When Dinner Fails

Source: foodwishes.blogspot.com via Tricia on Pinterest   This post is to prove that shit happens bad dinners happen and Pinterest does sometimes disappoint me.   What a failure. I was oh so excited to make this recipe yesterday.  I had planned it for a week.  I waited until yesterday because it was my day off and I

#1 Reason to be on Twitter Monday Nights…Bachelor Tweets

I have watched the Bachelor in the past, but I am a non-loyal fan.  I’ve watched a few seasons, but not all of them.  I generally watch it on the DVR the next morning on the treadmill.  And let’s just say the treadmill has been used more for collecting dust lately then for exercise.  Hence,

Dear Target, Well, it’s been awhile.  And I’m holding strong.  Coming up on 3 weeks, but who’s counting?  Me.  I am.  I’ve actually posted the date of my first Target-free day on a white board in my cubicle at work.  As a visual reminder that I can do this.  I can break up with you. 

Valentine Handprint Hearts

Valentine Handprint Hearts

I normally don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day.  But this year the girls were so bummed when the holiday stuff was put away.  The house looked too “normal” they said.  So I decided to put a few things together for a little LOVE theme on my family room hutch.  I mean, I had pinned all those

Target Update and a Recipe

Target Update and a Recipe

I don’t have much for you today.  Other than the fact that I was next door to TWO separate Targets today and did not go into either of them.  6 days and counting.  Although Charlotte said, “Look momma, Target!  We go there?”  Um, no.  How do I explain we broke up with a store?? Tonight

Boy Clothes are UGLY & Anderson Cooper…wtf??

Boy Clothes are UGLY & Anderson Cooper…wtf??

Today I was home with a sick kid.  Charlotte was running a 103.5 fever and feeling yucky (sounds high, but my kids run even higher at times…sadly I don’t flinch until we start showing 104/105).  And the cleaning lady was coming.  What to do?  Well, the cleaning lady comes in sickness and in health, so at

Dear Target…

Dear Target…

Dear Target, Our relationship has been quite a roller coaster ride.  See, I neglected you for oh so many years.  At first you were too upscale for me.  I was in college and poor.  And Wal-Mart was more my price point.  I only bought true necessities back then.  And you were filled with frivolous items

I’m Still Here

I’m Still Here

A random post without a picture to let you know I survived the entry of the new year!   ***   We had a low-key New Year’s Eve at our house.The neighbors came over. City BBQ was eaten. The guys went to the XU game. The ladies chatted. The children played. It was AWESOME. As

A Little Bird Told Me

I get an email every morning from the Brave Girls Club.  Click HERE to sign up to get yours.  It’s quite eery how they often (and I mean almost every day) completely relate to exactly what I need to hear (or read).  This one yesterday was so chilling awesome I wanted to share it with you.  Dear Precious Girl,

This and That

This and That

I started the day reading this great post “I’m a Good Mother, You’re a Good Mother” that is going around on FB.  It’s now got me thinking even more about this motherhood thing and why it is such a friendly competition.  I was even talking to Nutmeg tonight and some future blog posts are now

Sucker for a Deal

Sucker for a Deal

I am a sucker.  For a deal.  That I usually find at Target. I remember back in the day when I didn’t particularly care for Target.  But now?  SUCKER.  It doesn’t help that it’s the most convenient place for errands during my lunch hour.  SUCKER.  I have tried to limit my exposure lately because I
