  • I need a t-shirt....

    17 November 2008

    It needs to be x-large and say the following:

    I am due January 8

    Yes, I have my hands full.

    This is my fifith. Yes, that's right, my fifth. 1-2-3-4-5.

    Yes, I will have my hands full.

    Is this our last? Since it's completely your business you should know we're trying to catch up to Jon & Kate and the Duggars. We really want our own reality show.

    Yes, we are brave and yes, we're very excited.

    No, you may not touch my belly.

    Yes, I'm sure it's not twins.

    That's right, I still have a month and a half to go.

    No, I don't have a name picked out yet.

    That's a nice name, I'll have to keep that in mind.

    Yes, the kids are really excited.

    Yes, I do have my hands full.

    That way, I don't have to say anything, I can just point to the shirt.

    Except for today at church, someone said, "You look pregnant."

    What am I supposed to say to that? It's like when you get your hair cut and someone says,

    "you got your haircut."

    or another favorite of mine is

    "you look tired."

    Nothing else.

    What do you say??

    Can you tell I'm an ornery, cranky pregnant lady today? I know most people mean well and are just trying to make conversation, but it gets soooooo old.

    What are your favorite things people say to you/have said to you when you're pregnant?
    What else do I need on my shirt?

    good things to share...

    12 November 2008


    Have you heard of Tip Junkie? She has the best tips and ideas from other women bloggers and for the next 12 days she is featuring women from the Mom-prenuer Shop-a-thon. There are also fantastic tips on preparations for Thanksgiving and holidays PLUS 2 winners each day for the giveaways. Go check it out!

    Also, some of you have mentioned that the Bath & Body Works Coupon for the free wallflower or scentport isn't on the site anymore. Here it is with three on a page in pdf format that some lovely lady shared with me: Bath & Body It expires on November 23 and my store accepted it with no problem at all. If you try to get 10 free ones, now that may be a problem. :) Print some off and share with friends.

    another topiary...

    11 November 2008

    I couldn't resist scheduling my post for 11:11 a.m. on 11/11 :)
    I've seen topiaries like these and have loved the simplicity of them:

    This is from a Parade of Homes picture my mom took of a little storage nook, but I was kind of drawn to that little topiary. Ready to copy?

    weathering pots, WM spray paint, and the green dresser

    10 November 2008

    I love the look of weathered pots. Here is one that has been out for almost a year on our back porch (plus, I had to show you that I really can keep something alive~my impatiens are my last hope of not having all brown thumbs!)

    Topiary Schmopiary

    06 November 2008

    I love topiaries. I think they are so pretty, but so blasted expensive! I have never seen a *great* deal on them, so what's a girl to do??

    Remember this one from my yard sale treasures a while back?

    Happy November and boys' room

    03 November 2008

    Holy November! I've been trying to get Halloween down today, and recover from the weekend. We had a fabulous Halloween, and am ready to move on to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a new baby at the beginning of the year! I loved your ideas about the table legs~I was seriously just going to chuck them, but with all of the suggestions, how can I throw them away?? I will keep you posted if I do anything with them, but right now, my project list is getting a little out of hand.
    We finished the boys' room, so here are a few pics:
    You know the story of the letters, I just went with a basic navy comforter from Target clearance and a green sham (more Target clearance)

    A new use for the 3 legged tables

    30 October 2008

    Under $10, under an hour projects
    Exactly the type of projects I love. I'm going to start a new category on my sidebar with easy peasy projects like these that don't break the bank.
    Okay, so it's not exactly fabulous like I told you, but it's a great way of recycling! You know the 3 legged tables I'm talking about. I seriously see them at yard sales and Goodwill all of the time, you may have some in your house, you can buy them at Walmart for around $7.

    We had 2 that we used as nightstands, and when we graduated to a black Target bedroom set, (someday we may have real furniture!! ) we decided to get rid of the little tables.
