Fun Friday Favorites: A Daisy update and a few great books for summer reading

We have been doing the happy dance over here for about 48 hours now because SCHOOL IS OUT! Can I get a hallelujah?! They are growing up so fast! While the boys had a great school year and we were blessed with amazing teachers (thank you dear teachers for all you do!), we are ready for ...

Fun Friday Favorites: A GREAT book, some candles, and the perfect outfit for spring

You all. It is coming so quickly that I can't even. The last day of school!? After today, the boys will have 11 1/2 school days left and then, sweet hallelujah...summer. Bring it. We are ready. I need a little less running and a little more staying at home. When you feel like a gourmet cook ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Fitbits, rugs, and mugs (and the Days of Our Lives)

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 ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Men’s gifts that every guy will love

Well, I've committed to being political correct on the blog (hahaha) and because I value ALL my readers, I thought I'd be fair and post a Fun Friday Favorites that pertains to the men. Because as we ladies know...doggone it. Men are special, too. At least that is what Jack Handey would have said on ...

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.
