Catching up.. Sorta

Summer is always crazy busy for me and this summer is no exception. I've been a horrible blogger, but you should feel grateful you have been spared because my disposition lately??.. Not so sunny. That being said we've had some great times this summer I really need to share- a furniture shopping road trip with the girls, the annual Charleston trip, (minus the hubby :() Carsyn enjoying the pool, and most recently little Baylor's 2nd birthday party. Most nights after Carsyn goes to sleep I'd much rather curl up on my front porch with a glass of wine and my nook than blog.


How about you? Are you having an enjoyable summer?

Side note!! Please hop over to Dana's adorable blog and check out her awesome giveaway! That gal's beautiful.. And generous to boot :)

Growing Up, Guilty Pleasures, & Giveaway!

I get so excited when I come up with a blog title that includes a Springsteen song!

I snapped this pic the other morning and caught a little tear rolling down my face because Carsyn is really outgrowing all of her little prissy nightgowns. She is just growing up way too fast and time is flying by here at the Watts household. I cannot believe she will be 6 months old in just a few weeks.
(Laura- I figured you'd be tickled that my MIL purchased Carsyn's first sock monkey!)

I had such a lazy day today but caught myself scrambling this evening getting laundry done and getting a little run in so I could indulge in a few guilty pleasures this Sunday evening; catching up with my favorite bloggers and RHOOC.

A favorite blog of mine is ShastaAnne. She is a completely adorable, uber fashionable mom to 3! She has such a fantastic outlook on life I hope you add her to your favorites. Anyhoo-she is having a Chanel giveaway so you should check it out!

Also, a friend of mine (actually more a friend of my SIL) started a blog and I'm so excited! Vandi is such a beautiful, sweet girl I hope you check out her blog Vandi's Voice also.

The Real Housewives series on Bravo is my favorite series on tv and I'm so excited the OC season is starting. I love watching these blonde ladies and got a little thrill tonight when I caught a glimpse of Will Kirby from Big Brother a few seconds ago. I def watch too much reality TV but I think we all deserve a few guilty pleasures!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

My Reality TV Fix

So y'all know I'm kinda addicted to The Bachelor, right? Did you watch last night's episode? I just have to believe that the embalmer freaked Mr Brad out a little more than being Ricky's step daddy! I follow NASCAR ok... I've heard all of the Emily rumors and I'm not buying. She is just so gorgeous and so sweet. If she doesn't find love with Brad I hope she's the next Bachelorette. That being said I think he will end up with Ashley. They seem to have chemistry (and to quote the situation I ain't talking about the class) and something semi-real. I can't wait til next week's episode.



Did you catch the premiere of Real Housewives of Miami?? Big disappointment! I love the Real Housewives series on Bravo. I always look forward to my favorites, OC and Atlanta. I even appreciate all that New York, Beverly Hills, and DC have to offer. The Jersey Girls are spectacular! I cannot seem to find anything to keep me interested in Miami. Am I missing something?



I have to admit I was a Jersey Shore virgin until my SIL introduced me to it. As of now the hubby and I DVR the episodes and watch them over pizza and red wine (or beer) on Friday nights. They make me feel young again. You know, back in the day when all you worried about was being tan and what club you were hitting up that night?? Love the cast, love the show!

American Idol- oh how you've made up for the disappointment I've felt in seasons past! Steven Tyler and JLo do not disappoint. Do you think a 15 yr old will win this season too?

So what reality shows am I missing out on? What do you think about The Bachelor, RHOM, Jersey Shore, & American Idol?
