Warning: The first half of Fun Friday Favorites is reminiscent of the Days of Our Lives. Except Bo Brady and Hope aren't smooching. And Dr. Marlena Evans and John Black aren't reuniting. No. My Days of Our Lives is about our house and the crud and the blah days of our lives we've been living. ...
Fun Friday Favorites: Puppy Chow (THE recipe) and gold jewelry…it’s the “IN” thing
You know what's more fun than getting dental work done? About anything. You see, I had some dental work done yesterday and I feel that I'm reaching some mid-age crisis as I am in need of a crown. And not the pretty, sparkly kind that I would enjoy wearing upon my head. NO. The tooth ...
Elfie & Peppermint Patty
Back in 2010, we were given the Elf on the Shelf book with the elf in the box. I was skeptical. Not thrilled, even though it was a gift from my bestie. But I was raised with manners, so I politely thanked Francy and accepted this Christmas gift. This meant work for me and I ...
Book proposals, performances, and pajama pants
Isn't that a catchy title? What do all three of those things have in common? Hold on, I'm about to tell you. Let me share what we've been up to for the past few weeks. For starters, if this hasn't been the longest hiatus EVER. Over the past few weeks, I was busy getting my proposal ...
Giving thanks at Thanksgiving and always
Well, hello dear readers! It has been too long! And tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Bring on the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes & gravy, appetizers, pie, and rolls. Oh, and the turkey. (Can you tell I love me some carbs??!!!) Many things have been consuming me, with writing my book proposal at the very top of the ...
Fun Friday Favorites: It’s officially sweater weather
Look at those two handsome boys. The other night, we stopped by Daddy's work and they immediately began "working" at his desk. They never run out of energy. Me, on the other hand. I run out of energy when I have to remember decimal rules. Yes. Our week was filled with all kinds of excitement. We've ...
Weekend Recap: Deer hunting and Charlie Brown’s new movie
We had another busy weekend with both of the boys having basketball games, looking for some new living room furniture, meetings, and that's just a few of the things that were on the Patterson calendar. YIKES! I feel the need to share some news. I heart Charlie Brown. No, I haven't always loved him, but the ...
Fun Friday Favorites: Nail polish, Thanksgiving decor, and the boys
It's Friday!! My favorite day of the week. Today's post is a random list of things. I felt it necessary to share some nail polish favs. And with Thanksgiving upon us at the end of the month, I have some decor I found that would be wonderful in your cozy home. Also, I am taking time ...
Graveyard Bars recipe and Grandma Helen’s Fall Party
Sunday night through yesterday, we were up to our necks in the stomach bug and not feeling well around here. Not this mama, but Maxim and Hubby and then, Nate felt under-the-weather yesterday. So, the boys and I stayed home and watched a good amount of t.v. in pajamas. Here's to hoping we are over that ...
Some days it is hard to adult, but we must have faith
Fergie, you are all wrong. Big girls do cry. Especially when they have to grow up and clean their closet. (That reference would be to one of my favorite songs Fergie sang back in the summer of 2007. You are welcome for useless musical trivia.) Yesterday, I met my friend Katie for Bible study in the ...
