If you’ve been reading here for the past couple of weeks, then you have seen me redecorating my boys’ room. I have been using Disney Glidden paint from Walmart to get the look that my boys’ wanted. As I said in my previous posts, I let each of my sons choose 1 color, so that we would have 2 walls that were Moose’s color and 2 walls that were Tater’s color; those colors ended up being “Mickey’s Park” which was a bright green and “Definitely Donald” which is a … [Read more...]
I have a daughter that came to me when I was the “ripe old age” of 20 and she was at the… interesting (to put it gently) age of 15. She was my niece before she was my daughter, so I had known her for her whole life and I had been taking care of her from afar for quite some time, but this was different, she was living with me. It was my first apartment and I had been there learning to pay bills and take care of myself when suddenly I was a mother. We were learning lessons together, at the … [Read more...]
Balloons vs. dog, guess who wins? I've heard of people sleep walking, but this is new to me- I think my dog might need some more training... she never cleans the toilet good enough. This one made me laugh out loud, you can tell he's guilty but how could you ever be mad at a face like that? … [Read more...]
It’s finally here, Barbeque season! I love cooking outside on a warm spring evening… when I say I love cooking outside on a warm spring evening, you should know that I actually mean that I love watching Jason cook. I have never, in my life, barbequed anything! So silly, but I just don’t even know how. I do LOVE a good barbeque though and as everyone knows, you can’t have a great barbeque without Frito-Lay and Pepsi (and for me, Kroger). This weekend we had a fantastic family get … [Read more...]
You know how sometimes in life you just need someone? You just need someone to brighten your day, to remind you that good things can happen to you. I have been having a rough time recently (more on that later) but today I got a visit from the Fairy Hobmother and it definitely brought some sunshine into my day. Who is the Fairy Hobmother? Much to my surprise my fairy hobmother is a guy… but that’s cool. His name is Matt and he visits bloggers to offer them a surprise just for posting about … [Read more...]
Walking into this movie had me confused. I saw the trailers, read the synopsis and still was not exactly sure what this was about. I knew that it had Leo and Toby, beyond that I had no clue what else to expect. I have seen the 1974 version a long, long time ago and so that is what I had it to compare to. The music was updated, the cars were more animated and the overall scenery and costumes were certainly Oscar worthy. Past that- the story is the same. Don’t get me wrong, Leo and Toby both … [Read more...]
If you have been reading here for a while, or if you know me in real life, you may have seen or heard me talk about Krimson Klover before. A while back they sent me the most amazing knit jacket that I have ever worn in my whole entire life, no exaggeration. It is soft and warm and gorgeous! It feels makes me feel glamorous just to put it on, in fact sometimes when I am going to the grocery store and I don’t want to put on a nice shirt, I just throw my Krimson Klover knit jacket on over my … [Read more...]
