Things I love & would like to Have

I love this vintage necklace from the Vintage Pearl.  I am in LOVE with their necklaces. This would be a perfect gift for a mom.



Bob bought me a necklace from there last year & I wear it all the time.  I love my necklace. 

Do you have a Favorite shoe store?!? I went into Journeys for the very first time a month ago.  I LOVE their shoes, they carry my favorite brand of shoes: Puma, DC, Roxy, and Sperrys.  I am picky when it comes to shoes and I found the cutest shoes in there. I took my friend Jenny in there, and she couldn't resist buying a pair of shoes in there.  I think I got her hooked on their shoes too!  These are the shoes that I've been eyeing.  They are loafers from Roxy.  & they are Super Cute! Bob and I went into the mall the other day and the salesperson from Journeys was waving me down.  I tried to take Bob in there to show him the shoes & he grabbed my hand and took me into Finish Line instead.  LOL, I think he was jealous of the guy in journeys.  I thought it was pretty cute he grabbed my hand to let the guy know I was taken.  SO, I don't know if I'll get Bob to go buy these shoes for me or not. 

I guess I have been going for the comfy look lately.  Its getting cold out and I like to wear comfy clothes in winter time.  I splurged on my birthday & bought myself a pair of comfy pants from Victoria Secret. Everyone needs a pair of these.  I would wear these everyday if I could, but I think my daycare parents & Bob would start to wonder about me! 
 
I Love my Scentsy Pot.  My favorite scent right now is Satin Sheets.  I love walking into my house and smelling this scent.  Its the perfect scent for Winter.

My friend Roci introduced me to a new Great Learning Toy for Kids.  They look so cool, I just have to share them with you. They are called Hot Dots. You have to purchase the Dog pen separate but, it can be used for other Hot Dots card sets.  They have great reviews.  I believe this will be my next purchase for my daycare kiddos.   They also make card sets for older kids.  My daughter is learning her states & capitols so this would be perfect for her.

A lady from my church just quit doing daycare.  I bought some pretty Awesome things from her.  One of my favorite things I bought from her is the Cranium Game Hullabaloo.
The daycare kids Love playing this game.

Haylee told Bob and I today that she is asking Santa for the complete set of Diary of Wimpy Kids books.  I think she knew that Mom and Dad had already finished their Christmas shopping for her.

  Alrighty, I'm going to enjoy a movie with my man and get into my comfy pants  Oh, & eat my favorite new snack chocolate raisinets. MMM they r so good! When Bob goes to the movie store he brings back a box of them for me.  Love that Man!!

Forever Young.....


I can't believe its been 2 years since I last talked to you, last saw your beautiful face, got to hear your contagious laugh.  Gayle said something this morning to me in church that made me smile.  She said you will always be young and we are just getting older.  She is right, you will always be beautiful and remembered as a loving, caring, fun-spirited person.  I will never forget all the great times we had together, all the good laughs, and all that you have taught me.  Love you Forever Robbin.

To hear the song, scroll to bottom of my screen to turn my music off.  Sorry, can't figure out how to turn it off!

Ready to Start Crafting!!


I am just dying to do some crafting. I have more time now on my hands, since I'm no longer taking classes. Although, my life hasn't quite slowed down much.  Haylee is in dance and Shae is in football. Between the two of them, we are always on the go.  But, I can't stand having nothing to do.  I like my life full of craziness and my calendar full.  Ok. Back to why I'm blogging.  I have found some really neat ideas from other blogs that I love to follow.  I am so excited about all these Cool craft ideas that I just have to share them with all of YOU!!  In HOPES of my sharing with YOU, that one of you would like to join me on a Crafting Day!!  Tell me what you think!!

CUTE FRAME IDEA
This is such a cool idea for a frame.  I'm thinking, this would be the perfect Christmas present for ALL the grandparents!! Grandparents Love pictures of their Grandbabies, right?!?!
  All you need is a wood block, spray paint, fabric flowers, a clothespin, and for the finial use furniture feet or a dowel rod.  You can find this craft at Shanty 2 Chic's blog!!!  

PICTURE HANGER

This is another fun picture idea from Shanty 2 Chic, is this Super Cute Picture Hanger.  This could also be a great Christmas present for family or friends!! 



MAGNET BOARD
Just a month ago, I had Bob take down our Big mirror that was attached to my dresser.  I have always hated that mirror.  It was huge and made my room look smaller with it.  Now, I might just have to have him go into our storage shed and dig out that mirror.  I think I can turn that Big, useless mirror into a cute Magnet Board to go behind Haylee's desk.  I found this really neat idea over at Remodelaholic
She used the ends of a crib and turned it into this below!!
I LOVE THIS IDEA, I showed Haylee & She loved it 2.

FALL CENTER PIECE

If you are in need of a new center piece for your dining room table, this is perfect for this time of year. I absolutely love this idea, its simple, cheap, and beautiful for your table. 

 All you will need is a glass vase, pine cones, pumpkins, some pretty flower stems, and now you have a fall center piece!!! Super easy & Super Cute. You can make this all under $10, now that is a bargain!!  I am going to have to get my butt over to Hobby Lobby to make this!!

HALLOWEEN TREAT IDEA
I love finding new fun snack ideas to do with the kiddos, especially for different holidays.  I found these adorable Halloween Eyeball Pops.  They are white chocolate covered Oreos with gummy lifesavers and a mini chocolate chip for the eye, YUMMY!!  We have tons of Popsicle sticks to use for this snack.

Hope I have inspired YOU to start Crafting!! I will share my own version of these projects after they are finished.  Anyone want to join me for a day of Crafting FUN let me know!!! 
Love, Jess
