Hello Lovies! Today for TTUT hosted by Mrs. Seriously and yours truly, I'm linking up with Emmy for 10 Things to Smile About. It's one of my favorite meme's because I get to brag about things that make me HAPPY!
WARNING: I get super cheesy and lovey dovey. Good thing this doesn't happen very often.
10. Starting the Dukan Diet. I'm losing pounds, inches and squeezing into smaller sizes by watching my diet which makes me SMILE. However, not seeing the Captain has me a little mopey.
9. I booked my trip to Cali earlier this month to spend time with some bloggy friends {and missing that some of you can't be there}. I'm SMILING about staying in this ginormous house with 6 fellow bloggers:
8. When Emma wakes up in the mornings, she comes straight into my room and climbs up into bed with me for some snuggling. She is a GREAT cuddler. That makes me SMILE.
7. My winnings at the casino made me SMILE! This was a penny slot machine, you guys--named after one of my fav movies, The Hangover! I won big money at the card tables though. ;-) CHA-CHING! {Big money=$60}
6. Seeing my Texas teacher friends and having a sleepover at the casino also made me SMILE! We always have a bottle of wine, cheetos and chocolate in our room. But what happens at the casino stays there. That's all I can say. I was sworn to secrecy.

5. After my friendship post yesterday, I have to say that my FRIENDS have made me SMILE this month. Thanks for all the sweet comments. I love you all!
4. This picture of my baby daddy and his little girl warms my cold heart and makes me SMILE.
3. Ringer comes back on today after being on hiatus for WEEKS. If you haven't seen this show or my other favorite, Revenge, you are missing out! Both of these shows make me SMILE!
2. Taking warm Jacuzzi baths with my sweet little Emma Kate makes me SMILE.

1. And now for our BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Shawn and I will be hosting a SWAP! This has been several weeks in the making and our friend, Sweet Aly, finished our button last week so we can officially announce it! All of the nitty gritty details will be posted later this week {packages will need be delivered later next month} so if you are interested, tell me in the comments (or email me). Space will be limited but I would love for you to swap with us!
Here's our cute little button! Thanks Aly! You're the BEST!













46 peeps showin' some love:
I hope Ringer can catch my attention again. After such a long break it might be hard!
That IS big money - Yay you!
That is an AHHHHdorable pic of baby daddy & sweet Emma. Oh my gosh she is so stinkin cute!
The Cali house looks super amazing. Why again can't I go? DAMN budgets!!!
What a sweet little face in the jacuzzi!
My boys make me smile every day. Of course they also make me sigh heavily, roll my eyes and drink, but they do make me smile. :)
Have a great day!
Poor Emma and another half naked pic---she is going to kill you when she gets older and finds this blog!
Hmmmm, cheetos and chocolate? I do need to increase my dairy intake....
And for sure, count me in on the swap, sounds like fun!
Emma is just way to adorable :)
So jealous over the Cali trip and going to a casino, I seriously need to get the heck out of Ohio for awhile.
What makes me smile :)
When my kids say I love you mommy.
Best sentence in the world.
Love your list - especially number 2!!!!!!
And that casino pic - I can tell you have lost weight!!! Your face and waist look skinner - even if you are wearing a vest of some sort.
Keep it up momma!

Your happy list makes me happy. Emma is such a cutie!!! My kiddo's have ears that they can thank me for but I'm hoping that is a good thing.. hah..
You know I'm signed up for the swap!!
I have really missed Ringer.
Keith drank all of my Captain.
I can't wait to go to California!!!

All great things to be happy about. And "bad hair", I'm just sayin.... you're crazy silly goose... LOL :) And still envious about CA :)

That pic of Emma and her daddy is PRESH!! I want a girl!!
And her ears omg I would be kissing them all.day.long!!! I have a thing for kissing ears. They have to be cold though. It's so cute if I forget to do it before I tuck Colin into bed he's all like "mom you gotta kiss my ears!!" lol
xoxo
What makes me happy?Wine and Cheese!
Snuggling with my boys makes me smile too.
Any time you end up with more money than you started with when gambling, it's a win.

Yea!! Great things! And I first have to say-you look great "bad hair" and all in the teacher picture.
How many pennies did you use before you won? ;) Most likely not 18.45 worth.
And what a perfect way to wake up in the morning!
Thanks for linking up

Loving your 10 things that make you smile!! Congrats on the winnings at the casino! They have a Hangover machine?? Man, I need to go lose some money. I haven't been to the casino since the last time I took my Granny. *sadz face*
You look great in the pic! I'm with Becca, your face definitely looks thinner...and your hair does NOT look bad! You NEVER have a bad hair day. As if.
Your swap sounds fun...serious, but impulsive. I like it.
I love Revenge too! It's really addicting once you get on board, haha. It sounds like you had the best girl's night, those are my favorite nights. Aaand of course I want to participate in your blog swap! I just participated in my first one and loved it! Bring on round 2.
You know your daughter is painfully adorable, right? :)
I'm LOVE to participate in this swap! Consider me in! (bethwade1@gmail.com)
SO jealz of your upcoming Cali trip! Do you get to take a break from Dukan when you go? I hope so. I'll bet Capt is pissed about you leaving him!
How could Emma NOT make anyone smile! Too freakin cute!
Happy Tuesday!
Your little girl is just so adorable! I wish my son would wake up and cuddle with me, he just wants to watch tv!
Blog swap sounds fun!! Hopefully I can do that! !
Just what kind of swap is this? Husband? I know you live in a Swingers town, so I'm wary! ;-)
awww Emma cuddles! I can't wait for snuggles with my little Roo. How sweet!
That is big money for a penny machine! Good job!!
I need to know more info about the swap before I commit. I'm kinda funny about them.
I can't wait to snuggle with my baby girl. I hope she's a snuggler. If not, Mr. Vinnie is a great snuggler.
Emma is the cutest.
I blogged and linked.
Feel my forehead. Do I feel hot?? I might be coming down with something.
OMG, I have missed The Ringer so much!!! Revenge is great too, but The Ringer is better in my opinion.
I'm so excited Ringer's coming back on tonight - and can't wait to see what happens next on Revenge! :)
That trip sounds like so much fun!!
And I'm giggling over your 'big money' win. ;)
Thanks so much for hosting - and I'm definitely intrigued by the Swap! :)

Whatever! is all I have to say to your so-called "bad hair". No wait, I have more...your hair looks gorgeous in all your pics. I would kill (or at least maim) for hair that looks that "bad". Okay, I'm done. Emma is a doll. As far as the swap, I'm sad. I want to swap and make new friends but I can't seem to keep my blog-wagon rolling. BIG :( Thanks for letting me blogstalk you though.
I still need to watch Ringer and Revenge, I've heard good things. :)
You look gorgeous with "bad hair."
LOL
Jealous about the trip to Cali, but there's a SLIGHT possibility I can visit. Maybe. I don't know yet. But maybe.
whatevs. you look adorable in that pic! Now, more details on this swap please?
RE: steamy book author: Sophie Oak. Read the Nights in Bliss series.
How cute is that picture of bath time? awww :)
AND pick me, pick me! I would love to do a blog swap. I don't even care what it is, bc it sounds fun! :)
And California with bloggy friends? Pack me in your suitcase, girl! Have fun :)
soooo jealous of your Cali meetup and that fab house!!
I need to catch up on Revenge, I love it but forget all of the time to watch it, it's a good things I have a DVR!
I think you're way to hard on yourself and don't take enough time to do what's necessary for YOU! You know what I'm talking about and that's all I'm going to say.
You better be careful throughout the S word around, someone from McHellister may hear you and get the wrong idea!
Sounds like great things are coming up with you. I love the pic with M and Emma Kate.
Wow! You definitely have a lot to smile about. :) Life is good!
xoxo
Yay. Congrats on your diet! You little girl is adorable. (I've got baby fever so stinkin' bad. i want a little girl!!!)
I want in on the swap!! Gimme details! :)
The baby blues your family has will always be something to smile at! What a beautiful family you have!
--Congrats on your Weight! WOW.
I love that you will be meeing your blogging buddies.
Have you met any of them yet?
Awesome.
I love what makes you :). xxx
I usually read all your posts in my inbox... I don't always log on to my computer to comment. Sorry.. I suck that way.
That being said, I don't know you that well but think you are fabulous!! I love your 10 things. Those are definitely smile worthy!
All very smile-worthy things!
And HELL to the O! Ringer! ...dun, dun, dun!!!
And now onto Revenge which I think will leave me even MORE dying to know what's next!
I am totally eaten up with jealousy that you have a jacuzzi tub. I may have to stop talking to you--or move in.
What's a swap? Do I want to play?
Yay for booking your trip to CA!! I wish I could be out there!
i still haven't seen ringer - even though you recommended it to me ages ago. however, I did get off my butt and sign up for hulu, so it is on my list! i can't believe I don't get the CW!
do you watch OTH?
