New theme…yay!

New theme…yay!

I felt like changing up the look of the old blogaroo and was SO excited to see this gorgeously funky theme available for free!!  :)

Today went pretty well…I managed to unpack a few boxes of things that we brought back from the Nashville house, did a bit of cleaning, and some laundry.  Chloe enjoyed playing with her friend Sophia…we had her here for 6 hours…nice long play date :)  We are about to watch Fast Five, which I am looking forward too…I really like Vin Diesel and the Fast and Furious movies are always action packed!  We watched Super 8 last night – Abby and I liked it, but Tim and Josh didn’t care for it much.

Anyhoo, time to skidaddle and get Chloe ready for bed…I’m outtie! :)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I meant to post something earlier but forgot until just now while I was trying to fall asleep :P Resolutions and new plans for this blog are coming soon!  Just a few resolutions, so far…

1. Be more patient with my family…especially my kids.
2. Exercise weekly…Mon. – Fri. when possible.
3. Eat healthier…more veggies for sure!
4. Blog more…I want to record what happens this year…I’m not sure why I stopped blogging so many years back!  It is always fun to go back through and read about what our family was up to back then…I miss that :)

K, that’s it for now…I need to get some sleep…I’m babysitting one of Chloe’s friends tomorrow ;)

Happy Birthday Chloe!!! <3

Happy Birthday Chloe!!! <3

My sweet little Chloe is turning five years old today!! It is both a happy and a little sad…sad because I cannot believe five years have gone by already! *sigh* I am not totally surprised though…knowing that she would probably be my last baby, I tried so hard that first year to spend as much time enjoying her and each phase she went through, hoping that time would pass more slowly…of course, it did not :( Okay, happier thoughts now…lol I am about to take Josh to school (Abby is still sick with a head cold), then this morning Chloe and I are going to make her cake together and decorate it, then Tim and I are going to take her to the Frist Museum of Art so she can play in the kid area there :) She had a fun “sleepover” in Abby’s room last night…they stayed up later than they were supposed to while giggling and chatting away…it is adorable that a 14 year old and an “about to be 5 year old” can do that together ;)

Alrighty, I better skidaddle…I’ll post about new products and schtuff later :)

*New* A Little Whimsy at The Digi Chick :)

*New* A Little Whimsy at The Digi Chick :)

I added more elements and some solids to my A Little Whimsy mini-kit to turn it into a regular kit :)

I’m excited to report that we found a new home for Froop-a-Loop, our 5 month old girl kitten!! She’d been living in a cage for a few weeks due to her being in heat and us not being able to get her in at the Humane Assoc. to get her fixed :( I was at my wits end with her when Abby decided to ask her friend Amber if she would take her and WOOHOO she said YES!!! :D It is a relief to know she is in a good home, and a relief to not have to have her in the cage anymore and to scoop that litter box :P

Happy New Year…belated! lol

Happy New Year…belated! lol

February is here already…eek!  I still need to figure out what I am going to do for V’day for my hubby and kiddos!

There have been a few changes over the past two months…one being that I closed Inspiration Lane 10 days ago, which is sad but I really am enjoying NOT having to do any site owner work!  I’m still over at The Digi Chick, and I will be putting products up at Jen Yurko’s store eventually :)  For any of you who miss the IL forum, feel free to head over to Jen’s forum to hang out with us there! <3

Jen and I created a new kit as JenN {squared} called fun-a-delic and I have three new products that debuted a week ago…

Alrighty, I guess I should scoot…it’s about time to start breakfast and everyone else is still asleep :P  Yay for the weekend!! :)

Yay for Fall Break! :)

Yay for Fall Break! :)

The kiddos have started Fall Break today! They don’t go back to school until the 25th :) AND, I am so excited…our stray cat outside is finally getting spayed! She’s already had two litters of kittens and we have been hoping she wouldn’t get pregnant again before she stopped lactating. I had to drop her off at 7:30am this morning and will pick her up at 3pm. The kids and I are going to put Daisy’s (the doggy we used to own) old kennel together today so she can live in there for two weeks while she heals :)

We’re going to be having another $1 and $2 Super Saver Weekend at Inspiration Lane this weekend!! If you haven’t already signed up for the newsletter you should…I send out a freebie each week :) You can sign up on the front page of our site: http://www.inspiration-lane.com <3

I have a few new products in the store…well, new as in added within the last month ;)

Alrighty, I guess I better skidaddle and get that cage built ;)
