tlc's Random Life

I look at pinterest a lot.  It's no secret.  But I have several blogs that I read daily.  With that said I honestly can not remember where I seen this snack.  I never even read how they did it but I was sure I could figure it out.  S'more pops This is what I did: 1st put your marshmallows on little sticks (I found mine in the veggie section @ walmart) 2nd melt chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth 3rd crush gram crackers until they are pretty fine. Then you just dip your marshmallow (I more like rolled mine) in the melted chocolate. And then roll them through the gram cracker Set them sticks up on some foil or a plate until they cool a bit (if the kids can wait that long)  and serve. I got lots of praise.  My girls (and Stephen) loved them Try it and let me know how big a hit they are. Have a great week!

It's been a couple of weeks, boy has it been nuts.  My work week back from spring break wasn't the greatest and it had me pretty stressed...crazy work, family issues that somehow always pop up, but I got this bubble wrap out of a shipment at work and played with it a bit and when I got off work found that Stephen was going to grill for us (i love this time of year) found this picture and it make me think of Stephen standing out at the grill :)  So maybe I just let the stress get to me too easily because by the time I got home there was no stress at all (a husband that takes care of dinner helps alot though)    Got to spend some time with Miss Kashly, she always wants to come out to the house ,this makes my heart happy because I remember Nanny and Mikey's house being where I always wanted to be because it was so much fun (they spoiled me as I do her) and she loves all the animals we have.  Britt lets her ride (sit on while we lead) Ladybug and she loves to "p...

 To be honest, both.  Yep that's right, what your looking at is a feed sack re-purposed into a tote bag.  If you're like me you're thinking "what?  those are trash"  But turns out they are kinda cute and people seem to really like them. ~~~ Here is how it started.  Stephanee was at a pig show with her girls and sent me a picture of some that a lady was selling...and asked me "do you think we can make these?"  My reply was "of course I think we can make these.  I have made tons of bags in the past."  Whats funny is that just a few days before she sent me the photo, while having lunch with Jody she showed me a different photo and said she thought I would like the bag.  I didn't realize at the time but that bag was also made out of empty feed sacks.   I had a few projects going that needed finishing up before I could work on this crazy idea, but this week we had collected a few feed sacks (we go through a lot of them so it wasn...

(Before we get started...the photos are random and a little all over the place.  Hope you enjoy)  My lap while driving, yo-yo stuff and camera   That is the very question Stephen and I should have been asking ourselves long before now, that's for sure.  Because the answer was...YES!!!  We have to make time before we all go completely crazy in this house.  With so much of our time spent at work (or school in the case of our girls)  As a family it seemed that we were always moody and super fussy.  So a couple of weeks before the girls spring break, I asked Stephen to plan to take off on the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday of that week so that the four of us could leave town and spend some much needed time having fun and relaxing.  I was thinking a short drive around out home state seeing a few things we haven't ever seen, but well nothing ever goes as planned.  we ended up in 3 states in 3 days.  We started out at home here in OK ...

OK so I should have posted this yesterday with it being St. Patrick's Day, but I didn't quite get to it.  Now I'm not like most of the country who go all out to celebrate this holiday even when they are not even Irish, I will honestly admit that other than the whole "gotta wear green or your gonna get pinched" part I am not even sure what the day is all about.  With that said, I am not making light of it in any way.  Its just I'm not Irish (that I know of) and have never really been taught about it.  However, a girl I have come to know while working this crazy job of mine is and is all about this holiday.  She recently had a baby (sweet baby Ella) and I had yet to get her a gift. While out shopping with Steph, we decided to make her a quilt to give her for Ella's first St. Paddy's Day.  So it started...we ended up picking out 10 different fabrics to make this little quilt and while surfing the web for just the right pattern I found just the right one. ...
