18 Months and A Peek At Life

I guess it has been a while since I have updated you few faithful followers on what has been going on or not going on in my little life. I feel like all I post is food these days! I am getting a little tired of food...just sayin!

My little booger bear turned 18 months last week. So exciting and so hard to believe. Our monthly photos are getting harder and harder to take, as you can tell! He is too busy to sit still and his favorite thing to say right now is, "no way!"(he says it with a big dose of of 'tude too). Fun times, I tell ya!


Henry is so rotten. He got to go to Memphis to see all his "people" last week for an overnight stay. Not only does he have a Juju who is CRAZY about him, he has a cousin who wants to take Juju's reign as queen aunt. I think Juju may have a tough fight on her hands. Hollye is our first cousin. We come from a very small family and she is an only child. She is more like a sister to us. I just think Julie never intended to have to go into battle with her over Henry. Hollye was trying to get Him to throw up a #1 in this picture so we could send it to Juju. I love these girls and love it so much that they have great fun loving my boy. What a blessing!


Henry has been busy playing outside and he could care less if it is hot or not. I do care but his wishes trump mine. He has played with his second cousin Caden two Saturdays in a row and loved it! Their Daddy's are first cousins and they live an hour from us. They cooked crawfish the past two weekends and since Randall loves a mudbug, we have been there with bells on. Caden is a year older than Henry and has all sorts of things to teach him. Henry plays so hard with him, gets so dirty, and then sleeps so good afterwards. So sweet!


The ole sweet little Maximus is outta here! I have to brag that I sold the ole piece on Craigslist in 30 minutes last week. 30 minutes after I posted the listing I had cash in hand and she had rolled on out of the drive to her new home. There were literally 2 men fighting over it and one cursed me when he realized he was not going home with it. I was floored at the interest in my OLD loaded out "rig" and so excited to see her roll on out in a flash...even if I had to endure some cursing! I successfully bought a new car and sold the old one on Craigslist in the same week. Never had I ever purchased or sold a thing on that site until now. I am a fan as I cruise in my new "rig". I will post some couponing tidbits next week....stay tuned!

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
