30 for 30 Challenge – Day 24

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Here’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth:  it’s been raining, sleeting, and snowing all day here and the boys and I have been homebound.  So honestly, the only reason I changed out of my sweats today was to take these pictures for Kendi’s 30 for 30 Remix Challenge. 

And then, I put my sweats back on.

30 for 30 Challenge – Day 13

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Jewelry, handbags and scarves. Shoes, belts and hats. Typical categories of women’s accessories. But I think a new one should be added to the mix: nail polish.  With the wide spectrum of color on the market today, there is no reason to think of it as anything but an accessory.  Store shelves are now lined with so many fashion forward colors and company’s such as OPI are always revealing new inventive shades with the most whimsical names that just begs you to slick it on your nails to see what it looks like. 

Kendi’s 30 for 30 challenge may limit my clothes, but I can change my polish as much as I like and I find by doing so, it’s an easy way to change the look of my outfit.  Try it.  You’ll like it.

I Whan-Eht!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Whenever my 2 1/2 year old son sets his sights on something that would just make his little world go round he chirps, ‘Momma, I whan-eht!’  He says it when he sees a ball.  He says it when he sees a garbage truck.  He says it - or maybe in this particular case – screams it when his baby brother is touching any one of the hundreds of toys we own.  When my biggest boy says he ‘whans-eht,’ he will have it and he will have it now.

I’m proud to say my little apple didn’t fall far from the tree.  There is a ring his momma wants SO bad.  Every time I see it, I think ‘I whan-eht!’

Take a look at this beautiful bauble from jewelry designer Jamie Joseph.  I’ve been drooling over her designs for years and years and years.  Her work is exquisite.  I visit the on line retail store Twist at least once a week to take a peek at the ring that I ‘whan.’ 

I guess I need to start saving my mad money for it.  My husband doesn’t like to hear that I have a mad money stash.  He keeps asking me if that’s the money I’m saving just in case I ever want to leave him.  He doesn’t get it.  Every girl needs a mad money stash.  There’s just absolutely no reason to explain why $528 magically disappeared out of our checking account.  I figure what he doesn’t know doesn’t hurt him, right?

Until I get all the details worked out however, I can totally relate to my son who ‘whans-eht’ all.  Really, doesn’t every one?  It’s just funnier when he says it.
