Busted my @#%

OK ladies, this is my inspiration board (a section of it) that is on bright red poster board right on the wall in my bedroom (does nothing for my decor but hey)! No, that is not my body, but this below was. You can tell by the hair scrunchy that is was a few yrs ago, ok, 10!

That is on my refrigerator!

I have to walk by both of these every morning, and I must say that it works! See it and you will achieve it! I have now worked out 7 out of the past 8 days and as my 80 year old grandmother would say, "You go GURL!!". I am so proud of myself! I get out in our hot garage on my treadmill (program 8) and turn on my I-Pod! I was going to town to Akon's Smack That (don't judge, it gets me moving)and I thought I would try to do the little side ways trot move...Yea, I busted my @#%! It was just like you see on Americas Funniest Videos where the person slides all the way off and BAM hits the wall! I swear if I had a video camera I would have been $10,000 richer! I thought I was more coordinated than that, but I guess not! I'll keep practicing!

Granny B's dresses

Our sweet dresses came in and these are the 2 patterns I chose for the girls. I got two in each pattern and they turned out beautiful. I even asked her to add a wider hem on the bottom and of course she did! They are so cute and I can't wait to get my girls in these dresses on the beach for an updated picture! I got them here www.grannybsclothesline.com Tell her I sent ya if you go over! Granny B is great, and her Holiday line is precious! Yes, I said Holiday! It will be here before we know it! Of course I won't feel it here in HOT FLORIDA!!!! YUK!!!!



Now let's just see how long it takes to get them out of here (my closet)! Trying to get all 4 girls together, happy, and having a good hair day, lately has seemed impossible! We will see!

Every Southern Belle needs a sun hat!

Allie Grace is getting so big! She looks like she is ready for the races in this floppy hat!

20 Pink Piggies

Just 20 more to go! Opps, 30 more, mine need it too!

Thanks a lot honey!!!

My wonderful husband loves to take the little ones and go to the grocery store! I do not mind this at all, because I can not stand to go. Remember, I live in Celebration, so when you go to our Publix, there are tons and tons of tourist from Disney. It is always packed, and I can only take seeing so many "adults" walking around in mickey ears. No offense, I love Disney too, but I see this all the time! Tons of Mickey stuff on every aisle! It gets crazy! My point is that when he takes Madi and Mallory to the grocery store they take their little metal grocery carts, and yes he lets them fill them up! I asked him why buys what they put in their carts instead of very carefully putting it all back and his reply was," well, you know, Madi wanted it, and she would have pitched a fit!" Hello! Who comes home from Publix with a Barbie boogie-board, Dora cup($6 crazy), and about 4 books! Dear Lord! Oh yes, and thanks for purchasing this little tub of beauty knowing that I am on a diet! It is hard enough to put all the little cookie dough squares on the pan w/out eating one, and here it is in a tub!! Like I am not going to scoop out a spoon of that sweet loveliness after dinner! Preciate it!!!

Rub a dub dub-2 girls in 2 tubs???

Madi just had to get baby Allie's tub and make a boat! Those girls are too funny!

You go girl!

Is this not the most adorable picture!! This is my niece Kaiden! Look at her in that bikini, bless it, she takes after me!!! I could eat her up! I love you Kaiden!

This is a drawer in my closet!

These were on the shelf in my closet and the blue bag is jammed full of more pens!

These were in the dining room hutch! I won't even go toward the desk! Way too much to photograph!

Yes, and these came out of my purse! See the Montblanc my husband put in my stocking, and yet I still carrying my .99 Bic! Gotta love pens!!!

I didn't even begin to start taking pics of all my scrap booking stuff! That is for another post!

I get this honest, from my mother! Every time I call her she is in Office Depot, BUYING A PEN!

1 down only 3 more to go!

Hard to see, but it turned out really cute!

What can I do today?

With all this rain comes great ideas! When I was 8 months pregnant with Allie, I became this creative monster, and now with all the rain I am stuck inside and starting to make more fun stuff! I have started this great wooden plaque for Allie Grace and I just painted it, so as soon as it is complete I will show you guys! I drew the monogram, but now I have to draw it on the wood. I just hope it comes out as cute as when I drew it on paper! I am going to use a soft pink to do the monogram and hang it with pink ribbon. I am going to put it on her door, of course now I will have to make 3 more for little A,Madi and Mallory!

I didn't leave Georgia out! I made this out of a Christmas box top and left over fabric. How cute will that be with a monogrammed G in hot pink! I so need a monogram machine! HMMMM...
I painted these for Madi, and now I am totally re-doing her room so guess what? I will have to repaint them again(they were black before this!). Oh well, I am sure I will have another rainy day to do that!
I painted this for Ashlyn and I still love it!

Rain again, are you kidding me??

I think we are on about day 10 of rain here in Florida! Yuk! As you can see, the girls are not happy! Allie Grace couldn't care less, she is snuggly in her bed asleep! Oh how nice it would be to nap! What is that anyway? Nap, huh, no clue!?

More on Mallory's room

I took these pictures of the girls on the beach before Mallory was born, and the toile is left over wall paper from my guest bathroom! What an easy fun project that was! I need to update those photos for sure! This foot stool was old, ugly and on sale! All I did was recover it to match the chair, and that too was easy! I had fun in her room, so now time to move on to Madi's room!

Rag-a-muffin swag thingy....

This is what I have been doing over the last couple of days...

I got the idea from this web-site http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/ she is amazing!


First it was left over fabric and shirts that no longer fit...

Then I cut them into strips...

and...Ta-Da A fabric swag thingy
What do you think? I know, I need to paint the walls, but I have no idea what color!
I made this picture board last year for Mallory's room, and look still no pictures!
