Time to Meet the Family

It is that time on The Bachelor where we get to meet the crazy families. I have to admit that I didn't watch the full episode because I was in and out of the room helping my dad last night, so today's recap will be super short.

The night started off with Chris kicking Britt to the curb. I mean let's be honest...there was no way that a girl that slept with her makeup on was going to live in a small town and be a farmer's wife. It just took Prince Farming some time to figure that out...with a little help from Carley. Speaking of Carley, can she be my best friend? I love that girls honesty and the fact that she is not afraid to tell it like it is. Unfortunately she didn't receive a rose and couldn't bring Chris home to meet her family, but I'm calling for her to be the next Bachelorette! She would be hilarious!

So that left Becca, Whitney, Kaitlyn and Jade to take Chris home to meet their families. The only girl's hometown that I saw all of was Whitney's and let me tell you...I'm am 99% positive that she get's the final rose! Call me optimistic, but their connection is just too real and I could actually see her living on a farm.

In the end, Chris sent Jade home without a rose. Can't wait to see what happens on next week's episode!

Just Checking In...

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend and had a great Valentine's Day. As you may have noticed, I have been MIA since the end of last week. Unfortunately I have been hit with a massive cold that my allergies have taken over. I have been the most miserable person for the past couple of days because not only do I have stuffy sinuses, I'm dealing with itchy eyes and migraines. I'm not complaining, but I have definitely been down for the count. Hopefully I will turn the corner this week and start to feel more like myself within the coming days...cross your fingers for me!
I have some exciting content coming up these next few weeks, so stay tuned! Thanks for hanging in there with me while I try to beat this darn cold! Lots of love!

Deadwood, SD Gets a Visit from The Bachelor

It's Tuesday! That means it's time for another Bachelor recap. We started off with Kelsey having her "panic attack" which succeeded because she got the rose and Samantha and Mackenzie were sent packing. Then it was off to Deadwood, SD for the week with Prince Farming and his ladies.

Becca got the first one-on-one and she seems like such a genuine person. She finally shared her first kiss with Chris after they went horseback riding! She did receive the rose at the end of the night.

The group date was interesting to say the least. The girls got a surprise from Big & Rich where they had to write their own songs to perform for Chris. The girls did a great job and almost brought Chris to tears. It wasn't until the second part of the date where the drama ensued. Chris decided to leave all the other girls and take Britt to a special concert with Big & Rich where he gave her the rose. He legitimately just left the other girls sitting back at the bar...not cool Chris, not cool!!!

The ultimate two-on-one date was with Kelsey and Ashley! Kelsey had already had a confrontation with some of the other girls earlier in the week in regards to her fakeness and Ashley was ready to kick some ass and send Kelsey home! I will make a long story short....Ashley tells Chris that Kelsey is fake and no one likes her, Chris asks Kelsey why she is being fake, Kelsey tells Chris that Ashley is immature, and Chris sends both Ashley and Kelsey home!! Finally the two drama queens are gone!

The best part of the episode was the girls celebrating the producer taking Kelsey's suitcase!! To quote Kaitlyn..."Let's get drunk!!!"

Currently Craving

I just so happened to pop on over to the Sole Society website this morning and they are killing it at the shoe game! I'm sure I've probably said this before, but I am totally shoe-obsessed!! There are way more pairs of shoes in my closet than I would like to admit and I am constantly on the hunt for my next new pair. I just had to share some of my faves from Sole Society...
