Nearly Neutral Colors That Will Look GREAT on Everybody

Don't you get sick of wearing mostly Black, Brown, Beige, etc. I certainly do and there are plenty of colors out there that look great on every skin tone and are "almost" neutral because they go with almost every other color out there so they are also easy to accessorize.

I love all of these colors but my very favorite right now would be:

Falling Off Shoulders of Giants

I don't want this post to come off as a long lecture so I'll keep it really short.

It seems to me that we are becoming a society that is more and more enthralled with who and what is popular or sensational at the moment and less and less concerned with what has come before us and what we can do for those who come after us.

I just want to pose this question.

How can we stand on the shoulders of giants if we aren't even aware they existed in the first place.

A Great Read

I had only heard of this Grimm's fairy tale once before a long time ago

Sorry

What with moving and a new baby due any day now I haven't been blogging, or even reading all your wonderful blogs, for a while but now that I can use my DH's laptop hopefully I will find time to blog at least once a week. I'd love it if any of you would like to guest post as well, esp. since it'll take all my energy just to take basic care of my three kids for the first couple of weeks after the baby gets here.

I'm working on a new post now, let's se how long it takes me to post it.

Fashion Friday -Make your own Accessories-

Disney made this DARLING hat from a cardigan for her daughter but it could just as easily be made for you.

That's Not Playdough

Part of me wishes I'd taken a picture of this before cleaning her up but I walked into a cute little scene of my daughter making snakes with playdough only to realize that it wasn't playdough that she was using but her own poop. YUCK!!!!!!!! Big brother even piped in and said "Look Mommy, it has seeds in it."

Menu Monday - Sprucing Up Old Standbys

My kids and I love many of the simplest meals but they can seem a bit boring sometimes and so there are lots of little things I do to give them a simple twist with only a few new things thrown in. Here are a few ideas of things I've done, what are some of your favorite ways to easily turn a boring basic into something a little more exciting?

I decided that this long road trip for our move back west needed an activity book and as usual I couldn't just do it the easy way, I had to make one myself and now after all my hard work I've decided to share it with you, I'll give one personalized book away.

Friday Fashion -Refashion-

I haven't posted anything in a while but I thought I'd post some of my favorite "refashions" I've found recently. One of my favorite things about fashion is that you can always take something old and make it new again or something from blah to beautiful by just thinking outside the box and giving it a good solid Juj. (how do you spell that?)

So here are a few to inspire you to go into your closets, and everyone else's, and rev up those old pieces that you meant to get rid of but never did.
