Oh Happy Day! My husband is finally home from pheasant hunting in South Dakota! I'm always glad to see him after he's been gone of course, but after 5 days of sickness in our house without him around to help out...man, am I glad to have him back. Of course, Little Bit's fever broke this afternoon and I'm definitely on the mend as well, now that Daddy is finally home. … [Read more...]
Hillbillies, Haute Couture, and Halloween….a few random thoughts.
Sorry for a few days of silence. We went to the mountains again. It was gorgemous! Sigh... The leaves were changing and will probably be in peak color mode this week. We had a great time with friends playing, hiking, and roasting marshmallows. Same simple pleasures as the last time...different friends this time...chocked full of laughs and memories and general awesomeness … [Read more...]
Touchdown….Oreo!
There are so many things I love about fall that it's hard to condense it all down, but one thing I love for sure is football. My Hubs is a Texas Longhorns fan, and thus I have become one as well. My kids love football and play pretty much every day...some form of it anyhow since they are 5 and not quite 2. When Tid Bit turned 4, we had a football birthday party. The Hubs … [Read more...]
S’mores Anyone?
Pictures really do speak more than 1000 words sometimes. So, I thought I'd share a few from our weekend away with friends to my family's mountain cabin. It's one of my most favorite places in the world...that cabin. In the middle of nowhere, through a gorge, over a mountain, down a dirt road, and tucked into a little piece of heaven that holds memories for me since before … [Read more...]
Life’s too short not to have….
Friends...amidst endless piles of laundry yesterday I found myself at a real crossroads. I have been saving for a few months now to re-do my laundry room. It's a great space that needs some reworking, but has great potential for wall to ceiling storage that would make a huge difference in the way my kitchen and laundry room function. I only have a tiny pantry now and so … [Read more...]
A Crucial Tooth…
Yesterday my baby (19 months) was running down the driveway and took a spill. He started crying pretty hard...the kind where there's a pause before the scream so you know it really hurt. And then when I picked him up, his poor sweet mouth was gushing blood....gushing. I'm not new to little boys getting busted lips and bleeding, but I'd by lying to say that it doesn't freak … [Read more...]
Jello Aquariums and Hot Dog Noodlers
Once in a while, I get hit upside the head with an inspiration that gets me going on a roll to want to try a couple of new things. That happened to me yesterday when I was looking around on Pinterest. Pinterest is one of my most favorite ways to veg and to be inspired these days. In fact, I like it so much that I honestly have to ration my time on it. In case you don't know … [Read more...]
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Giveaway
Once in awhile, in the midst of pursuing doing something that you love... and persevering through the parts that you hate of doing the thing that you love, you find something that can entirely eliminate the parts that you hate from the thing that you love...and that...well, that is just pure love leftover. I found something like that. And no...it's not a robot that cleans my … [Read more...]

Paper Straws They come in loads of colors and patterns. I'm thinking I need to have them on hand...you never know when you might need a little extra pizazz in a drink. And they do add … [Read more...]
Oh Goody Goody….almost!
Remember when I wrote about my most favorite slippers ever a LONG time ago? Goody Goody Bon Bons Well, my friend Lindsey sent me a link the other day to a PDF pattern for some slippers and said, "I think you should make these." Cute huh? I've never made slippers though, but what's the worst that will happen? About the worst case scenario I could come up with was to spend $6 … [Read more...]
Rustic Chic Wedding….Finally Have Pictures!!!
Oh my words....GIDDY as I write this!You know the wedding I told you about, that I did the flowers and decor for a couple of weeks ago? The one I told you I was so busy working on that I didn't get to take a single picture of any of the arrangements or staging that I'd done? The one I'd have been sick to my stomach over not documenting myself had my good friend Kim … [Read more...]
What’s Cooking?! Play Dough Cookies….
You know sometimes you have certain childhood memories that just stick out in your mind? Fun things you did that you look forward to doing with your kids when you grow up too? I have a decent sized handful of things we did since my mom and her friends were super fun and creative. We had cotton candy and lemonade stands, we created a 1950's diner and … [Read more...]

A 24 Hour Bathroom Re-Do!
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I said that I had an itch to re-do my kids' bathroom? Well, last night the Hubs had a meeting, so I got to work with a can of paint and a brush and went to town on that bathroom. And now, less than 24 hours later, the bathroom mini renovation is done! Well done enough that the itch is over and I can mess with it more … [Read more...]
Potty Talk…Bathroom Inspiration
I don't know about you all, but sometimes there are certain rooms in my house that completely elude me when it comes to how to decorate them. Bathrooms are generally harder for me than other rooms..mostly because there are the same certain elements that you have to deal with and unless you're overhauling and re-doing tile and cabinetry, you're kinda working with what … [Read more...]
