Appetizer What are you proud of? I am proud to be called a Child of God Soup What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize? My husband *snicker* Salad Name something you do that is a waste of time. Sit at the computer Main Course In what year of your life did you change the most? I can't choose one, with that said, it has changed with each of my kids' births- 96, 2000, 04. 04 also contained a marriage. What a blessed year 04 was!!! Dessert Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil? Having 3 kids, I really enjoy going to the bathroom. I get some alone time, though it may not be quiet (kids banging at the door, calling from the door, cat trying to get in), it is still time alone! Otherwise, I live in the Atl metro area and there are soooo many places in N. & NE GA that are just beautiful and BEG for slow time. They beg for naps in the sun & a digital camera!

I'm loving these "memes" here lately. I'm also loving seeing more and more blogs out there! And of course, I'm LOVIN' the comments! teehee.... I love mingling! Now I'm not sure I'm doing this one right, so TT'ers, some guidance, please? - You may not be able to find their volume switches, but ignoring is a fine art! - You can hold off on illness until all the kids are better - You're the ONLY one that knows where the odd sock mate is, the pencil sharpener and the chia pet, but darned if you can find your own seam ripper or scissors. - You can break up a fight faster than than a referee on speed. - You can make oatmeal stick to more than just ribs - You can bring down a house simply by saying the word booger - Veggie-eating-coersion is another fine art - You can sing word for word, at least 14 kids' show songs, forward, backward & in your sleep (and unfortunately in the last one, you do) - You can remember exactly what each child does an...

ACHOO!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

That frugal decor I was talking about, I'm finally getting around to posting some. We found in one of the boxes, this BEAUTIFUL candle lantern. It's in awesome condition. We cleaned it up (attic dust- achoo), and decided it would go nicely in our cottage-y bedroom. I decided to nestle it between a couple of wicker baskets (which hold small photo albums) on Hubba's antique dresser.

I have been asked several questions regarding different areas of freebie hunting. Here are a few tips based on those questions. 1- I recommend you sign up with a free email service. Yahoo is a good one. You have the option of a spam folder, and that folder can be auto-deleted or manually. It even gives you the option of holding them for a certain amount of time, for your viewing and then will delete them automatically. Yahoo is also one of the few email services that does not automatically "blacklist" addresses. You will get ALOT of junk mail, as the companies you sign up for will indeed sell or give out your info. Expect a lot of nonsense in your inbox. You wouldn't want this going to your personal email, do you? Yahoo also does not count your spam folder (they call it BULK) towards your storage quota. And it also seems to have one of the largest quotas. 2- I've been asked how to track the freebies you apply for. Me, personally, I don't. I figure, I didn't pa...

I told them that I wasn't going to answer to Mom anymore. Of course they're used to me saying "I've changed my name." SO they were unphased by it (My Mum did it to me, must be a tradition). UNTIL...... I said "If you do not refer to me from now on as Princess Ha Wooka Wokka, I won't answer." And I stuck to it. Sooooo..... Kee has been saying "Moooooommmm...." And when I stare at him lips shut he says "Um prissess wa wooka okka? can I.....(insert his question here)" Do I make a horrible Mum or what? oh, I named them, too Seb is Prince Habba Lakka, Tris is Prince Pooka da Nooba, and Kee is Prince Kenooka Kee. So seb says "What's Dad's name?" I said 'Dad' He says "oh...." and walks away...... Can you imagine explaining to the gas station attendant why your 3 year old is calling you Princess Ha Wooka Wokka? I'm kinda enjoying the royal name. *giggles* Now I need to name my hubby. Boy do I need t...
