Carma Turns Bad to Good

Oh, don't tell me carma doesn't come around and wishing out to the Universe doesn't pay off. First, this week had been a very bad week. The school called earlier this week asking if my oldest daughter, age 9, was doing okay. Confused since I'd put her on the bus that very morning I asked if she threw up and if I needed to pick her up. Instead I got more confusion as they claimed she'd never been

A Trip to the Carnival

Thursday and Friday it was time to go out and have some fun with the family. So what did we do? Well the town has a carnival in town for "Oktoberfest" and we hit it up. Thursday was just a night for the rides before the GRAND OPENING on Friday, we figured this would be the best time to hit it up with very few people.As you can see we decided to walk up there for two reasons. 1. to get the kids

Our trip to Ringling Bros Circus

Okay, here are the results of the Ringling Bros Circus. First, when we got there it almost looked as if we were at the wrong place because we got there early. They had the elephants outside eating hay and playing with a tire. We watched for a bit as the two youngest screamed with laughter (Little A) and talk about how they are her favorite animal and she would love to bring it home with us (

Wordless Wednesday: Family at Circus

Okay this shot was taken by SoccerBoy. Here is me (mom), the girls and Little A standing with one of the Ringling Bros Circus performers. You can see the excitement in their faces, of course the elephant on stage caught Little A's attention.Happy WW!

A Spider Greets Me

I've been thinking about Fall and Halloween all week now. The one thing that I always associate with Halloween is spiders. Right? My food friend, Michelle, has even been showing me her photos of spiders which are great. (in fact I'll be doing a giveaway in the next few weeks for one of her photos)Well imagine my horror/surprise this morning as I open the front door to find THIS hairy monster

Ringling Bros Circus Came to Town

Here's a few pictures of just a few things we saw this past Thursday when the hubby and I took the kids to the Ringling Bros Circus in Kansas City, thanks to MomCentral. The kids had a blast and so did we. Honestly I thought it would take a lot longer to get there due to traffic, even tweetered that as we were hitting traffic. It ended up going fast after about ten minutes, when we got to the big

Wordless Wednesday: Picture Day

It was picture day yesterday and Little A felt left out after I took this picture of the girls. So once at home he stood up on a chair and proudly showed me his school outfit. Happy WW! Leave a comment so I can return the favor.

Thank You VerizonWireless

Yesterday was a halfway okay day, it started getting bad when I didn't have any soda/sugar in the house and developed a bad headache. But it got worse when the hubby came home and showed me we had an extra $300 on our phone bill. Knowing very well we couldn't pay it and that if we coudln't we'd lose the phone and since my internet is connected that too. I went into panicked mode and we

MSN's MomsHomeRoom and 'Little Bites'

Wow! These are so small, not like your average mini-wheats. MomCentral recently sent me a box of the new Kellogg's breakfast cereal Frosted Mini-Wheats "Little Bites", the difference is these are half the size and honey nut flavored. I'm sure there are other flavors but I like the lightly touched honey flavor.But in combination with the new cereal MSN has created a website for moms to chat about

Barbie and the Three Musketeers Mini Doll Review

I thought it would be best if I placed the review for the Barbie and the Three Musketeers Mini Musketeers Doll apart from the movie review. Hope you check out the movie and then come back to let me know what you thought.BabyGirl is 6 years old and in the all things imagination and Barbie Stage, which I love. It is amazing the things she remembers, right after watching the movie she went and took

Barbie and the Three Musketeers Movie Review

I was recently sent the new "Barbie and the Three Musketeers" movie and doll to review. First, I want to explain that Sophie (the PR Gal) and I chatted about my own daughter recently being upset that there were no Barbie or Princesses that had glasses. Sophie sent us a Barbie Bag that on it has Barbie wearing Sunglasses. It tickled BabyGirl so much, she continues to carry that very big bag with

My Sonic Trip

Okay this is a bit late but so much has been going on. Thursday I did get offline and take Little A up to Sonic Drive In with me to use our $25 Sonic Gift Card to buy something for "Limeades for Learning." I ordered a breakfast burrito and a large rootbeer, he ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a Strawberry limeade. He wasn't too impressed with his limeade so I did buy him a chocolate

~* My New Treasures *~

Hello blogging friends! I have some goodies to share with you...while visiting a local resale shop to make a donation of things my family no longer needed I found this antique wash stand. At first I wasn't going to get it...what would my dear hubby say...did we really have the room for it...I honestly didn't know what to do so I decided to give my name and number to the sweet lady there. Low and behold I received a call and was offered it at a lower price! Of course, I couldn't pass it up!

I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do with the finish...should I paint over it...should I strip the paint off? I'm still contemplating what to do.

I love the curved front on it! I know that I am definitely changing the hardware.
I also found this nice picture frame that I'm going to make into a chalkboard for my porch.

And last, but not least, I got this old window from my church. They were replacing all of the windows with new ones. When an announcement was made asking if anyone would want one, I knew I wanted one for sure! I've gone to this church since I was a year old and I wanted a part of history. I'm painting the frame because it's in bad shape, then I'll hang it in the dining room. Thank you so much for stopping by!

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

Thank you all for your sweet birthday wishes! You all are so kind. On another note, Lil Mama has still not returned and it has been three weeks...I'm still holding out hope that she'll return one day.

Sonic Drive In and Fundraisers

Kids were so excited yesterday when they came home from school. SoccerBoy had won some type of ipod-like radio. I'm calling it that because it was small like an ipod but only picked up radio stations, unfortuneately it doesn't seem to work inside the house. I'm going to try it out later today when I go for a walk. The two oldest also received those state score tests that they do in school each

Wordless Wednesday: The Face Says it All

We got a shipment to review yesterday, which I think BabyGirl really likes. What do you think? Happy WW! Leave a comment so I can visit.

Feeling Better and Updating

Yes I know my titles have died out but I've been sick for a few weeks and it seems that it is finally dropping the veil. I can finally stay awake longer than a couple of hours which feels great, but with the new storm coming in I can only wonder if I'll be back in bed very shortly. So yes, I've been a bit out of it but rest assured I'm getting better and coming back to blogland. Miss me?What's

Limeades for Learning: Sonic's Giveaway

Ya'll know how much I just LOVE my Sonic's and thankfully there are a few in my area. But for today I'll stick with something for everyone. Did you know they are currently doing a "Limeade for Learning" for the month September, SONIC will donate more than half a million dollars to fund classroom materials and experiences needed to inspire learning. I don't know about you but to me this sounds

Lunchables Review

Ya'll saw my post on our Lunchables Party, now for me to tell you all about the Lunchables themselves. First, buying a lunchable is one of the quick things a mom can do that is rushing. This comes with the meal and drink. Now not all lunchables come with a drink, however the new combo meals do...which I love. (this is late due to everyone being sick, still hoping to get caught up with everything)

First Breastfeeding Doll, Now a Pole Dancing Doll?

A pole dancing doll? I'm serious, that was the google trend, someone thought it would cute to make a doll that dances around a pole. I couldn't even picture and occasion you'd give this doll to a child. I mean she's a pole dancer. I guess sure if she plans on growing up to become a pole dancer/stripper that's the perfect graduation gift but I haven't heard very many girls say that's what they

Life in the Sick Lane

Oh three of us have came down with the colds from....ummm, well let me just say it SUCKS. The kids have started school and we all know that means bringing home the germs and sure enough by Friday BabyGirl had come come with some sniffles. But since daddy was taking them to the big Football Game on Saturday she pretended to be just fine. The game was the KC Chiefs vs. Seattle Seahawks, course KC
