I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

What I like to call "Dog Tag Jewelry"

I've gotten asked a lot recently where I got my "dog tag" necklace, and if I knew of any other websites that are nice, so I decided to blog about it. Vintage Pearl is where, but there are other sites that I have found since then that I like also. The only problem is that I don't remember which sites those are when I've been asked, so I decided to sit down and compile the ones that I did find that I like.

This one here from Chantelle Nicole Designs is having a FANTASTIC deal for the next six hours. Normally these kinds of necklaces are around $60, but she's selling this particular one at $32, which is basically like half off. The thing I like about it is that it's a disc, just a plain simple shape. There's just something to be said about simple. Good clean lines. You can put your hubbies name on this one along with your kids, AND it includes the freshwater pearl that I added to mine from Vintage Pearl. Check it out. I think it's super cute!!


Chantelle Nicole Designs (I really like this one)
Lisa Leonard Designs
Charmies Online
Three Sisters (I really like this one too:)
I tried to find the other ones that I've seen, but since I can't remember their names or where it was I found them, this will have to do I suppose:)

Hope this helps! Good luck in finding your perfect piece.

Oh, and HI MARY!!!

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
