The Green Wife

So….the swine flu

It’s here.  In my lovely little hometown.  As of right now, one elementary has been closed.  There are 13 ’suspicious cases’ and 5 others that were directly exposed to comfirmed cases in another town. Ack. So, because this is all over everything you hear and see, I would like to poll you guys!  Please feel free to [...]

Ironing boards are funny.

Today I decided to do start doing video tutorials and such and realized that if I’m going to do this, I need to replace my old, ugly ironing board cover. So I took myself to the store and as I explored the options on the ironing board aisle, I suddenly remember Brian Regan’s stand-up [...]

Thank you, Sir.

I’m not sure why this headline was halfway down the page and barely noticeable on MSN’s site, but I feel it is huge news!  Today, President Obama lifted the ban on funding stem cell research! Thank you, Sir!

Ouch!

This afternoon, I was at my ironing board working very diligently on a new tutorial to share with you guys and Elliott was playing in my box of buttons behind me.  Every now and then she would come and poke one down into the back pocket of my jeans and after awhile, I became oblivious [...]

Ballerina Hair Clip Holder

For Elliott’s birthday I made her a hair clip holder.  Her room is done in a shabby chic-ballerina combo, so I picked out scrapbook paper and embellishments to fit the theme.  I found the cute little unfinished wood piece at Hobby Lobby and used Mod Podge to apply the paper and ballerina stickers.  It still [...]

Garden fever!

The last few days have been absolutely gorgeous!  High 70s to mid-80s.  It was such a nice change of pace to be able to go outside and feel the sunshine warming my skin!  What this spring-like weather did to me, though, was get my garden fever raging!  I couldn’t resist buying a few seeds, garlic [...]

Tweet tweet!

Okay, so… Everyone has been telling me about Twitter for a long time now, but I kept my distance.  I thought the concept was rather silly, to be honest.  I couldn’t imagine anyone giving a hoot was I was doing every few minutes of my day.  I mean, I don’t ever even log into or update [...]

Vegas? No Thanks

After a quick trip down the Vegas strip, I feel the need to post my thoughts on this place! First, I’ll go ahead and say that being here for Wordcamp has been fun.  We’ve met quite a few fun and interesting people and had a good time. That being said…I have to move on to my negativity.  For [...]

Word from Wordcamp!

This weekend I’m in Las Vegas with Shayne for Wordcamp.  It’s been a nice trip and a wonderful break for Mommy. :)  Several nights without bathing and tucking in children, days without laundry and dishes…..it’s lovely.  I miss my kiddos and can’t wait to hold them as soon as we get home, but I’m honestly enjoying my little [...]

Campaign signs? No, thanks.

Okay. Here’s the deal. I don’t enjoy complaining. I don’t like to be critical, negative or lean toward being a complete raving lunatic. However….this election business has pushed me outside of my comfort zone. There is something I must get off my chest. Campaign signs. Sure, the candidates will have [...]
