Retro Dessert

Ahh…the retro Tupperware parfait cups.  Such fond memories.  We’re all nursing sore throats so I thought Jello would be appropriate.  I skipped adding the fruit cocktail this time.  I’m saving that for Lunch Lady Meatloaf Night.

Where da party at?

I’m flying on fumes today….on maybe 12 minutes of sleep.  I took these pics at roughly 4 am.  She’d already been up partying for about 3 hours and only slept for an hour AFTER this.  Oh and she’s just chipper as a squirrel sittin’ over there eating her Loo Loops, watching some Noggin and wondering….”Why are [...]

My Easter Dress

This crumpled mess of fabric is going to be my Easter dress.  I wasn’t going to make mine this year but changed my mind at the last minute.  It’s going to be a little swing dress.  Hopefully it’ll turn out right.

Irritable Impregnated Feline

Poor Tess…look at her.  She looks like a snake that swallowed a cat.  And she’s G-R-U-M-P-Y!  She took a swipe at me and bared her teeth when I tried to scoot her over.  Hopefully this time next week we’ll have a houseful of kitties!  My guess is six….Matt thinks she’ll have four.

Egg Hunt Dress

Here’s what I have done so far on Cali’s “casual” Easter dress…..the one she’ll wear to the Egg Hunt.  Rough cost estimate…..$2.00.  Both fabrics are actually sheets….and there’s tons of it left.  The lining is from a vintage sheet I found….I fell in love with the print.  I’m making her a matching bag for her [...]

Giddy for da Smut

Mwahahaha.  I got it.  The UNAUTHORIZED tell-all about Tommy Boy.  That man has lost his ever-lovin’ mind and I’m thrilled to be reading about it!  When I saw it on the shelf at the library, I was like, “Yessssss.”  To which the librarian replied, “Girl, you so crazy.”  Perhaps.  But not half as crazy as [...]

Homeade Kiddy Chips

I made these “chips” for Cali tonight so she’d have something for her school lunch tomorrow.  They turned out awesome and taste just like Wheat Thins!  Here’s the recipe if you’re interested:
KIDDY CHIPS
*  Use any type of cookie cutter to cut shapes from a large flour tortilla.
*  Arrange the shapes on a baking sheet, lightly [...]

…And for the Finale..

Shortly before the Whiz’s bath….I found THIS.  Apparently she tried to hide her hack-job of an art project with painter’s tape.  A fitting end to another messy day in the life of Cali.
Thank the Lord that it finally sleeps.

Child’s Foot Chart

Poor Cali has man-feet.  She can’t help it.  She came that way.  This was her very first pedicure.  I don’t think she was even a year old yet.  It’s pretty bad….she wouldn’t stay still.  Things haven’t changed much.  At any rate….she now wears a size 9 1/2 wide shoe.  Like I said…..man feet. 
Anyway….here’s the link [...]

The Vicious Circle of Mess

So I’m vacuuming today….just like I do every day at 4pm….and in the span of approximately 15 seconds, Whiz Bang chewed up an ENTIRE Sea-foam Green crayon, spitting the majority of it all over the house and swallowing the rest.  While I was attaching the hose to my vacuum cleaner, she grabbed her bucket of [...]
