Winter has arrived



Burrr!

Twilight

It's like we're teenagers all over again. My friend Dana & I are taking our kids to see Twilight tonight and I think we're more excited than the kids. We considered going to the 12:01am showing this morning, but the kids had school today. Drat.

So excited for tonight!

Christmas Photo Cards


I didn't like hardly any photo card designs I was seeing on the different websites and if I did like the design it was outrageously expensive!  So I created my own.

Visiting In-Laws

My brother-in-law, sister-in-law and two nieces are in town for a week visiting early for the holidays.
Ole took them out for an impromptu photo session to snap some family pictures for their 2008 holiday card.



I used some of CoffeeShop's actions on the pictures.

Breakfast of WAHM Bloggers


This cake is incredible.  


Compliments included "This is hands down, way better than Starbuck's pumpkin loaf!"

Disclaimer: This is NOT diet food, nor is it your mama's pumpkin pie.  Proceed with caution, you will be hooked.

"Ideal for frequent bathers"

My favorite shampoo and conditioner {right now... because my hair is another thing I am fickle about.}

Bumble And Bumble Seaweed Shampoo 8-Ounces & Conditioner 8-Ounces, Bottle

This stuff is amazing! 


My hair and scalp are always in a constant battle, never in agreement about whether the top of my head will be slick and oily or dry and crusty. And this time of year, when it gets cold and dry, it really wreaks havoc on my poor scalp. Luckily, I found this set of shampoo and conditioner which has made my hair soft and smooth, my scalp is in a normal state of condition (not red & irritated.)

Loving it.

Three Years



Three years really makes a difference.

We added two dogs to the pack and the kids... Well they do grow up.

Much too quickly.

I should have stayed in bed.

It's one of those days in which things start off okay but go horribly wrong.  


Every single thing, every single time.  Horribly wrong.

And it's not even over with...  Or, in other words, the worst is yet to come.

Would it be imported now or still domestic?

Budweiser - Sold:

Belgium's InBev (INB.BT) completed its $52 billion acquisition of U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch Cos. (BUD) Tuesday following regulatory approval from China, the last remaining hurdle for the deal, earlier in the day.

InBev paid $70 a share for Anheuser-Busch's shares, which stopped trading at the close of business Monday, ending the U.S. company's 150 years of independence.

Orange, orange, baby... {all right that's lame}

{photo by neloqua}

Truth be told, orange is not favorite color, but there is something about this picture that is grabbing my attention.  Well, the wood doors are amazing, as well as the sconces.  Oh, and those terra cotta pots are gorgeous, too.

I so wish I had those doors, especially if I lived in a Mexican hacienda on the beach.  I can smell it now.
