You should try planning meals at MY house! I have an almost 13 year old who has become so picky I can't imagine how she is getting enough to eat...she is thinking of becoming vegetarian. Puts a big crimp on our meat and potatoes family! But we made it through both times her older sister did this, so we will make it through this one as well!
She was bullied pretty bad last year at school and she is very conscious of her weight now... so she has decided that NOTHING I make is what she wants to eat...I use to solve this by making her cook...now she makes bird food when she cooks! (oh...as far as her weight goes...she is a PREFECT size 6!)
Love Love LOVE your new head wear! Isn't her stuff the absolute best?!?!! Can't wait to see the rest!

I think planning meals at my house is bad enough... I don't think I could deal with picky eaters too - although V is very picky, but she has to eat what is served... but that has been our rule since forever... If she had it her way - she would eat beef Rib Eye steaks, Spaghetti (no tomatoes or mushrooms), pancakes and ice cream at every meal.
I LOVE Jenny's work... I am sooo excited to wear it on our trip!!! I wish I could afford to have her make us more! I am VERY addicted!
Just a very brief post before I head out the door for work. Just found out that Kat is not in Okinawa - she never left Guam. Apparently, as they were loading her onto the plane, she suffered a setback from the underlying medical problem. She had a significant blood loss. She can't be moved on the medevac route until she is stable, so her Dad is in contact with the higher ups to see if they can move her on an emergency flight. The hospital in Guam, while good, does not have the neurological program that she needs. Prayers please! And again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is one special young lady!
Oh no! This is awful news. She continues to be in our prayers. Please keep us updated. (((Hugs)))
Tell them no one can get up from the table without planning at least one meal for the next week
Hmmm... Now there's an idea.
I have 2 picky eaters. My girl eats almost nothing. Generally 3 bites and she is done. She still wears a kids size 10 on the bottom. Tops are a little difficult now that she is developing and I have yet to find a decent bra.
Honestly... Victoria's Secret... I know that sounds "bad" - but being (ahem) bigger on the top - I have found that (what used to be known as) their Body By Victoria bras are just the best. They are expensive - but it feels like you are wearing nothing... The straps stay in place, and they are very comfortable.
Otherwise - Gilly Hicks has good bras too... And a little bit more reasonably priced. Not sure if you have a Gilly Hicks near you? I don't like their "message" as it's very seductive (the same "type" as Hollister) but their clothes are good.
Oh T I'm sorry for the setbacks and the disappointment of course she has continued prayers I am glad you told us
D' Better plan longer time in every park you go to; you and the girls are going to be stopped every few minutes with questions about those wonderful headbands The characters are going to LOVE these you'll get some awesome pictures with their reactions
LOL - I hope we get some character love.
I just wanted to share about the new flip-flops I bought at walmart yesterday. I'm not one to buy shoes at walmart generally because of my foot problems, but these shoes intrigued me! They are by Okabashi and were only $12. They have an arch support, are waterproof, are made in the USA, and are 100% recyclable.
I checked out their website okabashi dot com and was a bit impressed with their claims. I'm wearing them now, so we will see how that goes. Might be a less expensive option than other brands. The prices on line were a bit more than what I paid at walmart, but still not expensive.
I am headed out to this website right away... I want to see what these look like... I definately like the price! THanks for the tip Tess! I would love it if you'd review them again for me after a few weeks...
This morning when I woke up I was excited to go to work! Why??? because I was hoping to have a special delivery today (or that it was already here as I was in St. Louis yesterday)
It was here
LOVE IT, looks even better in person
I have been searching back thru this PTR for the photo with the felt danglers, finally found it on page 212. I would love to have some made to go on my bags! Was wondering if you could let me know who sells them?
Thanks again D~
I can't wait to see what you have in the making for the upcoming auction
PS: hope the AC on your car is covered by insurance!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!! SO glad you got it and you love it!
Well... Liz and Beth made the danglers for the bag... Not sure if that's something they are interested in doing? I can send them a message and ask.
LOVE the big reveal...very cute.
I remember those days of trying to plan meals...UGH!
It is so much easier now that it is just the two of us (Andy is very seldom home at dinenr time). We have pizza one night, hot dogs on another, spaghetti one night and either grilled cheese or BLT sandwiches on the other. Our grocery shopping night (which is usually Thursday) we treat ourselves to Steak & Shake or Wendy's. I cook on the weekends when Mark doesn't have baseball.
Have a great holiday weekend.
I think that is the only thing I am looking forward to with the girls going off to college... Easy meals - and HELLO.... soooo much cheaper to eat out if we want to.
I have some kind of fish on Mondays, something easy and fast to make on Tuesdays, some sort of soup on Wednesday (it can be fish soup or sausage soup, Thursday is fish again and Friday is pasta of some sort, Saturday I have different things every week and Sunday is meat.
So with that list as a base it's a little bit easier to find out what exactly I want to have for dinner.
The headbands of Toystory and Monster Inc looks is lovely I can understand why you are so excited.
I hope your grocery shopping goes well
We don't eat a lot of fish in our house... We can barely make it through Lent. But I would imagine that you have wonderful fresh fish near you... However - we do eat a lot of walleye in the summer at the lake...
Thank you - I love the headbands... I know - that no matter how much I weigh - they will fit me... Same with my bags.
OK just had to check in to say LOVE LOVe LOVE those accessories! How cute! Wish I had something like them for my solo trip next week. Great conversation starters I'm sure.

Thanks!!! I am super excited about them!!! I cannot wait to wear them! I am trying to hard to resist ordering more!

So, yesterday was grocery shopping day...
We decided to take BFF's car because my air conditioning isn't working. Sometimes this is problematic, because she doesn't have nearly the room in her car as I do in my Edge - but we cram it all in there and hope for the best.
We started off at Kohls, because we both had a bit of Kohls cash to spend - and we didn't want to forget about it (yet again)... I splurged and got myself a new outfit... Nothing fancy... A cute pair of orange shorts and a tank.
Then we went to Target (not the Target with the crabby cashier)... Did all my shopping... my cart was so full that things were toppeling off the top on my way to check out... Which doesn't mean much - honestly - because I am a horrible packer.
I started off with a total of $236 and after coupons/discounts... I paid $132. So about a 40% savings. Not my best trip, but it was OK.
The grocery store was much worse - which I don't understand, because I didn't get much there, and what I did was cheap. I still need to go over my receipt and see if there was an error somewhere. But at the grocery store, my total was $86 and I paid $72. YIKES!
I came home - unloaded everything, put it all away... Then I painted my nails and headed straight back to town to get Alli (Josh worked late last night)... Victoria offered to make Dutch pancakes for dinner last night, so we had them with fresh strawberries and whipped cream... NUM!
Victoria wanted to watch Monster's Inc in the worst way - and who am I to refuse one of our favorite movies? So... She put it in and I promptly fell asleep. I barely remember walking up the stairs to bed last night.
Today... The plan is... First of all - Alli is going to help me move all the furniture out of the kitchen and dining area so I can scrub floors... She is having friends over tonight and Suzi and Mo will be here next weekend... Besides that - it needs to be done.
After that - I plan to work in my sewing room for a few hours and finish up some strggler projects.
I hope that all of you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, and those of you who have lost friends and family members in the service - or for any other reason - take comfort that we are all thinking of them and honoring them this weekend.
