Stuff...

Stuff I like....

I recently felt a butterfly in my tummy when I saw pictures of some vintage pyrex...

So, I guess that means I like it. :)

I decided I would definately add these items to my list of "stuff I like" and begin searching for pieces when I go to yard sales, thrifting and junking.

Saturday was a glorious day because I bought my first piece at Goodwill. YAY!

I hope I can find all colors and patterns as I search for more!!!

I checked Ebay to compare what I paid and I did GOOD!!!! YaY me!!! I paid at least a third of what they have on Ebay for the same piece!!!

Laughing Cow...

A friend at work, Laura, came by my desk at work yesterday. She said... "I didn't eat my snack today"... "do you want it?".

Of course, I asked..."What is it?"

She said it's YUMMY...Laughing Cow Cheese only 35 calories and crackers.

I've been seeing the commercials for Laughing Cow and wanting to try it so, I accepted the uneaten snack and .... it was really good!!! YUMMMMMY!!!!!

I am definitely going to be getting some Laughing Cow Cheese for my frig. (and hide it from Mollie)

Back to School

It's back to school time! I love this time of year. It's a fresh slate for students. A new school year of studying, grades, teachers, lunches, tests, exams, quizes, friends, ball games, etc.


This year my child will begin the 11th grade and my great niece Hannah starts kindergarten.


How exciting!!! I remember Mollie's first day of kindergarten. She had two front teeth missing, a blue plaid dress, white sandals, and a curly pony tail.


The other day, I was running an errand in Target (my favorite store) and was drawn to the school supply section.

I saw these cute lunch boxes and wished my Mollie was young enough to want one.

Water for Elephants

I bought the book Water for Elephants at a yard sale for a dollar. I would have to say I got more than a dollar's worth of reading entertainment.

It's not a book I would normally read but, I kind of wanted to see the movie because of the actors but now I really want to see the movie because of the story.

The main character, Jacob, narrates his experiences as a young man who joins a traveling circus at an emotional time in his life.

The author easily takes you through Jacob's life at 23 to his life at 93 and back again. The times of past and present flow smoothly together.

I would recommend this book!!! I can't wait to rent the movie now!!!

Day Off

I had a day off from work last week for a doctor appointment. So, since it's summer time...Mollie went with me.
After the doctoring was over...It was an official....

GIRLS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

You may ask... What do you do on a girls day? Well, i think it's best to answer this question in picutres....






You go to thrift stores and find AMAZING bargains...like these Abercrombie Jeans for $5.00. Wooo Hooo!!!




Your daughter might buy matching sunglasses for you to sport....



And finally, you might get to try a new yogurt place wearing your new sunglasses!!!

I don't think I would trade one of my girl days with Mollie for a million trillion dollars!!!

I love you baby girl!!!

Pretty Little Liars Book 1

We watch the Pretty Little Liars show but Mollie has read all the books. Apparently I ask too many questions because Mollie won't tell me anything that is going to happen or who "A" is so, I decided to read the books myself.

I just finished the first one.




So far it isn't too far off from the show. Just a few little changes that I read but, it was good. Now, on to book #2.

VBS 2011

I've been really busy the last few weeks. We've repainted Mollie's room a beautiful blue color...repainted the bathroom. We've cleaned out closets, been thrift shopping, burned trash as we cleaned out junk in the house, and now it's VBS week at church.
I'm tired and really sleepy but it's been very rewarding and fun.
Here are a few pictures from Vacation Bible School.



Mollie and Brandon showing brotherly/sisterly love....



Mollie and her 4/5 yr old buddies....


Our VBS theme this year is THE LIFE OF MOSES and our learning center is ...Moses and the burning bush...



And here it is....our burning bush.
