Love More, Hate Less





How many times a day or week do you comment and tell people why they're wrong or why you don't agree with something? It's been awhile since I've been negative and had to give my two cents in a debate but I've done it before. I love the quote I always see on Pinterest floating around. "Promote what you love, instead of bashing what you hate." I try to do that with my blog and my life. There's lots of things I love and want to share with you. You probably would quit following me and I wouldn't have any real friends if I was always bashing what I hate. 
Life's too short to be miserable and on the defense.

Kentucky Brewed Tee's reached out to me to help promote their campaign! It's the Love More, Hate Less campaign they've been running for 3 years. In a world where everyone loves to promote what they hate, we need a little more love! 

I'm giving away one of these t-shirts to a person who deserves to have a little love thrown their way. Head over to my Instagram: faithannpatterson and leave a comment and tell me who you think needs a little love send to them and why!

My photographers are a 3 & 5 year old, I'm pretty impressed! Have a great day guys!


Week[end] Recap & G I V E A W A Y


I had a great week last week other than the random cold I came down with Tuesday. It hasn't left me yet but the end is in sight! The office has been grand central station and the phones are ringing off the hook. I had to spell a lot of names and street addresses over the phone due to my nasally accent as of lately. And then I had to say "V as in Victor, O as in Oscar, etc." so 5 minute phone calls turn into 15 or longer. haha The poor people I have to talk to on a daily basis. Jaime brought me coffee and medicene one day because I was getting worse as the day went on. And then brought me flowers for no reason on Friday! He is a sweetheart! Notice how many tissues I used in two days time.



It rained most of the week and stayed around 60 degrees or lower. No cute spring outfits last week. But the weather is looking better this week. I cannot wait for some warmer days and spring outfits.


Feeling sorry for myself at work.


I started going back to the gym, now that we're settled and getting in a grove. I have lots of hard work ahead of me. If for no other reason but so I can fit into all my cute summer clothes! ha! But the day after I went to the gym, my cold came on and I couldn't breathe, stop coughing, and blowing my nose the rest of the week. ha! The devil was pushing against me!

Friday night, I came home to an empty house--which is rare since there is 7 of us living there.it was the perfect night to make a little fire. Which to me, everynight is a perfect night to make a fire. I'm somewhat of a pyromanic. Don't worry, your houses and property are safe! ha! After I had the fire going well, the boys (husband and brothers) came home and we made smores. Nothing too exciting, just nice to be home and with family.


Saturday we got up early and went to the place to get our driver's licence address renewed. We are in the process of apply for a VA Home Loan. It's so very exciting! Hopefully this summer we will be homeowners. My brother and mom came with us because theirs needed updating as well. My mom treated us to breakfast at Blue Bird Cafe. One of our favorite breakfast nooks! Normally we seen a couple family members, a few teachers from various grades, and a friend from high school when we go there. It was nice to be welcomed home by everyone I saw! We used to just get asked "when do you have to leave?" and that always made us sad to think about leaving. But not anymore!


After breakfast, Jaime and I set out to the outlets to get a few more pieces for his work wardrobe. Anytime I got to the outlets I get kind of crazy excited. It's one of my favorite places on earth. haha.



We were almost home around 5 PM, when both our phones went off saying there was a tornado warning in our county! It was kind of scary! The clouds were moving so fast and swirling. Thankfully, nothing dropped down around us but it defintely gave us all a scare.
It hailed hard twice.
Sunday we went to church and even made it to Sunday School! We might have been a little late but it's better than not going! Our preacher's son was baptized that morning. It's so encouraging to see God still working in lives-young and old! I went to Jaime's best friend's baby shower that afternoon. It was the cutest cow/farm themed shower! We're pretty excited to be Aunt Faith and Uncle Jaime! 

This explains us well. Onoery, dysfunctional, and sometimes normal.
Oh yes, I'm teamed up with Sew Cute by Katie for a fun Giveaway! It ends tonight at 6 PM! Head over to my instagram: faithannpatterson to learn how to enter! It's a super cute hot pink envelope clutch/purse with your monogram! I want one myself!


Hope you have a great rest of the week! 

Birthday & Giveaway

Hello lovely readers! Today is my birthday! I turn the big 2-3! Whoop Whoop!



But forreal...I love cake and presents. I wanted to do something for my faithful readers on my birthday because I love giving presents just as much as getting them. So I've teamed up with Heather at Woballe Dog Bow Company for a G I V E A W A Y! I know I have a lot of dog lovers and fur mommies out there! You all will not believe how adorable the bows and collars are that she hand makes by herself!


Thank you Heather and Bella!


When we first brought Charlie home, all I wanted to do was to spoil her. I mean look how little and cute she was.



I got on Etsy and was overwhelmed with all the items they had for our fur baby! I was scrolling page after page when I narrowed down the hunt to just bows I could put in her fuzzy little head. Sounds simple enough right? Ah! So many shops and prices! Knowing my husband, he wouldn't appreciate me spending $5 dollars on a bow for her head. So I found Woballe Dog Bows based on the great prices and beautiful quality. When I found out she was a fellow Marine wife stationed in North Carolina, I was even more excited to purchase the bows.

Her first package from Woballe!

Ever since we got her first package of bows, we haven't shopped anywhere else. They are durable & hold up well even when Charlie manages to get them off and play with them.







Heather has so kindly offered a $10 shop credit to ONE lucky winner!
