Sweet Treats

I have pretty much finished the mantel headboard.  Notice the theme-  Birds.  I will probably continue to antique the mantel until I get exactly the look I want. This bed is in our guest bedroom.


I cut open my first good watermelon of the season and it is SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!  From 7 to 11 this morning I have eaten the other half.  My stomach looks like a watermelon.


I bought this Slushy Magic cup at the store a couple of weeks ago.  It was sorta expensive, but well worth the $14 I paid!  You freeze the "magic ice cubes,"  pour in your favorite drink and it makes it all slushy.  All you do is shake it for one minute. VERY GOOD!  Last night I put Coke in there and it was almost as good as a Coke Icee!

I almost bought the slushy thing earlier today but was skeptical of how well it worked. Guess, I'll have to try it out. Love the headboard!!!

Thanks for the review of the slushee cup. My 5 year old is begging for one for her birthday. I think you just sold me. :)

Where do you buy the Slushy Magic Cup? Sounds fun! Love your blog! You're so funny and give good tips! Love the Belvita cookies and the canned squash! Tried them because of you!

Coke Icees & Slurpees are my favorite too! Where can I get my hands on a slushy cup?

The mantle headboard is beautiful!

Only you would buy slushy magic! :)
And I have eaten half a watermelon in less than 24 hours. I would have eaten a whole one but my mom only gave me half.

Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

New Toys

Friday I decided that Emily was spending too much time watching t.v. I read an article on the internet about how babies learn best with hands on experiences. Emily has always LOVED t.v. She just gets glued to it. I had also been thinking about most all the toys she has are really too babyish for a 10 month old, sooooooooooooooooo I went to Wal-Mart Friday and got her some new toys. I got her a pull-along puppy and a toy in which you drop balls into the top of it and they go through a maze and turn on lights and play music. They were both for babies 12 months and older. Emily likes them, but she can't quite master them yet. She doesn't love them, as I had hoped. But, we have a family member who does LOVE them! It is our crazy cat Kristen. She loves to stalk and attack the puppy and she thinks the balls are for her. She played with them all afternoon on Friday. So Kristen thinks she has new toys especially for her and Emily is content playing with the remote, magazines, cords and...
