Thinking of Home

Tonight I was going through the pictures I have on my computer ran across one of the precious pictures of my kids.  It was taken in July of last year when the kids and I were visiting our family back home in TN.  When its just us, we stay at my parents house.  The smaller bed is in my old bedroom and in my sisters room is the bigger bed.  The kids sleep in the bigger bed.  One night as I do everynight, I went in to check on them.  This was too precious pass up.  I know its not current and from today, but I have to share it.

M has her pink blanket near by and C has his current green blanket and his yellow blanket with the blue designs on it.  The yellow blanket was given to us when I was pregnant with him and he loves it so much.  Even to this day.  I eventually want to so something special with it so he will always have it.  His "goggy".

Love Getting Pampered!!!

Its not very often I do get pampered, but its sure nice when you do!  Thanks to Leila at Mopheads, I have a nice style again!!!  Its so nice to find a good cosmetologist!

So since we put the Christmas stuff in the attic, I decided to have J pull the "keepsakes" box down for me.  Inside that box I have a few of my old outfits in there from when I was a kid.
I put a few of these things on my daughter M tonight and wow there is such a difference between us!

These were my absolute favorite pants (now shorts!).  They are a 4 slim....we cant fasten them in the front for nothing.
Now this...is a timeless pic.  This is a picture of me about my 3rd birthday.

And this is my daughter in the same dress....minus the tomato soup.

She is sooo much bigger than I was at her age.

I'm sitting here eating some of my homemade salsa chopped up by my new food processor.  Oh my how I've missed it since my old food processor broke!  I'm even dreaming of eating tonights leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Crazy Days

You know those days where everything is not going the way you planned?  Yep..one of those days.  I wish there were more hours in the day.  Successful things include making my menu, grocery list, pantry and fridge cleaned out, all dishes done, and M is resting peacefully with her ear infection.  

Time to get back to Clean Eating and working out!  Tomorrow is day 1.  I'm looking forward to taming my tastebuds again!

Day 2....

I am soo behind, I should really do this earlier in the evening. haha
Boy my house is a mixture of scents. The 20 Scentsy Bring Back my Bar scents are in bead containers ready to be samples!  Thank goodness for 3 warmers going at once or else I would still be at it.

Now I just need to label them.

Happy New Year!

This may show up as being on the 2nd, but I did start on the first.  After a long drive and finally getting a few neccessities for the house, we are home from TN.  It was so hard leaving today.  It was a little too short.

We got "home" on Tuesday and Christmas round 2 at my Parents house which I scored another Titans shirt!  Wednesday was Christmas round 3 at my Grandma's house and that evening round 4 at J's parents house.  So much goes on when we go home.  Thursday night my sister, nephew and neice joined us at Opryland Hotel.  In a way, I was suprised at how many places they have put in to eat at since the Flood in May 2010.  They use to have this restaurant that was on a lazy susan type of thing that is no longer there.  Its amazing how some of it has changed and what has not changed.  Either way, the kids enjoyed theirselves soo much.  My sister and I remember having so much fun and being so amazed at everything when we were kids also.  My nephew C now has a new buddy in his Uncle J.

Here is one of many I got at Opryland.  I'll post a few more later.  This was in May when the storm waters flooded TN.

This sculpture is in one of the newly designed lobbies there at Opryland. Here is a link to a picture of what this area looked like about 8 months ago.
