I don't have a picture for this one, but for one of our activity days, we made some boo bags. I thought this would be a fun service project. I was able to pick up some little halloween colored cloth bags for 4/1.00 at Michael's and also a big container of sticky foam halloween shapes. They decorated the bags, made a card, and then we filled them with candy and little halloween treats...

Send in the Clowns...
And I just happen to know some! Look how cute they are! Daddy and Ellie were the hit of

Things I Cannot Live Without
...well, I could, but who wants to?
(in no particular order, except for the way they came into my mind)
1. A good mattress--let's face it, we spend a third of our lives there! It should be good!
2. Chocolate--in many different forms. Cheesecake is a good one. So is a Cadbury Fruit and Nut Bar.
3. Diet Coke--I was never a soda drinker. In fact, I once got...

my audition for design star!
This is my first attempt at reupholstering furniture! Okay, not reupholstering, but I made slipcovers for my couch and chair and a half. I found a great ebook at pink and polka dot that was awesome!

Monday morning musings
So, did you know that you can have tennis elbow even if you don't play tennis? Or that you can throw up several times a week for almost a month without being pregnant? Or that within one week your husband, son , and daughter can all injure themselves?

What to do on a snow day
I love comfort food. And hibernating. And cooking with my kids. (Okay, maybe not so much the last one, but it is getting better now that they don't throw the flour all over the kitchen.)
