A Very Merry Pinterst Christmas

Today I completed my very first pinterest inspired project. I have lots of projects started and in the works that are via pinterest inspired, but today I actually finished one. Mine is not hardly as pretty as the inspiration one found posted on The Real Housewives of Bucks County Blog, but it does the trick for my front door. Thank you for the inspiration pinterest!

40 Chores in 40 Days (Day 19)

I have fallen so behind on my posting. Life just seems to be moving in super fast forward these days...Can you believe Christmas is just 24 days away!!! YIKES!!!

Anyways Here is 40 Chores in 40 Days. Day number 19 coming at you.

I have an addiction, I must confess. I am totally addicted to magazines. It doesn't matter the date or the issue. If I haven't read it before(and sometimes if I have) I will take it. I have been better about getting rid of them, but still they seem to pile up in certain little spots of my house...the kitchen counter, in the floor beside my bed, bookshelves, in a basket in the bathroom and sometimes the recycling pile. So, my magazine and book stash in the bathroom brings us to today's chore, clean out the magazine basket in bathroom. It didn't take to awful long and I did mange to part with a few to add to the recycling pile and I packed away a few books. A couple of the books made it to the donate pile mainly potty training books...thank goodness for being done with that milestone with the kidos! See you folks tomorrow....THE HALF way mark!!!!!!

Veterans Day 11-11-11

No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. Thank you. ~Author Unknown

11-11-11!!! Veterans Day! A day to celebrate and pay tribute to the men and women who bravely and selflessly take on the burden of keeping a country's freedom intact. They sacrifice so much to insure the liberties we as Americans so easily enjoy. These men and women have demonstrated bravery and selflessness beyond measure, and they have shined hope in many of the darkest times throughout this country's history. They are legends and heroes of the past, and the present.  The future will hold even more of these brave men and women who will follow in the footsteps of past American heroes to serve this beautiful country and carry the burden.  Today I just want to say thank you to all American military veterans, past and present. Thank you for being brave warriors! Your family, your friends, and the American people are proud of you and the honor, hope, and freedom you represent! We salute you and we love you!


Here is a short little video of just a few of our brave men and women both past and present. A big thank you to all the families and friends of these men and women who allowed me to use their photographs. The music featured is Mark Schultz "Letters from War".

40 Chores in 40 Days (Day #18)

Another chore bites the dust! Day 18 here folks and I get to mark another chore off the list. Today's task at hand was cleaning off my laundry table. The table was meant to be a folding table, but is more like a "pile everything here" table when there are too few hangers downstairs or I am too hurried to fold. There was a small hill on that table. okay, I lied. It was more like the Mount Garrett of laundry, but I have climbed and defeated the challenge. You can now see the table and it can now serve its intended purpose! Mark off day 18....Thank you and I shall be here tomorrow with day 19 coming at you!

Seriously I am horrible at remembering to take the pictures folks I do apologize (again)!
