love these two. annie was just eating a ham sandwich and shouted "MY TOOTH FELL OUT!!!" 🙂
They’re one good couple! LOL! Your dorks are adorable. And it’s funny that she shouted that her tooth fell out. Hahaha! Love your pictures,I miss my doggilie it’s my dog’s name.Since I work in the city I need to left him in my mother’s house.Miss my doggilie so much. Ok, I am in love with your dog. Yes, I have a wonderful dog of my own… but there is just something about Waffle that makes me want to let him lick my face, something I never let Spooky do! =) LOVE her brown eyes! DREAMY! Cutest dorks ever! 🙂 Something about Annie reminds me of Ramona Quimby. Remember that Beverly Cleary book? She just seems like she has a lot of spunk 🙂 FYI, “dork” means whale penis. I still use that world everyday– and I’m not a marine biologist. Just useless information that is taking up way too much room in my brains. 🙂 She is really starting to look like Talby 🙂 awww… they are like my labradoodle and daughter together 😉 So cute, sweet, playful and funny… a perfect pair! i {heart} waffle. he has such personality. Tell the Tooth Fairy to stop here if she’s giving out $1,000. And my dogs are looking at this blog post, so jealous of Waffle right now. They can’t understand how he gets candy corns and they don’t. Love the pictures of two very adorable dorks! awww what cute dorks! i’m glad to see someone else uses the word “dork” as a term of endearment too. they are both super cute. what a cute pic a girl who loves her dog! She does dream big! Yay Annie! i love seeing your globes in the background. i have 7 now! Is it weird that I LOVE Waffle? just saying Wandering if her pants are from Naartije? You need to check out their girl stuff, it’s dreamy. Oak Park in KC has a store. Great pics. You don’t want to hear this, I know. But…..Annie is looking older. Something about her face is changing. So adorable! Wow, my kid is 24 and for that kind of loot, I’m afraid he’d get a pliers and start yanking. 🙂 Seriously. The cuteness! Btw, do you have instagram?? they are so cute! i need to show our doodle Maverick, these pictures. seriously, these two might be siblings! 🙂 I’ll definitely be pulling some teeth for $1000. Once my daughter lost 2 teeth at the same time and I told {I mean asked} the “toothfairy” to leave $5.00. “She” left $ 5.00 per tooth !!! Yikes. p.s. we have a new mini goldendoodle.. you should check him out 🙂 Crossing my fingers for Annie 😉 My uncle once left money under my cousin’s pillow in a sleepy moment. My cousin ran downstairs yelling the next morning, “The tooth fairy left me 20 bucks!” oops. What wonderful dorks you have! cutest dorks ever! ah, I just posted pictures of my dog too. Soo cute! Love these pictures! i ran to walmart this morning at 6:30 for cash for my kids to take to the book fair. but also made me wish i was a morning person that could get all her grocery shopping done at 6:30 because it was so awesomely quiet in there.
and he can spin a basketball on his finger for a long time. and he's cute. 🙂
i heard the song "Then" by Brad Paisley in the car today and thought
(we had no dance….17 years ago…btw) …………………………………………. ok…NOW for the important issue of the day.
The only thing better than getting to know so many wonderful people through my blog would be to have you over to my house and sit at my island with coffee – or maybe cheesecake! So… you're invited! The next craft weekend is at my house! :) i want to share my home with YOU. It will be just like a giant sleepover weekend of crafty, girly awesomeness.
YOU NEED TO GET ON THE WAITING LIST. we are going to email those on the waiting list & fill the spots that way. whatevercraftweekend@yahoo.com if you have left a comment on a post in the past saying you want to be and i want YOU on the list. all craft weekend info is on the CW blog. do you have any questions?
“Then” was my wedding dance song and it was AWESOME! I would so love to do this! I love seeing the photos. But instead …..I am going to Blue Lily in SD because of your awesome posts. I am spending all of my money there! Because of you! And I am on like cloud 10! Whoot. Thanks for the recommendation. Have fun at craft weekend. I will catch you in 2013! Yes, actually, I do have a question but I ask it with some trepidation. Because it isn’t about the craft weekend. And when I’ve asked you things in the past I’ve gotten some tough love. Er…so, here goes, how do you make all of great buttons and headers with the dot backgrounds and frames (on the craft weekend site). I have a client that wants me to make her Christmas card and I can do the grids for pictures but plain white background is b.o.r.i.n.g. And I don’t think I can draw stripes or dots that would look pro-fessional. ON. THE. LIST. confirmed with your favorite sidekick. who has the exact same name as my favorite sidekick. CANNOT WAIT!!! Meg,love you and your blog. I feel like we’re friends, although I’ve never met you. I would love to be your BFF and come over for craft weekend. I’ve never been to Kansas, live in Florida. Love Brad Paisley. Love your home. You seem real, I love that. LOVE that you talk about the Lord. Love Waffle, would like to steal him. Your blog makes me smile every day! Let me number my thoughts: One day i will come all the way from Australia for one of your craft weekends 🙂 I love Walmart in the early morning…I cried when I watched the video, such a beautiful song…my kids are all older than yours and I’m now the shortest one in the family, you may be too in yours one day and it’s not a bad thing…I’m going to throw my name in the hat for craft weekend because I love cheesecake 🙂 I’m on the list…woohoo! I love that song too. Wish I could craft with you but I live in WA. bummer. Go Kansas Jayhawks!!!!! Wish i could go! Thanks for your blog, love reading it! 🙂 woudl love to go but of course I live in Ireland …. maybe someday, thanks for the inspiration through your blog xx Enough! First you make me cry with that beautiful, touching song that reminds me of my husband and I and THEN you announce a craft weekend at your house which is on the other side of the world. I might need to go and eat a whole cheesecake now. Meredy xo everytime you post a pic of that guy he looks more and more grown up! This is awesome news!! I would love to come. But I was curious what airport I would fly into ? Want to check out airfare before I put my name on the list. Need to see if I can save my pennies up. I had the same thought about Walmart when I stopped by quickly yesterday morning just before 8 after dropping off my kindergartener. Super quiet – weird! Ooh I wish I could come! I bet your home is full of rainbow awesomeness and smiles! I know you’ll take lots of cool pics. And, maybe someday when Ellen is older, I’ll be there 🙂 I *love* what Penny wrote. She is exactly right. The years of a loving marriage are so much more important than the one day you said “i do”. (that song is wonderful, btw) I can not listen to that song. I do the ugly cry when I hear it. it is beautiful. all this talk about Brad Paisley and I forget to mention that I live down the street from his light guy. It is so funny to see the big Brad Paisley semi coming through our little town! You need to grab your husband after dinner and play that song and dance in the kitchen. My parents dance in the kitchen, on the deck, etc. They have been married for 46 years. Two things: Hi Meg! You are so much fun that I would jump on a plane and totally come for craft weekend anytime, but i am not crafty at all though :(. I can cook though and could go run with you and the other gals:) You two can dance to this on your 20th anniversary party. Perfect. Love your very real blog. I have to know…does Craig like country music? I LOVE it, but my fiancee still isn’t a fan. How can I help him into the light? I hit walmart early on saturday mornings… I treat myself with a mocha frap from Rockin’ Joe Espresso, our locally owned coffee shop and go before the crowd is there! I do have to share the aisles with the stockers, but that’s way better than fighting the crowd… Really? What a great song to wake up to!!! Our first song was “When God made you!” Goes a little like this – “I wonder what God was thinking when he made you?…….(then later in the song it goes) he musta been thinking of me!!! It was perfect!! Wish I was closer for craft weekend!! Have fun with that!! Okay, so could you let us know which weekends would be available in 2012? I have a very busy 2012 but could plan around the tentative dates maybe…. What if we get on the list but can’t attend the weekend we are chosen for? Meg, oh my goodness that song! thanks for making me cry this morning before my first cup of coffee meg 🙂 thanks for sharing! man do I wish I lived close!! hello. left an email indicating i would love to come, but on the blog, it would not allow me to click over when i clicked on craftweekend and the button….left that in my email – when is it? also forgot to leave my name on the email – oops. I love popping over to read about you, it’s honestly a highlight in my week, although I’m aware I’m a very quiet visitor! When are you going to come to Australia and do some family photos? Or host a craft weekend? Or just talk to your fans here? We are waiting Meg 🙂 I’m with Melissa! Craft weekend counselors… kee hee. I love that song by Brad. My husband and danced to it at our wedding two years ago 🙂 I am one of those people who gets up super early to get the grocery shopping done. It’s awesome. 🙂 i just sent an email. ack. Can I come as a craft weekend counselor? 🙂 no first dance?…what a bummer! Back in 97 we tied the knot and had our first dance to tim and faith’s it’s your love….still remember that. Wish I could come over in my p.j.’s and eat cheesecake, and be crafty with lot’s of funny ladies. hmm…but that’s a long way from vancouver island british columbia (home) I might consider pretending to be a crafter, just to see your beautiful house. But I’m an honest person, so I can’t. Hmmm how long of drive is it from california to kansas? 🙂 He is cute…some days I think teenage boys will be awesome to have in this house. Then I think…wait they are cute boys…teenage girls at my house to see my cute teenage boys. Maybe not so awesome. Woo hoo! I believe I’m on the list too since I got an email from Kimberlee. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. And yeah, I hear you about not being a morning person. It does sound so delightful though. I will never be able to conquer Black Friday. awesome! I emailed a long time ago and got a reply from Kimberlee saying I was on the waiting list so I assume I am good for a chance? i was inspired by alisa burke's happy pumpkins.
talby made a pattern of colored rows. i made one that was rainbow striped…..naturally. i LOVED making these. i couldn't stop working on them. it was such a fun surface to paint on! annie has had orange paint in her hair for four days. this project cheered me up so much. carving is out! painting is in! ha ha ha. i made a little VLOG about my two weeks into Jenny Craig. you can come watch and enter to win a $100 visa gift card. winner of the Pleated Poppy gift card…. I know that family – so cute!!!! And I love everything at Pleated Poppy!!! Posted by: amanda | October 15, 2011 at 07:07 PM email me amanda…
Those are so fun … they look awesome all grouped together! Love the pumpkins! We did the same thing at our house, but with mini-pumpkins for a centerpiece:) They do make me happy…what’s not to love about a painted pumpkin with glitter?!? I do like that you used the big pumpkins though. Hmmm…maybe next year we’ll do both! Oh GOODNESS! Those pumpkins are so cute! I can’t take it. 🙂 We don’t really “do” Halloween in Australia, but after seeing these I think that needs to change. I’m sure these have already made their way to Pinterest…if not, I’ll pop them up and make sure everyone gets to enjoy your non-scary, rainbow Halloween. Meredy xo Just adore these shots! I feel all Halloweeny now! Cheers. I was tempted to steal someone’s rainbow umbrella today. I’m blaming your influence! These are adorable! What a great idea 🙂 Happiest pumpkins ever! oh a polka dot AND a rainbow pumpkin?? Le Sigh…. beautiful-ness. Your vlog is GREAT and your hair was awesome xx We have our kids paint pumpkins each year at our family bonfire and they LOVE it. We were planning to carve our pumpkins this year, but someone smashed them. We have a few more that we’ve hidden in our back porch and inside to save them from vandals. beautiful!!! The colors are so bright and lively, a great change from the dark of fall! it’s like halloween meets easter with those painted pumpkins. very cute! Love the pumpkins! I’m all about the no carving….what a mess! Plus you get to enjoy your pumpkins longer. Congrats on the weight loss. You are doing it, just think in 4 weeks its will be 8 lbs and then 16! Woohoo! What a cute project! Loved it! We have three under age five – painting is going to be a LOT easier. What kind of paint did you use? (I’m not terribly crafty – sorry for the stupid question) They look so fun! I like the polka dots the most though…great color! What happy pumpkins! I agree, the rainbow striped one is my favorite, too. Thank you so much for linking to my paper plate skeleton. My kids were so excited to pull ours out this year. 🙂 Those are awesome – so many paints in my basement I must try this 🙂 Love! We are SO going to do this! I have to tell you that I am a fellow rainbow lover, so I will also be making a rainbow pumpkin…and possibly a polka dot one because I’m a fan of those as well. Great idea! I love being inspired by all these great ideas we all find on the web – viva la craftiness! We have painted out pumpkins too.. something about all the pumpkin mess is just eeewww. especially because I always end up having to clean it all up :I Ok, now I totally want to do this. So fun and unexpected! Love these. Now to convince my boys we do not need to carve anymore Star Wars scenes into pumpkins. These look wonderful all bunched together! We paint our pumpkins to because 1. Pumpkin guts=gross and 2. They last longer not carved. I love the bright colors you used. So fun and happy! Awesome idea. These pumpkins are fabulous! I’d love to paint one or two of them – so cheery and eye-catching… You continue to inspire. My kids and I are *so* doing this after school tomorrow. 🙂 I thought the package for the paint brushes said “Paintin’ Brushes” and I thought “that’s SO Walmart.” But it doesn’t say that. I definitely spend too much time thinking about or being at Walmart. We Australians are only SLOWLY (and far too slowly in my humble opinion) embracing Halloween. The costumes seems to have caught on, our street Trick or Treats but pumpkins haven’t happened here yet. Probably because it is Spring and we are too busy thinking about swimming? Love the rainbow pumpkin!! Love these! Have been noticing people in my neighborhood putting pumpkins out on their porches again. So far no teenagers have stolen/smashed them in the street. Might have to take a chance and join in… I absolutely luurrrrrrve these pumpkins. The Missoni pumpkin is my favorite by far and I can only imagine how hard it was to paint!!! I just finished a pair of Missoni style shoes for my 14 yo daughter and they took twice as long as any other shoes I’ve done. (I should post pictures on my blog – they turned out really cute.) Love your blog Meg, you’re always my “last” read because I save the best for last! An Okie Reader… OH MY GOODNESS!!!! THE happiest pumpkins EVER!!! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!!! gathering my paints RIGHT.THIS.VERY.MINUTE!! We are doing this! It looks like so much fun — thank you 🙂 those look great! what an alternative to the typical halloween look. Love the pumpkins. I haven’t even started decorating our front porch. So sad and guilt ridden since Halloween IS my son’s birthday! Now I know what to do. Do you mind if I use your inspiration and make my own painted happy pumpkins? SO cute and happy! I love it!!! I may have to go invest in a few pumpkins, brushes, and paint myself. I mean paint, myself. I’m not going to paint myself. Though, that might be a good Halloween costume idea. Not! 😉 Wowzers! And I thought I was in love with the polka dot painted pumpkins on Pinterest. These blow those out of the water! They make me smile instantly. Thanks for sharing. LOVE THEM!!! I may have to get some small pumpkins for my daycare children to paint! Thanks for the inspiration!!! TOOOOOO FUN! you are such a fun mama! Those are so cute!!! These are the first pumpkins I’ve seen that I’ve actually loved. The pictures with them all piled together was gobsmacking! Coming from New Zealand we definitely don’t do pumpkins at this time of year (or any time of year, except for eating!) and I’ve never understood this AMerican thing about orange+brown every year… but these pumpkins knocked my socks off! Painted is the new black! These are awesome! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the line green with teal polkadots! SO fun! Love these! They are SO fun! we did this when we were kids! Thanks for the reminder…and great activity that we WILL be doing. cute-o-rama, meg. love the chevron one. yes, we will be doing this, too. have a lovely week! you say “carving is out” at the same time I was reading and thinking…these might really be cute carved too. Just a thought, paint now AND carve later. Even more bang for your buck. loved your vlog. i need to lose weight. ugh… I LOVE these! These are gorgeous! So bright and cheerful. Great idea for kids to do. These are adorable! Maybe my new favorite way to ‘do’ pumpkins! adorable! totally copying you on this one! so cheery and different than normal halloween decor! In a really great way!!! LOVE!!! You rock, Momma! those are very happy pumpkins! I think we will decorate some this weekend! There is nothing better than a seasonal craft that puts a smile on your face. Also, I love this idea for smaller kids, too. I’m always leery letting a little one wield a knife! These are cute. I still can’t get over the fact that your children BEG to craft. I couldn’t get my son to draw a stick figure when he was young. 🙁 I am LOVING these pumpkins! I especially love the polka dot & rainbow one. I am all about color as well! Going to try this with the kiddos! Thanks for the inspiration! Sooooo cute!!!!! Love ’em 🙂 What kind of paint did you use? Looks like something my boys would love doing! I know we’ll be seeing these on Pintrest shortly! love them! I was hoping you’d post pumpkin pictures soon. I LOVE the idea of painting them. We grew 5 in our yard this year (my blog has a post about it today) and was thinking I can’t bear to cut them up. So I think we’ll be painting them this year too. So cute! That’s it….no more orange plain jane pumpkins! I’m busting out the paint pronto! Love your pumpkins! We painted faces on ours for years because the kids were too small to carve. Then, I would just turn them around and keep them through Thanksgiving. You inspired me…..I love them!!! They are so bright and colorful, what an awesome idea! Oh my! I love the pumpkins! I think the green with polka dots is my fav. And Meg….talk to us about your lovely eye make up in the Jenny Craig vlog!? I’m loving it! Dying over the chartreuse spotted one!! xo I love these! They put a big smile on my face.

then i got an email that could be the best email EVER from someone awesome. i went to kimberlee's house and had a meeting for craft weekend!!! i drove straight to the bus stop from kimberlee's. i said "YES!"
we ate a super fast dinner of pasta and sauce. and out the door to football and soccer. when we got home and got the kids to bed i ran a HOT HOT bath with bubbles and Stress Relief Bubble Bath and i cried. then i was OUT like a light. today….we clean. happy friday. making THIS for dinner. sandhya Aaji – Dear Ruta & Marc,Great photos and great pearonslities. Ayanna is growing so cute. I know Sameer& Deepa have tough competions to keep the attention on them with two little wonders around the place! Your friend has done great job of capturing all good moments. Enjoyed every single picture.Also was impressed that you are able to fold mandi’ and take Ayanna on the lap. That was my favourite way of putting Zoya to sleep. I miss her! Grand parents are so happy to witness family extensions. I know they had to wait for a month. Enjoy the function on 5th. All the best Oooh, my goodness! The rainbow quilt. I confess. I ended up loving them so much I bought THREE. I bought a full for my bed & a twin as a throw, but when I went back one day there was one more full one for sale… I like sales. Especially when I’m in love with the blanket. o.0 Hey Meg, I wanted to chime in and say thanks for your appreciation in people realizing autism. Living with this in our home, it melts my heart when our boy has someone around that truly cares and is interested in him. I cry every week when I watch that show. It’s my favorite EVER. AND your quilt is beautiful, what a nice friend you have. It’s nice to be on someones’ mind and heart. Have a blessed week! Thanks for the inspiration for dinner tonight! My brain is dead and I need make ahead treats due to kid’s sports – like you. love the craft….we have about 3782 acorns on our deck…so guess what we can do today? 🙂 YAY for your happy quilt! I’ve never seen Parenthood….seems like a show I’d probably love, but now I think I’m too behind to get caught up. Long Way Around is my favourite song ever! I even taught myself the violin part by ear because I love it so much! LOVE the Dixie Chicks! So, I have to know………are those your nails or acrylics? I removed my acrylics after many years and am trying the Shellac route. Is your french white tip painted on? Parenthood – Best show ever!!!!!!! Love your blog and love Parenthood. My fav show atm. 1) I love the tile on your floor from the previous post – it’s the same as we have in our bath. That is a fabulous day. I think you are allowed to skip a day of posting when you come back with such a great post! Parenthood makes me cry every week. Seems so real to me. My other favorite show is Modern Family. Makes me laugh so hard! I bought that rainbow quilt for my daughter at college last year, we loved it so much we used it again this year, it held up really well. I love it so much, when I visit her I can’t stop looking at it, lol! Parenthood is my absolute FAVORITE show on TV right now, Tuesday’s episode was sooooo good, I watched it again w/ my daughter on Thurs. She and I both love it, and she is only 15, she’s kind of an “old soul” I think 🙂 Have a greaet weekend! I just wanted to say what a great inspiration you are – I love how comfortable and confident you are in your own skin, and I must say (from someone who struggles with self esteem and body confidence) visiting your blog is always uplifting and aspirational for me (just add life coach to your list of careers, lol!) Ditto on the running (woohoo on no walking!!!) – and I love seeing your playlists – if it helps for you to write it down here, no complaints from me!! I also really love Parenthood. I am not a crier at all (at ALL), but gosh darn it, that show makes me tear up a little. It is just a great, great show. Every time my husband and I watch it, I’m like, “Is that it? It’s over? Why can’t this come on every night!?” haha Such a great show. Things I love: Parenthood. Crying over Parenthood. The photo of your kids enjoying cones in the rear view mirror. The scrumptious quilt. Great friends. Your creativity. Your humor. Your soft new pj bottoms. Your invitation to get some and be your twin. Your blog. Thank you for brightening your corner of the world, and mine. Totally get the tv show thing…these days we become so entwined with the characters they feel like friends, and you like , miss them when the season is over. you are pure awesomeness! seriously. I love Parenthood…it is my most favorite show. So real and these days hard to find something that is so good for the soul. I have to tell you about Nail Envy for your nails. It is the best stuff and you will have long nails in no time. It is worth the price. I just watched p-hood. Amazing. LOL ~ i am not good at the manicure either. After my last one, I had ugly, ugly hangnails for two weeks. What is WITH that? Those pumpkins are super cute. My boys LOVE pumpkin muffins so pumpkin waffles I must try. Hope we get to hear about the email sometime – have a fabulous weekend!! That playlist is flippin awesome!!! I have already loaded it up and am ready to run tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration! I have recently stumbled on to your blog and I love it! You make me smile. I enjoy your details like your run or the music you listened to, the crafting and the photography. What a productive day Meg! I love that song, Jackson…I remember when INXS did a version of it back in the early 90’s and I bought it on a….cassingle! Do you remember those? A cassette tape, but a short one. Remembering made me laugh. hmmm…realizing autism….I hope it’s well done and showcases the incredible gifts of autistic children, maybe it will inspire some to reach out to the often isolated families of autistic children? My son is a an incredible gift that many, many won’t take the time to get to know. posts like this are why i love this blog of yours so much. I am hooked on Parenthood now. Thanks! I had watched it once or twice flipping through the channels… but the other night it just grabbed me. Powerful. I know what you mean. Love, love, love the Sonic photo of your kids through the rear view mirror. Ok, I am much too sentimental now. I started watching Parenthood this month on Netflix. Only because of you 🙂 And, oh my. I just love it. Love! I cry so much during that show. Good tears, sad tears, this is life and it is so amazingly beautiful tears. I actually didn’t realize that the show was still on until the other night when I saw a preview for the new episode that you mentioned. I seriously squealed out loud! Cause…hello! A baby! EEK! And, more importantly cause I get to keep on watching this fun show. I just love reading your posts. They make me HAPPY! Right now I’m in the middle of moving our family to China for three years. My head is spinning and i don’t know what i should be doing. Stress???? Parenthood and PMS equals a lot of deep breaths to prevent crying. But then she had the baby and that’s all she wrote. Such a fabulous show. I have no idea what we’re eating tonight. I’m not even a parent, but I adore Parenthood the show! I truly have wanted a family like that forever. Never going to happen- mine is crazy, but I love the Bravermans. 🙂 So glad to discover I’m not the only one that cries at Parenthood every week! i cry EVERYTIME i watch parenthood! everytime. love these posts that are just like having a chit chat with you. you have such pretty hands and your nails look good. pretty wedding ring, too. Such an adorable craft. And 3.5 miles running the WHOLE time. AWESOME. No wonder you look so good. I’m glad you have friends that know JUST what you love. 🙂 glad I wasn’t the only one crying through parenthood. loved it. Despite not being your pajama twin, I am your quilt twin! Its so happy. love the acorns 🙂 Hi, Meg! I love your blog. It is happy and colorful and it is clear your heart is in everything you do. You inspire me! Okay…have you seen the comedian Anjelah Johnson talking about manicures? If not, here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsWrY77o77o I think I’ve been reading your blog for forever now b/c I did a double-take when I realized that was Annie – not Talby – in the photos. when will the next craft weekend be?! i want to go so bad! Thanks for the playlists. I’m always trying to find some new music, and we seem to have similar tastes. Glad I’m not the only one who hits >>> repeatedly! 2 things: 1, your husband was suggested as a friend on my Facebook….how random is that?! Or perhaps we know someone in common?! And 2, be aware that acorns are full of worms! I’ve been displaying them in a mason jar and every few days have to dump them out and remove the tiny worms that fall to the bottom…..ick! you got the rainbow quilt! ack-ity-ack-ack! that is a whole lotta happy that headed your way! 🙂 it makes me smile just seeing a glimpse of it. Love this craft. I have been looking for acorns that size forever. Our tree has baby marble size acorns. I wanted to make owl ornaments for my sorority family tree for Christmas. I have even been looking in stores for them, but think they need to be recycled not bought. If I sent you paid packaging could Annie pick 20 or so for me? The pumpkins are adorable. I cried at Parenthood too…… hey meg – your dinner looks Scrummy!! Awesome craft idea 🙂 I’m totally stoked about your 3.5 mile run! I have been exercising regularly for the last 6 years and only last summer began to try to run. This fall I have made it to running 2.5-3 mile routes, but I can only run about 1.5 miles without having to slow to a walk for a bit. I am wondering, though, my whole area I run is hilly – and by hilly I mean like large hills – the kind it’s even hard to bike up. I’d LOVE to try running on a flat surface….I bet I could go much farther! But hey – this isn’t my blog – it’s yours and you totally rocked that run! Umm, Meg, do you know that most acorns contain a grub? Yep, they do. I collected a hand full last week because I was going to use them to decorate for fall. My 21 year old said, “Gross, why did you bring those in? There are worms inside them.” I said, “Yeah, right.” The next morning, I had 3 small, whitish grubs curled up on my dining room table and one on my dining room rug. Well, let me tell you there was lots of swearing, gagging and cleaning up. You might want to leave them outside until the grubs have worked their way out. There’s usually a hole in the acorn where they’ve eaten their way out. How funny was Adam after walking out of the store??!? 😀 I watched Parenthood this week too. I totally bawled too. I might have been the mass amount of pain killers the hospital gave me, or the hysterectomy induced mood swings or the music they always seem choose for their episodes (which I always love!. But, I love that show. NO matter what state of mind I am in. Happy weekend to you. One of my girls has that quilt in her room. It is my favorite! I think it is from Target but I could be wrong. I am still only on season 2 of parenthood. I keep hearing about the new episodes and it is killing me to not watch but it is so hard to find time to catch up! Have a great weekend! Megan, I’m in love with your kids in the rear view mirror shot. Honestly I would blow it up and frame it. It’s such a perfect slice of life. Love the burst of colour in the top right too. Can’t get over how Annie is starting to look like a little Talby in some pictures! Those little faces in the rear-view mirror after Sonic are cute cute cute! Have a great weekend! I LOVE reading your blog. I miss the Dixie Chicks. I love hearing about your running. It makes me want to get up and talk about my exercising. Your days sound like mine minus the great emails, and sports. I am in Texas Rangers mode, so that is all I am watching right now. Well that and Forks over Knives. Have a great weekend. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Parenthood. Even my hubby LOVES it. I would even consider moving to California if I could live IN the Parenthood set. It’s so good!!! 3.5 miles is so super! You should be so proud. this is my second comment this week. woot. Keep sharing your running journey!!! You are inspiring 🙂 I’m headed to my second day at the gym…focused, gonna keep on movin down this road! Love the happy quilt and looking forward to hearing your news! I’m absolutely swooning over that quilt!! Wow, I am impressed, 3.5 miles is no joke! Good job! Keep going! I get the nail thing – seems like everytime I find someone I like, 2 months later they’re gone. The gal I go to now has been there for over a year. I tip her BIG, hoping she’ll stay. And I get the sunup until sundown thing (and beyond). And Parenthood. So cute with Haddie getting Max to apologize. And I admit even though it was stupid, I laughed at Adam’s outfit. 😛 Oh girl, I am so jealous of your running. I’ve never been able to distance run and want to SO bad. I’ve always imagined it would be a great way to clear my mind. 🙂 You had a crazy long day…not much to say as I really need to get to the grocery store (but no I just had to look at your post) but I LOVE LOVE Jackson with Reese and Joaquin. We used to listen to it all the time in the car. Thats it…happy friday! Ashlyn pumpkin waffles! mmmmmm! just a little FYI… I made that crockpot italian chicken last night and it was DELISH!!!! Thanks for sharing your day. If it encourages you to run, then you should post about it as often as you like. Great job going the full 3.5 miles with no walking. I have tried to start running so many times and never stick with it. I give you credit for sticking to it. I remember the post about your first 5K. 🙂
loving my soft new pj pants.
when annie said goodbye at the bus she shouted "SEE YOU LATER! DON'T FORGET….IT"S SONIC DAY!" 🙂
it was a pretty diverse morning on 90's on 9.
it's 2:00 and i still haven't showered since that run….gross.
I love your blog very much, more more info, I will concern it again! I have to ask this question…do you like your waffle maker? I bought one not too long ago, and it stinks! I made waffles the other night (breakfast for dinner 🙂 ) and the batter exploded out the sides and back! There is no way I can see to clean it off of the springy-hingey thing in the back! Anyway, yours looks kind of kick-butt…I am looking into a new one and wondered what you thought of yours. 🙂 I know you are super busy, but if you get a chance to tell me about it, I would love to hear your opinion. Thank you!! I’m a week behind reading blogs (40th birthday vaca trip!). comfy PJs. Is there anything better? So proud of you for running. Rock on! love love love 90’s music! Meg please share your pumpkin waffle recipe – I’ve been craving them all day! Love your cute polka dot pj’s – I must get to Target soon 🙂 Ha! I NEVER not shower right after a run….. errr…. 🙂 You’re my must read everyday. Thanks for blogging in the midst of your daily days. You make me laugh with your words, and your photos are like drugs(good ones), for the eyes. In the midst of a busy blogland…yours is my favorite! just sayin’ I can’t remember everything I saw that I adore, but your coffee cup and Annie’s comment are priceless!! I don’t use my dishwasher anymore with only 2 of us in the house, but I can’t imagine your crew without one. 🙁 My morning was awesome — bible study day. I wish I could ad Sonic to the mix. 🙂 where do you get your donut coffee???? amy d’s mom need to know 🙂 blessings Cute post today. Just wanted to chime in that 80s on 8 is what I get movin to in the morning. 🙂 Love it! Enjoy Sonic! showering is over-rated. 🙂 Love it all! My morning was good…very much like yours. Up at 5:10 (Boot Camp at 5:30), back home at 6:30, everyone up, dressed, out the door to school and work. Made a quick stop at Target for some deals. Now I sit and work. I love mornings minus the whining from the 5 year old. I had to drive my boys to school so I could run next door to the middle school to drop off my daughters french horn mouth piece she forgot. Then quick ride back home for a cup of coffee with peppermint mocha creamer {my favorite} now I’m craving chocolate donuts…. not chocolate donut coffee but chocolate donuts…. but I would have to stop and put gas in the car in order to go get them. When you get a chance we would all love your pumpkin waffle recipe 🙂 Run. Gotta do that. Yes. Gotta. Today. Or tomorrow? 😉 i will get those pj pants and i will be your twin…only pregnant. I’ve missed you. I’ve been in a depressed funk for a couple of months now and stopped reading all my blogs that lift me up, yours being one. aaah what a lovely morning Meg! love the bath shot. pumpkin waffles – yummo!!!!!! xx I want those PJ pants but I know if I buy them I will wear them too much and end up sitting on the couch with a movie and hot cocoa…daily. 🙂 My morning has just begun; it’s 9:25 here. Got up at 6:45 after a shocking night’s sleep – 1 child up 3 times for no apparent reason, me and the husband awake from 3-5. Made lunch for 1, breakfast for 5 then walked 6-year old to school while husband and 2 littlies stayed here. Friend randomly texted me a verse from Lamentations about resting in God’s sovereignty today. So timely and encouraging. Off to make coffee and hide from my children. Wouldn’t you know that the one who was up 3 times has the most energy… Another gorgeous, inspiring post. Big fan over here. I imagine lots of people have asked for a running playlist – it would be a community service, surely?! Wow your kids go to school on a real YELLOW school bus…that is so cool. Can you tell I’m not from the USA? um. that *almost* makes me like coffee. almost. but now i just want a donut. I love your pjs. I will be your twin. And then maybe you could be the twin who does all the dishes and never showers.. I did my INSANITY workout this morning and went to a special chocolate cafe to get hot chocolate with a a friend and her kid today. To counteract my workout, of course. Seriously…”dit”? Wish autocorrect caught that…they need an auto grammer check I think… I also have the polka dot pjs—white (Minnie Mouse) dot version…I pick dit up last year along with long sleeve grey super soft pj top…one of my faves! i barely remember my morning..it is almost tomorrow morning! My morning was awesome! Oh My Goodness! That is one early bath! Also, I love that pic of your running shoes. Can I ask how you took it? Rockin’ calves girl! Your house is amaze-balls!! Morning was swell, thanks for asking! Put the kids on the bus with a hug, highlander grog coffee from local coffeehouse, off to my fabulous part-time job. God bless you & your family! Holy crap, baths at 610a. Whoa. Pumpkin muffins, u rock. Chocolate coffee, pass. Sweetness from Annie, yes please. Still sweaty at 2, story of my life. Do you think I’ll run once all of the kids are in school? I like to tell myself yes, I will. I was sitting in strings class with the 5 year old at 7am listening to d d d {rest} d d d {rest} I love the pj’s! I think you should share more of your workout songs. I’m curious now…aaaand I need a running playlist renovation. Funny….I just brewed myself a cuppa chocolate glazed donut coffee at the kid’s dentist’s office this afternoon! Sooo yum and WAY less calories than the real thing! Loved it! And love those polka dotted jamma pants, too! 😉 i love the running shot! awesome! everyone keeps posting about pumpkin waffles and now I really want some!!! already have the same pj pants so we are twins, yay 🙂 i love your ability to “keep it real” I loved this post! It’s always fun to see how others spend their day. 🙂 What a day you had-I think I know where you are running-I can tell from the background in your picture-Do you run along the creek on the trail? My morning was great. Got up at 5am to swim laps with my hubby and then after getting the three big kids off to school I sat around and watched PBS with my twins and scrapped for way too long. Then I started feeling blah from allergies-Houston can sometimes be tough on the allergies. But I’m thankful I have a child that’s driving so she can run to Chick-fil-a for dinner 🙂 better than yours starting at 6:10. we’re on fall break and sleeping in. Lots of wishing going after looking at your blog post….wish I could be out of bed by 6:10am, wish my brain function enough in the morning to make pumpkin waffles, wish I could motivate myself to run and more than anything — wishing that Germany had Targets. Blast. Love Target and their jammies especially Nick and Nora. My daughter (who is 11) and I have the same purple owl flannel jammies from last year! We love them. She is still young enough where its not embarrassing to wear the same jammies as mom! I’m a huge runner as well! Have you tried the New Balance barefoot shoe? Amazing! My knee problems are gone!! haha! Love that you haven’t showered yet:) I do that all the time. glad to know I’m not alone! Our dishwasher has been out for 2 months 🙁 We finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a new one only to find that the one I picked wont be in stock until Nov. 2! Love the pj’s, BTW We will not talk about how I forget to shower, or just plain run out of time from being lazy. Having the husband move the DVD player in the living room so I can start my morning with a workout. Chocolate doughnut coffee? I must tell my sister about this. I wish sometimes I was a runner. Then I remember how much I jiggle when I run and it makes me sad. I guess if I ran I would not jiggle. Go figure! Must try pumpkin waffles! In the past 2 days, I’ve made 5 loaves of pumpkin chocolate chip bread and 1 pumpkin cake roll. (As well as about 5 freezer dinners.) I’m assuming this is nesting, as I’m 6 months pregnant….and we’re buying a house. So since I can’t “nest” and organize, I’m baking. At least my house smells good. 🙂 I love your yellow laces (and the bathroom tile). i always read your blog but hardly ever comment. i don’t know why. but today… I just got a waffle maker. Pumpkin waffles sound amazing…wanna share your recipe?? Love this post. A wonderful glimpse of a perfectly normal morning. Love it. i love posts like this – an inside look at our days. i wrote one recently like this – it was fun to pause and think about all that we do in our crazy filled days (http://erinsbitsandbobs.blogspot.com/2011/09/mondays.html). love your blog! it was great morning 🙂 thanks for asking. I just found your blog (it’s lovely!) and scrolled through a few pages (Sept 30th is my birthday, too 🙂 I just wanted to tell you that my 2 1/2 year old daughter kept saying, “gorgeous, gorgeous” at all the photos. And she’d occasionally add a sigh and a “I love babies!” I don’t know why, but I always love your “random” posts so much. they make me smile. 🙂 My new normal for mornings is to wake up between 6 & 6:30, make sure the girls get up and into their uniforms, get showered & dressed and we’re heading downstairs at 7am for breakfast and so I can do my hair and check emails. We feed the pets, brush teeth, make lunches and get out teh door no later than 7:30. We have a gorgeous ride up a mile long hill to get to school where I teach and the girls attend. I love to run to that song, too! How can you not be motivated with that blaring in your ears? 😉 My morning was good. Hubby let me sleep in until 10 (even though he worked last nigt and got home at 6 this morning). Then I fed the kids toaster waffles, got my oldest ready for preschool. Then I have been printing off free templates to make baby number three (my first boy!!!!!) his very own bibs 🙂 I’m taking this week off from work. I exercised and have done nothing else! Which is bad, because I need to run to walmart to pick up a box for a wedding gift, which I need to have done by tomorrow! I guess I should finish the gift, too. You have awesome calves! You know, if I got up with the moon, I’m might get a lot more done before I plop my butt behind this desk. LOVE the jammies. 🙂 your morning was much better than mine! If it makes you feel any better I found out this morning my dishwasher is also not working.. such a hassel! Then I reminded myself that I might not have a working dishwasher but I have clean running water! Happy sonic day! I have polka dot target pj pants from last year but mine have white dots. They are still one of my favs. 😉 I love to start any day with Roll Away Your Stone!!! I got the boys off to school and realized I hadn’t had any hugs. 🙁 At least I made them smoothies for breakfast, though, and I made their lunches. awesome photo journal! 🙂 Now I’m going to see if you’ve posted your pumpkin waffle recipe……….YUM! |

Melissa - Have you ever considered a Prophoto blog? It is staffed by the awesomist most amazingly helpful guys (one of them is my husband 😉 The superhero pictures are great! I can’t wait to make those masks with my kids!
Cathy - GREAT photos looks like you all had a blast!
Kristen - Oh I really hope I make it the lottery. I would LOVE to be able to go.
Tiffany - I agree, they are AWESOME pictures! But I had the same thing happen to me once with the color being off…so I wanted to at least let you know what it ended up being in case it happened for you too. I’d edit (in Photoshop at the time), they’d look just how I wanted them to, but then once I uploaded to anything, the color would be wacky. For me, it was a setting under “Image”, then “Mode”. It needs to be on “RGB Color” and “8 bits/channel”. Somehow that setting got switched for me. Okay, that is all. 🙂 LOVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!!
Seriously Sassy Mama - I love seeing pics of people!
