I know school has either just started or will be starting in the next week for most. But I am already starting to think about the holidays. I'm not sure if it's because we are going to be spending time in Disney World in December so my holiday time is going to be crunched or because I cannot wait to start getting my arts and crafts together. Last year I saw a bunch of craft ideas on Pinterest that I wanted to try out. But many of them needed clear glass ornaments. Try finding clear glass ...
9 Things Every Girl Needs Just In Case. PERIOD.
Think back to when you were a little girl. I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade when "the talk" happened. The boys were sent to the gym and the girls were sent to the cafeteria. The boys spent the afternoon in the gym playing basketball. We spent the afternoon learning about puberty, more specifically periods.

Peyton was surprised the horses had to work! Farmer Bob let the kids pet Duke and told them all about Duke's responsibilities ...

With the holidays coming up fast I am always on the lookout for gift ideas. A chess set is classy, classic and timeless for a gift. A glass chess set is unique.

Start the Day with a Tasty Treat
Mornings at my house start early. Mostly because Sebastian is ready to start the day at the first ray of sunlight. He likes to start each morning with a somewhat not so gentle tug of my hair. It's his special way of saying - Mom, it's time to get up! I need a treat!Together, Sebastian and I set out for the kitchen to start our morning together. I start the coffee pot and he cries for a treat. Meow Mix has come out with a new type of treat, Meow Mix Brushing Bites. And they come in chicken! ...
