A Little Light Reading

Not Me Monday

UPDATE!!!!!! :) 

This is NOT a much nicer Not Me to read. :) 

I am NOT going to send you to a great blog with the intention of sending you to a great website!!!!!! Go to www.ourdandelionwishes.com

Click on her sidebar to the Fishfulthinking Thinking link - be sure and go to HolleeAnn's site first and then go to the fishfulthinking because she gets an awesome amazing opportunity if she gets enough hits. 

Then seriously - do NOT go check out this AMAZING website - I love the thought of building optimism in kids - so right up my alley. 

No I am NOT going to go ahead and remind you to set up your Girls Night Out to celebrate cold and flu season! 

No on to the original depressing Not Me's :) 

I am NOT going to talk about having to put our 12 year old lab Logan to sleep. 

I am NOT going to tell you that I bought Logan for the Best Daddy for our first Valentines Day together. 

I did NOT cry the hardest when we told the Little Buddy to say good bye to him because Daddy was going to take him to the doctor and the Little Buddy put his arm around him and said, "I lub dis big dog - yeah - I lub dis Logan."

Having a good Tuesday here - will do a Tuesday post soon!

I Heart the Spotted Box!

So way back when the I Heart Bowheads blog was born - I actually did make and occasionally sell - well - bows. I found this awesome amazing thing called The Spotted Box. I stopped making and selling bows (three kids - really no time) BUT every month I make and send off 60 bows to the box for two reasons - always looking for readers - you know me and Uncle Kracker - we want those followers - AND because I get a box - every month!!!!!!!!!!! The box is filled with great stuff as you will see below.....

I got so many cute things in this months box  that I could not possibly blog them all - here are a few standouts in my mind. :) 

How adorable is this Raspberry Lollipop ( not a great pictures - sorry? from Simply Heaven Lollipop Shoppe? 

This is the nicest stationary from T and Little S Designs - the card says "Time Passes....friendship stays right where it's put!" 

I know exactly who I am sending this one too!

This is the BEST playdough EVER - I nearly died it smelled so good. It is from Sublime Playdough and I gave it to the Little Buddy one day while the girls were at school - he would not let it go! 

Know what this is? A beanbag! It is going straight into an Easter Basket (as is the above lollipop). It is from Thought of Ewe and came with a nice little shpiel about how great beanbags are and all the stuff you can do with them! 

Check out these cute earrings (once again - sorry for the photography - did it with my phone) BUT these are ALL for the Mommy! I am wearing them to church tomorrow!

 Thanks Silver Huggers! 

I think I saw that this one was the Best of the Box - it is a Chenille Chef Play Food sample - a little ice cream cone! (Once again - going in an Easter Basket) AND I will be shopping with her as well. Did I mention that you get tons and tons of gift certificates and coupons also? Ooops - should have mentioned that up front - I love shopping online after I get my box. :) I tell my hubby that I am doing my part to support the other Mom Vendors. 

AND - last but not least - I Heart Bowheads so how excited am I going to be to put the Noodle in this fabulous black and white polka dotted bow from Polkatotboutique? You know me - VERY excited. :) 

Go check out The Spotted Box! I am telling you - it is like Christmas once a month! :) 

Friday Fhoto Finish Fiesta - Fiesty Flu Season!

Sigh - Cold and Flu season is still here and Strep Throat is in my house - again - my poor Ladybug - two weeks to the day after surgery - 8 hours to the minute after being cleared at the pediatric surgeons - has STREP THROAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I am going to go ahead and talk for just a sec here about our bloggy party! It all started when my best friend and I were lamenting cold and flu season - we have 6 children between the two of us and we share our daily trials and tribulations via long phone calls daily. We decided that when we survived this cold and flu season and the puking, snotting, fever running of our children ages 7,6,4,4,2, and 6 months - that we would go out to a Mommy dinner after March 1st - eat good food and raise a glass of wine to the joy of impending spring. 

Now - I have a bloggy BFF - she lives in Montana but I feel like I know her through her blog and she and I email back and forth - she has 4 of her own and poor thing - she has had a worse cold and flu season than I have I think! Anyway - Heidi - talked to her BFF and is planning a similar dinner out! 

Thus the bloggy party was born - we want to urge all you Mommy's out there to plan a dinner out with a girl friend - take pictures - have fun - and post about it! I am going to post the code for the button at some point - I think we should even do a giveaway for the most creative post or something (Heidi - what do you think?) Anyway - start planning my friends! More details coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!
