Hard Water Issues?

As cute as all those munchkins are . . . . it’s time to get back to real life for a moment. This stuff is THE BEST, Finish Booster for hard water!!! My home is on well water and my dishes are always spotted. I’ve used Lemi Shine before but was never happy with the results! Just add it to the chamber next to where you put the soap – called “pre-wash”, fill it up and everything comes out crystal clear. You will NOT be disappointed.
Robert’s Bonus Pic!

This is the original pic I took behind my barn. He was loving the tractor! LOL

This is the pic – cropped & barn touched up.

Now I’ve added all the lights on the Christmas tree (very long process, lol), lights on the cart and the light in the lantern.

Andddddd here’s the money shot – snow overlay! LOL He’s just so happy, I love this pic.
This is Robert . . .

This is little Robert & he belongs to Cassi & John. Cassi is a friend and co-worker of Amie’s. They came up Sunday for a photo shoot.

As you can see – he’s a cutie patootie! I’m obsessed with his p.j.’s! Cassi got them at Target if you interested.

I’m also obsessed with jammies without feet – I asked all my moms to bring jammies with no feet, little toes are at the best. Love this kid!

I picked up this vintage suitcase over the weekend at Vintage Market Days.

Sweet boy!

This Merry Christmas sign belongs to Amie. Love it – she bought it through her friend Laura @ https://www.facebook.com/pg/signlanguagebylaura

Merry Christmas!
Crazy Story . . . and not so crazy!

So, I’m in the Springs this past weekend and I’m shopping with my daughter, her husband and his mom. We all went to “Vintage Market Days” and then did some Christmas Shopping. I saw this cutie cow picture in Kirkland’s and they only had ONE, but passed on it cause I should be buying gifts for other people! LOL . . . We left Kirkland’s and went into Sam’s Club (in the same shopping center). We’re leaving Sam’s Club and Amie says, “I have to run back into Kirkland’s”. The rest of us wait in the car. She comes out of Kirkland’s, hands me the bag and says, “here mom, Merry Christmas from Robin”!! I’m like – what????? Robin live in Texas!

Robin had texted Amie while we were in Kirkland’s. Amie texted her a couple pics and Robin responded with, “that cow picture is the one I wanted to get her!”. OK, soooo while Robin (who lives in Texas) was in South Carolina for Thanksgiving had been out shopping and saw the cow pic in a Kirkland’s in South Carolina. She didn’t want to carry it home on the plane so thought she’d buy it online and ship it to me. However, it was not available online! Sooooooooooooo what are the odds that Robin would text Amie at the exact same time that we are shopping at Kirkland’s in Colorado Springs . . . . then Amie sends her a pic of the VERY cow pic that I wanted that Robin wanted to buy me (3 weeks ago) . . . and it was the ONLY ONE left!!!

TOTAL GOD THING! HE does stuff like that for me & Robin – crazy story, but crazy cool!!! Thank you Texas Bestie!! I love him!!!! His name is Nickers!! For you know, St. Nickers! LOL Yes I’m really laughing out loud at myself! LOL
A Little Belley Time!

The kids dropped her off early last Saturday and I told her I’d make her some blueberry pancakes (her favorite), she said “this time strawberry pancakes”! So being a good grammy I went to the store and bought some frozen strawberries and whip creme. I always made these Christmas morning when my kids were growing up! She’s decided this is her new favorite!

She’s finally made friends with Henderson the Nutcracker! She was afraid of him last year – now they’re buds!

We “always” do a project when she comes over so we made some gingerbread cookies. Added a bit of orange zest and rolled them in sugar.

Waiting patiently for them to bake. LOL

Success! YUM (just love this kid!)
Oh my . . . . word!

Too cute!!! I just received a Christmas card from little Jacob! I love this pic of him! Thanks Lisa!
