Was it great? Was it horrible and you cant say anything because the people who made it horrible read your blog? lol Tell me about your Mothers Day! Heres my story: Now the actual Mothers Day on Sunday was not fun, mainly because I wasnt feeling well at all (getting over a cold). I had to get up and make my own coffee, too. *sniff* My two-year-old did sleep in, so that was something. LOL Oh the things we consider a blessing! 😉 The day before Mothers Day I was feeling pretty good I willed myself to feel good because we were going to IKEA! Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I would drag myself there half dead, doncha know. Some people would probably say it wasnt the BEST Ikea trip it could have been since on the way there my husband hit a curb and we ended with a FLAT TIRE. I guess I…

I am SO excited about showing off my wallflowers! But first, check out this AWESOME tutorial by Made that I followed Tutorial: Wallflowers Can you believe those are made out of NAPKINS? So mine are going to pale in comparison, especially considering I have no good source of light in my living room but believe me they look good. Even my husband loves them and he cares NOTHING for decor. lol I used napkins from Ikea but only grabbed white unfortunately. I still think theyre elegant, though. 🙂 Im thinking of making some more and painting them before putting them together this time. Theyre really quick and easy to make I made about 9 of them yesterday. These are actually made with a different technique so that the petals look different than the ones in the picture above. If I can get some better photos tomorrow when there is natural…

A comedy about being a mom? Im there! And guess what? This mom is a blogger – one more reason I was excited about watching Motherhood with Uma Thurman and Minnie Driver (I love Minnie Driver!). Movie Description Motherhood is an entertaining look at a day in the life of a busy city mom who is harried, worn out, seemingly unappreciated, and with a to-do list a mile long. Weve all been there, right? But Eliza, mom of two young children, seems to have everything going against her, from the movie being filmed on their block that very day to the crazy long lines shopping and parking battles. A very few of the things on her list: She needs to throw a birthday party for her daughter, keep an eye on her toddler son (oh the park politics, so funny and TRUE!), and shes given herself the task of entering…
