Little Changes


We went to the spring/summer consignment sale in Memphis a few weeks ago and got Henry most of his spring/summer wardrobe. I am so excited about his Easter outfit. I  spent $26 and got a Sir John smocked john-john with Willett saddle oxfords. I love knowing I can resale this for what I paid for it, while having my cute boy dressed like a little Easter Bunny again this year. This is his 4th Easter and 4th time to wear light blue and bunnies. I am sure this is our last year to wear such outfits, so we are soaking it up as much as we can. Almost all potty trained and wearing a 4T means the end is near. Sniff, sniff. I am so thankful for the ability to shop savvy. I have my sweet sister to thank for that!


We are embarking on a little journey at our house to cut out some of the processed junk and some of the sugar we eat. We are not going all crazy and cutting it all out, but making wiser choices. We are sneaking veggies in meats and breads we are sneaking in fruit so Henry will eat more of them. I made these blueberry banana muffins with honey instead of sugar and they were great. We grilled pineapple and mango with asparagus and hamburgers with ground up spinach and carrots in them this week. Branching out and trying to broaden our palettes a wee bit. It is actually pretty fun to try new things and we have discovered a mango is really gross until you get to the center of it. I feel better this week and look forward to seeing more benefits of this little change.

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
