Copy Cat

I've seen others make this so called 'hair bow holder' and it looks easy enough for a person like me... so I gave it my best shot. You just take an old picture frame, paint, glue and ribbon and it's done!!
What started as a boring brown frame is now Abby's cute bow holder with a custom paint job to match her room.

Pool For Sale

It might not be the time of year where you think of hot temps, sunshine, and a day relaxing poolside. But the truth is, the weather we are ALL dreaming about is only a few short months away. We think its time to pass our pool onto a new home. Don't wait too long or this chance of a lifetime could pass you by!

OK, the truth is the pool is not for sale. During the 'blizzard of 2011' this past Tuesday night, our pool cover did not like the weight of ALL the snow and it pulled the sides of the pool in... it doesn't look so good.

We are waiting on the claims adjuster, figuring out if to get a new pool in the spring or no pool at all?!?!

If anyone would like to donate to the Brogger underground pool fund, please don't hesitate :-)

clever

If your children are anything like mine, they LOVE to play in the snow. When we had the 'blizzard of 2011' on Tuesday night my kids could not wait to get out and play Wednesday morning.

The thought of getting the kids' snow gear on, plus mine, makes my head hurt. By the time you get one child ready the other is overheated with all that crap on.

So it was time to get creative... bring the outdoors in!

I filled the sink with snow and let the kids have at it. They stood there for over and hour and played quietly!

p.s. disregard the mess behind Abby. When I'm stuck at home I feel a strong urge to bake.
