Bahama {Momma}


For multiple reason I cancelled my tanning membership last month. I know I know tanning is horrible for you, shame on me! I had not tanned in almost three years, however when Z proposed I was determined not to be pasty white in all of our pictures and on our wedding day!

I have used Jergens Sunless Tanner in the past, however it smells horrible and I feel like it does not go on evenly.



So I need some recommendations on good sunless tanner that will not leave me sticky and smelling.

Second....I have done the whole Mystic tan and I am like Ross on Friends the first time he does a spray tan!



I am serious y'all, I about suffocate every time I step into one of those things! I think I drink and inhale more than what actually goes on my body!!!

I have gotten airbrush tans before, which I love. But I am always wondering....are they being serious when they say its okay if you are completely naked? Or are they just seeing if you will really do it?

A little TMI I normally lose everything except my undies but I really do not want to have that "tan line".

So like I said I need HELP!!! What sunless tanning is the best?? Do you go completely commando while getting airbrushed??

Thank you in advanced for helping me not be pasty!

Easter {Weekend}

This Easter weekend was a long and very busy weekend for Z and I!

Good Friday we started our flower beds, which I am so ecstatic about, and went to see the new American Reunion movie with our friends Jonathan and Alissa!!


Now I have never seen any of the other movies besides the American Wedding (which I watched on TBS) so I need to watch all of them and then watch American Reunion again so that I can get all of the jokes! I was not allowed to watch these movies when they came out and I guess I never had the desire before to watch them. However, this movie was still really funny!

Saturday we headed to College Station to see my sister Hannah for her pre-birthday weekend and watch some Texas Aggie baseball!





Z got yelled at (in a friendly manner) for not partaking in any of the Aggie traditions while watching the baseball game....he may be too much of a Texas fan to cheer on the Aggies!


Sunday after our drive home from college station we headed to my grandparents house for the annual Mayo family Easter!

Every year we have a egg toss and egg relay!

This year I decided since I had on a new dress I would not partake, however I snapped some good pictures!

Z and my cousin Cassie were the winners of the egg toss this year!


Z and my cousin Chrissy during the egg relay.


I made Z take some Spring pics with me!



And my aunt's signature pose...the around the tree!


Sunday night I cooked Easter dinner for our married friends, the Lambs and the Clarks!

Since I was cooking a couple of Paula Dean recipes, I HAD to wear my Paula Dean apron!!


Our side dishes were 3 cheese scallop potatoes, glazed carrots and BLT deviled eggs!




These are the popovers that I made for the first time! Super yummy however I did not realize you were suppose to eat them as soon as they get out of the oven! I will remember next time! 



We also had Dr. Pepper ham and Not Yo Momma's Banana Pudding!



It was so nice to catch up with family and our friends this past weekend! I hope everyone had a great Easter!!!

Organizing/Decorating Help {Needed}

Ladies, I need your help desperately!!! On each side of our fireplace we have this extra space for random pictures, nic-nacs, storage, etc.

The one side that holds Z's Xbox, our Blueray player, and Uverse box is in some serious need of repair and organization.

Here are the pictures of the side that needs the help!






Lovely wires everywhere!!! We are doing touch up paint this month and getting glass to fit each side so that our stuff is not directly on the paint.

Here is the other side...not too much to it but definitely looks a lot better than the other side.


I did a little rearranging this weekend to try to hide the wires and not make it look so much like an eye sore....




So what do you girls think? What can I do to hide the wires and make it look more presentable??

Xoxo,
