My First Time....

What have I been missing all these years??? Oh my goodness, I went to Marshall's and TJ Maxx yesterday for the first time! WOW, I had no idea. I could have spent lots of money there and not have felt guilty at all. I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to really look, but what I saw I fell in love with. We hope to begin the slow process of redecorating/remodeling the house this year, so I have found my go-to store for that. Now, when I say "we" I really mean me gently nudging sweet hubby the whole way, but he'll come around, I just know it!

I did make a quick purchase at Marshall's that I didn't feel that I could live without. First, it is toile, and who doesn't love toile? Next, it was 6 bucks! I mean, come on... I couldn't just leave it there. And, most importantly, I really needed it. I have a few things that I keep on my dresser that are not so pretty so I have thrown them in a plastic pink basket. I love pink, but the plastic was not really working with our decor. So, when I saw this, I just knew it was perfect! Now all my things are organized and pretty. YAY!

Just a quick hello...

I didn't want to go another day without posting, so I just wanted to say HI! Nothing terribly exciting going on today. Brynn had gymnastics practice so I had 2 whole hours to chit chat with my friends. After today, I needed it. Boy, Brynn had some issues. Glad it was bedtime. Anywho, I will try to post something with a picture tomorrow. Have a great day!

The Dentist

Brynn and Parker had their dental appointments today after much drama to even get them scheduled. I won't go into details, but seriously our dental office has got to be the most unorganized I have ever seen. We would switch, but for such wonderful medical insurance we have equally horrible dental insurance and have very limited pediatric dentist choices. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. So, after waiting an hour to be seen the kids did a terrific job. No whining or tears, everyone was happy. Except mommy when she found our Little Miss Brynn has 2 cavities. Really??? I mean, I am almost obsessive with the teeth brushing thing. So we are scheduled for the fillings later in February. Hopefully she won't freak out during that appointment.

Tomorrow they start back their Homeschool Co-op. They are sooo excited and me too because I get my Thursday mornings back! Brynn takes Science and Art this semester and Parker is staying with his little preschool group. So fun!

Off to make dinner. If it is good I'll post the recipe tomorrow.

I'm Back!

Okey dokey! I have decided that I miss this blogging thing and while the Holidays were crazy busy, things have slowed down and I am ready to get back to it. How's that for a run on sentence? :) My dear, sweet, darling hubby got me a brand new DSLR for Christmas so I will be (hopefully) posting some great pics! I have plans to redo Brynns' room so I will share some pics of that as well. Our major goal for this year is to get our other house sold. It is such a dark cloud hanging over our heads. For a while it was fine to have the other house to go to for date nights when Nana watched the kidlets, but now it's just a hassle to keep up with 2 homes. So, fingers crossed that we can put that behind us soon. For now, I will leave you with a new favorite pic of my most special guy, Parker. He just melts my heart...
