Oh Happy Day!!!

You may remember a few posts back I wrote about Fishful Thinking. Tiffany from the R Family Diaries was chosen to be a part of the faculty for the Fishful Thinking Symposium. She was holding a giveaway to raise awareness for this wonderful cause. Guess what...I won! Yea for me! I am happy to announce that I won a (much needed) $100 Target gift card! Woo-Hoo!

So of course, I am super excited and equally grateful to Tiffany. Thank you so much!

Have You Found Your Pot of Gold?

Rainbows and pots of gold are a must when you are decorating for St. Patrick's Day. Here is one that is made from a paper plate.

1. Cut a paper plate in half.


2. Cut the center of the plate out to form a rainbow shape.


3. Paint the half with black paint.


4. On the other piece, paint a rainbow using fingerprints.


5. Cut a cloud from construction paper and paint it white.


6. Cut some circles from yellow paper and glue them to the back of the black piece, sticking out over the edge.


7. Glue the pot of gold to one end of the rainbow.


8.Glue the cloud to the other end.


9. Add a piece of string to the top to hang your rainbow.

My Dirty Little Secret!

Today I received a cute card from my friend Whitney. She is so kind and she knows me so well! While I was reading it, my son was reading over my shoulder, when I heard him gasp.

"Mom, how does she know that we have a mountain of laundry?"
I immediately burst into laughter! I said, "Aaron, it's not like it's a dirty little secret!"
"What? You mean you tell people that stuff?"
"Of course I do. I blog about real life. They know everything about me."
"Are you kidding me?! Do they know that I have wart on my hand?"
They do now;0)

So here is a current picture of me, if you look ever so closely, you can see my very stylish boots sticking out from under said laundry mountain!
