girls day out!

mapboy left last night to spend some time with grandma and his boy cousin! so this morning princess and i did a few things around the house and then took off for an afternoon of shopping!!

i was curious how this event would go. she LOVES clothes, but at the age of 4 (okay almost 5) i wasn't sure how long she would last. i have always bought her garage sale clothes or hand-me-downs. i hated those growing up, of course most of mine came from my cousins who were in esssence a decade ahead of me style wise. anways....most of her collection is mismatched items but she wears them proudly. we decided this year she could get a few brand new outfits for school.



so off to target we go....she must have picked out 20 different things to try on. i figured when we got to the dressing room she would get bored with trying them on. oh no....she tried each item on and twirled in front of the mirror. it was so much fun to watch my little girl be so precious. some she said she didn't like, some didn't fit, and some mommy had to say no to! we finished there and did kohls and old navy. she even enjoyed a trip through bed, bath, and beyond!



i had thought we could enjoy lunch at panera, but mcdonald's was the request. atleast they have iced coffee now - that makes the experience a little more enjoyable!

i had so much fun enjoying the day with my little girl! i look forward to many more outings just like this one! and i did learn one thing - she is just like me!!

oh yeah...if anyone out there in bloggy land is looking to get rid of some 4t girls clothes...let me know:)

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
