A few of my Faves

Do you ever have those days where you feel like you can't take a good picture to save your life? Well I feel like that has been me for a couple of weeks. I am in such a photography slump. So to get me out of that funk I thought I would put up just a couple of my favorites I have taken from over the years. The car ones I took back when I only had a small cheap point and shoot.

Haircut, Pumpkins and one Sicko!

Hey blog friends! I know I have been slacking on the blogging recently. Sorry I was on Vacation, yay for me :o) While there I finally got my hair cut, thank goodness it was getting a little blah.


When I got back Matt and I decided to carve our pumpkins. I know it sounds kinda lame and childish, but we have done it every year since we have been married. So it's become our little tradition. Every year we try to outdo the last and this year was no different. One of my bulldog friends found a different bulldog pattern than I did last year, so of course I had to do it. Matt found a Joker pattern online that he really liked.









After all of that fun one of us had to get sick of course. Poor Matt has to talk with a lot of people on a daily basis, some of who aren't always healthy. So of course he got the Flu, yeah you know the one the makes you go Oink, Oink. I am staying as far away as I can, while still trying to take care of the sicko. He is taking his Tamiflu, I made him homemade chicken noodle soup and we have already gone through the first gallon of Orange juice. Today was day one. So the rest of the time should be intersting. Here is the Ozzman trying to make Matt feel better. My two sweet boys :o)




Until next time bloggies! Hope all is well with you, don't go getting sick!

How could you not adore this face?

Up!

Okay so I know that I should have posted about this movie when I saw it, but now I am.

I LOVE this movie.

It has honestly become one of my favorite movies. It is a kid's movie, but it easily is for adults as well. It deals with some very serious issues. Issues that I personally can relate to. Young love, Infertility, lack of money, love of a dog, orphans... I could go on and on. I literally sobbed at parts in the movie. l Who knew that a movie made for children would make me cry like that. In a good way. It made me feel better about things I was dealing with.

Doug, oh, Doug. Doug is the wonderfully loyal dog, who reminds me so much of my little Ozzy. Not so bright at times, but has devoted love no matter what. My favorite line,"I hid under your porch, because I love you." Oh my word I burst into tears.

It comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 10th. I know I'll be buying it. When it comes out you must go rent it at least. It is an amazing movie.

Love at first sight

I am in love with a mixer. The Kitchen Aid 90th Anniversary mixer to be exact. While browsing Sur La Table on Friday there it was. All metal construction, candy apple red, glass bowl work of art. I love it. I want it. Oh and did I mention my birthday is right around the corner???

UGH!

So I haven't posted in a while because the power cord to my laptop decided to die suddenly. Just out of the blue no warning whatsoever. I am so bummed.

My sister is visiting and we have taken lots of fun photos of the kidlets. Hopefully my new cord will come soon and you can see them.

Until then, I'll see you around :o)

Real Chocolate

Do you like chocolate?? Of course you do!!! But are you eating REAL chocolate?? Do you even know if you are?



Well the wonderful people at Mars Chocolate have promised to always make real chocolate. You know... they make Dove chocolate, Twix bars and many more yummy chocolates.

I first heard about their promise to continue to make real chocolate through my mom. Who just happens to be a Dove Chocolatier. Yum! You see when you make chocolate you need to put some sort of butter/oil in it. Instead of using real Cocoa butter, from Cacao, many companies are starting to use things like vegetable oil to cut down costs. Yuck!!! That's why chocolate tastes so much better when you get it from Germany, Switzerland or even Mars chocolate.

To show customers what real chocolate should taste like Mars is giving away free chocolate. What was that??? FREE chocolate??? Yeah!! Every Friday through October you can register for a free candy bar! They will send you a coupon in the mail and all you have to do is go to the store. WAHOO!!! I received my first one in the mail today, I am sooo excited!

So go to RealChocolate.com and Enjoy!
