My little sister, Amy, is very crafty and talented at all sorts of crafty craftiness. She's been embroidering lately, and some of her stuff was just featured on an embroidery blog. Yay, Amy! I'm so proud of you!

Completely random, but WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS?!

*I feel the need to clarify that I am being totally facetious. I got an e-mail from Bryce's mom asking if I liked Snoop Dogg, and then Jenny's comment made me realize perhaps my sarcasm didn't shine forth the way I intended. But really, a movie this "awful" has to be seen by someone. Any volunteers?
Description from Netflix: "Jimmy Bones (Snoop Doggy Dogg) is a tough but fair pillar of his community who works hard to keep drugs out of the hood. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop fellow community members from turning on, murdering and then burying him in the basement of his home. Two decades later, the children of the man who betrayed him are about to turn Bones's property into a nightclub. Though his house is gone, Jimmy is not -- and through his spirit he vows revenge!"

Color me Flummoxed (A fashion post)

A while back, I posted this about how much I hated the booties and ankle boots that were coming into style.  I really hated those things.  And I mean LOATHED with the purple passion of a thousand  violent deaths.  But something has happened... Perhaps it's because I regularly read fashion magazines and websites and have thus been slowly brainwashed, or maybe I'm finally getting my style back after having babies.  Who knows, but suddenly - I LIKE THEM.  No, I love them.  Bryce told me I could pick some boots on clearance since every Fall I swear I am going to get some nice brown, knee-high boots, but the ones I want are either too expensive or I end up hating them after all and taking them back.  Then it occurred to me that I only wear them with jeans anyway, so I was looking for a cheaper alternative.  I found these and then there are these. And I think they are Friggin' Fabulous with two capital Fs.  And - OH MY GOSH - I must own these.  Don't get me wrong, I still hate peep-toe booties.  And I still love some good old Western brown boots and high fashion knee-highs, but until money is no object they aren't going to happen.  You can disagree with me, I'm okay with that.  But next Fall, I'll be sporting a pair of these bad boys.  Now to decide which pair I want...

Bad Mommy... or totally justified? :)

Yeah, um, so I went shopping today, and was looking for a birthday card for Fynn for his party tomorrow. I thought a Wall-E one would be cute. Really, two-year-olds never care about the cards, right? So when I saw this cute little owl one that someone had just stuck in the kids' section, I wanted to buy it just for myself to keep. Especially after I opened it and it was musical, and I saw that it played one of the BEST. SONGS. EVER. When I saw it was $5, I decided it would be Fynn's birthday card. Again, will he really care? Nah. I'll just sneak it away from him when he's occupied by other presents. (And, yes, I am a complete and total goofball. No fault in that.)

I'm thinkin' I'm justified. Behold! The Card:
