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.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
