My oldest sister found out she was pregnant right around the holidays and I have been dying for the gender reveal day! We had a small little get together at my house where we had cupcakes, coffee, tea, wine, and little snacks. The most fun part was that the inside of the cupcakes had the filling of either pink (a girl) or blue (a boy). It wasn't 30 minutes into the party and we couldn't wait any longer to find out what they were expecting! My heart leaped with joy when I saw the color blue!</div>

Babies are so much fun. I can't wait for a house full of them myself!</div>

This weekend called for cozy, lazy days.<br />
My husband and I laid
around, laughed at the crazy folks buying bread and milk for the
weekend, drank hot chocolate, and watched season one of Downton Abbey
(which now makes me wish I were British).<br />
<br />
After church
this morning, I had a photo shoot in this chilly weather. I threw on a warm head band and one of my new favorite sweat shirts that I had
monogrammed by a friend of mine....check it out!<br />

It was my birthday on Saturday. So you know that I acted like calories don't count. Because nobody should be on a diet on their birthday. Le duh.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I was kinda dreading stepping on the scale this morning. And by kinda dreading, I mean that I covered my eyes as I was stepping on the scale. No lie.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I ended up LOSING 1.2 lbs! WOOHOOOOOOO! So that puts me at 1_1.6 lbs! <br />
<br />
Yup. This girl is doing the happy dance.<br />
<br />
And you know what I'm going to do to celebrate?<br />
<br />
Eat some light greek yogurt. Womp womp.<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

<br />
The scale has gotten out of control. Like, it's not good. My clothes aren't fitting me as well. And with the holidays coming up, I need to do some serious damage control. I joined a gym. I run on occasion. And I started weight watchers. So this is for real. Y'all are going to be my accountability. Like we're talking real accountability... If you're a personal friend of mine, text me and make sure I'm on track. Or to all of you bloggy friends- email me and tell me to get my booty to the gym that day. I'm thinking about creating an Instagram account for meals. Haven't decided on that one yet. <br />
<br />
As of this morning, I weighed 1_2.8 lbs (Muahahaha see what I did there? I'm totally leaving the middle number blank. And I will for a while). Mondays will be my weekly weigh in. And until I like the middle number more, it will be left blank. <br />
<br />
It's a bit daunting- knowing that technically anybody in the world could be holding me accountable to this. I'm actually forced to be successful now that I put it out there. <br />
<br />
I'm flipping out, y'all. Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Capturing those sweet moments in life are priceless to me.<br />

I'm in the process of redesigning my Facebook photography page (Amanda Woodruff Photography) and made a couple of banners for the Fall/Christmas.<br />

I started photography years ago, but never really got serious about it till recently. After I got married I tried changing my photography name, but since I had so many 'likes' I am stuck with my maiden name. (Honestly I love it. Very sentimental to me.)</div>

I'll be posting different photo sessions here and there through out the year. Eventually I'll get an extremely nice camera worth thousands, but for now I'll just deal with what I have! </div>

Matte nails. <br />
<br />
When I got my matte top coat from Essie last year, I wanted to try it on everything. But I quickly learned that you can't pull off a matte nail with every color. I painted my toes (first problem right there) a pastel pink color (second problem), and the matte top coat made it look... gross. There's no other way to describe it. I kept making the mistake of painting the matte top coat on light colors. Then I finally came to my senses. <br />
<br />
I painted my nails Russian Navy by OPI, and then added the top coat. I couldn't love this look more.<br />

I think chopping the hair off was one of the best decisions I could have made- it only takes 5 minutes to dry, 5 minutes to straighten, and it's absolutely amazing. If you are considering cutting a substantial amount of hair, do it. <br />
<br />
Also, FYI: I donated my hair to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths organization. They give the wigs away to cancer patients (unlike Locks of Love, who charge the people for their wigs! CRAZY, right?!).<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, loves!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

However, the problem was I haven't been shopping in forever (no exaggeration) and I feel like everything I have is 'old' and boring. That's when Pinterest saved my life....once again.<br />

It's a pretty big deal since the school she goes to has about 500+ students in EACH GRADE......crazy!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now let's keep in mind this girl is stunning without make up and a fancy hair do, but I had the privilege of fixing her up for court! Kelsey had a picture she found from Pinterest for her hair (picture below) and really didn't have a preference on make up (we went with a light smokey eye and natural, pink-colored lipgloss). She wore a royal blue dress that was absolutely gorgeous on her and BEAUTIFUL Gianni Bini heels that were to die for.</div>

So this is what my home decor "style" was in 2012 (I am gagging as I type the word "style", because the pictures you are about to see would not fall under the category of style. Please forgive me).<br />

Anyhow, I don't know what it was, but I had this huge shift in what I liked as far as interior design (thank GOODNESS). So here's a little glimpse of a few DIY projects that we tackled over the weekend to enhance our little home. I apologize for the phone pictures, but I am planning on taking better pictures this week so you can see it all! :)</div>

Remember the picture of (half of) the laundry room? With the black little hanging thingie with the blue baskets? Well Deej decided to sand it down today, and spray painted it, and now it's hanging in our guest bathroom (aren't those plants ADORABLE? Ikea, y'all).</div>

Lastly, we needed something to make our bedroom more special, so we bought <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Martha-Stewart-Living-Wales-30-in-x-30-in-Metal-Antique-Gold-Framed-Mirror-72930/203024519">this sunburst mirror</a>, and we painted our initials together! It was so much fun. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Fall has finally arrived at the Casa de Magness and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! I love to see the color of the leaves change, feel the cold air coming in, and most of all, wear my boots. There's just something about this time of the year....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">My current, most proud moment has been our house. We recently painted our door a Whythe Blue (all the credit goes to my darling husband and creative mother-in-law) and it turned out to be fabulous! Last week we added an earthy-toned pot, some beautiful plants, and a couple of pumpkins on our front porch to make everything seem more 'homey'. We are loving every bit of it!</span></div>

<br />
1. Nail Polish, Lipstick, and perfume instantly make me feel better about myself.<br />
<br />
2. I am pretty sure that I am going to have to start cutting out processed foods. I feel yucky 95% of the time. This might be a new topic that I start blogging about. Prepare yoselves.<br />
<br />
3. The Divergent book series is absolutely AMAZING. I just finished reading the first book, and I am flipping out because I want to read all of the other ones. If you have not read them yet, change that. NOW.<br />
<br />
4. I like the Salted Caramel Mochas from Starbucks more than the Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I know. Just crucify me already. <br />
<br />
5. This might be my new favorite fall outfit. When it gets cooler, I'll add my cream cardigan to layer. And maybe my herringbone vest. <br />

My husband's aunt gave us these art pieces right before we got married. They were black and we loved them, but we wanted to somehow tie them in with our color scheme in our house. So my talented, creative, and crafty mother-in-law took them and brought them to life by painting them! I love how it looks in our bedroom!</div>

While waiting on my husband to get home for dinner, I decided to paint my nails the color 'You Don't Know Jacques'. I've been so spoiled to getting gel nails done at the salon that I almost forgot how to paint my own (hence the nail polish on my fingers). </div>

Safety first). I realized that I looked like death because I didn't have a lip color. So I proceeded to go to the nearest drug store, and I bought a lipstick that looked a lot like Clinique's Black Honey. It was Revlon's Lip Butter in Fig Jam. While it had a little too much of a brown tint to it, the texture of the lipstick was perfect. I knew that I needed to buy more colors. Well, I finally did it.<br />

I L-O-V-E the color (Raspberry Pie). The texture is amazing. My lips stay moisturized forever. My teeth look super white. Literally, my only complaint is that the tube is a bit difficult to open the first few times that you use it, but that goes away pretty soon. I officially want to buy every other color of this lip butter. I think my husband won't approve of this new addiction. ;)</div>

(Doing my happy dance as we speak.)<br />
<br />
I don't know about you but my list of 'things to do before I die' is growing by the minute. I decided to break down my bucket list into goals I want to meet in a year. (Genius, I know.)<br />
<br />
So here I am, patting myself on the back for being able to scratch off my very first goal of the year: <b>Blogging</b>! If it weren't for Leslyn, I wouldn't know where to start. She had a brilliant idea of team blogging to make it much more interesting.<i> (See blog below for the full story.) </i><br />
<br />
<u>Here are some of my hearts desires for the year:</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Read the entire Bible in a year</li>
<li>Start a blog. <i>(Checking this thing off!)</i></li>
<li>Run a marathon.</li>
<li>Learn how to cook. <i>(Really, really well)</i></li>
<li>Choose to be happy. <i>(Even on the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days)</i></li>
<li>Make a difference in my students lives.</li>
<li>Become a coupon-er. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
I can't wait to dig in and start writing about passions of mine. My prayer is it inspires you all to begin writing. As a teacher, I can only tell you how important writing is in our lives. Adult, teen, kid....we all need it; it gives us a chance to breath, relax, and just have fun. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy blogging and cheers to a year of many firsts!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

We are both Jesus lovers, our husbands are best friends, we are teachers, we love fashion, DIY-ing, Justin Timberlake (but really, who doesn't?), and the list goes on and on. In August, we came up with the brilliant idea to have a blog together. It was the perfect idea, and we instantly thought of a ton of topics to post. The one thing we couldn't figure out? The name.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On a fateful evening at TCBY, Amanda's husband came up with our name- The Freckled Blog. We fell in love with the name. The name made perfect sense- after all, freckles are yet another thing we have in common. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this is the beginning of a journey- let's see where The Freckled Blog takes us. </div>
