Happy Holidays!

SnOw DaYs

Today we went out and played in the snow. It was very fun. Little was having a blast. She fell down a hundred times but laughed the entire time.


Our Snow Angel!

Getting ready, she wasnt sure about all the clothes. I dont think she could put her arms down.
This was taken when we had the first snow of the year. She came and got me to show me something outside. It was so cute.

Early Christmas

We wanted to have a little Christmas with our small family. We made a gingerbread house and opened presents. It was very Fun. Little K got really into the opening presents part.


Here is Little K picking off the fishes off the roof the next day.

Randon Pictures of last two weeks

I have a bunch of pictures that I want to post... Kinda random stuff
Coloring her snowman this morning.


OK, I should probably explain this one. I heard her crying and walk in (already had the camera in my hand) and saw her hand stuck in her toy. I had to snap a shot before I helped. Does that make me a bad mom?


Here is when I caught her right after she tipped the tree over (for the 10th time) She was very interested in the ornament on the top of the tree.... which is now in her hand.


She is being silly in the tutu I made for her.


My new holiday decor for my entry way.

We gave her an early Christmas present. Elmo slippers. She absolutly LOVES them. "Mamo" is what she calls them.

Favorite Things

Rain drops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens..... are not my favorite things. BUT here is a few of MY Favorite things

I love our fire place. I love the warmth it gives and the cozy feeling it adds to our house. Being in an old house has taken some getting used to but the fire is truly wonderful.

Since I cut all my hair off, I can not just pull it in a pony tail everyday. I have to style it every time I wash it. And that meant I needed a new straightener. I love the new thin light straighteners. It is so fast and easy.

Target, no explanation needed - who doesn't love Target?

I love ORKIN! It has been SO wonderful since we have started using them. They are great. They took care of the ants so fast. And the spiders and other creepy things have disappeared. The mice are on an eviction plan right now. The joys of living in an old house!

This year, I splurged and bought a personal CIRCUT Machine. I am so happy with it. I have used it so much. From Christmas gifts, Holiday decorations, cards, scrapbooks stuff and so much more. So worth the money!

I love the Hobby Lobby. I get coupons via email once a week and love using it. There is so much fantastic decoration stuff, great crafts and awesome fabric. Of course I have to have this on here. I love Scentsy! I love that it is wickless and flameless. I am crazy about the new holiday scents Cinnamon Cider, Vanilla Walnut, and Christmas Tree.

OK, I will admit that I love Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke. I am a sucker for a cold beverage.
New little shop I found called The Yellow Beetle. Super cute gifts and little things. If you haven't been there, you should go (not the greatest place for kids though.)

Little People for little people - My MIL got this for us last year. It was the greatest gift. Little K loves it. She will go find the little baby Jesus and say " Hesus, baby" and rock him and kiss him. It is so cute. You can buy it at Fisher Prices Website. Only 33 bucks. It is so worth it!

Fabric! I am addicted to buying Fabric. I am crazy about anything Amy Butler. Check out her website at amybutlerdesign.com

Little K had been sick and stuffed up and coughing. So I found this inhaler from VICKS. LOVE IT! You add Hot tap water to this container with a pad with vicks med on it. It isn't hot enough to burn Little K and small enough for her to hold it herself. It doesn't leak either! She gets her vapor medicine with no fuss and no mess. Great Find

These just a few of my favorite things. Now you Share your favorite things!

Locks of Love - I DID IT!

Right Before I cut it all off..... I cant believe how long I let it get.

Right after I got it cut. Pretty big change huh! Not the greatest picture though.
Here is Little K laughing at me taking pictures of myself.

I finally did it! I cut my hair. And I mean CUT! I had 15 inches cut off to donate to Locks of Love and then we took another 2 inches off. It is pretty short. I am getting used to it. It wasnt as hard as I thought it was going to be. The hardest thing is not having it in a pony tail all day, but that is a good thing right? Anyway I will get cuter pictures soon.
