A little DIY

By on December 11, 2012

I love Pinterest.  It gives you so many ideas for crafty things to do! I have seen several shoe remakes on the site, so I thought I would give it a shot with a pair of plain black shoes that I own.  I used a silver sharpie and went to town on them while watching […]

A Tooth Fairy pillow for the horse crazy girl

By on

This was a pretty quick make for the girl.  She has already lost two teeth, so I am a bit late.  In my defense, the first one she lost was on our trip to Seattle this summer, while we were on a walk. I wasn’t prepared! Her big tooth is on the cusp of coming […]

A boring Friday outfit

By on December 10, 2012

So here is another of my “Friday” outfits, where I can wear JEANS to work. Yay! So, here I am in my boring GAP mom jeans with no blingy bling on the butt. I am also wearing boring comfy shoes. Because my back hurts like a son of a B…. My to-do list includes a […]

A little bit of rock and roll

By on December 8, 2012

I hadn’t gotten hardly any sleep the night before, so I needed a bit “fun” to perk me up. I hate it when that happens…sleep has not been my friend lately.  My eyes seem to be perpetually bloodshot, so that is a REALLY good look. The day before I had to go get the girl […]

Drama

By on December 6, 2012

This coat is something I purchased probably 4 or 5 years ago, and I just love it.  Last year it was a bit too big for me, so I was bummed.   *Luckily* I gained weight, so it fits again. There is a bright side to everything, right?? I had a meeting with some bankers […]

Christmas Card Outfits

By on November 26, 2012

Every year I have to try to make a creative and fun Christmas card. The kids, of course, need fancy schmancy clothes for the photoshoot, too.  🙂 I went with the traditional reds of Christmas for this photoshoot. Unfortunately, reds go supersonic on my Nikon D50, so excuse the excessive redness of the RED. ~~~~~ […]

The long wait…

By on November 20, 2012

Ah, instant gratification of walking into a store and coming home with your purchase… Not if you want a deal! It took about a month to get these boots from Zulily, but for over 50% off…it was worth it!  I have a bad Zulily shopping habit lately.  I think I need to step away from […]

The challenge

By on November 16, 2012

The Girl needed some new tights, having grown several inches since last winter.  I may have actually bought them the winter before…well, anyways, she GREW. I got some good universal knit tights in black and white from Target, and was told by the girl that she wasn’t a fan of the non-colorful tights.  She still wore […]

Laptop cover/cozy/bag…etc.

By on November 14, 2012

This spring my company moved from using IBM laptops to Macbook Air’s. I won’t get into how little love there is in my heart for the Mac.  Nothing like stepping back about 5 years technology-wise!  At least it surfs the Internets real good…and that is what we should be looking for in a machine for […]

Overlooking a river valley

By on November 13, 2012

Once a year I like to get us all looking nice and go to a location to take a family picture.  I much prefer summertime, as I am not a cold weather lover. This was a few weeks back, and it was a wonderful warm autumn day in between several very cold days. It is […]
