So, I've been playing....

My lovely sister and I have decided to open an Etsy store. I am so thrilled about this, yet VERY scared. My sister is amazingly talented. She sews and crafts with ease. Me...well, not-so-much. I'm pretty sure that when God was giving out the creativity gene I was in the bathroom. However, I promised her I would try to come up with some things to add to this new store. Here is my first...It's not good. I was just practicing. I just got a new-to-me sewing machine and have every intention of learning to use it, but until then...I had to hand sew. Ugh!!! At least this gives you some kind of idea of what will be in our Etsy store...only it will look 100times better than this:

I'll be keeping you all posted. Have a lovely Friday,

It's more than time....

So, I've decided that it is time to lose some weight. In April I had my gallbladder removed and since then I have gained 20lbs. Ugh! I was down to a size that I never would have dreamed being in again. And now, the weight is creeping back on. So, today I took action. I'm so excited to say that I broke down and exercised!!! WOOHOO! I only walked a mile in 20mins, but still that's gotta count for something...right?? Anyhow, I have decided to make Monday my weigh in days and will keep you all posted. In the meantime, I'm trying to find some great recipes that I will be sharing with you before long. Have a recipe you think I should try? Feel free to send me an email bomanpartyof5@live.com!
Feeling a little lighter already,

I Love Candy...

I heard this song on KLOVE the other day and thought it was just too cute. I hope you enjoy it as well.

A "hop" in my step....

I love blog hops! They have helped me reach lots of followers that I wouldn't have found otherwise. So pop on over to Inspiring you to Save and link up to:

Tuesday Tip..{Stop Fading}

Autumn is upon us and it's time to break out those fabulous jeans. Today's tip is how to keep those bad boys ( or would they be girls??) from fading..
To keep dark denim pristine, wash your jeans as infrequently as possible. When you do, turn them inside out and clean in cold water on the gentle cycle, then air-dry.
Hope you find this tip helpful!

Warm and Cozy Wishes,
