The long awaited “AWESOME” post I was going to do on Friday. My child is now feeling much better and I have found time (at 10pm while watching the Rangers FINALLY WIN in a week). Last week we were childless. The kids went for a visit to the grandparents and I had a list a [...]
Nothing like waiting til the last minute, huh? We are about 4 days out from my scheduled c-section and we finally got the nursery done! It has been in the works for a while, but still unorganized and not completely “finished”–until now. A huge weight has been lifted now that it’s done…even though I know [...]
If you missed the first part of the shower (decor, food, and guests), click here to check it out! The “bow tie” part of the shower was a somewhat last minute thought of mine. I can’t stand playing games at baby showers – I’m sorry, “guess the chocolate bar while it is smudged in [...]
Okay, I was going to attempt to put this all into one post, but, uh, there were a TON of pictures. Tarah was our photographer for the shower (THANKS, Tarah!) and she did not disappoint. 180 pictures for a 2 hour shower = not too shabby. As you know (or maybe if you’re new you [...]
Hi. My name is Tarah, and I’ve been a blog slacker. Okay, I’ve actually not felt good the last week, so that’s my real excuse. I know y’all were hoping for a baby shower post, BUT nope, not yet. Pictures are being dispersed as I type. Instead of the much anticipated baby shower crafts, you [...]
Whitney’s baby shower is on Sunday, so I’ve been in high gear preparing for it (and so have the other hostesses!). Whitney DID help with part of it, but she doesn’t have any clue about the rest of it, so all I can give you is a baby shower sneak peek for now. Rest assured, [...]
So, fair warning, this is not a craft post. But I figure we are all (or mostly) women here and the majority of us are moms so I thought maybe I could share my anxieties here and get some advice and support. With the arrival of Benjamin happening in 22 DAYS I am having some [...]
WHAT IS THIS? Well, it is the vintage babydoll crib I used for my baby dolls when I was younger. What you don’t see, that I apparently forgot to take a picture of — an ugly bass fish sticker on the other side. This little piece of history is going to be used by my [...]
Hi. I’m Sars. You may remember me from such great posts as My Least Favorite Things, Worth It: Endorphins, and Worth It: Getaway at the JW. Recently I took a break from blogging while I fulfilled my volunteer commitment in a leadership role. While a fulfilling experience, that is finally winding down and I’m back, [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time on Pinterest lately (big shock there) and not a lot of time creating things myself. Don’t worry, I’m about to shift it into overdrive for Whitney’s baby shower – but until then, here are my “top ten pins” from this week! Enjoy! Don’t forget to follow me on [...]
We love sweet potatoes in our house. We especially love this sweet potato-apple dish. My mother-in-law started this dish, but I’ve changed it a bit. Her version has cranberries, and while I love cranberries, they aren’t always readily available. I normally just make it with the potatoes and apples, but this past few times I’ve [...]
I hope y’all had a great Mother’s Day! I had breakfast made for me, watched a movie with my 2 little boys, giggled with my sweet little girl and they gave me a beautiful new purse. It’s stunning and has purple accents! I love purple! While I know most mothers relax on Mother’s Day, I [...]
And again, with the Tex-Mex food. We clearly have an addiction to it. I found this recipe at Weight Watchers. I did change my version. I never use fat free/reduced fat anything. They seem appealing but they only add in more stuff (typically sugar or sodium) to make the stuff taste decent enough to eat. [...]
I know, I know – I promised a tutorial on the fabric flowers a couple of weeks ago! First of all, do you know how hard it is to take pictures of yourself making something? Well, most of you probably don’t (a few of you feel my pain, though) – it’s not easy! A flower [...]
