Day of Inspiration Blog Hop

HEY! Welcome to my stop on the Cocoa Daisy Day of Inspiration Blog Hop!

Some stitching, wordage, flair, ribbon, and the world map = an MK hip bag.  I really love how my bag turned out! It's totally me and I'll be carrying it wherever my travels take me.

GIVEAWAY: I’m giving away a pretty nifty prize pack that i don't have a photo of right now because it's just so nifty and growing. If you'd like to be entered in the giveaway please leave a comment telling me what your favorite saying is or what you catch yourself saying A LOT.

Friday 5 Mav Style

1. Mav's favorite sayings: comin soon dvd & blu ray, You fired(i get this one when he gets mad at me), I not take anymore, yes, peez, Mom, Redbox? Mom, you, me redbox. He also has a couple words that are for 18+ years but like I had to tell Teagan the other day "Hey they are words and I'm glad he has words" yes I know that is bad but seriously when you have a child with barely any words when he says it's "bullshit mom" to leave home to go 15-20minute drive to pick up sisters at school I tend to agree that indeed it is bullshit. I also have to add I have never got a note home saying Mav has used naughty words so it's all good. Dude it's life, it's too short, and there are so many other things I have to worry about. Yes, I'll take you bad mom awards.

2. Mav's clothing choices: Athletic pants-the kind with elastic or PJ pants, T-shirts, Nike shoes(we found the perfect ones in the womens section and he loves them. it's really hard to find shoes that fit correctly because his feet still aren't perfect even after reconstructive surgery.), hoodies, shorts.

3. Mav's movies: Cars, Thomas & Friends, Winnie the Pooh ( I found the Merry Pooh Year on EBAY woohoo), Bear in the Big Blue House, and anything new at the REDBOX. He knows that Redbox releases new DVD's on Tuesdays so that is all I hear about on Tuesday after he's off the bus. 

4. Mav's favorite peeps: Momma allow I have been on and of his shit list since I cut my long hair years ago, GMA oh this woman is Mav's favorite by far! Gpa he thinks he's pretty awesome, Baby(Avery), Teagan they've always been tight because of their close age but they also go in spurts where they can't stand each other, Daddy he's been all over Mr.K lately.  He also likes some high school boys that he goes up to at recess(in our town elementary-high school are on 1 campus. seriously small town.the girls go a town over but will be changing in the fall).

5. Mav's Favorite things to do: watch movies, jump on the trampoline, sit and get into all of the cool stuff in moms scrap room, drive his sisters batty, play with trains, being outside, riding the bus, taking pictures, eating french fries and drinking coke, playing on his ipad and snuggling with the pups.

Happy Friday! ~MK

This one time... it was like senior prom

So I've made the analogy before about something feeling like the nerdy girl getting asked to the prom by the football quarterback...well last time it was the junior prom and in the end the quarterback dumped the nerdy girl with no warning, no phone call, no email, nothing just a laugh on Monday morning in the halls. She was heart broke sitting on the stairs in tears wondering why? didn't she know it was too good to be true? how did she fall for it? didn't she know better? I guess she didn't but  she did learn a lot from it!

SO a year later her nerdiness is back with a big smile on her face ready to announce that she got another fabulous offer and she's on cloud 9.

 

I'm still pinching myself about being part of October Afternoon's Design Team! It's totally real not a dream I have a bruise on my arm from the pinch and I am totally awake :) I have loved their products for awhile and I'm so excited to work with the fabulous ladies on the Design Team.

Thank you to all that sent their love and congrats yesterday when you saw the announcement!! Y'all are awesome and so supportive!
