Hey, I've missed you Ladies! Here's a quick post about what we've been up to. I bought a Gingerbread house and we decorated it together. They boys had soo much fun.



Drake actually enjoyed this activity as well. ;)



We delivered our Red Plate gifts to our friends.



While we were at Tatiana's house, I noticed how creative she got with her tree. She has 2 girls under 2 and put a gate around the presents. Genius!!



Davis won the holiday card contest at school and was invited to the KISD Board Meeting to receive his award. If you can't guess, his is the boy with the "DT" on his hat.



His principal is so amazing, she gave him a new Webkinz to reward him on such a wonderful accomplishment. Davis is STILL beaming from this gift.



After the ceremony we all went for ice-cream to celebrate.

Merry Christmas Laurie!! Whoever your friend is with the fence around her Christmas tree is, SHE'S A GENIUS! I need that fence! Last year, my boys pulled down the entire tree several times. The first couple of times it was traumatic, but after that I thought about just leaving laying sideways in the livingroom. That fence is heavensent!

I've wrapped my gifts not once, not twice, but three times thanks to AJ. She opened them before I woke up on 2 occasions. I should of thought of the fence! (Although I'm sure she would have found some way to work her way in anyway.) Congrats to Davis - I know this isn't his first award. You've got quite the artist on your hands!

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...
