Snow Day!

Even my hubby got to stay home today (which is very rare). It's all starting to melt now, but we had about 4-5 inches this morning.

Here's a pic from our front porch, this morning around 9 AM.

It's so nice to see lots of snow. We don't get much snow here in the south, so everyone is excited to see it. All the kids in the neighborhood are having snowball fights. It's such a fun day!

Wow, it's been a while.

It's been so long since I have posted on my blog. The inspiration to blog has just packed up and left.

Anyway, since I cannot always figure out crafty things to blog about, I decided to change my blog focus a bit. This blog will now focus on my life, as both a mom and crafter.

Notice the stroller review I posted today? Yeah that's the mom part of the blog now. Haha.

Hope you all enjoy the new direction my blog is taking. I hope to blog more in the near future. Thanks for reading!

My Review of Peg Perego Aria Stroller - Corallo

Toys R Us

The Aria OH One-Hand is Peg Peregos lightweight, full-featured convenience stroller. Youll love the way this stroller folds effortlessly and compactly with one hand and one step, and carrying it after folding is easy with the convenient handle. Even with all of its simplicity, the Aria OH still gi...

5 5

Pros: Smooth Ride, Easy to Set Up, Stylish, Comfortable, Easily Stowed, Lightweight, Easy To Maneuver

Best Uses: Toddlers

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

Don't be put off by the price of this stroller. IT IS WORTH IT!

We bought this mainly to go to Disney World with, and to replace our huge Graco stroller.

This stroller has a large basket for a lightweight stroller. I can a medium sized diaper bag plus a backpack purse in it. It also has a reclining seat, two child cup holders with snack track in between, and a parent cup holder. The canopy goes lower than most, and covers my daughter EXTREMELY well, which is exciting for that Florida sun!

We have owned many strollers because we could never find the right one. But now we have, this one is just PERFECT! It is the only stroller we have owned where our daughter's cups actually fit completely inside the cup holders. Oh, and it only weighs about 9 pounds, folds very compactly and is self standing when folded! It also has a carrying handle on one side. This thing is fantastic!

Thanksgiving Jokes

With a sometimes stressful holiday approaching, I thought we all could use a good laugh. I've complied a few Thanksgiving jokes below to keep us all in good cheer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE GOOD NAPKINS The joys of having girls.
My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake).

One day I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar. I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for 'special occasions' (her second mistake).

Now fast forward a few months.... It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the table. When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter. Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a 'special occasion' Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge!!

My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter. 'But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!'

Pass this on to your girlfriends who need a good laugh or anyone who has a daughter! Life is too short for drama and petty things, so for heavens sake, use the good napkins whenever you can!

Why did the indian chief wear so many feathers?

To keep his wig-wam

What did the mother turkey say to her disobedient children?

If your father could see you now, he'd turn over in his gravy.

What do you call the feathers on a turkey?

Turkey feathers, duh.

If april showers bring may flowers, what do may flowers bring?
