Remember these Honey Sweet Cookies I made a while back?? Well this little man does and thought they were the best cookies in the world.  I thought it would be the perfect picture to enter into 5 Minutes 4 Mom’s contest about fun, family food.  Well, there’s more to it but you can go read [...]

I need you guys now!  It’s time to vote in the Velveeta Casserole Challenge for my Shrimp Stroganoff Casserole!  I’m holding my first giveaway over at my food blog so check it out.  And if you don’t care about winning, then just go ahead and vote for me if you think my recipe RAWKS!  All [...]

I received an email this morning from a friend of mine.  She had forwarded an email that she received and was hoping I could help.  I’d like to think that I’m this cool gal with higher powers that CAN help but I don’t know.  I’m hoping that some of you dive in and help prove [...]

I’m always focused on getting the kids and my man stuff for Christmas that I rarely get myself anything as most moms do.  And since I am one of the Eleven Moms of Walmart, I thought it would be fun to pick out my “dying to have” products.
So one of the things that I found [...]

It happens to the best of cowboys, sometimes they get bucked off, or the horse gets spooked by something and they’re not paying attention so they basically fall off.  No matter what the real story is, you’re sure to hear some big bronc ridin’ tale that may or may not be true.
My oldest son was [...]

If you haven’t heard it yet, AC/DC released their first album, Black Ice,  in 8 years and it totally rocks!  I’m a huge fan of these guys and absolutely love their old songs so when I saw this album at Wal-Mart, I just had to get it!  There’s something about black shirts and those kick [...]

The girls at the Oak St. Salon did a heck of job in my opinion! My hair dresser Kim felt so bad when she cut my hair but she shouldn’t have. See, I told her to cut it off, of course after the pressure of everyone saying cut it off;) Anyways, it [...]

One of the perks that came along with becoming one of the Eleven Moms of Wal-Mart was a makeover.  All of the other girls had theirs a while back and us new moms were able to get one as well.
If you recall, I just posted my before and after pictures and pointed out that I [...]

If my  man wants this little guy to be a cowpuncher, then I’d say he needs spend a little more time with him ’cause he’s sure taking after mom right now.  I should have recorded it with my hi-def camcorder or flip because he was talking all seriously and writing stuff down like a mad [...]

When I see people that I haven’t seen in forever, I get the same thing.  “You look the same as you did in school!” Yes, I know…I really do.  At 50, that will be great but at 32, I hate getting carded over and over again and getting asked on the phone if my mom [...]

WOOHOO!!  I was recently approached about becoming one of Wal-Mart’s Eleven Moms and immediately jumped on it.  I am a Wal-Mart shopper–always have been, always will be.  When you are living on a cowboy’s wages, Wal-Mart is a lifesaver!  We buy our groceries there, our Christmas presents there, and everything in between.
Anyways, what I love [...]

I saw this tweet tonight and it made me think of something in my past.  I don’t know if my dad remembers or not but I’ll never forget the time….
ME:  What does douch mean?
DAD: Douch?
ME: Yeah
DAD:  Spell it….
ME: d-o-u-c-h-e
DAD: After a long pause, red face, and slight grin….. “Ooooh, you mean……..Ask your mom.”
One of those [...]

I love that my boy ain’t skeered of small crawly bugs! He just grabbed up this little caterpillar and let it crawl all over him. I didn’t even want it on me and he tried to put it on me. I just pretended I need to go pee. It was quite [...]

Every since I got a coupon from Land’s End at the Blogher conference, I’ve been hooked on their quality and EXCELLENT customer service.  In fact, they even did a follow up call after my tote bag purchase to make sure I received it in a timely manner and that is was what I ordered.  AWESOME!
