Fall Festival Crafty-ness!

Hey everyone! If you happen to live in the North Dallas area, I will be at the Ethridge Elementary Fall Festival this Saturday from 10 - 3. It will be a fun day out with the kiddos and you might get some of your holiday shopping done at the same time! If you are there, be sure to say hi!

**As always, if you would like to order any items from me, please just shoot me an email. I can custom make shirts, blankets, burp cloths, toys/games, etc!**

Thanksgiving Day @ 1+1+1=1

For those of you with little kiddos at home, I am sure you have heard of the blog 1+1+1=1. If not, you HAVE to check it out! It is awesome and I love doing all the activities with John John. Be sure to go by there to get your Thanksgiving Day Pack so you have time to do it before Thanksgiving. I saved mine tonight and you bet your sweet bottom I will be a laminating fool this week once I start printing the activities out. :)

Menu Board - Printable!

I'm back! Best Buy surprised me by fixing my computer in just a few days rather than a couple weeks. Awesome!

I have seens lots of menu boards around and I love them! Unfortunately, I don't really have wall space for a big board. We have been writing down our weekly meals on Sunday so we could make sure we had everything planned out and food bought ahead of time. I always feel bad because it is wasting paper each week. So, I whipped this bad boy up tonight.



{yes, I even plan lunch because I feel like then I won't be tempted to give John the same thing every day and I won't skip lunch and just eat cookies all day long!} I am going to laminate it (with my $5 garage sale laminator!!!) and then use an overhead marker to write on it each week. I am also going to put magnets on the back of it so I can easily put it on the fridge. (love recycling those advertising magnets!) I love that is small enough to fit on the fridge and not take up extra space on the walls.

I didn't make a space for Saturday and Sunday because we are almost always busy on the weekends going out to visit family or friends so I am not picky about planning those meals. Plus, we only really needed to plan the weekday meals to alleviate the arguments of 'what's for dinner' when Brad got home and we needed dinner ready in the next 30 minutes because we are still in the phase of revolving everything around a nursing baby! :)

Feel free to grab a copy and use it at your house! Or, it would be a cute stocking stuffer for those dorky organized people (like me!)...just add some markers and maybe even attach the markers to the menu board with ribbon!

M.I.A.

Well, guys, I have some bad news. At least, it is bad news to someone who is addicted to blogging such as myself. I have to send my computer off to be fixed. They say it will take two weeks to fix which we all know is code for two months. So I will be sans-computer for a little while. I can check stuff online with my hubby's ipod, but typing and posting will be basically not happening for a little while. Since I know you guys are usually on the edge of your seat waiting for a post from good ol' lil Mop Top (haha! yeah right!), you will have to just take a deep breath and hold back the tears.

Or you might be jumping up and down at the thought of not seeing me post for a while! And if you are one of those people...ummm...why are you reading my blog then? hmmm?

Just so you don't think I am gone forever, I am trying to get some super cool people to guest post while I am gone. (those people might just be my sisters who I can trust to take over my blog!!) And maybe my sweet mom will let me use her computer in exchange for a visit from her favorite grandsons. :)

See you soon and maybe this is all a blessing in disguise. I mean, I might have time to clean the house now! :)
