seriously.

Is there something in the air? The water? There have been some extraordinary posts going on lately. I want to point you in the direction of two in particular I have been blessed by today. If you haven’t already been there, read it and posted a comment, I recommend you go. Now. Kris, on the No Hands But Ours blog,… Read More

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. I have a feeling we’re gonna need these around here this winter. And then one unnamed lucky duck will be getting a Nintendo DS Lite for $98. My sister… Read More

too cute not to share

While doing some, er, online shopping this weekend (I was actually looking for a child-friendly nativity set, inspired by one of your ideas!) I found this. And I had to have it for my Vivi. Her name is Baby Stella and she comes with blond hair or black hair. For some reason, I liked the one with black hair better…. Read More

Speaking of Christmas shopping, I’ve been doing some shopping myself. I am a lover of all things Gymboree and, I’m ashamed to say, rarely can I resist a good Gymbo sale. 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.

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
