Caught! Red Handed


My little boy is such a gem. He's 99.9% of the time a perfect kid, he rarely cries, rarely fights, and often eats everything on his plate (without throwing anything!). BUT when he does decide to be mischievous, the kid goes all out. Take, for instance, the time we were outside cleaning out the garage (this was last week) when I decided it had been awfully quiet inside for a little to long. So, all muddy as I was, I trudged into the house to see what was going on, and what did I discover?

Mr. Munchkin Boy had emptied an entire pitcher of juice on the table and was gleefully playing in it (on the table... he was on the table). Now who on earth left the juice on the table is beyond me (I'll blame someone else) but he was covered in red.

I chuckled at the metaphor, cleaned up the mess and shuffled him outside to show his dad (who chuckled as well). We just had to get a picture for posterity sake. He's such a cutie.

Wow. Literally, red-handed. I love stories about your kids. I tell Jared and he thinks they are so funny.

That is funny. I know you don't like doing too many pictures but think about us...your kids grow up so fast and we hardly ever get to see them. Give us more visuals please. They are so adorable.

He looks so different from when I saw him last - growing so fast.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
