I’m joining in on The Other Mama’s blog carnival, Friday Favorites. And so I’m sharing a few of my favorite things.
#1) Clairol Perfect 10 Hair Color. Because paying $80 for a hair color job (on long hair) and then having roots start to show within two weeks does not cut it, folks. I can get by on five [...]
So Hubby and I just got back from seeing Star Trek…without the girls (shock and awe). I know, it is surprising that we actually went out by ourselves for a change. Both girls were out of town on separate school trips, different locations.
While people were getting seated, I looked around to check out the crowd. [...]
Are you ready? It’s time for the Ultimate Blog Party, hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. If you haven’t joined the party yet, you should. There are plenty of prizes to be won, including this one (#87) from my online store. So head on over to the UBP for details on how to enter for your chance to [...]
Yippeeee! Her blogging carnival hasn’t even started yet, and already I’m a winner! JanMary is hosting a St. Patty’s Day carnival, complete with giveaways. Be sure and head over there to get the details. Here’s a hint of what you can expect from my place: green, green and more green.
And also, later in the week, there’s [...]
Okay, so you know, I’m a sucker for contests. Over at SITS (The Secret is in the Sauce), they’re having a Bedroom Bliss giveaway: a 500 count sheet set, two memory foam pillows a Target gift card and a few other delightful things. Head on over to their site to check it out. And if you [...]
I’m playing along with Musings of Housewife’s Blog Carnival and talking about what I learned this week. Why don’t you join in?
What I learned this week snuck up on me as a quiet epiphany. It wasn’t something I sought out. In fact, it came to me somewhere in between cleaning the upstairs bathroom and rearranging some overflowing kitchen cabinets: I was content.
Where [...]
Okay, so if my blog is a little quiet lately, it’s because I’m working on some important stuff over here, like gathering recipes for a cookbook the school is putting together for a fundraiser. Someone asked me about my contribution the other day. I told her I didn’t have any original recipes. She seemed surprised!
I [...]
Well, seeing as others have been taking the photo challenge first posted at PhotoJoJo, and other bloggers have followed suit; I’ve decided to try the challenge myself - a photo a day for 365 days. I’m already off to a late start, but I’m trying. I thought it best to post them on Sundays, sort [...]
On a recent Sunday morning, I came downstairs and headed for the coffee pot. Hubby had been up since the wee hours due to jetlag, so I was expecting there to be a some fresh brew already made. Instead, I see this carafe sitting on the counter; a carafe I had maybe used twice in 21 years of marriage. [...]
Blogging the Homework Blues
Last night I attempted to write a post while my girls were sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. It was getting past 10:00 at night and they were still going strong; well, sort of. They were attempting to work but they kept having these random conversations: how many texts and/or missed calls they had; [...]
