This weeks history lesson...

  So Jake is a HUGE history buff, he actually knows way more than I even thought he did, and the more we talk about it the more I find out about the brains he has been hiding upstairs. (wink wink). There is this new show on History Channel called Hatfields and McCoys, and it is AWESOME! I was on the edge of my seat the entire second half of the show, and of course they ended it on a cliff hanger.


this is an original picture of the actual McCoys right after the civil war. Okay, I know i'm losing you...pretty much its about the 2 families feuding (some say it started because the Hatfields stole  one of the McCoys pigs, I would be mad too! Have you TASTED bacon?!) but it's a TOTAL 19th century Romeo and Juliet story, and I am a SUCKER for any romance! The McCoys are classy as heck in their fighting, and the Hatfields are a little more bad-ass, but the show does such a good job of not getting you on one side or the other, after you think you like the McCoys more, the Hatfields do something to suck you right in! Part 2 of the 3 part series airs tonight and I HIGHLY recommend that you watch it, its got action, romance, comedy, I just love it!

This is the cast:


 isn't his wife GORGEOUS?? Total girl crush on that hot 1800 fashion.




(aka Romeo)

(aka Juliet)

I'm just telling you, watch it! 

In other news, how AWESOME are these jugs?!





 I completely freaked out when Jake brought them home. He bought them at the liquor store by our house (actually he just brought 1 home, he's not some alcoholic!) Here is the BEST part...they were 2.99!!!!!!!!! Yes I said it, 3 measly dollars for this awesome piece of home decor. A simple rinse out and these will look so cool in our new home! I love when you find something fabulous that is an awesome price, that will add a vintage looking element to your home. I am all about them! We haven't even packed them away yet because I can't stop gazing at their adorable-ness. Yes adorable-ness is a word, in my vocabulary at least. I also purchased these trunks today,



how dang cute are these?! Another awesome piece to add to my future Arkansas home! I bought them from my friend Rocky and Amy at Vin.Tique. They make the most awesome custom furniture/home decor, and I go to them for ANY custom project. Check em out here. You won't regret it! Thats all for now, my show is starting!

  1. It's so weird that you posted about this today! My husband DVR'ed it last night. When I asked what it was about he looked at me like I was from another planet. I told him that I'll have to watch it with him so I can get schooled on the Hatfields and McCoys.

  2. Chelsea,

    How funny is that?! I was thinking to myself that this post would bore everyone to sleep, I love that you knew what I was talking about!! You should definitely watch it, we just finished part 2, and it was so good! It's a nice break from my usual trashy housewife shows ;)
