Back to school

Don't you just love this? WOW.. I had this exact buffet a few years ago, but it did not look like this. I do still have the China Cabinet, that I was thinking of getting rid of.. but now.. hmmmm I am thinking a makeover will be in order for the new house and I may just try this, but in different colors.. Love it!

Well kids are back to school.. it was the second day today and guess what?????? I already had one home sick.. Macy, my youngest. Fever, throwing up.. the whole works. So needless to say, I have not got to move many things into the new house yet. So much for making plans to get that done when the kids go back to school.

Hope you all are gearing back up for school and getting those projects done.. Send me some I would love to post them.

If you are looking for neat re-do's check out some local friends of mine, Brenda of Embelish, and Stephanie of The Vintage Glitter House. You can find them both in my blog roll.. They are great and two very creative ladies, and I am lucky to know them both and live near them both.

Have a great week.. Back to my sick little one, and packing.

A day in the life of "Me"

OK, so this has not one thing to do with my post, but these two pictures were made entirely out of chewing gum! I thought they were too cool and had to share them!

So since we have been home from vacation.. these little "Darlings" show here.. have been driving me nuts! LOL.. It has been the mad rush to finish school shopping. Today we went to four different stores to find these $19.99 "cool" backpacks the girls wanted.. Each store we went to, one child did finish gettintg what they needed, but I am sooooooooo tired of school shopping. I just want it to be over and start already! :) I know, I know that sounds like the mean mom.. but I like a schedule.. I like routines.. I function and create and do better with that. I can only take lying around so long. I can only take the nick picking so long! And that has been going too I LONG!

Why did I have to keep telling my girls to "stop picking, no touching, leave that alone!" in the store.. and I thought the lady with the three year old having a melt down was having a bad day when I walked into Target! She had it easy.. you can give a three year old anything and keep them in the cart and makes things better for them..I am beginning to think it is easier to talk and reason with a three year old...

So what have I found out about myself? Well I have NO taste, according to my girls.

I do not know "fashion" or "style" and I dress "well.... like an old lady" I don't know how to pick out colors or patterns in clothing.. (I am amazed that I get dress each day let alone sew)

I am... "just trying to make them dress like I do" How dare I?

So they are getting to that age, that I remember so well.. where mom has NO clue and even the few times I get to prove them wrong.. they still will not admit it! Stubborn Girls!

So this No taste mom, who dresses like an old lady, and has no clue about color, styles or fashion, is really ready for her kids to go back to school.

So after a wonderful vacation, and a much needed on.. I am ready to get back into school and get this started already!

My two Diva's all dressed up and ready for the Selina Gomez Concert.. That was a good time.. and I let them totally pick out their own outfits! I thought they were cute, my husband about died.. All the litle girls were dressed like this, so it must be the style. They are getting to the age, where anything I make for them, is well.... "un-cool mom" "Duh"
