I had the pleasure of meeting an amazing friend a few years back on a weight loss website. We bonded – instantly! I was fortunate enough to have been invited to her wedding where I took all of her pictures for her and daily our friendship takes off to another level. I would do anything [...]
I was asked if it was OK for people to enter more than once a day, via Twitter, for a contest. I will say that I did say yes at first, but to be blunt here – I didn’t think that people would enter 500 times in 3 days. I could see 5 times or [...]
We live in a new (old 1900) home, but it’s new to us. We have been working hard to get it updated and purchasing things for our home to make it ours, like carpet, appliances and even down to our bathroom lights. We have also been replacing a lot of our combined things like silverware [...]
Do you have allergies? What about Asthma? Hubby and my 5 year old have allergies and I suffer from asthma. It is not fun when you are not able to breathe, or you have a reaction to something in your own home. We moved in to an old 1900 home 2 years ago and when [...]

I have to laugh at these two pictures! My brother had just poked me. I was not happy. Mom pinched him. I was happy. By the way, my bangs were perfectly straight because mom used scotch tape and very sharp scissors to cut my hair. Gotta love this.
I have been asked about Tucker going to Junior Kindergarten instead of Kindergarten. I thought I would explain it here. Tucker was born at the end of July 2005. He meets an age where we can either: send him to Kindergarten this year, but he will be the youngest in his class and with the [...]
Have you ever moved 5 hours away from your best friend and wished that you could be there with her at any given time, or any given day? We moved to a small town, away from our friends and inlaws 2 years ago, so the thought of myself being ‘side by side’ with my bestie [...]
Confession: I grew up with my mother making any pasta dish from Ragu. I cannot tolerate any imposters when it comes to my pasta. I am just that picky. Ask my family, friends, husband – they will tell you it’s true.) While I was at BlogHer ’10 last week in NYC, I was invited to [...]

Not too shabby for a ‘cell phone’ pic, huh? All I did to this picture was re-size it in Photoshop CS5, no color enhancing or anything. At a whopping 5MP, the iPhone 4 has simply stunning picture quality! More info to come soon!
I am excited that my family and I are going to a movie premier next Tuesday for Nanny McPhee Returns! I will have more information about the movie, screening and will be glad to take and answer any questions that you, my readers, may have for or about the movie.
Not a bad picture, for a cell phone, huh? This was taken with an Apple iPhone 4. Gorgeous quality!
Life is too short to overlook the good things that happen in life. While I had a hard, long and busy summer, there are so many things that happened that made me really appreciate my life, my family, my friends and even my adventures. Life isn’t all about ‘me, me, me’, but here we go… [...]
After all the issues I had with my Jeep in the two months that I had it, we drove it back to the dealership and we did a trade in on a brand spanking NEW 2009 Kia Borrego. New? YUP Brand NEW! Kia had some that were brand new, and since they were 2009′s, they [...]
On May 12th of this year, just 2 months ago, I bought a 2007 Jeep Commander. I LOVE this vehicle! Man, it’s sharp as can be and what’s crazy is that the gas mileage was better than my minivan. We had some small things happen here and there with it since we got it, but [...]
We were in Texas for a few days and this is how we were ‘welcomed’. Gotta love Texas!

I was going through pictures and saw this one.. I giggled so hard! Miss Kambry had a Gerber puff stuck to her face.
Just this summer, we got a new grill. Before then, we had an old, handed down, t-shirt tied together grill (literally). We have always loved to grill out and with summer here in full force, we love to grill out even more. While I haven’t been a big fan of brats, with the help of [...]
I have always been a fan of Nancy Grace. I am a CSI, Law & Order, live trial watcher… type of person. I think I should have gone to school for investigative science. I love it! I have been keeping up with Nancy Grace and the whole Lindsay Lohan chaos. Jail-bound starlet Lindsay Lohan’s shocking [...]
Yes, I went there. I don’t like to, and have never, posted a negative thought on a product… ever. When I bought two tubs of Cascade Complete, at a pricey $13.00 EACH, I must have lost my noodle. I had read amazing things about these and thought I would try them. I knew I would [...]

I firmly believe that girls are ‘daddy’s girls‘. Kam is a daddy’s girl, and I was am still am a daddy’s girl. I love my daddy! I called him and invited him for lunch today. Keep in mind, that we are 13 hours 50 minutes, AKA: 898.51 miles away from each other. He thought it [...]

We have been searching around everywhere (literally) for a tall bar patio set to put on our deck and that would be easy to store against the house in the winter. After looking at a 200 mile radius around our town, I finally found ONE in stock in St. Joseph, MO. I will go tomorrow [...]
I have been playing around for a few days with my Wilton decorating pantry and learning my way around my tools before I get started in full force on decorating.
