Efron-athon!...

On Friday some friends came over and we had our very first Efron-athon! We all are pretty big fans of Zac Efron and so we decided to do something about it!! We started off by making t-shirts:This was so much fun! We put song lyrics from High School Musical and Hairspray and then I had everyone sign mine along with writing their favorite Zac quote from a movie! We did all this while belting out to the Hairspray and High School Musical 1, 2, and 3 soundtracks.

We then ate cookies in the shape of hearts for Zac. Then we all picked our favorite parts of his movies and watched them! It was a great time with friends! We hope to make it a monthly thing now and have even come up with our own secret signal :) Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great monday to start off their week!

Peace and Love,

I'm So Tired....

Yay! Fall is finally here. I used to not be a very big fan of it but I think it has grown on me :) School Has been So crazy these past few weeks that I have barely had time for anything. There is so much music that I have been wanting to listen to and books that I have been dying to read but there are just not enough hours in the day. I hope that everyone has been having a good week. I'm so thankful that tomorrow is Thursday because that means there is only one more day until Friday! Whoo Hoo!!!

Peace and Love,

Ocean City And Fried Oreos....

Since we never really had a chance to go on a proper vacation this summer we spent Friday in Ocean City, MD! I had so much fun!! It started out with a trip to the Kite Loft, an old favorite of ours where we would stop on every trip to the beach. Needless to say it ended in me trying on a variety of crazy hats!! Oh and then I found some puppets :) And my sister and I tried on some pretty sweet glasses.

After that we went to lunch at another favorite of ours! The "Brass Balls Bar and Grill." Following lunch we walked the board walk and did some shopping and then headed to the carnival on the beach!! It was my first time on a ferris wheel and I loved it (once I opened my eyes!) Haha dad and I had so much fun on all the rides!! It was a blast!!

On our way out we walked down the dock and had an impromptu photo shoot!!

We ended the day with a delicious lemonade and some fried oreos!! The best things in the world!! I have a new favorite guilty pleasure :) So yummy!!

Anyway I am going to make the most of my last day of summer tomorrow! I will be back soon with a lit of my favorite things of the summer!!

Peace and Love,
