Playdough Bakery!!

A few weeks ago me and my girls decided to create a "Playdough bakery". Oh my gosh, it was so much fun! We got out all the cookie cutters, rolling pins, fancy dishes and creativity! We even made a bakery sign. I love creating memories with my kids, I know that they will remember times like these forever. It's the simple things in life that create our legacy when we are gone. Simple things like playdough, cookie cutters and smiles :)

My Fun Fall weekend....

Okay...okay..i give up! I have been trying since Monday to upload a slide show from flicker...but I can't seem to figure it out!! So I will have to settle for photos. Here is a glimpse of my fall fun weekend.

Friday I took the girls to the zoo..the zoo is so pretty in the Fall.

I think I spotted the very last flower at the zoo!

Of course...we had to get our ice cream..remember my pre-confession??

Anna playing in the leaves on Saturday

Our annual pumpkin patch trip On Sunday

"You are putting this big orange thing in front of me why???"

My beautiful amazing Family!

Pumpkin Bread....YUM

Allie's first time on rides!

The kiddos on the train ride

Sunday night....carving our pumpkins

Of course...I had to make a spectacle of myself! I wish i had pictures of me pretending to cut off my finger...i had fake blood everywhere...the look on my husband's face was PRICELESS!!!

Did you know that raw pumpkin guts are poison??? LOL

Happy Fall everyone!

Time for tea.....

Last night me and Anna had the most wonderful tea party!

We even baked our own little choc chip cookies for the occasion!

Of course We had to invite some friends....


The tea was so perfect



Look at Mrs. Kitty's pleading eyes...she is really wanting a bite of cookie!


The cookies were so yummy...they were so tiny...which made them feel "Guilt free" for me!!

Mrs. Kitty did get a bite!

"Cheers Big ears" Thats what we like to say!!

What a simply lovely party that was!

Remember...."Simplicity". Create special moments and smile...in the end that's all that will matter!

Friday Confessions.....

Here are my Friday Confessions for the week:


1. I let Allie (my 18 Mon old) sleep with me twice this week.

2. I stayed up one night until 2am watching 4 episodes of prison break. I get the seasons from Net Flix

3. I have not done laundry since Tuesday!!

4. I got the kids Wendy's last night

5. When Allie is napping...i should be cleaning...although this week I was on the computer every chance i got to myself! Which means I have a ton of cleaning to do today!!

6. On Sunday I completely spaced out Michael's confirmation class at church...I am still so mad at myself for this one!

7. I had a coke (coke cola that is) That is my biggest weakness...i love pop and its just horrible! I only had one for the week though...i guess that's okay.


Things That I am proud of this week:


1. I managed to loose 4 lbs...Mostly by NOT eating past 6pm (which is SO DANG HARD)

2. When I took Anna to Ice skating lessons last night...i walked right past the coffee shop and DID NOT go in and get a rice crispy treat made with peanut butter and choc chips!!

3. I had to practice skating with Anna before her lesson and I did not fall ONCE!!

4. I only spent $80.00 for groceries yesterday....I have started calculating mentally in the store and clipping coupons. Those two things have got my bill down from 150.00 a week to 80.00!!

5. I cleaned out my car...the whole nine yards...vacume..windex...armoral wipes!!

6. I helped a girl in the Walmart parking lot who claimed she ran out of gas. She looked homeless to me...I gave her money and said a quick prayer as she walked off.

7. I went on a bargain mission and managed to buy treat bags and stuff to fill them for Anna's Halloween party at school for like 12.00!

I hope everyone had a good week....and I wish you all a wonderful weekend ahead!! Remember to count your blessings!!!

Harvest Fest

Oh how I love the Fall! This past weekend me and my husband took the kids to the local Harvest Fest. It was such a great day; watching Anna on the ponies, seeing Allie's face light up in the petting zoo, seeing Michael's face light up when he saw the kettle corn booth (so yummy)! The best part of the day was when we got ready to leave and instead crying for more, Anna looked up and said, "Thank you mommy and daddy for taking us today". **sigh** Me and my husband must be doing something right!! Days like these remind me what's important to me in life....My family and enjoying the simplicity of life!




I asked my husband, "Please honey can I get a baby goat?"

Anna looking so proud on the pony ride, with her daddy by her side!

Of course she had to go for the pink bucket!

Michael is the ultimate big brother!

Remember to count your blessings and enjoy the simple things in life!

My new Venture!

I have been so busy lately. I am going to open a new Etsy store soon. It will be called, "Crazy Daisy candles". I have to admit candle making has been tougher than I imagined! I am still trying to perfect them! I want them to smell up my whole upstairs before I open my new store! I am trying to hurry though....so that I can get out all the fall scents..(which are my favorite). I will keep you updated on my store grand opening!!
