Warm Fuzzies

When I was a little girl we had warm fuzzy programs at school. I remember it fondly. My sister came to my grade school one time to lead a program. I thought I was so cool because she was my teenager and at my school. I was one of the few in grade school who had a sibling in high school. Anyway, the warm fuzzies were cool, and so was my sister! They were made out of yarn (the warm fuzzy, not my sister). I loved the lesson it taught us. Now as an adult I see the lesson a lot better than I did then. On a wet, cold, gray day, I am finding the warm fuzzies around me....here goes:

Making bread with my new big rolling pin my mama gave me for Christmas is so fun on a yucky winter day. I was going to through my starter out after Christmas but Randall convinced me to keep it. He likes the cinnamon rolls!

Looking at my wooden fish on the side of my fridge while I roll out dough makes my heart so happy. My little David made me this for Christmas. It was honestly my favorite gift. I just melt when I look at it. I hope Henry makes his Juju a fish when he is 9 and she loves it as much as I do.

Discovering that putting my sweet boy in a larger sized diaper at night will prevent wet winter mornings for my Henry makes me want to run out in the rain and do a pee pee dance! Thank you Melissa Jane for telling me to try it. It works and we are all dry and happy on this cold winter morning.

I love getting into my dresser on these cold mornings for a fleece and looking at my newest Willow Tree sitting on top. My Aunt Babs gave it to me for Christmas. It looks just like Henry and me. (when I sport the long hair).


I love giving my baby boy a bath. He squeals, he splashes, he throws the animals, and he loves having his teeth brushed. On a cold, boring day a bath can heat things up for a bit... and who doesn't love a good smelling baby to snuggle with?!


The Snoozies my hubby gave me for Christmas are truly a warm fuzzy. I love a polka dot and fleece. I also love a houseshoe that can be washed. He scored big on this purchase. They are keeping my purple painted toes really warm on this cold day.


Seeing an empty passenger seat and floorboard in my car makes me so happy on a winter morning. I can get in my car and take a deep breath and know it may need to be vacummed and shampoed, but it is clutter free! I know it makes my husband happy, not that he ever rides in it, but he looks in it often.

Having the shoes paired up and in order by the back door makes me want to give my husband a big fat kiss! We end up throwing our shoes off and letting them pile up when it is cold outside. We then trip over them. Randall took advantage of the good weather over the weekend and organized his garage. His garage is between the actual garage and the house, all attached to each other. It is odd, but really handy. The only bad thing is that it becomes a catch-all for everything. Poor guy, he is always out there organizing the mess on the pretty days.
And yes, those are polka dot rain boots you see in the back right. My sister, who has no cute rain boots (see her post yesterday) gave me some for Christmas. See, I ask for the right things! hee hee

Warm Fuzzies To You!

We totally had the warm fuzzy program at my school. I forgot all about it till you mentioned it. I remember all of the PTA women coming over to our house to make those yarn creatures. Thanks for the memory reminder!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
