College and a Ticket

Posted on 20. Aug, 2009 by Trish.

On Tuesday I had to drive my little sister down to college a few hours away.  I had picked her up the day before at the airport and she babysat our daughter so my husband and I could go out on a double date with our neighbors, who haven’t been out in a long time [...]

Sewing Machine Woes

Posted on 17. Aug, 2009 by Trish.

Remember how I posted that my sewing machine was giving me issues?  Well, they are worse than I thought.  I bought my Singer 7470 about a year ago, and the other day as I was sewing it just stopped on me.  Then every time I would push the pedal it wouldn’t do a thing except [...]

A Pretty Amazing Story

Posted on 11. Aug, 2009 by Trish.

My husband just sent me this video to watch and I was amazed.  Watch the video and I know you’ll understand what I mean.

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!  This boy should be an example to all of us.  We can’t let the obstacles life throws at us get in the way of what we [...]

I Never Fit In

Posted on 10. Aug, 2009 by Trish.

I’ve been debating about trying to write this post for a while, and finally decided to just sit down and write and see where it went.

Growing up was hard for me.  I was always the smart girl, the nerd so to speak.  Always the teachers pet.  I didn’t mean to be, I just was.  That [...]

Starting a Detox

Posted on 07. Aug, 2009 by Trish.

When I was in esthetics school I learned about a company called M’Lis that is all about the health of your body.  I fell in love with them.  One big part of their program is having a healthy colon and getting that involves a detox.

Now I was skeptical of it, but I decided to try [...]

Fake Eyelashes Anyone?

Posted on 03. Aug, 2009 by Trish.

I’m sitting here watching America’s Got Talent, and actually watching some of the commercials.  I know, I know, who watches commercials?

How about those of us who don’t have a TiVo?  Yeah, we don’t even have cable or satellite.  In fact, we just recently purchased our first TV that wasn’t ancient and so deep it barely [...]

Posted on 30. Jul, 2009 by Trish.

Have you guys heard of Greg from Telling Dad yet? He is also behind Womb to Bloom.
Well, he is absolutely hilarious and never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I died laughing over it.  [...]

I Have Never Had Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream

Posted on 30. Jul, 2009 by Trish.

Until today, that is.

What inspired me to finally try it?  My friend Laurie over at Double Bugs is having a contest to win some free Ben and Jerry’s.  I heard free ice cream and knew I had to enter.  I figured I would buy my first container and have my first bite on camera.  I [...]

Man, What a Crazy Few Days

Posted on 28. Jul, 2009 by Trish.

The past few days have been so crazy.  I flew home from BlogHer on Sunday and was so physically exhausted.  I couldn’t even lift my bags into our car.  My whole body hurt from carrying around so many bags all weekend.  Then there was the pain in my stomach.

I figured all of this was simply [...]

My Thoughts on BlogHer 09

Posted on 27. Jul, 2009 by Trish.

Wow, what a weekend.  I don’t even think I can write everything right now.  I still have a lot to process.

First off I’m glad I went and experienced it.  If anything, I help spread the word about some awesome companies, like MomTV/New Baby, Nosefrida, ShooShoos, Southern Magnolia Minerals, Chic and Unique Boutique, and Skin MD [...]
