Pierced, Properly!

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Brandy | 6 Comments

Lauren has been discussing getting her ears pierced over the last two months. I wanted her to be sure. I wanted her to be prepared. I don’t allow the girls to get pierced with piercing guns. We have it done professionally with piercing needles that are hollow with a laser cut edge. These actually cut the flesh away for the hole. They do not…

Monday was my birthday. I had saved up Amazon Gift Cards so that I could buy a new lens for my camera, I was only short $45 so that part was covered by my mom and dad as part of Christmas! Thanks Mom and Dad! I bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR! It came Monday night and I was…

Teenagers…they’re so weird! Recently Morgan’s best friend turned 13. So now they are teenagers together. Jenny, my bestie and also Hanna’s mama took the girls to downtown Dallas for some fun photos. The girls had a blast and so did we. Below are just a few of the shots from that day. I have a ton more, but I’m only…

How was your Halloween? Are you children in sugar coma’s yet? Have your husbands ransacked the candy bags? My kids keep tricking me. They know I am easily distracted. When I am concentrating on something they ask me if they can have “…just one more piece?” I unknowingly say “yea, sure“. Totally taking advantage of their sick mama! Seriously though, they haven’t…

Morgan’s team had their first game on Thursday. The deal was that you had to win 2 out of 3 games to win! They won the first 2 and there was no need to play a 3rd! They were so pumped and happy! She is loving Volleyball and has decided to play on both the Jr. High and the Highschool…

So we’ve had 2 birthdays this month! Morgan turned 13 and Emma turned 5! Wow! One teenager and then my baby is officially a big girl now. Kind of sad and happy all at the same time.

Wordless Wednesday, Keep On Keeping On…

You know when it rains, it pours…right now it’s a freaking hurricane. One thing after another keeps going wrong, including my car breaking down yet again. This time with the children in the car with me. UGH. I had to push the Suburban quite a long way to get it out of traffic and out of towing zones.

A Hard Day of Decisions…

Tonight our family was faced with very hard decision. Morgan has two dogs, Blue and Bullet. She used to have a dog named Belle who was Blue’s mother. Both Belle and Bullet are rescues and both Blue Heelers. Well, Belle was a Blue Heeler mix and Bullet is a full Blue Heeler.

This giveaway has closed. The grand prize winner was Tabathia B. The second prize winners were Betty N and Niki Castellow. One thing all my girls love is books! Morgan could easily read a book a day if I let her read all day. She reads a lot, but I have to break her out of the house some days!…

So Much Girlier than Me…

Morgan is way more girlier than I ever was. She loves make up and is really good at it, me…not so good. She fixes her hair every day, me…maybe once a month. She likes jewelry! She likes it so much that I think she should try making her own. I think she would be pretty good at it. I found…

Morgan is a Girl!

This past year Morgan has gotten so girlie! She still loves to play sports and be outdoors with animals, now she just does it with makeup on and her hair done. Her appearance is very important to her these days. So much more than it was to me at that age. Thankfully she is good at doing her makeup. She…

Wordless Wednesday, Vintage

I love, love, love vintage cameras. I don’t even care if they work or not. I like the way the look, I like to think about the history they may have captured. Who owned it before me? I have been lucky to find some while hunting at local thrift stores. One even came with the owners manual where the person…
