OK! I'm having a blonde moment! I totally gave the wrong website for the cute little re-usable grocery bags!! OMGOSH! I guess I had jotted down so many sites, I looked at the wrong one! So here's the actual site I got my bags from........http://www.gigglefishgifts.com/accessories.html
By the way, I got the bags in....too cute! I'm taking them on vacay, I'm sure I'll use them for everything, including toting my stuff to the beach....

Going GREEN
Well, it's bound to happen sometime I guess....I've decided to be MORE considerate of our planet. I mean, not that I haven't been, but I'm thinking there's tons more I can do to help with the "going green" time that we are currently in...so I've researched a little and found the most adorable and stylish re-usable grocery bags. The link to the site is www.reusethisbag.com and look under accessories. They have individual bags, and a set of 5.....which I ordered. The bags are equivalent to two plastic grocery sacks, are waterproof, stylish......did I mention stylish? and they can roll up and fit in your purse! PERFECT!! So we'll see how this works...I've changed out most of my light bulbs to those energy saving bulbs....I can buy them at Sam's in a large pack and save a little bit of money.......they are expensive!! And I really didn't realize how MANY bulbs we actually have in our house! WOW! So anyway, it's a start....hopefully we'll keep doing the things we're already doing and making a difference little by little.

I LOVE SUNSHINE
I love sunny days! AND it's Friday! What a great start to the weekend. We have big plans this weekend....cleaning out my dad's warehouse....oh what fun! Getting ready for a huge auction. We have so much stuff in this warehouse.......I know I have 6 truck loads of stuff.....mom and dad have tons of furniture and who knows what else down there......our auction is planned for April 26th as of now......so we have to have all items ready for sale by this MONDAY!! Not much time and I could probably round up another 5 truck loads at my house!! Too much junk, why do we accumulate so much stuff??
Well on a good note, Marty went to the doc yesterday and received great news about his head. His headaches have diminished and now they are concentrating on his diet....just what every man wants to hear. I'm actually taking him out tonight on a date. We don't have those very often, especially without kids, so I surprised him and we're going to eat at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It's supposed to be so divine.......we have to dress nice and everything....so this will be special........I'm trying to keep his stress level down, so maybe this will help some....we'll see.

Another Rainy Day...
I don't know about you all, but I'm sick and tired of this rain! How much more can we take?? I feel so sorry for the people who are dealing with the flooding in their homes, cars, and businesses. I would be totally devistated!
Well I 've decided to blog.....I'm thinking this is the way to go to keep in touch with all of my friends and family whom I never get to see anymore. I miss you all very much.
Where do I start? There are so many things to talk about....as usual, our life is crazy. Everyone going in different directions....we've just started softball with Kennedy. They had their first practice last night. And guess what, I know this will shock some of you........MARTY IS THE COACH! LOL! I had to worn him that coaching girls is a little different than coaching boys. There are multitudes of feelings at stake! I'm sure he'll get his fill of it this year....I can't wait to get it all on video! Ha Ha!
Jake is doing excellent in school this year. We are so proud of him. He's been super busy with all kinds of activities. He's even been teaching classes after school to the teachers! I don't really understand where he gets his high level of I.Q....it is for sure NOT ME! :) I just pretend I know more than he does, so I can still be a "smart" mom....isn't that crazy?
We've had some scares with Marty lately...we had to take him in to the doc to get his head examined for severe pain and headaches he's been having lately. We thought at first it was mini-strokes, but they've kind of ruled that out and think now it's high stress related. So he's on all kinds of meds and having to moniture his pain levels. Next week he'll go back and they may do a cat scan.....we're praying for good news.
I have recently joined partners with another faux painter out of Kentucky. She's one of my best friends and believe it or not, we talk everyday thru phone, email and texting. She only lives 5 minutes from my sisters house! So I get to see her everytime I visit Kim. What we've basically done is take our faux finishes and put them on stretched canvas and are selling them as art pieces for interior and exterior surroundings. Everything is handpainted, not like what you see at Hobby Lobby, which is printed then stretched.....we are doing custom designs as well, and are getting ready to sell them online and then eventually take them to market to sell and hopefully find a retailer that wants to carry them in their stores. We've just launched another line, these are for baby's rooms up thru teens. They are canvas wall hangings with dowels and everything to hang from your walls. We're putting their names on them, monogramming them you name it. They are so cute! Right now this is my favorite line....once we get our website up and running, I'll add a link on my blog to the site.
Well that's all for now.......
