My kids are getting older and they seem to need me less and less everyday.
I recently made a BIG decision in my life!!! One that affects my entire family.
I have enjoyed the last 4.5 years at home with them, but the time has come for me to contribute a little more financially to our families income. The opportunity came up for me to become an Independent Beauty Consultant for Mary Kay, I knew instantly that it was for me!


So brace yourself for a moment... I'm going to do something I swore I would NEVER do... I am going to show you a picture of myself with absolutely NO MAKEUP!!!

 eeeekkk.... scary I know!

Sadly I'm not one of those gals who wakes up looking like a million bucks. Luckily for me, I have Mary Kay.

I thought I'd show you all the goodies I use on a regular basis!
Since skin care is the most important thing to me I use MK's Time Wise Miracle Set and the
  Time Wise  Firming Eye Cream.
I absolutely LOVE the way it makes my face look and feel.

Okay, so makeup!!!! Here I am after I have finished painting on my face!!! :)



Doesn't even look like the same girl does it??? LOL









 I always start with MK's Foundation Primer. It makes my face feel smooth like butter!!!
Then I use MK concealer and Time Wise Liquid Foundation.


My next step is MK mineral blush!! in my absolute FAVORITE color, Citrus Bloom.
After I have the base I work on my eyes!!!! I love MK's mineral eye shadows and my current color addiction is "Sweet Plum"  with "Spun Silk".


I top that with my black MK Eye Liner  and of course MK's Ultimate Mascara in black.
For my lips I am wearing MK's Au Naturel NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss.

 I top the whole look with another one of my personal favs... MK's Finishing Spray!! :)


And there you have it... I guess it's obvious now why becoming an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay was the right choice for me!!! :) Besides all the obvious perks of the job I am so thankful to work with a company that was founded by such a strong and powerful woman, Mary Kay Ash, who started the company to simply enrich the lives of women!
I am so grateful for this blessing and can't wait to see where my Mary Kay journey takes me.

So things have been a little crazy at the Boozer house lately... 

especially for my little man! April has been a month full of big changes for him.

He kicked off the month by joining soccer and needless to say he is LOVING it!!! 

No worries I am not that crazy mom on the side lines screaming at the coaches... because I am the Coach:)  Didn't see that coming... Did you?? 

I gotta say my boy is crazy good!!!

He can totally "bend it like Beckham", and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom!!! 

(or at least I don't think that's why I believe it) haha 

He has honestly scored more then one goal in each of the games he has played!

Plus our AWESOME team, the Columbus Crew,  has an amazing record of 6-1:) 

and Jonathon is having a TON of fun and making LOTS of new friends!!!

So with soccer came the amazing Spring weather we have been having! 

and since it's been getting warmer here, I got this crazy idea that my little baby should get his first "BIG" hair cut so he wouldn't be so hot and sweaty! Don't get me wrong, the boy gets his hair cut all the time, but it grows like a weed and has NEVER been short. 

I have just NEVER had the courage to really CUT his hair... until now:) 

What do you think? 

Okay so for the kid who hates change he was already having a chaotic month and then "it" happened!!! 

Is the suspense killing you???? 

He lost his first tooth!!! That's right, my little baby is growing up so fast!!! 

So we were at a friends house last weekend and the kiddos were jumping in a bounce house when Jonathon somehow hit his mouth on something or someone. He didn't cry but he was whiny so I checked out the situation and saw his tooth was bleeding a little and was a little wiggly... (this was Saturday) and from his constant wiggling and touching the loose tooth the little guy fell out Wednesday afternoon while Jonathon was playing hockey:) Surprisingly there was not too much hysteria following the incident. He was actually really excited until he realized the new tooth didn't pop up right away... He is NOT happy about the space!! LOL 

I just keep telling him he finally looks like a REAL hockey player!!

So anyway, I knew right away that I wanted to do something special from the Tooth Fairy so I made this cute pillow box and added a cute little "Tooth" Fairy which I found in the Silhouette Store and cut and assembled! I also wrote a little note in glitter pen  (aka fairy dust) telling Jonathon how proud we are of him and how he needs to make sure he brushes his teeth to keep them healthy! 

the note reads: 

Jonathon, Congratulations on loosing your very 1st tooth.

Mommy and Daddy and I are so proud of you!

Remember it's VERY important to brush 2 

times a day to keep your teeth happy and healthy.

Love, The Tooth Fairy

He was SO excited when he found it in his bed and EVEN
 more excited when he got to put his money in his piggy bank:)
The Tooth Fairy is officially AWESOME in his opinion!!!! and mine too!!:)
April was such a fun month!!! I can't wait to see what May has in store for us!


Update: For everyone who inquired about how much moolahh the little fella actually got...
I am here to tell you, he only got $1.00:) It seems like these days the going rate for the tooth fairy is on a steady increase... apparently she does NOT know about the recession! LOL but in The Boozer household the decision has been made! Our lovely little tooth fairy is offering up $1.00 per tooth! Neatly wrapped with a special little note!!!

Here it is when I took it off the screw driver. 

Then you just take some hot glue and add it to the circular piece 

(that was in the center of the spiral) and press the rolled flower down. 

It's important that you tighten or loosen the "petals" quickly while the glue is still wet. 

The wreath was just one of the cheapies from the Dollar Tree (my favorite store EVER). The styrofoam tends to crumble apart over time so I always wrap the wreaths with ribbon before I decorate them. 

Then I just used hot glue and put the flowers onto the wreath tightly together covering the inside top and outer edges. The wreath is flat in the back which works great if you want to attach it to a piece of wood or even to hang it on a door. 

 There you have it... a fun spring wreath that is inexpensive and beautiful!!! I hope my package pal is loving it!!!! I can't wait to make one for myself:) Happy Spring!!! 

Valerie sent me this super cute ruffle apron and some fun crafting goodies!!! 

Hello my bloggy friends! I am soooo terribly sorry I have been gone for so long.

 I have been SO sick!!! 

I'm talking laying on the couch all day, can't swallow, or turn my neck SICK! 

It seems to be never ending because every time I feel a little better I wake up twice as bad!

 Like most mommy's out there when I'm sick I fall SO far behind on everything.. dishes, laundry, dusting, vacuuming, and especially this little old blog of mine. So while I'm catching up on all that super fun stuff, I wanted to stop in and let you all know why I have been gone and also announce 

the winner of the AquaNotes giveaway!!!

drum roll please....

Thank you so much to everyone who entered!!! 

I honestly appreciate all of my readers more then I can ever explain and can't wait to bring you many more chances to win some awesome prizes. 

In the mean time here is a sneak peek of what is coming up on the blog! 

So a few weeks ago I was given the AMAZING opportunity to review the AquaNotes Waterproof Tablets and I have to admit, they more then exceeded my expectations! The waterproof tablet is AMAZING!!!



So lets get right into it! I'm a stay at home mother of 2 young kids and I am always on the go. Most days the only time I am EVER ALONE is when I am in the shower. It is literally the only time I can hear myself think. The only time I can actually complete a thought without hearing "Mommy, where's my shoes", "Jonathon's touching me", "She stuck her tongue out at me"... You get the picture right?
On top of having a crazy hectic life you all know about my obsessive LOVE of list making!!!
Seriously, there is no better feeling to me then a pen on paper.. Sigh*  So, naturally you can understand how  the concept of mixing 2 of my favorite things (showering and list making) can make me burst with excitement!
AquaNotes Waterproof Tablets does just that!

completely submerged in the bathtub!

They are amazing!!! I have to admit I had my doubts. I thought they would fall apart in the shower, or the pencil would smear and be really sloppy, but that is just NOT the case. The tablet is AWESOME! It can be completely submerged under water and you can still write on it. After I wrote on the paper I actually used my fingers and tried to rub it off under the water and it didn't even smudge. The eraser, however does an unbelievable job of removing the lead without smearing or ripping the paper. I can not give this product enough praise!!! It truly exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to everyone I know!

When my notepad is gone I will definitely be ordering more!and you can too:)

I just knew these would make the perfect chairs for Sierra's American Girl doll and Bella's knock-off American Girl doll:) What can I say, she is 4 and those babies are expensive!!! 

So a good wash and a few cans of spray paint later and tada!!!!

Best part? The girls absolutely LOVE them:)
