The girls and I made 4 dozen of these to bring to a Christmas party this weekend. I would show you video of the process, but it's nothing but me yelling and the girls crying:) I get so picky when it comes to any sort of craft project, when the eyes were getting spaced too far apart, I started freaking out. Anyway, the room Mom for Mallory's class made these for her Christmas party, all the Moms went nuts for them. Cute, right? (My New Years resolution is to figure out how to get the pictures from my i-phone to not turn sideways when I email them...)

I am going to start making this by the boat loads! Oh, my dear Mallory and her chapped lips. Any you know how it goes with 5 year olds...those 18 tubes of chapstick I got her to start off the season are all lost! You can google a recipe for homemade lip balm, or try the recipe I'm going to try...this one from Soule Mama. Let's Connect! Ceci

I don't know how to turn the picture:) It's cute though, huh?

So, your husband gets the whole basement and the flat screen t.v. Mom's get a wallpapered closet? What gives? Check this out!

Let me introduce the ballerina (i.e. Hippo in a tutu!) the worlds greatest soccer player (her words) the princess, and the 34th miner!

I am obsessed with these miner guys! I want to know everything I can about them and how they are doing. Check this article out! http://gizmodo.com/5637882/youre-trapped-2230-feet-underground-this-hole-is-y...

A Full Size Legal Pad with White Paper! On Friday, I mosied over to the office supply cupboard to grab a legal pad for that days work. I write all the stuff down I'm going to talk about on the show that day, and on Friday I couldn't find any white legal pads. There were yellow legal pads, and miniature legal pads with white paper, but in typical OCD fashion, I started to freak out when I couldn't find FULL SIZE WHITE LEGAL PADS! I thought maybe I could find one in the basket I haul all my stuff back and forth to work in, and not only did I find 1 legal pad...I found 8! 8 half-used legal pads, with 3 months worth of notes scribbled on them. What's the one office supply you cannot live without?

Last night, we needed new batteries for the thermostat to keep the air conditioning up and running and Dave was SHOCKED when I offered to go, and fill up his car with gas to boot. Secretly, I needed some "Me" time and I went to the grocery store that has a little bookstore in it and I spent an hour reading magazines! All by myself...no kiddies begging for doughnuts or whatever else the store has put right there at their eye level! What do you do to sneak in "Me Time"?

His HOUSE is less than 90 square feet!
