After having a great, early Christmas dinner at my parent’s this past Friday my hubby and I decided to drive around the Country Club area of our town. In the past you could count on some of the streets to have the trees lit up to look like candy canes, but this year there were plenty of houses that out did themselves! This year there’s even a company that is doing carriage rides around the Country Club area. It’s pretty neat and...

Once again today was COLD! Not as bad as last Wednesday, but cold nonetheless. So I did wear my trusty brown coat again today and underneath my outfit for Wednesday was… A long sleeve  2 in 1 sweater vest blouse by Austin Clothing Co. for Academy that I don’t really like, this is the second time I’ve worn it, but it keeps riding up, so if anyone wants to trade with me, I’ll trade my medium 2 in 1 sweater vest for your...

True fact: every time I bake cookies I end up in the hospital! Not because I’ve given my self extreme food poisoning or anything like that, it’s just one of those things. Just ask my hubby, he ate the very last batch of cookies I will ever bake while I was eating liquid “hospital food”! Since I have a big sweet tooth I instead find other things to bake/make, one of those is Oreo Balls. Yes, I know one of the ingredients is Oreo...

Weather alert!! Today was freezing! So for my feet I had two choices my Uggs or my cowboy boots by Ariat (my favorite boot maker by the way), I picked my cowboy boots since I was going to workout at lunch and it was so cold I figured I may as well have socks on my feet already. I was also hoping for some kind of precipitation but that didn’t happen! My jeans (one of the perks of my job) of course are Lee Rider’s and my sweater...

So what do you wear when it's 22 degrees outside and the windchill is 12?!? You wear your heavy coat by Preston and Yorke (petites) your very cozy handmade (not by me) scarf and of course gloves (not my favorites, but more on that later)! Even with all that on, my trek to the courthouse was torture! I've been in Texas for 15+ years and I'm still not use to this weather!-- Sent from my Palm Pre...

I've been on hiatus! Doesn't that sound better than saying "I've neglected my blog" :) I actually had kept up with the pics for WWSWW, but just didn't get around to posting them. So tomorrow I begin again! I may write a mobile post to get the pic to my blog faster, but I like to edit/crop first and a negative about my Palm Pre is that it doesn't have any kind of editing feature for photos. So a quick hello to let you know my hiatus...

I’m beginning to understand why celebrities travel with their own hairstylists! I was finally able to get my hair colored the other day and I asked my hairstylists, Jodie, why I was having such a hard time keeping a curl in my hair. She told me I needed to add layers so I told her to go for it! So of course after layering my hair she styled it and this is how my hair looked after she styled it:                ...

This morning I was feeling quite lazy and I’m bad and don’t get my clothes ready the night before. I know! I really should. I think I’m going to attempt to start doing that from now on….we’ll see. So back to my laziness. I just threw on my Lee Rider jeans and my Ralph Lauren blouse, which I usually only wear during the winter time months. The shoes are one of my favorite pairs by Steve Madden. The weather was actually quite nice...

It’s amazing how changing the way you dress even just a little can change the way people look at you. I knew today would probably be the only day I could finally wear my new outfit before the weather got too cold and wet for me to wear it. So even though it was already windy and a bit chilly I wore my new outfit (top half anyway). My  somewhat cap sleeve top is an eggplant color (the ‘it’ color for the season) courtesy...

We had a great foggy day about a week ago and there’s an area in our park that reminds me of what the meadow could possible look like in the Twilight Saga. I went out there and took some quick shots before it got really foggy. Here’s a few.  &nb...

Well thanks to Tropical Storm Rick my original outfit for today remains in the closet. I had to go with something warmer, that would keep me dry for my walk to and from the courthouse, so here you have it: A slate grey, long sleeve blouse with attached vest by Austin Clothing Co. for Academy, my Lee Rider jeans and my trusty Ariat boots my hubby bought for me at Cavenders. Pretty basic today…thanks Rick!...

Here's the basics:Ragu pizza sauce 1 jarHormel pepperoniPizza cheese at least an 8 oz bagPizza crusts we use Mama Marys from WalmartWe spread the sauce on Lil Seal's crust, but other wise he puts as much cheese as he wants and I just use the cheese and pepperoni. When we have family pizza night my hubby will add different vegetables and meats to his. We put the oven at about 400 for 3 pizzas and pull them out when the cheese has...

So here is what I wear when my 6 year old has a 102 degree fever and vomits…in my hand! :P We woke up Wednesday morning got dressed and headed to the clinic. It took an hour before we were put in a room to see a doctor. The nurse swabbed his nose (to test for flu) and swabbed his throat (to test for strep) and the result was: flu! Thankfully it’s just the regular flu and not H1N1. Now back to what I wore. Starting at the bottom...

Good morning everyone! It's a cold, wet morning here in North Texas so my original outfit for today has been left in the closest for something warmer. I'm wearing my cowgirl boots made by Ariat that my hubby bought me at Cavender's. They keep my feet nice and dry on the walk to and from the courthouse. My jeans of course are my Levi's 515's. My sweater is Apt. 9 from Kohl's and I'm wearing a shirt underneath for added warmth...

As we (ladies) all know finding a ‘girlie’ camera bag that doesn’t cost you the same amount that your (digital) camera did is nearly impossible. I actually found one that I liked, but at check-out found out they only ship with-in Canada! Argh! So I was back to square one when I found this blog posting so I thought I’d give stenciling a try. I had a camera bag that we had bought a while ago, but mainly used for our video camera...

My son came to me last week with this magazine and said 'mama can you please put this somewhere' I thought it had just fallen off the magazine rack in the bathroom while he was brushing his teeth or something. So before we left that morning I put it back and that evening when it was time for him to take a shower he saw the mag again and said 'mom! Why is that magazine there? It's freaking me out!!' so I asked him what was making...

Or for today What She Wore Wednesday. I was running late this morning so I didn’t get to post this until now because of course son’s homework, cleaning, and oh yeah a lil nap came first. So here is what I wore: the top is from notations, I bought it at McClurkans which is no longer around and I’m wearing my Levi’s 515’s and Steve Madden shoes, which I found at Ross (I ♥ that place). A side note to the shoes I’m wearing, if you...

Hello all! It's Wednesday! Finally! Seems like it took forever to get to this day for some reason or maybe it's just because I'm dreading Friday and Saturday. lol Well in honor of  yesterday being the first official day of Fall, I decided to wear this lovely ensemble. I'll start at the bottom because, well hello, start with the shoes! Or in this case boots. These are yet another great budget conscience find: Payless!! Brand...

I was hoping to read Vampire Diaries before the season premiere on the CW, but I was finishing up a book and didn’t get to it before the premiere so I watched the show first and thought it was ok. I wanted to know what was up with the crow since of course everyone i’m sure was thinking “isn’t that suppose to be a bat?” and if Elena really did have a psychic friend and if Damon really does bite someone and how they lived... My...

Well it's time for another installment of WWSWW! I can't believe it's already Wednesday! Yay! Well today was pretty basic since it's suppose to rain later this afternoon and my job involves walking. So with that in mind I decided to wear my Lee Rider jeans (always comfortable, but close to being 'mom jeans') and my boots that my hubby bought for me from Cavenders, I'll take a close-up pic of those later and finally my polo shirt...
