My very first nephew, Jordan, just finished up his very last year of high school. Sniff. I’ll never forget the day he was born. Even though he entered this world sporting the world’s most prominent cone head, I thought he was the most beautiful thing ever.
By the time he turned one, he was quoting Rod Roddy from The Price is Right. He was the sweetest baldy this side of the Washita River.
Then he turned ten.
Kidding. Now, he has blossomed into an wonderful man with amazing character, quirky sense of humor, and sought-after confidence. I tell ya, this boy’s going places.
Congratulations to my sweet nephew and pal.

I admit, I haven’t been the best at homeschooling my almost two-year-old. In fact, I had no idea that he even knew this song until he belted it out one day.
A while back, Jbird‘s sister, Jenny, passed on a DJ type musical toy to us that her kids had outgrown. One of the tunes it plays is the ABC song. It turns out that my boy has been paying a little more attention than I thought.
Good thing he’s a self-learner.

We all know that last year a man’s wardrobe wasn’t complete without a cell phone. But folks, lets face it, that is soooo 2009.
It’s 2010, ya’ll. And although it was rearing it’s trendy head last last year, this summer it’s hotter than ever. That’s right folks, I’m talking about the binky.
Only cool people do it. -
Hope you’re Mother’s Day is as entertaining as I’m betting mine will be.

Well, I understand that letting my 21-month-old son pick winners to my giveaways probably isn’t the most professional way to do it. And, sometimes it doesn’t really turn out like I intend…but this time it worked in your favor!
So, there are actually three winners instead of two. And two of the winners happen to be MEN who have kindly entered for their wives. So sweet.
Congratulations to…
Comment #20- Jason, who said…
So, what if you’re not a Mommy, but a Daddy (who appreciates his wife, who is a Mother) who would choose the gray, pink and/or yellow corsages? Would I be eligible to enter so I can surprise her?Comment #55- Michelle S.
I’d pick the grey one!and Comment #73- Jesse E.
Is this signing up? I’m lost, but that’s ok.I have to say, my favorite comment is Jesse’s. I told him via email that his comment would indeed count. I’m so happy to have such nice men reading my blog and trying to win things for their wives!
Happy weekend, everyone! And more importantly…
Happy Mother’s Day!

That was cheesy. I can’t help it, I’m feeling extra giddy today. Could it be the two cups of coffee I just downed? Possibly. Either way, my energetic corniness just might work in your favor cause…
IT’S A GIVEAWAY, BABY!!!!! A Mother’s Day giveaway, in fact. Remember those felt corsages I made for my sisters and mom for Christmas? Well, here’s a photo if you’ve forgotten…
Anywho…I’m giving away a handmade felt flower corsage to TWO lucky mothers. Why two? I have no idea. That’s just the number that popped into my head.
All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know what color/colors you would choose if you you won! The contest ends at noon on Friday. So, what do you say? Let’s get on it!
(By the way, even if you are not a mother to an actual human being you can still enter. I’m sure you’ve mothered something in your life. And as for my mom, sisters, aunts, cousins, in-laws, etc…YES! You can enter, too! Even though some of you may have a corsage that I’ve made you already. It will look a tad bit stingy if you win, but if you can live with that, I can. Kidding.)
I’m out of control. Listen to the coffee talking…

This is Maya. She has just enough hair to sport her SB Felt Flower Clip. She was the winner from a giveaway back in November.
Maya’s mom promises that even though she may not be expressing it very well, she really does love her new clip! Thanks, Maya!

I’ve officially completed Step 1 of Jbird’s “Stay-at-home Mom’s Muscle May Workout.” Haircut. Seriously.
Here’s before.
And after.
I’m sure I’ve already lost a couple of ounces, just from the haircut alone! My confidence is out of control! Man, is this gonna be some program or what?!?
Oh, and don’t mind my obnoxious husband trying to give me the classic bunny ears to ruin my pic. It must be a test to see if the confidence portion of his program is taking effect. I’m on to you, Jbird. Nothing’s gonna bring me down…

So, yesterday afternoon, Jbird came into the bedroom with a proposition. Wait, that sounded bad. Let me explain. Here’s how it went…
J: Okay, hear me out. I have an idea.
Me (rapidly swinging my head in his direction, thinking): Oh great. Is this the whole “chicken farm on the rooftop” idea again? Please, Lord, say it isn’t so…
J: Just for the month of May…
Me (with tilted head and raised eyebrows in suspense, thinking): Seriously? Another Work Month 2010? I can’t do it! I love my friends! I can’t clear my social schedge for another 31 days….don’t make me!!!!
J: So, the whole month of May…
Me (in a panic, thinking): No! It’s the hideous dentist chair conversation again. I refuse to make that a part of our furniture collection! I thought I had already made it clear that I am against watching television in a vintage dentist chair!
J: I make a workout plan for you and you have to do it for a month.
Me: Sure. I’m in.Later on in the conversation he swears to me that it has absolutely nothing to do with what my body looks like or what he wants my body to look like. He explained that he has always wanted to test his workout on someone and since I’m trying to get my “pre-baby body” back I would be the perfect candidate. Although it’s hard for me to believe him 100%, it’s a heck of a lot better than having a flock of chickens making their home on my rooftop.
Marriage. It’s a give and take type of thing, really.
