Cookie Exchange Madness!

2011-12-15T18:17:00.001-05:00

So I decided to host a cookie exchange/ Tupperware party this holiday season. I think it is a great way to share a last party of the year with my girlfriends and an easy way to get lots of cookies! What I didn't realize at the time I scheduled this thing (way back in June) was I would be part of a new club also having an exchange. What this means is I have to bake 6 dozen per party! The good

Do you know what Thirty One Gifts are?

2011-02-12T21:32:00.003-05:00

The first time I saw the products of Thirty One Gifts was at my son's preschool in TN. All the kids had the insulated lunch bags with their names embroidered on them. They looked so cute all lined up on the cubbies. I never did get anything there in TN but something prompted me to seek out a rep online to order one of the really cool Skirt Purses they sell. It is such a brilliant concept

DIY watercolorsI woke up early this morning to complete one last Christmas gift for my 2 1/2 year old son: watercolors! I had seen a DIY watercolor recipe in Whole Living some time ago and saved it, but you can find the same recipe all over the internet. It's really easy, non-toxic and the colors turned out

Career path for my kids

2011-01-11T10:17:00.000-05:00

I have chosen the career path for my children... They way that they stretch out the the simplest and most mundane tasks, to take much longer than needed. The way that they make me scream like a lunatic. The way they've been talking back with an air of entitlement. These are valuable skills to have and I think they will fit right in at the TSA, the DVM, or any other government run facility.

I have been a bad blogger. I really must start blogging again. CRAZY unpacking in the basement this week. Hope to get crafty again soon.

Annual BBQ In Our New 'Hood

Amanda's Broccoli Salad This is a broccoli salad with raisins and bacon and a sweet and tangy mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar dressing. Ingredients: 2 bunches broccoli, florets only (5 to 6 cups florets) 1 medium red

Mini Golf and the Bounce House

2010-08-01T13:19:00.001-04:00

We spent yesterday at the firehouse fundraiser in the park...well really an empty field. Then went to play mini golf. It was torturous to say the least. Between the two preschoolers and the 40 yr old that has the mentality of a preschooler it took over an hour for 18 holes. Collin (3 1/2 yrs) quit at hole 11. Jeff melted down at hole 15. Christy took an extra 15 minutes after we were done.

Ok, so my mom asked me what I want for my birthday and frankly I was stumped. With all the chaos going on I didn't even realize my birthday is 3 weeks away. So I did some thinking and this is what I want. A camera bag with a matching strap. Hopefully my mommy will make me some straps so I can change them out. But maybe my dear husband will read my blog and get me the bag. :-)

Jeff had a fantastic time, other than one minor accidental tripping of a referee (the ref got the worst of it we think). He only played the first 2 quarters and then with the bump on his head we didn't

We had a bunch of snow on Friday night and the boys were so excited they could barely sleep. They headed outside as soon as they could on Saturday morning. This was Friday at 3:15pm. Now around 4:30pm. Now around 5:30pm. Peanut tried to escape...he didn't get really far. Saturday morning! Jeffrey making snow butt prints...he was very impressed with himself.

I felt like complete crap all week but today really was the worst. Did as many little chores as I could before collapsing to watch about 12 episodes of Young and the Restless on the DVR. We had an unfortunate Pitt loss this

I still need to add our "special" ornaments to it. These are just the glitzy things. I am also doing a smaller tree (7ft slim) for the boys downstairs. This one is MINE!

I am almost done with my real website as well. I am going to actually start designing and building for a part time job. So if you know anyone that needs a website or even a banner ad I am your gal!Oh and I started and

Show your teacher some appreciation this week!

2009-05-03T22:56:00.005-04:00

As we endeavor into adulthood, we often put our student life aside, and that includes our teacher appreciation. We keep it in some archive room in our minds, as we are eager to start a new and fascinating “grown-up” life. But as time goes by it is only natural that we start taking files from that archive.

Give it a look, and if you order anything tell her I sent you! Andzia's Amber
