School is almost out. Wednesday is the last full day of school and then the kids go Thursday long enough to pick up their final report cards and clean out their lockers. I think all the library books have been rounded up and turned in. So we are good to go! Bring on the summer!

Summer Vacation
Sunday, May 20th, 2012Leather
Saturday, May 12th, 2012I don’t know about you, but when I find a good leather purse that I love, I will do anything I can to keep it looking good and help it last. After awhile, the dye will fade and so I have learned a lot about leather dyeing just so I can keep my favorite purse looking good as new. It certainly comes in handy and saves me money, which is the best part.
My Skin
Wednesday, April 18th, 2012As a middle aged woman I am concerned with how my skin is aging, especially the skin on my face. So I am always on the look out for information about new procedures, treatments and products that may help me with my skin concerns. I really enjoyed reading the information that I found at http://www.tanda.com, which is where I found this interesting infographic that I wanted to share here with you today.

A Good Kid
Saturday, April 14th, 2012It looks like I’ll be seeing what I can find online by way of University of Alabama shirts to send to my nephew for his 17th birthday. He is so excited about attending the University of Alabama next year when he is all said and done with graduating high school in a short few months. In order to keep the excitement alive in him I thought that he would appreciate some Alabama apparel for him to sport as this year’s birthday gift.
It will be different around here when he leaves in the Fall, he is the last of boys in family that are still around. The remaining minor children in the family are all female, not that I have a problem with that mind you. It is just strange how things have shifted throughout the years from guys being the majority for so long and how it has gradually turned female.
He is a good kid, gave his mom, my kid sister, a hard time for a few years, but he has managed to pull it together, getting better grades and cut way back on his partying lifestyle that can really ruin a kid. So I’m so glad that he managed to turn it all around and will be heading out for college in less than 5 months.
Horse Back Riding Lessons and Apparel
Monday, April 9th, 2012Now that my daughter has decided to go ahead with the horse back riding lessons that her grandmother is providing her with it looks like I will need to start looking around for some good quality, but affordable equestrian apparel for her to wear during and after her lessons. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on this right now just in case my daughter changes her mind again after just a couple of lessons or so. She has been known for changing her mind in mid stream and it has been a real struggle for her grandmother and I to organize these lessons, there is a lot on the line right now and I can only pray that there will be no kinks in these well thought out plan, but kids will be kids.
