1. If you had $1,000 to donate to a charity, which would you choose?
I'M REALLY NOT SURE WOULD HAVE TO DO ALOT OF RESEARCH, PROBABLY ST.JUDE THOUGH...

2. Snow days: Do you welcome them happily or are they a pain in your butt?
ACTUALLY I USED TO DREAD SNOW DAYS WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL, B/C I WOULD RATHER BE OUT OF SCHOOL DURING SPRING BREAK WHEN ITS WARM OUTSIDE. BUT THIS YEAR WE HAD A BLAST...CHLOE WAS SO INTO IT, WANTING TO SLED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WAS LABELED A SLOW-SLEDDER BY CHLOE & SHE REFUSED TO RIDE WITH ME, EITHER SHE RODE WITH HER DADDY OR BY HERSELF ( THE LITTLE DAREDEVIL)....WE DIDN'T BUILD A SNOWMAN BUT HAD SO MUCH FUN SLEDDING & THINK WE GOT A LITTLE EXERCISE IN THE PROCESS, CLIMBING THOSE HILLS WERE HECK ON MY LEGS....

3. What talent did you wish you had and why? I WISHED I COULD PLAY THE PIANO, MY DAUGHTER LOVES MUSIC ALSO SO I HOPE TO GET HER LESSONS IN A FEW YEARS...A TALENT SHE COULD CARRY WITH HER THROUGHOUT HER WHOLE LIFE.


4. Are you a news, politics or celebrity gossip junkie? I WOULD SAY NEWS AND CELEBRITY GOSSIP, BUT NOT REALLY BIG ON IT...IF I DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE, I REALLY COULD CARE LESS....IT'S ALWAYS ALOT OF HOOP-LA, SOMEONE GETTING MARRIED FOR THE 4TH TIME, TOOK TO MANY DRUGS, GOT ARRRESTED, NEVER IS ANYTHING POSITIVE....


5. What is your favorite "cocktail"? (Are you a beer person, a kiddie cocktail junkie, or perhaps your more the "Cosmo" kind?! Anything flies...doesn't hafta be alcoholic!)
I DON'T DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. I LOVE ME SOME SWEET TEA ( HAVE TO SAY SONNY'S BBQ HAS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE TASTED) OR I LIKE AN OCCASSIONAL MR.PIBB OR DR. PEPPER...I TRY TO VEER TOWARDS TEA THOUGH, I HATE FEELING BLOATED FROM CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES...

{Bedtime}

Bedtime @ Our house is probably the MOST serene moments - We read a book or two & each of us say our prayers - Chloe remembers even the smallest details ( prayed that no one else would get the cold/sniffles she had) & is always concerned about others well-being....

The calmness has overcome her from the hyperness of the day - She looks up with those Big, Brown eyes...."You are the Best Mommy To Me" & " I Love You are Very, Very Much!!!" It melts my heart each & every night - I thank God for the Precious Blessing of Chloe & how much JOY she has brought into our families.....

THANKFUL Thursday.......

1} REDBOX/B.B KIOSKS - Very Convenient & cheap ($1) & getting to reserve ahead of time - MAJOR + !!!!!

2} ARBY'S JAMOCHA SHAKES - Cheap ($1) + Very Good = Happy Mommy

3} GOD'S PERFECT TIMING - Many things in my Life I felt I knew when the "BEST" time was but later realized ONLY God knows what is Best....Career, House, Spouse, Child....Could go on & on.....

4} DARK CHOCOLATE - Mmmmm...The Darker the Better...

5} TARGET - 2nd Favorite Store ( You guessed it Goodwill is #1)....Got some really great deals today 75% off toys ( needless to say my "stash closet" is going to be full)

{BATH TIME}

Bath time with a toddler is too fun.....As Chloe hardly wants to get baths anymore, she wants to be a "big person" and take showers.....Even though water in her face is still a nightly terror of hers.

We learn all about her day during bath time every night...."Who hit who today"...."Who likes who"...."Who told on who".....and on....and on......Chloe's highlights of the day all come out during this time every night....NEVER a DULL MOMENT with A SPUNKY, SASSY LITTLE MISS PRISS.....

PILLOWS....Where is the PERFECT one ?????

Week #2 of trying to locate the PERFECT one....1st Night pillow purchased was like a pile of rocks...too Firm.
Took it back....2nd Night felt like I was going to smother to death...It was a Down-filled one...Extremely too soft....Another trip to Belk to get a refund on these as well.

So the last couple of nights we have resorted back to our "flat as a pancake ones"....The Search will begin again today....There has to be a "Perfect - Not TOO SOFT & Not TOO Firm" one SOMEWHERE, But WHERE ???????????????????

FABulous Friday!!!!

Okay, Cleaned all morning & then had some errands to run....I have to admit though, I couldn't resist.....I had to stop by 1.....Yes, only 1 Goodwill today.....spent probably 1 whole hour in there and found some Unique finds....took a photo of just a few of the things I found....not that I absolutely "needed" any of it but was my adrenaline rush for the Day....

Oh, I guess I will have one more tonight because about Every Friday if Chloe has been good, or at least "tried" to be good at school, we get to go to KRISPY KREME for a treat....Maybe it is more of a treat for Mommy as well as Chloe, and Daddy doesn't object either.... Plus even more of a reason to go I have FREE donut coupons....

Back to my Goodwill adventure....and Promise Not all of my Posts will be about these almost weekly or bi-weekly endevours....but just couldn't resist....I got a cute UGA pillow, a red sundress, a Brand New "1st Tooth frame' I know I'm a little premature on this, but was just too darn cute :)...and a Brand New Family Tree Book ( has a place to fill out about all of our familes on both sides, thought it would be something to put in Chloe's Hope Chest one day)....

Until Next Time...........

THANKFUL Thursday

ThanKful ThuRsday.........

#1 - Burt's Bee Chapstick - A MUST to have in any & every nook around....I put one everywhere I can think of, the Ultimate BEST chapstick ever, a little pricer than the normal ones BUT so worth it.....

# 2 - A HOT shower - My TRUE necessity or should I say Pleasure of Every day living...A morning & night one is Always included in my daily schedule....

#3 - Open Windows Devotional - What I start Each & Every morning off with, every month is a new one I pick up from my church has devotional passages that are related from the Bible every day....My MUST before I start getting my make-up on & hair fixed....

Goodwills, Thrift Stores.....Oh, My......

I am currently on a KICK to find some Unique home decor pieces. I usually go to garage sales, yard sales or my own quirky-term...."Junkin' ", but with the cold weather at hand not many of those happening - (Even if I admit I found 1 garage sale this past Saturday, only found b/c my old high-school friend had posted it on FB). So with my Lovely, Sweet Husband at hand....and my Spunky little Chloe....We sat out to the destinations I had in mind.......We went from Hall county, to Gwinnett, Forsyth to Fulton counties searching local Goodwills/thrift stores....and along came some sight-seeing of what snowmen or women were left from the frigid cold winds we still were having.

As we started our "Junkin' " adventure....I was in HEAVEN!!!! ( This was an Understatement to say the least....I was like a kid in a candy store!!!!!)

Chloe thought it was fun getting to search the toy sections of every store....My Wonderful Hubby kept up with the "Wired Toddler" so I could truely enjoy my TRUE mission....

I found some Unique pieces ( will post some photos below) - Some need a little tweaking or a fresh coat of paint but I see so much potential in each great find....Until Next Time...........................
