I know I’ve been an awful blogger for the last 19 days. I promise to stay a little more up to date. I’ve been spending an unprecedented amount of time with friends lately. It’s really been wonderful to catch up with a lot of old friends and spend some quality time with new ones. Well, […]

Okay, so I went a little overboard on the prize package…oh well. It was fun! Thanks to the 700+ people that responded to the scrapbooking survey on my blog. Here are the highlights: Most scrabookers have been scrapbooking over 6 years! (48.4%) 30.2% have been scrapbooking b/w 3 & 6 years. Scrapbookers buy most of […]

What is it about new pajamas that makes you feel so good? Tonight I came across these PJs for the girls at Old Navy and couldn’t help but buy them. I’m so glad I did because I did a little photo shoot tonight and got the best pics ever of Ella and Gracie together.  

the grocery game, that is. After a 3 month hiatus from shopping with coupons I’m back in the game! I subscribe to this phenomenal list that gives me weekly updates of what to buy where at all the area grocery stores. (www.grocerygame.com) Unfortunately I have not been getting the Sunday paper which leaves me completely […]

When I was a little girl, my mom used to tell me she was going to send me to Terrell. This was her way of saying that I needed to go to the funny farm. You see, the state mental hospital was located in Terrell, TX…it’s not there anymore but she still says it. Sometimes […]

Here are the Valentine cards Nolen and I made together. Today is going to be fun! Ben and I are the room parent’s for Nolen’s 3rd grade class so that means we’re in charge of the class party. We’ve got a great game planned. We’re taping a blank piece of paper of each child’s back. […]

I’m totally suffering from a “case of the Mondays” today. Do I really have to get up out of bed?? Unfortunately, the answer is yes…and after my 4th cup of coffee I’m sure it will be easier to get going. One down, three to go. I had such a pleasant weekend at home. Nolen and […]

Tonight was our first ever “Girls’ night out”…Curious George and a trip to 1/2 Price Books. We had a fantastic time! Ella was hilarious. She laughed out loud at the funny parts and insisted that I take her socks and shoes off half way through the movie. She ate the entire time – popcorn and […]

Well, the show was great! A ton of incredibly smart retailers picked up our new Route 99 line. So many people also took notice of all the other things we’d been up to for the last year. The company has been through so many changes and our booth took a lot of people by surprise. […]
