Okay, so I’ve been mia again… but for a really good reason… I have found my latest love…  PINTEREST!  It’s SUCH an easy way to keep tabs on all the things I find that peak my interest…  it’s like bookmarking with pictures!  Of course I spend way too much time browsing than actually making/doing any of the things I pin, but hey, a gals gotta start somewhere! :)

My son absolutely loves hash browns (he’s a total carb addict like his mama…), so I thought this would be something good to try one morning…

From A Southern Fairy Tale, this sounds totally delish… SO not on my diet, but oh well…  :)

Monkey Munch

Okay… had to add one more thing… (although going through her site, I may as well just put it all here… I’m in heaven I tell you… HEAVEN…)

Yeah, so maybe it’s not so new, but hey, it’s new to me!

 

 

Will I ever do/make any of these?  Maybe not… but I can still crush on them…

 

St. Patrick’s Day Cake Pops

Just one of the things from Love From the Oven that I’m drooling over…

St. Patrick’s Day Brownies

St. Patrick’s Day Ice Cream Jello

Just found this blog and I am in LOVE!!!!!  If I didn’t read it for myself, I’d swear she was actually a Hawaii-transplant…  she makes everything that I love and grew up with!

 

St. Patrick’s Day Whoopie Pies

Not a big Lucky Charms fan, but I’d totally make this minus the singing leprechaun…

Swimming anyone??

Munchkin #2 is actually having a birthday party this year!  She’s always wanted an outdoor birthday party…  her birthday is December 20th… yeah, you do the math…

The past two years we’ve said that we’d put it off and have a half-birthday in the summer, but when summer rolled around, she wasn’t really all that enthusiastic about having it.  Before you get all up in my grill, we DID actually have a family celebration for her… I’m just talking about a party with her school friends.

So this year we’re having a swim party in Dec… yup, you heard me right.  A swim party.  Thankfully it’s an indoor swim center, complete with slides, a lazy river, and a water-filled jungle gym.  :)

So her theme?  Owls.  Yeah, don’t ask me how owls and swimming fit in together, but we’re going with it anyway. :)   I’ll let you know how it all turns out. :)

A couple of things I worked out so far (I know, I know… the party’s on Monday!)…

~The favors are going to be dollar store travel mugs filled with a packet of hot cocoa and marshmallows.   I also found a site where you can print your own 2011 Owl Calendar, so I’ll be adding those into the mix as well.

Owl Lover 2011 Calendar

~The invitations and some of the decorations is coming from Amy over at Living Locurto… I fell in love with this set from her shop… I am SO doing these Owl Smores!!!!

~I’m hoping to have some other things up my sleeve, but we’ll see if I ever get around to any of them…

Procrastinate?  Who, me???

So I’m making a little “I’m thankful” jar for our teacher to present to her during our Stone Soup/Thanksgiving luncheon next Friday and I started looking around for more ideas for later on when we have teacher appreciation week.  I stumbled upon this really cute idea from Skip To My Lou

And I just so happen to have an extra pill box too!!!  I am SO doing this one!

All wrapped up!

Popcorn Turkey!!!

OMG, how cute is this??????

 

Thanksgiving Turkey from One Charming Party

I am SO doing this one for our classroom feast… not only is it totally sweet, but it’s easy too (right up my alley!!).

 

Check out the instructions over at One Charming Party!!

Damn you, Costco!

WHY is it that I just can’t get out of Costco with anything less than $200 worth of “stuff”???

I had an hour! That’s it! Not enough time to peruse the isles… just enough time to get in, kill my list, pay and get out… NOT! What I calculated to be a $175-$200 hit and run ended up turning into a $430 shopping spree… YIPES!!

The sad part? I didn’t even buy anything for me!

Yeah, yeah…  my pantry and freezer are both fully  stocked, and now I have no excuse to hit the drive thru’s (although, knowing me, I’ll find the excuse anyway), but still…

And now I have to actually sit down and menu plan so I don’t end up throwing stuff away due to freezer burn…

Where’s my buck-fifty hot dog???
