Grasshopper Milkshake

It's Friday, yo!!   That means it's time for ice cream with alcohol mixed in it, right?   One of my  favorite cookies are Girl Scout Thin Mints.  But seeing as how Thin Mints aren't available quite yet (I've put my order in, believe you me), I snagged up a pack of Keebler Grasshopper Cookies to make this yummy shake.  It's … [Read More...]

I’m Loving Now…

Hey guys!   The winter doldrums have officially set in, so that means my online shopping addiction is in full swing.   I know it's not healthy, but it makes me happy. You get double the satisfaction...one when you click "purchase" and then again when the item arrives.  It's like a two-fer.  A buy one get one kinda deal.  … [Read More...]

DIY Hair Pins

So, ok. I used to think I was all crafty and such. I have now found, the older I get, the less crafty I become. If it can't be made with super glue and felt, I am most likely never gonna do it.   But here's the deal. Fun stuff can be made with super glue and felt. It's a fact.   Which leads me to these super easy, … [Read More...]

Whatta Man Monday ~ 80′s Throwback: Jake Ryan vs. Lloyd Dobler

Today we are going old school. Olddddd school. Like the 80's. Back when my kids think pictures were taken in black and white.   Back when Kirk Cameron was the hottie of all hotties.

We love Klutz!!

One thing I've learned over the years is that it's a waste of money to buy my son "toys" that don't really DO anything.   Action figures.  Pretend helicopters.  Little cars to push around.  Waste waste waste.   Jon David is only really entertained when he is learning or creating something.  He's always been that way, which … [Read More...]

The Bachelor Recap ~ Episode 3

This episode was touted as the episode where a "mystery woman" shows up and creates all sorts of turmoil amongst the ladies. So I was geared up.  Ready for drama.   Well, of course the good stuff didn't happen until the last 30 minutes and I had to sit through 1 1/2 hours of stupidity.   So, while we're here together, … [Read More...]
