Weekend happenings....

So. I had a wonderful weekend! Saturday I woke up early and went golfing with my pal Luis. It was my first time ever!
I LOVED it! I have a new hobby I think. Yay!!! So I went looking for golf gear...I was stalking all over the web.
And then...I got to thinking about vintage golf fashion...and got totally sidetracked...
Don't these guys look dapper?

I found them here...
And then I found these pictures....I think next time I will dress like them.

I found these vintage golf shoes here...



The Hubs and I did a pub craw in the afternoon...it was a riot! Some of the groups dressed in costume...there were pirates, golfers, derby girls...and my personal favorite...The village people! So funny! It was all to benefit a golf academy here locally. They give golf workshops for free to kiddos. What fun!

Sunday was great. I love being a mom. This year I was so exited that one of my dearest friends was able to celebrate mothers day for the first time. She is one of the cutest mommies ever!
Anyway...of course there was complete spoilage mixed in with normal everyday mommie duties. I wouldn't have it any other way!
We all went to Bro and Sis-in-laws for a late brunch...we had the traditional quiche that J's grandma usually made. She went home to be with Jesus on Christmas. She would have loved that we were all together eating her food...we really miss her.

The day was finished out with my Hubs making his delicious BBQd ribs. Ribs, greek salad and seasoned fries. Yum!

It was a perfect day. I hope yours was too.

Fri the day...

I don't know what is going on with that title. I think I was trying to be clever. Not quite sure I succeeded.


Today is grocery shopping day. We usually go as a family...but doing our bulk shopping and then the dreaded "W" store has been leaving
All parties involved...cranky, yelling, crying and just plain mutinous. ( I may have just made that word up...not sure...but I may have)
Sooooo....I have been roughing the dreaded "W" in the morning with the Teeny Tiny.

Irksome things from the "W":
That place smells odd
There was an almost newborn crying in an umbrella stroller because
He couldn't feed himself his bottle. I almost picked him up and
Gave the poor guy his bottle myself.

Pretty awesome "W"moments:
I was parked with the engine running, chatting away on my cell...and a dapper older gentleman came to check and make sure
Everything was ok. Too sweet.
Running into the Grandma of one of my son's classmates from kindergarten. I haven't seen her in over two years:)
Getting out of there without completely losing it....

While I was there I picked up this mop...




I've been wanting to try it for a while. I love my Swiffer Wet Jet. But, I feel like the cleaning solution leaves my floor....sticky. I really don't want a sticky floor. Even if it is clean. With the new mop I can make my own cleaning solution...or use water. And...wash the mop pad. That makes me happy.

I'm gonna go try it out. Yay! Happy Friday!!!

I found the mop pic here....

Obsessions.....

Have you seen the new BHLDN decor line? I am kind of freaking out over it.

I want pretty much everything they have listed. Yes..everything.

Sometimes I do worry about myself. I could become a hoarder.

I would hoard all things beautiful.

On a completely different note... These are another obsession of m. ne. They work wonderfully! Even on my eight year old daughter ( who is now just as obsessed as her mother)

I saw them in stores, but I was super skeptical. Then I read this little post at The Dainty Squid and was SOLD. Check out the rest of her blog...not only is her name pretty cool...but so is her blog!

Photo cred....

True blue...

I have lots of thoughts to share...but I decided I don't want to start any fights. So instead I will talk about mascara.

Such a miracle product. A little swipe, and PERFECTION!

Lately my perfection in a tube was giving me fits. This irked me. Greatly.

Now, normally I am a very loyal person. I find a product I like and I'll stick with it till the bitter end.

Of course every now and then I venture out and try something new...is time I was super risky.

I tried a new mascara BEFORE I finished off the one I already had! Gasp! I know it's shocking.

I have been quite the fan of Covergirl masacra for pretty much my whole make up life. I've tried

The fancyschmansy stuff...but nothing worked like good ol CG. This time was no exception.

Please meet my new mascara. Thrilling...right?

One of my favorite things...

Here is one of my favorite bloggers and etsy people. Her name is Amy. She is a new mommy. Her little guy is darling!!!! She has a giveaway going on over at her blog. Check it out...she has super cute pieces.

My one sweet Daffodil

These little guys poke up every

single spring.

This is the first year that we have had a

Bloom.

It's just one....

But at least she is here!

I am hoping it is a good sign

for what this year holds...We

sure could use a "good"

year.

I've been doing some major

soul searching and goal revamping...

Stay tuned for the latest.

Tuesday Morning...

This was my coffee this morning.

So very tasty.

The mug was a Birthday gift from my

Sweet friend Amy.

She rocks.

I had a wonderful Birthday.

I got to sleep in, the Hubby made

me a delectable omelet for breakfast,

we took the kiddos to the pet store and

almost came home with every animal in there...

Luckily we escaped with only four new fish.

Then the Hubby and I went to dinner

here in town. YUM!

It's funny what makes you happy once you have kids.

Odd how a trip to the pet store can bring so much joy to two

grown ups. Seeing the sheer joy on the faces of the two older

ones, as they show the baby every little critter in there...and watching

the baby discover them. Priceless.

There is always a little unpleasantness on birthdays.

Like realizing just how much you haven't accomplished

since the last birthday...Or just since the

beginning of the year. Ugh! time for a goal evaluation,

This may require a bit of "tweaking".

Hope everyone is enjoying February.

Before you know it....it will be July!
