came and boy oh boy where the kids super excited after not having seen snow for 2 yrs!
You would have thought it was Christmas out! The girls didn’t get a chance to play in it this time, cause they went to church with Grandma… but Hunter was super excited and headed right out to play!
Here is the first Snowman made for 2010!
We have lots of family in town right now visiting, and what better way to help with their snack attacks than Chex Mix??
While they are sitting watching those Football games, or the kids are playing, Chex Mix is the best solution cause its easy to grab and snack. Best part it comes in many different flavors to statisfy everyone! Did you know it comes in 13 different flavors???
Not only do they offer lots of flavors, they also have 50% less fat then potato chips, so you can feel better about eating them. Great for snaking!!
We had a great time watching tv, playing games, catching up, and snacking. We had the Honey Nut, Turtle, and Traditional. I like them all, but the Turtle was the best sweet one I’ve had. Love Caramel!!!
Hope everyone enjoys the coupons we were given, and buys some for their own family fun, or parties with Friends!
Thanks again to My Get Together and Chex Mix!!!
*I was given the product sample in exchange for my review. No money was exchanged. All opinions are solely mine!
1. From "Men Are Dumb ....": If you had a theme song that played whenever you walked into a room full of people, what would it be?
I really am not sure… Hmmm… Girls just wanna have fun.
I’ve never really thought about it…
2. From Pam of "Alert And Oriented x 4": Which of your shoes are your absolute favorite, and which are of the object of your most painful shoe-buyer's remorse?
I have one pair of shoes, that are my favorite. They are croc sandals… I got them last year on clearance for $10, they are normally $40. I wear them everyday!
As for buyers remorse… I don’t really have any.
I have wide, and big feet for a girl. So, trying to find shoes is darn near impossible for me, I get so frustrated looking.. So sadly I only own 4 pairs of shoes. 2 sandals, and 2 sneakers.
3. From Susanne of "Living to Tell the Story": Tell about your favorite birthday celebration that you've personally experienced.
Not really sure I have a favorite. As a mom, we usually don’t have tons of time or money to do anything. So any of them spent with my family are good ones.
One year I’d love to go on a cruise with my family for my birthday though! I think it would be a blast!
4. From Lori of "Just me and My Life": If you were a flavor of ice cream, which would you be?
Ben & Jerry’s Brownie Do gooder!!!! Yummy!
5. Cindy Swanson of "Notes in the Key of Life" asks: Have you ever had a crush on a movie star? Who was it, and are you still crushing?
Have a crush on… Hmm.. Not sure it is a crush, but I have always thought that Vin Disel is hot… and I still do. Love his movies too!
6. Jill from "Jill Boyd's Place" inquires: Glasses or braces--if you had to wear one, which would it be?
I would have to say Braces, cause I am suppose to wear glasses for reading and stuff, and I hate them so I never wear them!
7. Nel from "Fasteneau Facts" asks: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Somewhere in Europe… Not sure I can pin point an exact location until I went there to look around, but I have always wanted to live in Europe.
8. Thena from "Patiently Waiting" wants to know: If money were no obstacle, what would be the perfect birthday gift to receive?
A fabulous vacation to either Europe, or a cruise.. Not picky as to which, with my family, and a few friends. Yup the more the merrier!
9. From "Life Through Bifocals," LynnMarie asks: What is your favorite birthday meal?
Olive Garden, I love the Olive Garden… YUMMMY!
10. Debby at "Just Breathe" checks in with: Do you still send hand-written thank you notes?
Yes I do, I am a very big believer in sending actually hand written notes and letters. I think that sometimes you just need to show that emotion, that you can’t get from a email.
11. Linda from "Mocha with Linda" poses this question: What is something you've done that you never thought you'd do?
Not really sure… I can’t think of anything right now.. Hmmm….
12. Jewel, my homegirl from Indiana who writes at "Musings from the World of Jewel," is very insistent that we answer this: Mount Rushmore honors four US Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. If you could add any person to Mount Rushmore, who would you add and why?
Wow excellent question, but you know… I have no idea. Mickey Mouse, cause he seems to be a big icon for today’s youth??? =)
Just a thought.
I love KT Tunstall so when I was offered a chance to review her new CD, by One2One Network, I jumped on it!
Today Oct 5th, she released a new album “Tiger Suit” . This is her 3rd Album she has released. This Scottish-born Singer and songwriter has already hit the Top 20 with one of the songs on the album “ Fade Like a Shadow” on the radio.
KT is headed out on tour this Fall all over the US, which you can find here.
If you are having a hard time remember just who KT Tunstall is, you might remember some of these Grammy nominated songs, “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”, “Suddenly I see”, and “Hold on”
My personal favorite of hers all time is “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”. Do you have one??
On the new cd, my favorite is… I would have to say “Fade Like a Shadow” which you can see the video here.
The songs on her new CD are:
Buy: You can get a copy at Amazon
What you waiting for head out and get a the CD!!! You can also find KT Tunstall on Facebook, and Twitter.
*As a blogger for One2One Network I received a complementary CD, in return for my review. Opinions are solely my own.
Outside my window... It is quite nice here in FL right now… Its finally cooling down a bit. High 80’s but not so humid.
I am thinking... Got most of the rest of the packing done over the weekend, but still have a bit more to finish up. Can’t wait to see my Monkey’s, I have missed them so!
I am thankful for.. Fabulous and supportive friends, and a wonderful mom.
From the learning rooms….. Going better than I expected…
Hunter- Still has no trouble with Science & Math… however, writing is still a struggle.
Rachel- is doing fabulous with all her studies. Very happy!
Sage- is doing great… Starting to learn to read..its cute to hear her talk now, cause everything she says, she sounds out. Very cool to watch.
From the kitchen….Leftovers, cause we are making a Turkey tomorrow… I was stumped for meals for the next few days, Turkey sounded good, and you can make good leftovers with it! LOL
I am creating…. A plan for a smooth and successful move. (Ha, who am I kidding)
I am wearing.. My normal, shorts, t-shirts, and croc sandals! (for the week, then I won’t be able to for a few months)
I am going.. be very busy for awhile… Helping mom, settling, and looking for a house to buy. Phew, I’m exhausted just thinking about it!
I am hearing….Sage singing to herself.. Gotta love waking up to that.
I am reading… Nothing right now… I finished Eat, Pray, Love… so I’m waiting til I can get a copy of Nicholas Sparks new book.
Around the house…Last minute packing….
One of my favorite things…Giggles of my monkey’s
A few plans for the rest of the week: Not much…. last minute packing, dropping a few things off, saying good-bye to some peeps, and then heading out on Sunday… Its a bittersweet good-bye….
Here is a picture for thought I am sharing…
Fall colors…
As I sit here with my little monkey watching Scooby-doo, and wandering what my other two monkey’s are doing with Grandma today… (we will see them in 8 days) and smelling my roast in the crockpot.
I was just rattling some thoughts around in my brain and thought I’d share.
I was wandering around in Target the other day… Little Monkey wanted to see “the piggies”. She has this obsession with real piggy, piggy banks. Its rather cute! Right now Target has these piggy banks that are dressed in Halloween costumes, they are rather adorable….. Any who, back to my point. We were going through the Halloween costumes. She was pointing out the ones she likes, and we were commenting on some. I started to feel a bit guilty, cause I knew we can’t afford to buy new ones this year. Between moving, and a few bills, my other daughters birthday it just won’t happen. I think, Halloween can be such a fun and imaginative time. However, it drives me crazy how much they charge for the lamest of costumes. We some some for 5-8 yr olds for $30!! That is INSANE! Doesn’t even include some of the extras you need to complete the look. Why do they need to cost that much??? As a parent how can I feel ok paying $70-90 for 3 costumes that are worn for one day??
Well, we put ours in a trunk of dress up clothes, and they continue to play with them all year long, but still. I can’t even think about paying that amount.. So not this year, or even any year will I.
We either buy them on clearance after Halloween the year before, or we come up with something from what we have at home. Does that make me a bad mom?? No, I don’t think so, just frugal and imaginative.
What will we do this year??? Well, they are going to have to dig into their trunk of past ones, and see what they can come up with. The good part? We will be in a different state, in our new home, so no one, except maybe my mom (who I may have sent pic’s to in the past) will remember or even know they are past costumes.
What do you do to cut down on the cost of costumes?? Do you make your own?? Buy?? Go to a online store that is cheaper?? Or not go out???
I’m curious….
Thanks for listening to me…
Is anyone else as confused as I am, as to how it got to be October already?? Last I remember it was June and the kids were getting out of school. How come time flies when you don’t want it to, but doesn’t when your going crazy???
October really signifies so much doesn’t it?? Means Christmas isn’t to far away, Thanksgiving is around the corner, a new season.. Leaves changing, apple picking, baking, and Halloween all rolled in one! Phew, I’m excited and tired just thinking about it. LOL!
What do you have planned for October anything special??
Here is a list of what we will be up to this month!
That is just some of what we will be up to. I’m trying my best to keep up with my Reviews, and we have a few more coming up in the next couple weeks…but please be patient with me as we move across the country. Try to get settled into our temporary home, while we look for hopefully our new home, and last move for many, many years!
May your fall season be filled with many excited adventures… and happiness!
We are excited to do some of those things that we haven’t been able to do in a couple years! Of course we will be sharing them all with you!
Happy October!!!!
