The Glamorous Life of a Housewife

Husby has an out of town rotation this month near where we grew up, so the three of us have been staying in our hometown a lot over the past few weeks. Levi has enjoyed ample time with (both sets) of grandparents and we have enjoyed lots of fall festivities and relaxation. My Mom has sp…

When my parents transitioned me from a baby crib to a big girl bed, they didn't mess around with any type of "transitional" bed, like a toddler or a trundle .... I went to a full out Queen size. This tiny little toddler slept like royalty in a bed fit for a Princess. Or a Q…

Well, ladies and gents, the yard sale is OVER was a rip roaring success!! We live 50 miles from where I grew up, and each year I haul all of our goodies down there for the big sale. Know why I do that? Because where we live now is the Middle Of Nowhere (we live on the outskirts of a cit…

Does anyone remember that television series, October Road? It was only on for a season or two and then it was dropped. I was pretty upset because I had finally found a show to really get into and they just snatched it from me like a bully and a nerd's lunch money. This post really …

Why hello there! Let me introduce myself. My name is Whitney, I'm 27 years old....oh wait, I guess I was only gone for a week. It felt like years, guys! I very much missed your fanciful comments and peeking in on your blog to see what's new with you. You might be wondering wh…

Sunday, we had a surprise birthday party for my sweet Grandma who turned 75! The celebration was at my parents house and it was absolutely beautiful. My grandma loves flowers, so Mom went all out with beautiful fresh flowers and her Old Country Roses dishes. So elegant! The biggest surp…

I have several thoughts flowing through my brain, none of which deserve a total post dedicated solely to them. Today I will spew them out on the world wide web for you to pilfer through. Take what you want, leave what you don't and have a happy Tuesday! * Call me old fashioned, but …

It's a busy busy day here in my bungalow, so I don't have time to blog something substantial. But there is something I would like to know... Am I the only one out there that is COMPLETELY freaked out by Yo Gabba Gabba? Weebie loves it, but I mean seriously...it's a little on …

I've seen this little questionnaire floating around many a blog here lately. I couldn't help but internally answer the questions as I read other bloggers answers, so instead of keeping my responses to myself, I thought I would tell them to you. And you can tell yours to me by blog…

Weebie was slick bald until he was around 8 months old. I'm talking cue ball bald. Not a hair to be found on his little noggin. Just sweet, soft, delicious baby skin. I loved it. I gnawed on his little head all day long. I loved how the skin wrinkled up in the back and without th…

Today I will wake up, brew some coffee and thank my Lord for the new morning. Today I will love on my baby, play with my baby, teach my baby and nurture my baby. Today I will finish the laundry from the weekend's activities. Today I will dust, vacuum and spiffy up the un-spiffied room…

I've never been much of a coffee drinker. And by that statement, I mean that I don't like coffee. I have always wanted to love it, but felt like I just didn't have it in me. Each sip was so bitter and so harsh that it made me wince and cringe. Not a pretty look for me. But…

I love throwing out compliments left and right. It's just something I've always done and it brings me joy to see people light up when you brag on them. It's just fun. I, too, love getting compliments (I mean, who doesn't?), but I have great trouble receiving them. I nev…

1.) Several of you wanted me to post the results of the questionnaire I posted on Monday, so I thought I would give you those today. A big thank you goes to ALL of you for playing - the results were fabulous with 1,042 voters in each category. I find big numbers running around on my blo…

I've just about decided that restaurants should have two seating options: Child Friendly / Not Child Friendly. I am a very easy going girl. I don't get my feathers ruffled too often and it takes a lot to get me really mad. However, if you mess with my family, the claws come out …

Hello Friends! Another Monday has arrived and I thought it would be the best day to ask some questions. I get a lot of hits on this site every day, and though not all of you always comment, I know you're out there based on my site meter. (Thanks for reading, Loves!) So, today I would…

I get in trouble for this (by Husby) all of the time, but I am completely enamored by human behavior and I often "study" people more than I probably should. It's fascinating to my little mind and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how Husby doesn't think it'…

My Sister-In-Law's brother is in the play Oklahoma! at a local outside theatre this summer. He plays the role of Jud and hooked us up with some tickets to see a performance on Friday evening. Little did I know that it was going to be an event I would never forget. We made our way to …

(Are we having fun yet?) If you know me in the least, you'll know that I am the self proclaimed "World's Biggest Festival Fan". I love festivals. Azaela, Peach, Strawberry, Route 66, Dogwood, Blues & BBQ - you name it! If there is a festival near me, you can bet you…
