fabulous job hosting! I just adore her and her sense of humor! I can't go on without showing the record breaking retweet picture.


My best dressed was really hard to pick because I just don't think anyone really stood out above the rest! There was not one single person that blew my mind when they walked on that red carpet. I decided to go with Sandra Bullock. Of course she is always gorgeous, a little too safe, but gorgeous nonetheless. I loved the navy, the fit, and the hair. It all worked!


I love Jennifer Lawrence, and I don't mind her short hair, BUT I didn't love the way it was styled. A little too Hilary Clinton for me! The rest of her was beautiful! I was glad she chose to do something a little different with the "backwards" necklace (for lack of a better way to describe it.)


I thought Kristin Bell looked fabulous. I appreciate that she had a dress with a little pizazz!


I positively loved the dress that Pink wore to perform "Somewhere over the Rainbow." The sparkly red was so perfect! I loved the deep V with the sleeves too!


I like where Charlize Theron's designer was going with the dress, but I don't like how the straps just suddenly stop. They should have been thinner or something? I'm not sure what I would have done, but the rest was fab!

I think Lupita is as cute as a button, but I wasn't impressed with her dress. I also just can't get past her hair! She has a high top fade...It's a fade. No, girl!


As much as I hate to do it, I have to say my worst dressed is our WV girl, Jennifer Garner. I LOVE HER, I promise, I do! I just don't like tiers of fringe.


I think we can all agree that we look at Pharrell and say to ourselves, "wtf?" The hat lives on. It is definitely because it got him so much attention last time.


I really disliked Cate Blanchett's dress. The color with her skin and hair completely washed her out.


Liza Minelli, too easy. Next!


Julia Roberts' dress would have been a lot better for me without the lace peplum. Although I don't like the lace at the top either. I think she would have been better off rocking the deep V!


Last, but not least, Kerry Washington. She really let me down again. I can't wait until she pops that baby out and remembers how to dress again! There have been plenty of award shows with pregnant women looking fabulous, and she just can't get the hang of it! BUT, as I said last time, I won't hold it against her because I know it's not easy finding things that are comfortable and look good when there is another human under your dress.

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family i...

My Secret Sauce

I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initiall...

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t...
