30 Day Blog Challenge

20 Topics in 30 Days, I think I'm in! I'm always looking for something new to do with my blog and this sounds right up my alley. I"m following in Amanda's footsteps over at My Life as a Wife and passing the next 30 days with this Challenge.

Day One: Favorite Song! What a hard one! I don't know how I could ever narrow it down to just one. I love such a wide variety of music from 80s to Country to Classical to Opera. I really love it all. Not only do I love it all, there are so many songs that have meaning to me or that I connect to making this so much harder.

I love "Better Together" by Jack Johnson because it's the song Hubbs and I had are first dance to at our wedding. It is definitely always better when we are together and we love doing nothing together!

I love love love "The Prayer" sung by Josh Groban and Charlotte Church! I love to listen to it in the car and belt it out as loud as possible like I can sing!

"Way you Love me" by Faith Hill, that's another I love to sing loudly too! Oh, and there's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody", "Jessie's Girl", anything by Michael Buble, Justin Timberlake, Bon Jovi or Boyz II Men.

The longer I sit here and think over it, the longer my list gets. So I'm gonna leave it as those and I'll be back tomorrow for Day Two of the 30 Day Challenge with Favorite Movie. I have all night to think about it but that list will be much shorter as I am not much of a movie watch.

Make sure you come back tomorrow and if you want to join in on the challenge, check here for the list of topics of at My Life as a Wife!

until tomorrow...

Fawk you Friday!

Yay for Fawk you Friday! Who doesn't need a chance to throw out a few Fawk you's to all those people places and things? I do! So here goes:

                                                                           BWS tips button
Fawk You to the lovely lady on the phone that called me a dumbass while I was at work today. Being a Pool person I float around ofter among 5 different locations, so therefore I don't really know anyone. This lovely lady called asking for someone I did not know and after telling her that I'm just covering for the regular person so I don't know who that is or how to reach them, she asked for me to find out those things and called me a dumbass! So after finding out that the person wasn't there, she asked to speak to anyone else. Being the dumbass she thought I was, I nicely and politely transferred her to anyone! Anyone being somebody not in my dept that couldn't help her at all!!!! I mean I had to live up to her Dumbass expectations!

Fawk you to Toys r Us for not making it apparent that the Buy Any Dance Wii game and get another Wii game for $5 sale ended yesterday. I went there today hoping to get myself Just Dance 2 and another game for Noodle for Christmas and found the sale had ended. Now its buy a DS game get one for $5. I don't need two DS games!

One more very nondescript Fawk You to a person who will remain nameless because of being the worst at something that means a lot to me. I know that doesn't give you guys any information but it makes me feel better because I know who it is and I needed to get it out there for no other reason that than!

Hope everyone has a Happy Friday and a Happy Weekend.

until next time...

Thanks to the very fast cable man, I'm back! Oh how I have missed blogging!!!

We have been cable and Internet free for months now! I do not think I would have survived if it wasn't for my Android phone and lovely Antenna TV! I was still able to follow all of your lovely blogs but blogging from my phone took way too much time! Besides, adding pictures was nearly impossible and what's a blog without pictures. I have so many things that I haven't been able to write about and tons more pictures that haven't been shared.

I am looking forward to catching up and blogging everyday now. I am looking forward to reading all the blogs I follow in full size being able to see how the pretty blog designs!

Hopefully I will still have some followers! Thank you for sticking around even though I have been gone forever! I promise I will be here for awhile now with lots to share! Especially with the holidays coming, family pictures with Kristen Pace, birthdays and anniversaries!

until next time...

Tis the Season for 50 free cards from Shutterfly!

Just for blogging about Shutterfly and their wonderful selection of Christmas and Holiday cards, you can get 50 free cards. That is perfect for someone that loves pictures and cards as much as I do. I always love this time of year when all the Christmas cards start arriving in the mail. It's always fun to see how the kids have grown from year to year or read the yearly letter that fills us in on what's been going on.

Normally, I'm the one that designs and makes my Christmas cards but when I started looking through Shutterfly's selection of cards, I decided that they could do it for me this year. There are so many that I just absolutely love that I think I'm going to have a hard time narrowing it down to just one.

If we wanted to go with a Family Letter style, I would go with this one. I love the color combination!

I'll definitely need one for more than one picture because I'll never be able to narrow it down to just one! These are great options!




Not only do they have a card that will suite all your holiday needs, they also have invitations that will suite all you holiday needs! My sister and I are thinking of doing a Cookie Swap and wouldn't this just be the perfect invitation!


or this one for just a fun Holiday party!


After seeing just the few of the ones that I love, I know you'll want to look through them yourself and pick out one or thirty. If you want to sign up to get your very own 50 card for free just by blogging, you can do that here.

Happy Choosing. I know I'm going to have a very hard time!

So many new things...

Being without a working computer and without internet at my house, it's been very hard to keep this thing up and running. There's so much that has been going on. Sp many new things to share!

Noodlehas started 1st grade! Its very exciting. She was going to be going to a new school but with the unexpected change in a financial situation, I was very happy that I did not burn any bridges with her old school. I wanted too but for some reason kept from doing so and boy, am I glad that I did. She was having lots of anxiety about going to a new school anyway that led to lots of bed wetting. She's much happier being back at her old school with her old friends and the bed wetting has ended! YAY! I must say that I'm not old enough to have a 1st grader!!! Oh, she's also lost another tooth. This time on top. We're still waiting for one of the bottom to fall out. It's been loose for months and doesn't seem to be held in by anything but we can't get it out. She goes to have some teeth filled in a week or two and the dentist said if it was still in, he'd pull it while she was out!

I have started my new job. I'm going on my third week and everyday I have a new emotion that goes with it! I'm happy to be out of the house for some adult interaction but at the same time, I'm sad to being leaving my children's responsibility on someone else. That has been a chore in and of itself!!!! I'm hoping that this job will quickly lead to a full time one so that I can stick Nugget in full time daycare and not constantly have to be worrying about where he's going to go so I can work.

I've been dabbling in decorating onesies for my friends who are having babies. I regularly make shirts for Noodle but like making them for other people. I'm also trying to broaden my ideas away from just girly shirts since Nugget isn't a girl and needs something "boyly" as I say! I've made a really cute one with a rocket for my nephew but of course I don't have any pictures of it! I'm hoping to get really good at it and start selling them!!Here are a few that I have made for friends:

















Nugget's eczema journey is still an ongoing one! I feel like we're seeing the dermatologist every 2 weeks with what seems like no progress at all! It's very frustrating. Well, at his last visit, she finally decided to do an ImmuCap test which tests for allergies through a bloodtest. Nugget went to an allergist back in Jan. but his skin tests showed nothing. He wasn't allergic to anything. I found that very hard to believe. He had reactions to milk and what we though was wheat but come to find out he's not allergic to them. The bloodtest found that he is allergic to cats and he has high sensitivity to walnuts and peanut and a mild sensitivity to soy. It has me thinking that his eczema can't possibly be in response to a food allergy. He's cleared up several times with the help of an antibiotic but if it were due to his food allergy, he wouldn't have cleared because he's never been off soy! Soy is in EVERYTHING!!! He has another appt. this week. We'll see how that goes!

So I guess that's about it! I'm sure I'll think of something else but until then...
