Last weekend was our first Halloween adventure…trick or treating in Royal Oak. The store where I work, Hullabaloo had an event with Purple Tree Photography and Kelli took pictures of all of the kids in their costumes. This is my fairy….the pink fairy….
Kelli is AWESOME! These small thumbnails don’t do her work justice. I got them this morning and they [...]
I have a new addiction…FACEBOOK. My wonderful Michelle (who doesn’t blog but reads mine all of the time) kept telling me that I needed to get on our high schools Facebook page. Mich and I did not know each other in HS…we met much later in life. So today I finally looked up our old [...]
Mondays always suck but today it our first really cold, rainy, dreary day in a long time. And they are predicting snow showers for this afternoon. YUCK! Luckily this weekend I found Avery an adorable winter coat, hat, gloves, and scarf. Now today it’s off to find some boots.
As for Christmas, I started my Christmas [...]
So today kicks off a week long Halloween celebration. We have 3 events today…one on Thursday…and of course Halloween is Friday. I am dressing Avery in her pink fairy costume tomorrow to visit my Grandma in the nursing home.
And the battle will also begin today…the battle for CANDY. The battle that might ultimately push me [...]
I just joined SITS (see the pretty button on my sidebar?)…and you have to check out their AWESOME November giveaway.
The Secret is in the Sauce rocks – I went there b/c I wanted to find fabulously fun blogs to read in addition to those I check daily. And it’s been great! Be sure to hop over [...]
The day before I left on my trip down south my 93 year old Grandma fell in her house – fracturing her wrist and a bone in her neck. While I was gone she had major (for her age) surgery and came through it ok. Now we are dealing with the stubbornness…her refusal of meds [...]
When I told Avery that I was going away for the weekend, I expected tears. What I got instead was a momento from my little sweet girl to take on my “venture”. She pondered it for days and finally she settled on a My Little Pony that she dutifully packed in my suitcase mintues before we [...]
I bought it…months ago. With the greatest intention of devouring every word on every page.
But I am a mom…and I am addicted to TV…and I work part time. So it has sat on my shelf…neglected. Collecting dust.
But today…I pulled it out and inserted my favorite bookmark (a picture of Avery) and have commited myself to [...]
It isn’t the leaves falling from the trees or the crisp morning air that tells me it’s almost hunting season…there’s another scent that drifts into my kitchen at this time every year…
The smell of vinegar and pickling spice. That’s right – it’s time to make pickled eggs for Hubby to take to the cabin. I [...]
Date night turned into a foursome. Myself and 3 guys. And I learned a couple valuable lessons…
1) I can seriously put back some beers. Really, I can. But drinking games don’t work for me. My stomach wasn’t happy by the end of the night. I know I ended up at home, but I am really [...]
My second award!
