June Gloom…

We celebrated June Gloom with a…

We found a magical jewel in the middle of the street!

We watched a tiny ant with quiet wonder…We did a bit of pole dancing…

Flutter Skirts

I have always loved skirts. In grade school there were years I refused to wear pants. I was/am a girly girl. See…I think my figure looks better in skirts. Smaller waist accented and child bearing hips camouflaged.

Skirts make you feel beautiful
Skirts make you feel like dancing
Skirts make you feel feminine
Spring is in full swing and summer is upon us.
I’m going to wear skirts.

The End

Where the hay can I put my diaper bag!?!?

You are in the grocery store.
You put your diaper bag next to baby.
Baby flings the contents of your wallet throughout the store.
You put the diaper bag in the cart, it gets covered with food and fixins’.
You get to the checkout you hold up the line searching for your coupons.
Use a carabiner (rock climbing hook) to clip your bag to the cart!! I got my carabiner at REI. It has flowers on it šŸ™‚
I keep it attached to the strap of my diaper bag. It clips to anything… stroller, cart & toddler (except for the toddler).

These pix were taken on a recent trip to one of my favorite places, IKEA!
Go have lunch there sometime it’s cheap cheap cheap.
Hot Hubby and I have even grabbed dinner there on a few date nights. I recommend the salmon and Hot Hubby gets the lasagna!

Memorial Day FUN!!

Happy Memorial Day!!~May you remember the men and women
who have died serving our country.
~May you be thankful to live in a country
where freedom reigns.
~May you eat fresh strawberries
till your tummy is full!

Call friends and family who have served our great country today!
“Memorial Day was first established in 1868 in order to honor the soldiers who had fallen during the Civil War. It was initially only recognized by first NewYork and then the remainder of the northern states, and wasn’t followed by the south until after World War I.”
(Info found here.)

Going on a Picnic? Take a Lid…

Get settled.
Take the famous “group shot” with one arm extended as far as you can reach!

I’m not the best lunch packer (as some of you might remember Cora Jane gnawing on a potato at the pool). This time I packed leftover lasagna and one paper towel.
Yes folks, ONE PAPER TOWEL!!!
Rookie mistake.

Cora is wearing the Pink Snowboarder Lid in pink size newborn-1-year-old.
Eli is wearing the Tomboy Rock n’ Roll Lid size 1-5-years-old (turned black side out to hide the girly hearts)

Suzie Says…

I cannot stand dingy dish cloths!
I chucked all my old white ones and bought colored ones ($2.99 for a bundle of 12 at TARGET).
This reminded me of something Suzie says,
“Don’t wash towels with fabric softener!”
What!?!?!? (you are thinking) But I want soft fluffy bath towels!
The tale goes something like this: Fabric softener will leave a waxy build up on the fibers of the towel that will make them less adsorbent over time.
Yes folks, this is true.
But don’t fret.
Suzie also says, “If you are going to use fabric softener just strip your towels every 3-6 months or so by washing them on hot hot hot.”

(FYI You’ll notice it more with your dish towels, dish cloths and washcloths. I rarely use softener with those.)

Mom’s Day Review…

All I ask for on Mother’s day is a picnic.
Time with the kiddos and hubby.
Because time just goes too fast.

.
.
“I can’t believe she is making me eat fruit.”
(FYI Fruit is suppose to help with his painful heartburn.)
.
.
.
.
We got home and put the kiddos down for naps.
Hot Hubby did this —–>>>>>>

While I did this—>>>>>
After naps we moseyed on down to the pool…

I wore my new cover-up from Sam’s club.

(FYI Very flattering on)
Something good about not losing that last 15 pounds… big knockers!

Love to my kiddos for making me a Mommy.

Snuggles to my Hot Hubby for REALLY making me a Mommy (wink)!

Make a Double Beach Towel

You go to the beach.

You lay out the line of towels.
Sand creeps up through the crack.
Sand on your bum… Try this quick and easy fix for double towel bliss!

Lay towels right side together and sew just inside the thick ends of the towels’ seams.
Be sure to reinforce the ends by going forward and backwards loads of times.
(I wasn’t able to take the seam all the to the end because of the thick ends.)

Ta-Da! No sandy bums…

Perfect for beach and picnics.
Happy Almost-Summer!!I’m adding this to The Lazy Organizer’s Talk About Tuesday. Just found you while blog hopping and you header pic alone had me hooked!!

.
Now I’m linking up with Tightwad Tuesday with Canadagirl because a double beach towel will run you up to $50+ bucks… you can make this out of towel you have.
