Just in Time for Mom's Day or Any Day 3

Here's something fun I whipped up the other day to try my hand at the Vintage/Shabby Chic look. I Hope you enjoy!

A Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little brother, (which if you knew him, would make you laugh - he's a lot taller than I!). Now if you asked my mom, she'll tell you that having little brothers - didn't exactly thrill me when I was growing up. We had our fair share of fights and mean spirited antics to say the least. But I must say that if a girl has to have only brothers for siblings I got three of the best! They are smart, caring, generous and decent young men. They aren't afraid to hold the door for a woman, help a neighbor in need, or give a stranger a hand up. They are great role-models for my kids and for that I am truly grateful.

Today was a FUN day for me! I challenged myself to spend my morning doing my chores and then I could spend the afternoon making thank you cards. I've been wanting to try this technique for a really long time, and I LOVED the results! Unfortunately, my husband wrote a personal note in them to mail to our friends who let us borrow things for our party and I never got a chance to photograph them. I did have one extra, that I converted to a birthday card for my brother. I hope you like it.

Shopping and running errands is pure bliss when there are NO KIDS involved! I can get through the grocery store in record time and without all the sugary treats if I don't bring them. My preschooler even got to enjoy a party at the local Dairy Queen for her class today!

I am thankful to live in America - home of the free because of the brave (one of my all time favorite phrases.) I took the time to go and vote, something I couldn't do if I lived in some other country. I also took my youngest with me; who misunderstood the words let's go vote, to mean let's go boat! Which delighted the polling center attendant, because as we left she said NO, mom, we can't go home we have to go boat! Out of the mouths of babes.

Another unseasonably warm day, a little windy but a great day for the kids to have off of school! It was great for them to have a little down time after the excitement and shall I say sugar rush from Trick-or-Treating and our little shindig. While our house was still fairly clean, I took advantage of the gorgeous day with the kids. The girls got a mani/pedi from me. Oh how they loved that. Sorry boys, I know that's not your thing, but we did go for our usual walk to the park while the girls were in dance; so you got to do something fun too.

The day following the get-together, my husbands co-workers made the trek back out to our house to help us clean up and return borrowed items! Talk about wonderful friends. The weather was again gorgeous another high in the 70's day, with a bit more breeze - very uncommon for our area in November.
