My New Best Friends

Sometimes I sit and wonder how my "Must See TV" changed from these guys...

To these guys!!!

Being a mom is the best thing I've ever done - and I love almost every minute of it.  But, sometimes when I am singing "There's a Party in My Tummy" while I am showering, I just shake my head and wonder if I will ever be a grown up again.  Then I remember that Noah used to be 2 and somehow he is now 13 and I just sing louder.  Time goes by way too quickly not to enjoy it.  So what if my DVR is filled with cartoons! 

Happy Thursday!

A Fish Named AnnaLauren

What happens at 7pm every night at our house?  This!

Mamaw Betty & Papaw Troy

I am so blessed to have my wonderful grandparents living in the same town.  Not only do they keep AnnaLauren every Wednesday (and spoil her rotten!), my grandmother is quite the seamstress.  She makes most of AnnaLauren's awesome custom outfits and summer dresses.  This year, she made AnnaLauren a beautiful Christmas dress!  I love it and think she looks like a doll in it.

Thanks Mamaw!!!

A Tiny Bit of Craftiness

So, most of the blogs I read are either "Crafty Blogs" or "Mommy Blogs".  As I am continually learning, evolving and expanding this blog, I realize that although I am WAY more of a Mommy Blogger, I aspire to the craftiness I read about.  It is in this spirit that I present my craftiness - hairbows!  When AnnaLauren was born (see it all goes back to being a mommy), I quickly realized that my tastes were excellent.  However, my pocketbook was not always accommodating.  So, after paying $10+ each for hairbows too many times, I went online, googled hairbow instructions and taught myself.  Now I buy ribbon at Wal-Mart or 1/2 price at Hobby Lobby and AnnaLauren has bows to match all her cute outfits for $1 or less each!  Wanna know how to make bows of your own?  Go here.
