A Bit of Random and Fun...

So, let's lighten the mood after my last super emotional post, shall we?! I know this is supposed to be my "happy little craft" blog , but I also like to keep it real, as happy and blessed as my life truly is, sometimes we (meaning me here) need to be a little more transparent. I think it's all apart of my WORD this year too....another way to grow. :)


Anyhoo.....

I went to IKEA tonight with the hubby and son. Right after we went to Fuddruckers where my son got to have a free kids meal because he earned it by reading six books. Fun stuff. I had a buffalo burger and I have to say it wasn't all that great. And I have actually had buffalo burgers before and rather enjoyed them, just something wasn't quite right with this one. However, it was a fun family time.

Then we trekked over to IKEA where the boy LOVES to go just so he can go play while we browse....it's almost like a mini one hour date I tell ya!

It was funny and frustrating. What I went there for was NOT there. NO where to be found. But, the other two things I wanted to look at were, one I bought (spent a whopping $5) and the other I liked seeing in person to purchase at a later date for the Chickadee.

Then, when we arrived home, tucked the boy into bed and settled in for a little blog reading, I found this:




I cannot remember which blog it was now, but I thought it was pretty funny since I had JUST been to IKEA. Fun I say.

So, check it out! What's your IKEA name?! Go here to find out.

A good cup of Java!

I saw this and just had to do it. Well, it is about coffee! And ya know how I loooove coffee! I am a total Starbuck's kinda gal, but there is this awesome place in Austin called Bouldin Creek Coffee House. If you are ever in the area, you must check it out.

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

You're invited to the party!

Well, who doesn't love a party?! This just sounded like too much fun to pass up, so come on! Let's get this party started! The Ultimate Blog Party....woohoo!




Welcome and thanks for stopping by my little part of this awesome blog party! For those new to my blog, my name is Jaime and I am wife, mother of 1 (of course I want more, but it's all in God's hands. Currently my son is praying for twins!..). I am mostly a sahm, however, I am not sure that accurately describes us moms....are we ever really home much? Even with one, there are plenty of activities to keep me busy! I also have a little biz of handmade goods that I sell over at Etsy as well as some boutiques. I love making things by hand, especially for adorable little wee ones to wear. I started this blog mainly to post about crafty type things, however, it seems to include all sorts of things from family to the goings on in my life, and just *stuff* in general.

Some of my favorite things:

Starbucks coffee (current fav is the Cinnamon Dolce Latte..yumma!)
dark chocolate
Izzy pomegranate juice
eating strawberries and kiwi together
making fun crafty things with my son, like flubber!
PBS channel
watching my son play soccer
Jane Austen novels
vintage anything
hmmm, this list could go on.....

However, must not keep you from the blog hopping party! Thanks for visiting! Leave a comment below so I know you were here and can come visit you!
