Lunchables Party

Okay I'm a bit behind in posting a few things so I'm going to play a little catch-up here tonight. First up, we recently had a LUNCHABLES Party thanks to a website called, "HouseParty.com" that supplied almost everything. By this I mean I got the guests, the blankets and the space but they sent me the coupons for the FREE lunchables, $1 off coupons for each of the guests to buy their own,

~* I Am Still Here *~

I thought I'd drop in and say "Hello" to let all of you know that I haven't flown the coop! This chick just hasn't had much to post about. I'm hoping that come September, I'll have some fall decorating to share.

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

During my absence I celebrated my 43rd birthday...wait...I'm not 43....I'm 44...what am I talking about...LOL....also discovered my first gray hair!

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

Thank you all for the comments you continue to leave on my blog...I really appreciate each and every one of them. On a sad note, Lil Mama, one of our sweet kittens that I wrote about on my previous post has disappeared...I am just heartsick...it's been almost two weeks and we haven't seen her at all. I'm praying that she'll come home safe and sound!

Book Review: Daniel X: Watch the Skies

MomCentral recently asked if my son, SoccerBoy and I would like to review: Daniel X: Watch the Skies. Of course I just had to say yes, I mean he got hooked after he read Dangerous Days of Daniel X back in August of last year. My son anxiously awaited fot the new book to arrive, which was kind of funny since he had been eyeing it for a few weeks while it was hitting the store shelves.Here's his

Weekend With No Kids

On Friday the hubby called me from work and asked how I felt about going up to his moms. Now not that I'd care, but I had some MAJOR homework to do and it just wasn't sinking in. I knew I'd have to be hitting the books all weekend, "Probably not this weekend I have a ton of studying. You and the kids can go." He responded with, "Would you be okay with me taking the kids up there?" I was a bit

Ringling Bros. Circus Ticket Giveaway (4pk)

Oh I just love the circus, I remember going as a child a few times. My favorite part of the circus was watching the acrobats and eating the sweet, melt-in-your-mouth cotton candy. What's your favorite circus snack? As for the animals? My favorite for the circus would have to be the elephant, just like my youngest daughter, BabyGirl. So she is going to flip out when I actually tell her I got

Wordless Wednesday: Sad Face and Painting

Believe it or not this is how Little A spent most of yesterday. Yesterday was the first day without any of his siblings home. That's right, they are all in school now and he was not letting me go or out of his sight. I guess he thought I'd leave too, in the picture you can see his little hand is cupped against my shirt. He's actually watching Wubbzy here. In the following picture he finally

All Kids at School

Wow, I can't believe I'm finally typing this. Okay the truth is I still have one more at home but the feeling is so strange to me. Bright and early in the morning SoccerBoy leaves for school, two hours later his sisters get on the bus. I still have one more at home with me but it is a big change.This morning was BalletGirl's first day of 4th grade and since she didn't go on her siblings first day

School's Out....

Okay, not really, but apparently they didn't think the kids had enough of a summer vacation and gave them one more day. See, two started last week, BabyGirl and SoccerBoy for their transition into Jr.High and K-garten. Today I guess is a teacher break (so soon? I didn't think the kids would be that hard to deal with just yet), the teachers say it is to get all the papers done for the school year.

BabyGirl Goes to Kindergarten

Today was the first day of school for BabyGirl, she entered Kindergarten and there was just no stopping her. Yep, no matter how much I begged her to stay my little girl. She insisted that she had to go and could not be late and that I could kiss her one more time before we left the house. To which of course I did, I worried about all those things moms worry about when they are about to put their

Wordless Wednesday: Sizzix

What else were we suppose to day on the last week before school was out? Since Sizzix sent us this beautiful display we just had to have fun with all the crafts. You can see some of the crafts done, but I'll be reviewing this in a bit and let me just say we LOVE out Big Shot from Sizzix. Happy WW!

Epic Summer Tour

Have you been on an Epic Summer trip? This summer we ended up staying at the house, but in the past we've been known to travel around visiting all types of beautiful scenary and educational spots. Last month Momcentral told me all about a site called, "Epic Summer." Epic Summer is located in the beautiful Colorado and they want to help plan your next summer vacation, you can choose their 4 or 7

Ruby Tuesday: The Red Bowl

Betcha didn't know a red bowl could look so good did ya? Well, after reading a post over at Mom Is Teaching about making a Jiffy Muffin cake I just had to have muffins. Okay, it wasn't just me that wanted muffins, the kids did too and as you can see Little A decided he was the baker. This (for those that don't know) was the chocolate chip muffin mix by Jiffy. (jiffy is a blue and white box in the

BabyGirl Went Birthday Shopping

I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but for birthdays now we've decided to try the following. One gift is given to the birthday child on their birthday, cake and ice cream. Yes, small and simple but that isn't all. A few days later, since each one has happened to be on the weekday, we take them Birthday Shopping. Each child is given a set amount to spend on ONLY them, they are NOT allowed to buy

Bugsby's Great Adventure Contest

This morning I was notified that Bugsby by Vtech was having a contest where kids actually got to write an "Adventure with Bugsby" entry. As many of you know BabyGirl turned 6 this past week and will be starting Kindergarten in less than two weeks so this was the perfect thing for her. She got to pick out the characters, objects and any text she thought they'd have. Hurry over and enter the "

Wordless Wednesday: Happy Birthday BabyGirl

BabyGirl will be entering Kindergarten this year and on August 2nd our little pixie turned 6. Happy birthday once again BabyGirl. I just love looking at pics of when she was first born to her 6th birthday. That girl has so much emotion! Happy WW ya'll, don't forget to leave a comment so I can visit ya.

A Breastfeeding Doll for Kids

Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe the trend hitting the internet today so I looked it up and sure enough there is an actual "Breastfeeding Doll" for kids. Yes, now your daughter can breastfeed a baby doll just like mommy. While I may have breastfed my four kids, I'm not okay with my daughter pretending to breastfeed a doll. Am I wrong here?A Spanish toymaker by the name of Berjuan has created
