Little A Discovered his Nipples

Okay, I've been weaning my youngest (almost 2) and I guess he was looking for another alternative. Imagine my surprise as I hear, "Milk. Milk?"I look over at Little A who has unzipped his zipper and is actually grabbing his nipples. I try to ignore it, but I once again hear, "Milk?"I smile, "nipples. That is your chest."But he's insistant and smiles really big, "MILK!" Suddenly he's trying to

Crayola Toothbrush Winner

The winner of the Crayola Toothbrush kit is.....CDStardust said...I really like the Crayola Flossers, my 4 year old tries to use real floss or our EZ Thru flossers, its too cute! The way I encourage him to brush his teeth is by saying "you have to say cheese" to brush his fronts, and "you have to say ahhhh" to get his back and sides. He loves it! He always asks "are my teeth clean?" and I will

~*A Little Of This And That*~

Hello dear blogging friends...I hope you all are doing well...to tell you the truth, I'm getting spring fever! I'm longing for spring colors in this drabness of winter...where did I find mine? At Wal-mart...

I picked up a bag of these milk chocolate eggs in the loveliest shade of blue...they also had them in yellow and in green! I have found my little bit of spring at last!
Having the blue eggs made me want to add these two pictures to my hutch.

I never thought I'd be using blue in my kitchen...but I must say that I'm liking it a lot!

I added a touch of spring to my powder room with this silk violet.

This cup always makes me smile, so I added it to the powder room as well.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have you started adding touches of spring to your home as well?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I also want to thank all of you who commented on my post about my milk glass. I'm hoping to find more...watch out thrift stores...here I come!

Love, Kim

~*Hooked On Milk Glass*~

I am hooked on milk glass vases...I just found this one on Wednesday at the thrift store...it was $1.00. I still haven't decided what I'm going to put in it..maybe a lovely little violet...I know it has to be something very springy!

This is a smaller vase...I have been lucky enough to find them in several different sizes.

One of those toothbrushes was the Crayola Timer light toothbrush, this is a favorite for

Wordless Wednesday: Book Reading

Oh we went to the Kansas City Zoo on Valentine's Day and the kids have been looking at pictures of mammals and other types of animals ever since. BabyGirl's favorite animal that she actually got to see, due to some being down for remodeling, was the sea lions. She tried hard to get them to chase the ball by telling them what to do but it didn't happen. It's cold out there, they were sunbathing.

~*A Craft & More Red*~

Happy Friday sweet blogging friends...I honestly don't know where the week has gone. I had planned on starting my spring cleaning this week, but that did not happen...too many places to go and appointments to keep! I hope to start next week!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My dear daughter wanted to give some Valentine goodies to her close friends. I made these little bags. They're the small paper bags that you can find in the craft section of Wal-mart if you're still lucky to have a craft section. I added foam hearts and wrote on the bag with fabric paints. We added the candy and cut out a hole with a heart shaped cutter and added some ribbon. It was very inexpensive to make. The girls all loved them!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After having this table cloth and placemats on my table for a little while now, I decided I wanted a change...
I found this lace table cloth at Wal-mart on clearance for $7.00.
I've been looking at these placemats for months...finally broke down and got them...aren't they pretty? I just LOVE them!
This was a plain natural colored basket...it needed a little pick me up so I decided to paint it RED...yes, I went from a black obsession to a red obsession...I just can't help myself! My husband had asked me what color was next...lol!

Well, that's all for now...thank you so much for coming to visit me...I appreciate it very, very much! Wishing all of you sweet friends a very

Happy Valentine's Day.

Wordless Wednesday

As you may and may not know, two weeks ago I started the process of "Living better and Looking Better." Okay, I actually wanted to lose weight and look great doing it. I think it would build my self-esteem up and make me feel great about the way I looked. I took out the pasta and replaced it with delicious fruits and yummy veggies. I'm no longer drinking 3 fraps a day from Starbucks but the

FIREPROOF: It May just Save Your Marriage

I recently watched Fireproof and wanted to recommend it to all my married friends/bloggers out there. I think this is one of those movies that is needed in every family home. Now I know this isn't a movie that everyone thinks they want to watch at first and yes "GOD" is mentioned throughout it but this movie has such a special meaning.#1 No matter how well you think you know your mate, you can

~*Tweaking My Tweaking*~

Yes, blogging friends....I tweaked my tweaking. The first picture shows how it looked the first time. I felt that something was missing in the middle...the salt and pepper shakers looked too small...while I felt it was okay, it just wasn't right.

While browsing a new blogging friend's blog, Lisa from A Cottage To Me had posted about her new candle from Wal-mart. The style is what I was looking for.
So I found this great candle, thanks to Lisa (I got a different scent though). I also got this wooden candle holder that was on clearance and decided to use it, too.
Thanks for stopping by to see my tweaking! I love your visits. Have a wonderful weekend, dear blogging friends and thank you for all of sweet comments on my previous post about my "tweaking".

Love, Kim

~*Tweaking*~

Good morning sweet friends...I hope you all are well. I am doing good, but getting a little cabin fever. I live at a place called Snowball Hill and believe me, it is living up to it's name! We've been getting snow, snow and more snow here in southwestern Pa. I'd be willing to make a deal with any of you dear readers who do not have snow and would like to take some of what we have off of our hands!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Cabin fever leads to a little tweaking...now, I didn't do much, but I needed to see some greenery. While at the grocery store I picked up a few ivy plants.

Below is the before and while I love how it looks, I wanted to look at something green.

Sorry for the pictures not being too clear...not sure what the problem is...maybe it's because I took them at night...I don't know...anyways, I found these milkglass flower pots at the thrift store a good while ago and thought they'd look nice with the ivy.

This is the way it is for now...I'm thinking about adding a nice candle...I'll keep you posted.

V. Motion goes Pink

We recently got the Vtech V.Motion Active Learning system in the mail, by the way, they've turned pink. So now you can choose the original blue with orange. This was a huge thing in this house as most of our game machines are totally boy colors, the girls flipped over this. I mean BabyGirl's favorite color is pink so this was a hit for her.What comes with the Vtech V.Motion Active Learning System

Well we are going to begin watching the Super Bowl there, in fact that's where I'm blogging from.We ordered: Two large pizzas (pepperoni & sausage) with curly fries and drinks. I love the sausage, not to fond of the pepperoni. By the way for those reading my blog on a regular basis, yes I am starting my, "Get
