70's Grocery LOVE

loving this new kit by AliceApple over at Kitschy Digitals!

i HAVE bought food just because of the packaging! (^0^)

new digi page featuring my cute jude with all this retro food love. 

jude *loves* to rub the yarn that his "babies" (aka: blankies) are tied with. . . 

calms him down EVERY TIME he is in a hot mess mood. 

it is a hoot to watch!

victory tour

love the look of the Catching Fire posters. totally "capitol" if you ask me!

oh boy, that was pretty cheesy. even for this gal.

Jude is 2

our baby Jude turned 2! 

i am a *wee* late posting but, with all that has commenced in February i am amazed i am doing it at all. . . 

let's just say that the biggest contributor to that is the sickness van has camped out here FAR too long. . .  

go back down to the river where you belong!

McQueen's #1 fan

i love this little guy. he is so full of life and *so* smart! 

he is spoiled rotten by us three ladies of the house and boy, howdy! does he know it ;)

he is obsessed with cars. OBSESSED. 

you will not catch him very often without one in his hands and if he doesn't have his cute,fat fingers gripped around one he is asking, "cars! where r u???" 

of course a "Cars" themed bday was in order. he was in heaven. we celebrated with a fun party here at our new place (^0^)

Radiator Springs. . . cutest little town in Carburetor County

Indy, Jude and Kendy. . . cake time

Happy Birthday Baby Jude!

let the terrible twos commence.

good thing your a handsome devil little man. love you.

outdated!

oh goodness! this blog is mucho gusto outdated. . . 

time to re-vamp. . . 

and RE-COMMIT to blogging.

took some time off you might say. . . 

just a little space of time, really. . . only two years!

feeling more sure of where i want this blog to go and i am definitely sure of where i want my life to go.

some things in life are *THE BEES KNEES* when they are outdated. for example: dishware. 

everyone loves a good vintage pyrex bowl, right??? 

i am so right everything else seems wrong. (name that movie!)

so the point is. . . this blog is WAY OUTDATED and i am not pleased with that.

going to take some time to re-tool and get back out here in the online world. . . {i have missed you!}

keep checking back. the kiddos and i have many adventures to share.
