— Here’s What I Have to Say —

Time for a new snazzy watch! That's what time it is! Someone posted this link recently and I fell in love! I added a pink one to my wish list right away! I have no idea what they are like in person and I don't even care. I just know that I want one! I...

I found this recipe from Kraft Foods. It was a huge hit and SO simple to make! 1. Dump in pineapples. 2. Dump in cherry pie filling. 3. Dump on box of cake mix. 4. Dollop with butter. 5. Bake. 6. Eat. Seriously! It was that easy. And it was so good. Here is it...

I had my doctor’s appointment today and my glucose test. The drink we had wasn’t as bad as some people have said. You have to drink the whole thing within 5 minutes and then get your blood checked within an hour of drinking it. I drank it in just over a minute. The hardest part...

I just finished this book. This is the 2nd book in the trilogy. I read the first book and liked it. I borrowed this one from someone at work. I liked this one better than the first book. It was a bit more suspenseful and a faster read than the first one. The ending really...

Last year I came across instructions to make bird seed wreaths. So I made them for a few people as Christmas gifts. They were a big hit. First, you'll need water, bird seed and gelatin. Then make the gelatin as it instructs on the packaging. Next, spray a mold with cooking spray. Then add the...

I made green cupcakes. I think I made them for St. Patrick's Day. Yeah, I know…that was MONTHS ago, but here are some pictures anyway (which aren't great since they are from my phone)! They were tasty. And green! I think I am going to do this again sometime. Maybe make all sorts of colors....

Last weekend we painted another room in the house. This time it was our office upstairs. We are calling this the “project room” because we have an office on the first floor that we are going to keep clean, so this room will be the one we leave messy. This is the way the room...

The other day I posted about one of my best friend's baby, Anne. Well, I finally got around to getting the pictures from Brooke's baby shower for Anne uploaded. (I know, I know, I am way behind, but life has been busy. Give me a break!) Brooke was so adorable pregnant! See! My friend Hillary...

Aren't these adorable!? I saw them online and I haven't stopped thinking about them since I saw them. I want to make them so badly! 🙂 HERE is a link to the recipe to make them. You have to scroll down a little bit to get to the recipe. Let me know if you try...

I have been gradually updating my birthday wish list. There's a link to it on the right column. Or you can just click HERE. I realized that my birthday is less than a month away and people might want ideas of things to get me other than baby gifts. Of course, I would be so...

Chuck sent me this link the other day and all I have been thinking about since then is gummy bears. They are giant gummy bears. And you can even get them on a stick. They are so cute. And look so delicious! I think they would make a great gift! All I can say is...

Last weekend we painted a couple rooms in our house. One, of course, was the baby's room. I'll get to that one in a second. First, we painted the downstairs study. This is going to be an office on the first floor of the house. I think we are both excited to have an office...

One of my best friends and her husband had their first baby in the end of July. Her name is Anne and she is adorable. I was lucky enough to get to go see her the day after she was born. She was only 5 pounds, 5 ounces when she was born. She was so...

Chuck got to feel more kicks today! I love that he can feel her moving around in there!

I finished this book recently. I wanted to read it because I did watch some of the Hills. But I didn't expect too much. And it was good I didn't. It wasn't that great. It was a little like the show, but mostly a bunch of girly mumbo jumbo. I'm not sure I expected anything...

A few weeks ago, Chuck and I finally made a decision on a new car. It's a long story, but we were down to one car and needed to make a decision after having one car for a little over a month. We decided on the Nissan Murano. I love it! It's a great size,...

Today we painted the baby’s room. We painted it a green color that was in the bedding that we want. Chuck’s mom and my mom came over to help paint. It was so fun to see it finally have some color. I hope she likes green! I wanted to do green walls because I wanted...

We were watching tv one night and saw a commercial for Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese. Chuck thought it looked fabulous. So I found some and made it one night. First, boil water and cook the macaroni. Drain the macaroni and melt some butter in the same pan. Then mix in the seasoning/flour mix. You...

I decided I wanted some new boots. So I have been hunting online for the cheapest deal I can get for cute shoes. Of course, Target came to my rescue yet again. I ordered these: Aren't they cute?! Here's the kicker…they are kids shoes! So they are even cheaper. And if I bought them online,...

We had our ultrasound Wednesday and found out that Baby Hays is a girl! We are so excited and spent the evening looking at paint colors and bedding. I have come to the decision that I am not quite sure what I want! 🙂 Any suggestions for little girl's rooms? 🙂 Everyone thinks I need...
