Coldplay Story 1

I used to have fun doing these things when I was younger. Figuring it would still be just as fun as it was back then, I decided to share a few of these with you. I'll do a couple within the next few weeks. I like to make silly stories out of song titles from bands! Maybe some of you will like these posts enough to create your own or request a band I do the stories with and leave them in the comment section below!

I used Coldplay as my inspiration today, and I will probably have one more from these guys soon. Enjoy!

Careful Where You Stand for you may get Lost! If you do find yourself in Trouble, A Sky Full of Stars could be your guide, your Atlas. It may lead you to the Cemeteries of London where Death and All His Friends gather at Midnight. Yellow Sparks will be the Warning Sign of the Spies who will come at you like the Speed of Sound. If they attack, it'll be like A Rush of Blood to the Head. Then they will have the Princess of China preform the Chinese Sleep Chant on you. You may see White Shadows appear, and perhaps even feel like you are Up With The Birds. It may even Hurt Like Heaven. But fear not, Moses will part Oceans to find you and Fix You. I hope this story doesn't send you a Shiver.

It's Scott's 21st! Party!

Hey everyone!

Today is my hubby's 21st birthday! Finally, we are the same age again (well we're only 4 days apart!) but it is an exciting time for the two of us. It has been an eventful last 6 days as every two days was something to celebrate for us all. 

Last night we went down to visit Scott's family to celebrate our birthdays together. It was a fun night for everyone. We had special homemade spaghetti and meat sauce and buffalo chicken dip as requested by my man. We all hung out and had a great time just catching up with one another. After dinner we all waited on the delicious ice cream cake that we all later destroyed... Hey! Who doesn't LOVE a good ice cream cake though, am I right?

To get to cake however, we had to first open our cards and gifts! We both had really sweet, heartfelt cards from his parents and on the inside was a gift card to Olive Garden and one for the movies! His sister then handed us a card that the younger siblings all signed. She was hinting left and right for the two of us to get on making baby no.2 already! The older siblings also handed us another card with a gift card to TGI Fridays. Finally, we cut the cake and all sat down in the family room to watch the new episode of the Walking Dead.

And so to celebrate tonight, we are headed to Olive Garden and straight to the movies to see Kingsman: The Secret Service. I will most likely order the same lasagna I get there every time, but I'm mostly in it for their salad and, of course, their infamous bread sticks! I probably won't toast to his birthday over red wine. I hated the red wine I had over Valentine's Day. Maybe we can try white wine together and split some tiramisu!

Happy Birthday, Scotty. I love you! 

Feel free to wish him a happy birthday in the comments below!

Thanks for reading!

Happy 21st to Me!

On this day 21 years ago, this girl right here was born! (Well, yesterday since I just got around to posting this!). Here are some facts about me so you can all get to know me a little better!


  • My middle name is Michelle, and believe it or not, it's after my father. It's a French thing!
  • I have some pretty cool Irish ancestors. My 3x great uncle John P. Holland invented the submarine. That is pretty cool if you ask me! There are also two authors in my family's past: Tomas and Sean O'Crohan. They were from Great Blasket Island, Ireland. Tomas' book is called The Islandman, and Sean's is called A Day in Our LIfe.
  • I am a quarter Danish, very Irish, pretty French, got a little Portuguese in the mix plus a few others...
  • I have traveled to 25 states and to Canada. Hoping for Denmark very soon!
  • I could sit on real estate sites all day... I know, I'm weird.
  • I could eat mac 'n cheese everyday for the rest of my life and never complain!
  • Thrift stores and tag sales are my favorite kind of shopping!
  • I suck at crocheting but I love it. One day my basic skills won't be so basic! 
  • I have a dream that one day I'll own my own thrift store, or an Etsy shop. I want to do something that incoorporates my favorite things.
  • I share my birthday with 5 other people that I know. One being my future mother-in-law and the other actually being born yesterday!
Enough about me, what about you?

P.S. Sorry this is coming a day late! As it was my 21st birthday my family took me out for a few drinks and I fell asleep the second I got home!


Trying a Washington and a Candy Appletini!

Meet Scott!

Scott and I have been together for a year and a half. Believe me when I say we move very fast. We met in October 2013 and by the end of November of that same year, we were engaged. It was a beautiful, and surprising proposal. I knew it would sound crazy to others that we hadn't known each other long, but we didn't care. We were (and still are) in love! He is a very passionate and loving man and I'd love for you all to know a little about him!

  • My hubby was born and raised in New York! He doesn't have a serious accent or anything. He's from the capital region so it isn't that fun Long Island accent that may have just popped into your head. But there are some things he says that I'll make fun of him for. (i.e. Plaza, Aunt, Right, Talk, On) I know they are totally random words but he says 'em funny!
  • He was in the Marine Corp. Currently wants to become a police officer for our local area. Very proud of him and his accomplishments!
  • His birthday is just 4 days after mine! Maybe some of you can leave a comment wishing him a happy birthday sometime this week. (Its this coming Monday!)
  • His dream cars are the Nissan GTR and the Acura NSX..all he ever does is talk about which one he wants more some day lol. I hope for his sake in the future he can somehow have one!
  • He is the second oldest child of 7 children. Six boys and one girl! 
  • He has lived in three states and loves to go to Vegas and Bermuda.
  • He is insanely talented lyrically as well as with the guitar and piano. I keep hounding him to make a YouTube channel because everytime a song comes on the radio he makes the most hilarious parodies out of them!
  • Last but not least, he is an amazing father! Having all of those younger siblings was good practice for the real thing, huh?
Thats All For Now,

Last Minute Valentine's Day Gifts For Him & Her!!

Sometimes we forget... or we just put it off until the last minute because some of us are, well.. you know, professional procrastinators! ;) Either way it is time to get our lazy butts in gear and get started preparing for Valentine's Day! Here are a few ideas for him and for her that may inspire you this V-Day :)

For Him:

  • Send him some chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements.
  • Buy him a box of chocolates.
  • You could buy him some nice cologne to wear on your dates.
  • Get him a MAN CRATE. They have so many different kinds. Go to: http://www.mancrates.com They have the coolest gift ideas for guys here. You can't go wrong.
  • Just like men get women fancy lingere, get him some nice boxers, or get funny cheesy ones to be silly but sweet.
  • A nice watch. Doesn't have to be super expensive.
  • Make a box filled with pictures, old movie ticket stubs, love notes, etc. Decorate it!
  • Make love coupons! <3
  • Leave post-it's all over the house with "I love you" written in a bunch of languages or with different reasons why.
  • For very last minute, go to the grocery store and get some fixings for a really nice dinner-for-two in. Use some mood lighting with some candles and have some cupcakes for later and pick out some rom-coms to watch on the couch together!
  • Have an indoor picnic! Set it up in your living room. Lay down a blanket and surround yourselves with candels as you both enjoy some wine and some grapes to feed each other with. Or ya know. Whatever other food ya want to eat haha.
  • Creative spin the bottle for two. 
  • Go out or stay in and share a milkshake.
  • Go to Things Remembered and have something there engraved.
  • Go to http://www.wordsearchmaker.net
For Her:
  • Edible Arrangements.
  • A flower boquet. Doesn't always have to be roses. Could be her favorite flower or just something you picked out special for her.
  • Cook her a dinner with a nice dessert. Maybe even do the dishes for her. Trust me, she will love and appreciate it.
  • Have flowers and chocolates delivered to her work or school and make her feel special!
  • Write her a poem or love letter. Better than any material gift!
  • A gift card to the spa or salon.
  • A jewelry box with or without a little something inside.
  • A promise ring. Or a beautiful necklace.
  • Buy her a new dress and lay it out with some shoes and jewelry you want her in. Leave a note next to it saying be ready at this time. Take her to a place where reservations are required and make the night feel elegant and fancy for the two of you. It will be a night to remember!
So there you have it lovebirds. Have fun...but not too much fun! Maybe some of you will get some November babies out of the deal, haha!

Love,
Bree
