Grandparent Post

-
We finally enjoyed 6 consecutive days of sunshine. Yeah! We spent almost every day at the pool, friends pool, or spray park. I'm calling this a Grandparent post because it just about the kiddos.



So what do you get when you combine mint dental floss and a binki? Drake found out, a minty binki!



Dylan's such a cheese when it comes to the camera. He took a break from Webkins to make a silly face.



Davis designed his best K-nex yet. It's a helicopter with a motorized propeller and landing gear. I swear that boy is gifted.





Guess who had to move the storage place for the pens? Yep, me. I can no longer keep all my pens in a convenient place in the study drawer. Drake can now open the drawer and take off the caps. He drew all over himself. Luckily not on my carpet.

As for me I've been reading this book on Michelangelo. It's not a thrilling read (per se) but for some crazy reason I can't put it down. I'm completely intrigued by his life. The boy had some seriously bad luck. Poor Guy. I'm really looking forward to this week. 3 of my friends come back from their month long vacations/family visit. Yeah! And because I've been a little down, I planned a brunch/play date on Wednesday with some of my other friends and their kids. It should be a better week.

cute boys! that is an awesome KNnex, and we have not yet succumbed to the webkinz trend but my daughter is begging to get started, and saved her own money to do it! way to go on planning your own fun! it'll surely get you out of your funk. it's a bummer when your fave pals are gone.

Your boys are so cute! One of my 2 year olds did the same thing with markers. I'm happy you were able to enjoy some sunny days!!

Cute post - Knex are the best toys for creative boys! My daughter just got a Webkinz too, too much time on the computer sometimes for those little kiddies - however, look at me/us blogging isn't the best example of how to monitor your electronics time!! Ha Ha!

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
