I'm all about finding ways to make my life easier. Not that I'm lazy, though I'm a little bit of that too...but truly on any given day, I'm going in at least 20 different directions at once. What mom isn't!?!? And to manage all those directions is one item that I can't live without, my iPhone. My calendar, my contacts, my 6 different email accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Starbucks, Camera are...
Happy Monday Everyone! First off, a quick apology. It seems Feedburner has been playing some selective tricks with the MFE Readers & Followers and randomly deciding who it wants to send daily subscriptions to and who it doesn't, and it changes throughout the week. So, we switched our subscription service this past weekend. You will now be receiving your daily emails through Mail Chimp. I'm doubly crossing my fingers that...
These weeks keep flying by, HOW does that happen?!?!? I must say, I LOVED my week off from cooking!! Such a treat! I can honestly say I have never done that before, but will definitely again. It was obviously a little pricier than cooking every meal, but if you balance it between some lower priced places, it's not too bad. And fun for older kids too, you could have everyone...
I am not a crafty person. Wish I was. But I'm not. Wont even pretend to be just a little bit crafty. Instead I like to find people that ARE crafty and toss ideas around with them, since I know the completed project will look MUCH BETTER coming from them rather than me. The current project I was trying to figure out was cute Valentine's T-shirts for the girls. Usually...
I love finding things that make me feel good. I know this sounds lame, and trust me, I LOVE being a mom and I LOVE our darling Littles - but there are still more than a handful of times that I long to fit in my cute jeans from pre-pregnancy, or pop on that cute pair of heels that I know used to turn a few heads...but I just don't...
Honestly, I have the BEST Book Club group of friends ever! I so wish you could meet them as they are a FAVORITE group of girls! They can multi-task like nobody's business!! And are amazing examples of what moms and friends should be. (I can only hope that Addie & Hay will know friends as fabulous.) Last night was our Holiday Book Club Party which is the one book club...
I am so fortunate to know a photographer like Sandy Heit! Not only has she been amazing at capturing wonderful images of our children and family, but she is also a wealth of knowledge in helping me learn how to use this new beast of a camera that I'm swinging around these days! (To see more on Sandy, check out this earlier post). Soap Box Moment for just a sec......
There is no better description for Juliska's tableware, than their own description. It truly could be "the most beautiful tableware in the world". And I'm not the only one to think so - House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home, Martha Stewart Living, countless celebrities, high end department stores and my very own book club all feel the same way! What I love most about Juliska's products is that they are FAMILY...
I know you're all anxiously waiting....I was tapping my foot impatiently myself Saturday morning waiting for Addie to wake up and be the "official Halsea contest drawer".  And then of course life took us in a million directions, but the bowl of names patiently waited for us...and just before nap time Addie got to work.... Ummm, what's THIS bowl of goodies? WEEEEEEEE, this drawing stuff is fun!! Let me see...
Well, I have definitely been a little behind the game this week! I kind of feel like Addie in this photo! I WAS feeling pretty good about all the fun posts this week! So many wonderful FAVORITES! But then as I sat down to work on today's post, it occurred to me that I never posted a menu, shopping list or December "to do" list last Friday!!! HELLO - brain...
