Mother’s Day Brunch Inspiration: birds, butterflies and booze. Ahhh. (decor ideas)

May 12, 2010 23 Comments

Why do I host a Mother’s Day Brunch? I’m a mom… shouldn’t I be the attendee and not the host…? Why play hostess? Because I get to do crafty things that are purely unnecessary… but they bring me joy. Crafty Joy is my Mother’s Day gift to me. Each year I have a different color […]

One foot in the sugar bowl and one foot in a mud puddle…

So yesterday I was posting about what a funny little bruiser of a boy Grant is. However, he came home from school and asked me if I would like to hear a Mother’s Day song he is learning at school. Well of course I do! Who loves me every morning? Who loves me every night? […]

Yep. I have THAT kid.

Grant is not always the best behaved little kindergartner…. he’s a BOY. He wiggles. He talks out of turn. He doesn’t always follow directions. He runs with scissors. Typical 6 year old boy stuff. When I picked him up from school on Friday, I received a report from his teacher that he created quite a […]

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. Salty-Sweet heaven.

“Mmmm. Move over, eggs. Bacon just got a new best friend – fudge.” Homer Simpson Bacon. And donuts… Wait. This is about bacon. And chocolate. Together.  In a cookie.  Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies.  A little bit of salty sweet heaven! Some may scoff when they first hear of the combo.   Like caramel and sea […]

Diet Tip of the Day. (Just one….that’s all I’ve got.)

Do you have that certain time of the day where you must. have. a snack? I do. It’s around 3:00 or so. That’s the time of day where I am likely to scarf down a stack of Oreos eat a block of cheese make some bad choices. I don’t know what it is about that […]

My husband keeps my feet warm.

I have said before that my marriage is based on love, trust, respect… and the laughter that can come with totally screwing with the other person. Sometimes it is a big thing. Sometimes it’s the little things. Once when Handsome Hubby and I were out to dinner (at a very nice restaurant) we ordered a […]

A hole in his head. (In a good way.)

Both of Grant’s front teeth have been loose for a while. I mean, we are talking loooooooooooooooooooooooooooose. We’re talking so loose that he could push them out, almost horizontally. We’re talking so loose that those suckers cast a shadow. We’re talking so loose that if he came in for a kiss and a hug, I […]

A 5 minute car ride lasts 5 minutes…. A bad word lasts forever.

The other week I was making one of my many trips up and down Los Al Blvd… running errands… picking up kids… dropping them off someplace else… (going back to the store to pick up the one thing that was actually on my shopping list, yet failed to get.) I was frustrated, for sure. However, […]
