Let Me Show You My Guns!

Devin's middle name is Raymond, after my little brother. Ray is definitely the cool one out of the two of us.  Just ask him, he'll agree.  You can also ask anyone from our highschool and they will also agree.  So it seemed fitting to name my awesome son after his awesome uncle.

When I spotted this T-shirt I thought of awesome Ray. He's always flexing something to impress the ladies. And he's always telling me some joke about his guns.

I thought of buying this shirt for Ray but then I knew he would only use it as an excuse to flex for me.  Again.  So, I cut it down from a men's size medium to a boy's extra small.

 Devin Raymond loves it!  And he uses it as an excuse to show off his guns just like his Uncle Ray.

Devin, I hope you are always to laugh and have a good time like your Uncle Ray!  You are both awesome!

I Can't Believe It...I Made A Vlog!

My daughter and I vlogged about our accents.

May I just apologize for all the times I mentioned I lived in the South?

You can make it a drinking game if you wish.

Dinosaur Hoody

Devin dislikes wearing a winter coat. It's a struggle to get him to wear it even in the coldest of weather. But the boy loves his hoody. I knew I had to make my dinosaur loving boy a dinosaur hoody! I followed the directions from Just Another Day in Paradise.

Devin now calls himself a T-Rex when he wears it.

He's the cutest little T-Rex I've ever seen!

 

Valentines Texting

I texted my 5 brothers a Valentine message.

Happy love day to all my bros!

I love you!

It makes me laugh to read their responses because it shows their different personalities.

Jason: Same to you!

Ray: Gross!

Daniel:  Silence, no response from our Dan!

Ben: Thanks you're the best sister I have! text came with a pic of a crying boy 

(I'm his only sister so it's an on going joke that I'm their favorite)

Paul:  Love you too sister. Is John turning on the extra charm today?

Yes, John did turn on some charm.  He gave me some Burberry perfume I've been wishing for.

 

Love Day

Are you a lover or a hater of Valentine's Day?

I love it!

Yes, you should show love everyday.

But I still enjoy a day dedicated to love!

The day started out with a special lunch I packed for my kids. I even packed my senior a daughter a lunch using her elementary school purple and butterfly lunch bag.

My boys had Valentines for their classes and their cousins.  I forgot to take pictures!  But we made the cards using these cute ideas.

I helped my daughter get her boyfriend's Valentines Gift together for her boyfriend.  It's one of those moments that is hard for a mom to wrap her mind around.  I have a daughter with a boyfriend!

Today I discovered a blog about love.  In fact, it's called A Blog About Love.  Fitting, no?  They had a little movie on their blog.  And of course about love!  Watch it here because it will make you smile!


Tonight I will be making my man a dinner that would make Pioneer Woman proud!  We will be making Pan-Fried Pork Chops and Restaurant-Style Smashed Potatoes with sauteed green beans and almonds.

I then hope to take a picture with my man and give him his Valentine's Gift.  It's a lovely day!

Oh yes, and there is laundry and cleaning during love day as well, of course!
 

Soap Scum, how's that for a mind numbing title?

 Soap scum makes me nuts. It's right up there with dust. It's a never ending job with little reward, I tell you! I have bought many expensive toxic chemicals trying to annihilate the scum, and again with little reward.

Jen at Life Crafts and Whatever had a solution. I have vinegar and Dawn so let's give it a try! My results: pretty good. Not the life changing event I was hoping for, but pretty good. And I'll do it again because the results were as good or better as the expensive toxic cleaners I've tried before.
