Date Night!





On Sunday night, we had my parents come over to watch lil Hunter for us while we had our first date night in months! We went out to dinner downtown and had ourselves a drink and some delicious food. Which I didn't capture... I need to be better about taking my camera with me places since my phone just doesn't cut it for me anymore. I had what was called "Tolerance Juice", it tasted like pineapple juice and was so good!

We then went to Goodies. It's the cutest little old timey looking ice cream shop. I got the always yummy mint chip, and Tommy got a brownie sundae. After that we rushed over to the gas station to load up on movie theatre snacks. Shhh, yes we are those people. They charge you an arm and a leg for stuff at the movies!

We saw The Duff. It was a pretty good movie. More of a chick flick. Pretty sure Tom and I were the only people over 21 there! Ha! There was also these two very annoying girls sitting down the row from us... They laughed even at the parts that weren't funny. Not only that, but one girl had the most annoying laugh I've ever heard in my life! And, made commentary through the whole movie... "OH NOOOO." Oh yes, now shut it lady.

Overall, it was a good evening with my hubby that was much needed.


What are some of your favorite date night ideas?

Five On Friday!


One // This week's weather has been rather beautiful and sunny! I'm getting major spring fever. My work is slowly but surely getting in flowers and vegetable starts. It's so exciting! 


Two // My parents, Hunter, and I went on a little road trip Tuesday and Wednesday to Eastern Idaho for my aunt's funeral. On our way back we stopped at Shoshone Falls. Unfortunately the water had already been shut off so we couldn't see the actual huge falls, but just some smaller water falls. Regardless, it's still beautiful there! 


Three // Hunter did so amazing on his first little road trip! For being in the car four hours Wednesday, and close to eight (because of all our pit stops) on Thursday, he was such a good baby! He only cried the last ten minutes getting in to town. And, after being in a car that long, I was right there with him. 

Four // We stopped in Buhl on our way home and went into the Cloverleaf Creamery. They have fresh milk, eggs, butter, and delicious ice cream. If you're ever near there, you have to stop in! Everything is made right there in small town Buhl. It will literally be the creamiest ice cream you ever eat and best milk you'll ever drink. Pinky promise!


Five // Little man got his two month vaccinations on Monday. These last couple days he hasn't felt too well and I had to take him into the doctor today to see if he was okay. They said he looks nice and healthy and to keep an eye on him and if he's not better to bring him in on Monday. I love my little handsome boy and it's hard to see him not feeling good!

Sunday Social



1. What is your best summer memory as a kid?
Family reunions in McCall. Every single year my mom's whole side of the family goes to McCall in August. It's always been a tradition, and I love it so much. We have gone canoeing, horse back riding, watching meteor showers on our special rock, catching frogs, getting marshmallows and glow in the dark footballs stolen by foxes, jet skiing, boating, tubing, fishing, and so much more. Definitely always has been and always will be the highlight of my summers.

2. What is your favorite summer drink?
Lemonade!

3. What is your favorite summer TV show?
Uhh, I don't know actually! 

4. What is the best outdoor summer activity?
Fishing, camping, and going to the lake! 

5. What are your summer vacation essentials?
Camera! Aloe vera, sunglasses, sunscreen, and tank tops! 

I'm Alive, I Swear

If you haven't noticed, I've been horrible at this whole blogging thing lately. It's been almost 10 days... 10 DAYS PEOPLE. That is a sin of all sins here in the blogging community. But, what the heck, I have a life outside of the interweb. In all honesty though, I've been super swamped with finals and work and such, and I didn't feel any motivation to write. I'm back though! Semester is done, summer is near, and I'm excited! So what's new with me? I'll tell you because I have nothing else to write about (or do with my life, but shh let's not let everyone know I'm a loser)! I guess this also counts as a Five On Friday!

(one) The most exciting news of all... As of right now, my mom is tumor free! I cannot contain my happiness right now. Of course, she still has to go through her chemo, and she's only half way done, but still! It is so exciting. Take that cancer. YOU SUCK.

(two) We got a snake! We went to repticon, it wasn't all it was hyped up to be, and I probably won't be itching to ever go back, but we got a cute little ball python. His name is Kaa. Like, from the Jungle Book. Precious right? If you don't like snakes, scrolling quickly passed this next picture would be in your best interest. You're welcome.

(three) This morning when I walked into work, I got a not-so-pleasant surprise. I ordered 300 goldfish (we go through so many a week because people like to put them in their ponds) and I kid you not, THEY WERE ALL DEAD. So, I'll be out for a whole week. And not to mention, this is the second time this has happened with that certain vendor. I'm not happy with them right now. I'm also not happy because I ask for four boxes of large crickets and they gave me one. Waddaheck. So I'll be low this week. Bahhhh humbug.

(four) I got two beauty subscriptions this week. I was kind of hoping they would be spaced out so I would have something to open like every other week, but it didn't happen. This was my first month doing Glossy Box and then I also have Ipsy. Well, I'll be doing a review on both of these boxes here in the near future. But, I just have to say it and some of you will be shocked. I'm just not that into Glossy!

(five) I made my mom, sister, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law dream catchers, and I've really gotten the hang of it. So if you guys really want a tutorial, I might possibly be willing to make a video. EEK! Here is my mom's (left) and sister's (right). I forgot to get some of my other mom and sister's. Sad panda.
Happy Friday ya'll!

Monthly Wishes

I know normal people do weekly wishes, but I'm not normal. I'm much better at doing monthly wishes. I really can't say that though, because I've never actually done them. I'm starting something new and doing them. Moving on. Intros are awkward.

Before we start though let's take a moment to look at how cute my Lovebird is at my work. (Can I say my Lovebird if I don't actually own him? Yes, I take care of him... MY Lovebird) I named him Peaches because he's a Peachface Lovebird. Original I know.
He literally has to sit right on my shirt or else he gets sassy and nips at me. And he will snuggle in my hair. I hate birds. With the exception of this one. The Cockatiel I've been trying to work with bit me so hard today he drew blood. Yeah. I hate birds.


Moving on to the actual point.

Working Out// I need to actually put my gym membership to use. I don't even want to jump on the scale to see how much weight I've gained since being out of high school and getting married. I can tell you it's a scary number, though. I've been wasting my gym membership by not using it. So I'm challenging myself to go at least twice a week. To you, that may not seem like a lot, the real struggle for me is finding the time to actually go. I want to get a routine going and actually be able to go much more. I would like to be a runner someday and be able to just put my headphones in and run. I have dreams about it all the time. Is that a sign of motivation?

Meal Prep// This in turn will make for healthier/home cooked meals to help in my working out. I really don't like eating fast food, it's just convenient so I do it. I want that to end. I need to start working on creating better habits for myself. Doing them routinely will actually make them become a habit. Both with eating healthy and working out. If someone wants to send me motivational tweets I would love you forever. @beinghampton   Follow me and lets motivate each other!

Window Tint// I actually have the money to tint my car, now I just need to do it! If I don't soon, I will spend the money elsewhere, and I really want my windows tinted.

Meditate// I really would love to find some time at night before going to bed to meditate. Whether that's doing yoga, reading, bubble bath, or actually sitting there criss-cross apple sauce (is that just a thing we say around here or?) with my palms in the air. I don't care! I just need me-time to de-stress. Away from social media and just letting my brain be quiet for like 20 minutes.

Get Organized// I want to get organized with paying bills on time and having a day-to-day schedule written out. This would help me so much with not stressing so much about things, getting bills paid on time, and actually having time for "me-time" and "healthy-me-time". I also desperately need to sit down and write down a budget for Tom and I so we can start putting money into a savings account.


I will stick with five things for this month. Four out of five of them are huge deals to me, and I really would like to accomplish them. Maybe each week I can give a run down of how I'm doing with things. That will get me blogging, and actually make me do them. Sorry this post was painfully long!

Do you have any weekly/monthly wishes?

What's In My Purse?

I love reading and watching videos about what's in other women's purses. I'm just nosy like that I guess. I had been thinking about doing a post of mine and then my dear friend Amber did, and convinced me of doing one! Unlike Amber's neat and organized bag, I have about a million things in mine. It's my very own Mary Poppins bag.

I bought this at Gordman's. It's a Kathy Van Zeeland handbag. You can find it here. I also have a matching wallet. I got the bag for around $30 and the wallet for $15 I believe. Don't quote me on that though. I've never been good with numbers. Alas, inside le purse.
If you need it, I probably have it.
  • Wallet - Inside I have $3, some Kohls cash, my credit/debit cards, insurance card, and driver's license.
  • Nail file - I hate when my acrylic nails grow out and get long... My nails grow fast. 
  • A pen 
  • A shot glass - I got this from a work training class. We're classy, yes.
  • EOS lip balm - LOVE this mint. My favorite.
  • Card holder - I literally have this thing full. I have too many cards. 
  • Glass cleaner - For my glasses, I promise it's not that weird. ...Okay, maybe. 
  • Hand sanitizer - I am addicted. And should probably just invest in Bath & Body Works ones that smell good.
  • A brush - I can't stand when my hair gets tangled. 
  • Contacts case - Sometimes they just need to come out. #blindgirlprobs
  • Contact solution 
  • Chap stick - I bought it because the container was cute...
  • Manicure kit - It has like fingernail clippers, file, etc. I never use it.
  • Tums - I've been getting heart burn so much lately, this has been a must.
  • Lucky perfume - I like to smell good.
  • Be Enchanted lotion - It smells delightful.
  • Pomegranate Fig lotion - Not as great smelling, but I love pomegranate so I refuse to get rid of it.
  • SD card - It was necessary for one of my classes last semester. And by last semester, I actually mean the one before that. Oops.
  • Inhaler - Sometimes I can't breathe. It's awesome. Asthma rocks!
  • TWO deodorants - I can't even explain this one to myself. 
  • Advil - After I got into my car accident I shoved these in my purse. Best. Decision. Ever.
  • Kleenex - I had a cold once. Like, two months ago. They are still great to have though!
  • Nivea lotion - More lotion...
  • Hawaiian Tropic Shimmer After Sun Moisturizer - ...And more.
  • Victoria's Secret lip gloss - I haven't used this in for-ev-er.
  • Burt's Bees chap stick - Just because two isn't enough apparently.

So there you have it! My black hole of a bag!
Share what's in your purse and comment down below with a link! I would love to snoop inside your handbag!  Let me get one more exclamation mark in here for the ultimate overkill!
