Blessed

Blessed is the influence of one true,

loving human soul on another.

                                 Good Morning

I was sitting at the breakfast table this morning and I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy watching my little one dunk his blueberries into his syrup dish. It occurred to me that he is almost always content with what he is doing. Wouldn't it be nice to always be content in our adult lives? It also occurred to me that has unconditional love for me as his mommy. No matter how many mistakes I make, he will always love me the same. His love is the only thing I need to get me through each day. He brings me so much joy, and I hope everyone gets to experience this kind of a love.

Have a wonderful day, everyone. Despite the weather, your current situation, or how annoying your boss is, make it a good day because you will never get it back.

The Big Move

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a beautiful day. We have been thinking about redoing our bedroom for quite some time now, so we went to our local American Furniture and an idea came to us. "What if we moved to the basement?"

My mom has a photography studio in the basement and we came up with the idea of switching our room with the studio. we could then personalize the entire basement level like our own little apartment. We proposed the idea to my parents, and... it worked. We are officially moving downstairs and the move starts today.

We have a long skinny space to work with and we love the ide of "black, white, and grey". I will upload pictures as soon as we finish. Wish us luck!

Homemade Pizza Rolls

What you'll need:
1 can of pillsberry croissant rolls
4 string cheese sticks cut in half
16 pepperonis
Your favorite marinara sauce

Instructions:
Preheat over to 375 degrees. Open the can of croissant rolls and unroll the dough. Separate them into 8 triangles. Next place 1/2 of string cheese stick on each triangle on the thick end. Place two pepperonis on top on each string cheese. Roll up the croissant rolls and place in the oven for 12 minutes. Warm about a cup of your favorite marinera sauce and serve and enjoy!

This is one of the easiest recipes you can cook. It's perf for a quick afternoon snack or an appetizer for dinner. They were gone in minutes at my house. It's the perfect recipe for anyone who doesn't know how to cook. Super easy and quick.

Introduction

Hello everyone! It has been quit some time since I have written a blog post and I apologize. I have decided to redo my blog entirely and delete everything I had posted before. I plan on posting my favorite recipes, healthy and unhealthy, as well as makeup and hair tutorials, but first let me introduce myself for those of you who do not know me.

Hi, my name is Eleigh, but a lot of people call me Ella. I'm the mommy of a very sweet little boy named Bauston, and I am married to my best friend Sean. I am a student and currently work at Victoria's Secret, but as much as I love bras and lingerie, I don't plan on working there forever. I recently got hired as an assistant wedding planner and will be working at many weddings during the 2015 season. I am so thankful for such a wonderful opportunity and I can't wait to see what it brings me this year.

My husband Sean is also a student although he is still unsure what he wants to study.

Meet my family!

Our history (in a nutshell):

Sean and I met in march of 2012 and were inseparable ever since.

That summer we found out we were expecting a baby, going into our senior year of high school. Every plan of going to a university and being a normal kid flew out the window and we both worked hard to graduate early in December of 2012. We married January 11th, 2013 and began the wonderful journey or love and happily ever after.

Bauston was born April 9th, 2013. Life has never been better!



 We did everything backwards, got pregnant, got married, graduated high school and then went to college, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I hope you all enjoy my new and improved blog, feel free to request things you would like to see. Thanks for stopping by!
