Pink and Earrings are two of my favorite things!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/LoreleisAtelier

Looking for something to DIE FOR....Maple Curry Cashews   They are scrumptious and YES I've had them.   I order from Mara Maples almost every month! 

I guess I'm done on Etsy today...I look on there every day and with the holidays coming up I really suggest buying from a shop on Etsy- Homemade is the way to go these days.

Halloween Decorating- Oh My!

Going to do Halloween Decorating w/kids tonight.  Stay tuned for pictures!

Happiness Part 2

I was thinking about this all week and YES its CORNY but hey let me have my fun!

Happiness to me is FAMILY

For all the hugs and kisses I get every day
Always surrounded by love
M y family is my world
I laugh and smile everyday!
Loving kids and a loving husband is a joy to have
Yes I feel the HAPPINESS everyday.

Happiness is....

This is my Happiness!

Part 1!



I almost forgot I had to do this but it popped in my head while I was taking a shower this morning.  When I saw what day I had to this Blog Hop I went OH NO I work on the weekends and barley get on the computer .  So in my head and the perfect world I thought I would do this post ahead of time and be already...haha as usual that didn't happen. 

I grew up with a lot of turmoil so I never really was happy until about 7 years ago when I FORGAVE people who hurt me through out my life.  My shoulders were a lot lighter and I actually can sleep at night.  My life changed when I forgave. 

I was able to LOVE and that is where my full complete happiness came until my life! 

Today, I'm participating in Jennifer from Oh So Very Me's Blog Hop on Happiness. Yesterday's post came from http://yellowrosegiftscompanyblog.blogspot.com/ check out her post about happiness.  Tomorrow please check out http://geeky-mama.com/ for her happiness post. 

I plan to do a Happiness Part 2!

My Relationship to my Blackberry

I don't know about others but mine is attached to my hip these day.  Can I leave the house without my phone?  Heck NO!  I will turn around and go get it even if I'm late-which is just about all the time.  Do I use it to make phone calls....no HATE talking on the phone.  Texting and emailing is what I use my BB for! 

My birthday is coming up and I've already hinted enough to hubby what phone I want.  I would love a Blackberry Torch.  My BB now has a crack down the middle thanks to lil man!  But it still works so I'm good until my hubby buys me a new phone (like how I threw that in).

My hubby said the other night if he ever catches me emailing/texting at 1am in the morning he will throw my phone away!  WTH....do I say anything about the endless hours of Xbox playing he does and I'm going to throw his xbox away.  No, but I've thought about it MANY times! 

I got to thinking WOW I would be totally lost w/o my Blackberry and that's scary to think like that but hey I'm honest.  On my phone I go to facebook, twitter, google, take/send pics, games for the kids when we are stuck somewhere, and of course music!  I'm sure I'm missing out on other cool things but for now this is all I can handle.

Should I be this attached to a phone...probably not but it has saved me many times over and I'm standing by my Blackberry!  If anyone tries to take (hear this hubby) my BB then we will have issues.

FlyLady~ Who Does This?

Well I'm going to give it shot!  I remember a couple years ago I tried Flylady and I was bombed with email after email and so I stopped. 

Holidays are around the corner and I'm grown enough that I should be throwing a FABLOUS holiday party...LOL!  It's all about the kids so if I'm prepared and not stressed on what my house looks like. I might actually have a FUN holiday not a stressful one. 

So I know I'm late but Fly Lady says's its OK! 

Here is the home page for FLYLADY- a lot of info http://www.flylady.net/index.asp

I Love My Hair Video

A friend sent this to me and I fell in love with it! My daughter who is 6 (going on 16) has very beautiful curly hair and we go around and around almost every day on how we are going to do her hair.

I love her hair down and free.  Some days she does too but other days I know she hates it when I have to comb thru it.  My hubby's side of the family loves braiding it and that works too.  No matter how she wears her hair- she is too cute!

She got her hair braided (sat for 5 hrs) into tiny braids because she going up to grandma's for a couple weeks and I didn't want my mom to have to do her hair everyday so this helped out so much.

This is how I LOVE her hair!  This was her 1st Day of Kindergarten

When we don't do anything to her hair she looks like this:

I'm Old

My family went out of town to visit family and I stayed behind to work.  Yesterday was a rough one at work-very busy but we got thru it!  When I I got home my body hurt so I crawled on to the bed and watched DVR shows and worked on my laptop for the rest of the night.  Very lazy and fell asleep at 10pm.  I'm old!  Back in the day I would have been at the club with my cutest outfit on with my girlfriends right there with me.  But nowadays sweats and my flip flops are my choice.  Oh what a mom!

Woke up at 5am ready for the world.  I'm able to enjoy 2 of my fav's this morning Coffee and Quiet!  Tonight they come back home and I can't wait.  One day is long enough to be away from my buggers.

Time to finish getting ready and off to work I go. 

School Crap- Calgon take me away

I'm Vice Chair of our school PTA...we call ours PTC though.  Anyways, some days its just hard to hear all the negativity that is a black cloud hovering over our school.  Yes, our school has some issues but they are getting worked on and who goes to a PERFECT school anyways!!  People come up to me and want my help or just want to gripe about the school,  I want to listen because I'm genuinely concerned and my heart goes out to all the parents but I just want to shake them and tell them its not about you its about your kids!Drop all this bitching and if your not happy than GET INVOLVED or there is the door.  Somethings of course we can't fix and some issues they have I'm like REALLY your hating on the school for this- that's when I have to take deep breaths and bite my tongue.  This morning my tongue hurt!

I just had to vent that out! 

My Son and His Son-My Grandson

What else can I say about this picture but BEAUTIFUL!

Missing them a lot!
