Here goes nothin'

Hi ya'll! I am so excited to start blogging! I have been wanting to start one that could combine all my interests for quite some time.

Just a quick introduction about this little fam you are following!

I am married to my best friend Brandon.  We have been married for 3 1/2 years.
Brandon works as a heavy equipment mechanic and commutes to work every day an hour each way. He has a down right obsession with all New England sports teams (he is originally from there).  He served in the USMC for four years, which is why we met!


Mama to my yellow lab, Sir Brady of New England (like I said my husband is from New England). He is almost 4 and sheds like a maniac. If you have any secrets on how to control shedding, we are always open!!!!!



Mama to my crazy sweet little boy Zeke!  Zeke will be a whopping 2 in January! He has seriously brought the most joy in our lives ever.  He has the funniest little personality and is always keeping us on our toes.


I am a born and raised Southern Californian!  I work full time as a learning consultant. 


I have a deep love for the Denver Broncos (my dad is from Colorado and we stuck with his team).

I have a full on obsession with Pinterest and believe I have found a new business, a new hobby, or new ways to do things every time I peruse Pinterest.

I love hosting anything from small get togethers to big themed parties.

I pretend to be an interior decorator, but am far far far from it. On the same note, turning our house into a home with my great interior design skills is always a blast!

I love love love love Target! And I am always looking for a great deal on any store's racks!

I hope you enjoy "Following the Kirks"

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting!  We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise.  It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time!  Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes!

The Kirks take over NH

Or the other way around! After our quick trip to NH, I felt slightly dominated. Let's start with the day before our trip when we were trying to clean out the fridge and finding something to make for dinner was a bit challenging. Well we did it! Mashed potatoes, corn, and chicken. Not bad right? Until the next day..... Our flight didn't leave until 9PM but both Brandon and I were texting each other all day about our upset stomach rendezvous! Brandon gets home from work and immediately hugs the toilet for an hour. I, on the other hand, was going in and out of feeling good and not.  We managed to make it to the airport and board the plane in one piece.  A little piece of advice: just because your slightly under 2 year old flies free until they are 2 does not mean it is comfortable or feasible!  When he was younger it was definitely doable but almost 2 was extremely challenging. Prepare for landing........or more like me getting sick in a seat with the fasten seatbelt sign on...

Fa La La La La La La La La

As soon as Thanksgiving dinner ended, we immediately switched gears to Christmas.  My sister, my cousin and I left at 8:00 at night to get some Black Friday deals!  We left the chitlens with their dads and went on our way.  Toys R Us was brutal but we made it out in one piece. Target looked rough when we first walked in but ended up being very fast with an easy checkout.  Nathan gave up at the Target point and went to the truck to go to sleep......really?!  Kohls was so bad we walked in and walked right back out! Nothing there was worth a 4 hour wait!  The day after Thanksgiving always calls for champagne, Eggs Benedict, waffles, and golfing for the guys. This year we added Christmas decorating to the list.  We had our little elf out from Illinois do we needed to use him to our best ability.  My parent's house was all done by the end of Friday! Wowzers!  They have such a beautiful house that no matter what it will look amazing, but Nathan did...
