PW + WO
Not gonna lie. I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. And I’m pretty darn excited it’s finally here. Let me back up a bit… Y’all know way back in March, I got a chance to visit The Pioneer Woman at her ranch. Way back then, a tiny seed was planted. Since then it’s been growing. And now it… Read More
spoils of war
I think I did pretty well for myself this Black Friday. Vivi scored a puffer jacket for $11.25 from Gymboree. So did the boys. Two more Gymbo puffers for $11.25 each.

Right now they’ve got their ‘Friends and Family’ promotion going on. And, I guess I must be a ‘friend’ because I got 30% off everything I bought. And since… Read More
Christmas ideas. For me.
Y’all know I love me some Pioneer Woman. And I put my money where my mouth is. I bought the cookbook. Not as a gift for my mother or best friend (I do love you guys, though). For myself. It did sit on my ‘wish list’ at Amazon for about 2 weeks before I actually bought it. But I finally,… Read More
