ruffled tee

Stephanie featured this fun little tee on her blog this week and I fell in love it's so cute I had to try it myself. I happened to have 2 black fitted tees that someone gave me...they have printing on the front that made them find a home at the back of closet. Now after a little tweaking they'll come out and play more!


It was super easy too for a sewing machine beginner like myself with not an ounce of crafty patience. Give it a try if you get a chance!

1. Guess what's on tonight? Lost!!! Whoa so excited! For the past 3 season premieres I keep saying let's do a Lost party and then never do...maybe for the finale I'll get it together. Who else is watching?

2. Thanks for your sweet comments on boy...he's feeling loads better. Last night we were watching tv and someone poured themselves a glass a milk. We both screamed out "smell it"! I don't think we're paranoid at all now do you?

3. Pug ate the tip of my new bamboo knitting needle. Thank you pug.

4. Speaking of dogs...the Puppy Bowl is on Animal Planet this weekend...so cute!

5. I just spent one too many hours in Cabela's while boy bought himself a new toy. And while drowning in my boredom a little boy walked up to me and informed me that he was wearing a belt, but his pants were still falling down. People tell me random stuff...what can I say.

how to get fired from breakfast duty

This weekend I had a loaf of french bread lying around and thought to myself "I'm going to be the greatest wife ever and make boy some french toast with it". I slice it up, beat up a few eggs, even added some cinnamon and vanilla to the mix, then grabbed for the milk that had yet to be opened and cooked it up and wowed boy with a breakfast feast.

A few hours later...

Boy is sicker than a dog.

We didn't put two and two together until the next morning when boy started feeling better and was craving a bowl of cereal. One bite and the mystery was solved.

Spoiled milk.

I don't get it. The milk had a week before hitting it's expiration date, but it smelled something awful funky.

Guess who's been released of breakfast duties now?

movie dream house

I could spend all day on this website...Hooked on Houses...oh wait I do sometimes! I was browsing the other day and was thinking if I could have one movie house, what would it be? Ha, I know never gonna happen, but a girl can dream right?

It's down to 2 (oh wait thought of one more) ...so hard to pick.

Baby Boom Vermont House

Father of the Bride House

and I do LOVE the California house in The Holiday!

What's your dream movie house?

I've been looking for some new everyday dishes for sometime now. We have a collection of Pottery B@rn's {Sausalito} dinnerware, which I love, but it's huge and fills up the dishwasher way too fast so I usually save it for company. I fell in love with the {Great White Dinnerware} also from Pottery B@rn, but not loving the price. While in Wally World this weekend I browsed through their dinnerware and found these.


They feel and look just the Pottery B@rn ones I wanted, but way cheaper! Gotta love that. Has anyone else noticed how they are really popping up with some great housewares products? I might not be able to whine about going there anymore ha!

We got the call this weekend.

The Girl Scout Cookie call. Can we take a moment for the wonder of these cookies.

{pause}

Okay, so I don't have much of a sweet tooth. That's why I can stand to have a candy jar filled to the brim in my kitchen {fill it with chips and we may have a problem}, but I LOVE Girl Scout Cookies.

This year is our littlest cousins {H} first year in the scouts. This weekend she called me up for her "official" sales call.

Me: Hey Miss H what's going on?

H: Hey, I'm selling cookies do you want to buy some?

Me: Of course, what kinds do you have? (I refrained from telling her she doesn't need to really answer this because I've had the cookie menu memorized before she was even born)

H: Well we have some caramel kinds and some other stuff.

Me: Okay well let me see (I'm calculating in my head how many boxes to freeze this year. I need a box now, a few boxes for boy and then of course you can't forget about the emergency supply for you know the hormonal purposes where these particular cookies and lifetime movie make the world right again. So you have to factor in those and times that by 2 to come up with a total). Okay I've got my order...

{give it to H}

H: Is that all?

Me: What do you mean is that ALL? I just bought 100,000 calories worth of cookies.

This kid knows I'm weak.

girl vs. boy: the diet

Grocery shopping for boy and I always cracks me up. I'm sure the checker can't decide if I'm feeding a family of health nuts or a sugar addict ha! I thought I'd reveal my pantry so together ladies we can cry at the male metabolism. It's so not fair!


By the way boy has LOST 5 pounds this month...he blames it on the oreos.
