I am SO excited to have my own little place to decorate for fall for any season I see fit! And lately I've had a crafty bee in my bonnet. The only problem is that I LOVE (love love love love love love) Halloween! But its still a smidgen too far away to start decorating for it...So I had to do fall:) (but trust you me, com next weekend I'm going to post a rediculous blog on all the halloween crafts I have planned:))
This is my "random empty space" craft:)
I had a colage frame hanging around that needed something to do:) and the paper pumkins are super easy:) (google it, you'll find totorials:))
Another super easy one and it was TOO CUTE to pass up:)
I found the idea at This Blog and holy crap! it was just too cute! I couldn't NOT make it:)My only difference to hers was I didn't have a random sun hat and straw laying around (go figure, right?) So no hat and I used yellow paper for the straw:The best part of it all is Baby LOVES to get crafty with me:) loves to color or paint and glue! She loves it:) I love that I get to spend that time with her:)
I found these two blogs and I HADDDDD TO share them with you!!! HAD TO!
This first one is GENIUS!! They have the most AWESOME remedies for things! like pop tab picture holders and Freezer paper t-shirt printing! GENIUS!!!! CHECK IT!
My picture colage:)
I love it! I have to say I'm super proud of it:) Super cheep too! $4 poster frame and DI (thrift store), and then I printed my pictures at walgreens for like $4 for the lot of em:) and since I don't have a tone of room to put up pictures, this does the job:)
And then my fall wreath:)
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet... I saw the idea on a blog (http://www.houseofhepworths.com/tag/corn-husk-wreath/) And I thought it looked waaaay cute, the only problem is, I'm allergic to corn husks:) (I know, rediculous, of all things to be allergic:) and being as how I like color better then boring all brown I used tissue paper:)
I'm So Loving all of this decorating of my own place:)
I'm not even sure how I stummbled upon this...I was googling meals and got this:) found it on Time.com, and it's pretty funny:)
Disclamer : I'm not mocking anyones way of life, if this is how you roll, then go team you!! I just think this guys veiw point on this is HILARIOUS!
"There is so much you can't know about your spouse when you get married, like that one day she will want to eat her placenta. But there are two things you don't argue about with a pregnant woman: what she eats and that being full of life indeed looks sexy. So when Cassandra told me that for $275, a woman would come to our house, cook Cassandra's placenta, freeze-dry it and turn it into capsules to help ward off postpartum depression and increase milk supply, I said, "$275 is a bargain compared with the $20,000 I'll have to spend to tear out our kitchen immediately afterward."
Most mammals, Cassandra explained, eat their placentas, to which I countered that most dogs eat their poop. I stopped arguing there, figuring that like many of Cassandra's hippie ideas — the compost bin, rubbing lemon on her underarms instead of deodorant — she'd give up on this in a few weeks. Even as the due date approached and she was still set on eating her placenta, I couldn't imagine that she'd remember to request it from the doctor after the most physically draining experience of her life. This is a woman who, 9 times out of 10, forgets the bag of leftovers at the restaurant.
Though I am exceedingly squeamish, when my son was born, I was shocked that I saw only the beauty of childbirth. Until the placenta came out. There are many normal human reactions to seeing a placenta, ranging from screaming to vomiting to warding it off with a cross. For those of you who have never seen one, the placenta is to the baby what Stephen Baldwin is to Alec Baldwin. It's what your liver would look like if it got into an accident on the autobahn with one of those aliens from Mars Attacks! and their bloody carcasses threw jellyfish at each other.
When the placenta did come out, Cassandra, dazed from 21 hours of labor, somehow made sure the nurses delivered it to us in a flat plastic container, which I put into an ice-filled Monsters vs Aliens cooler I brought. When I asked if I could keep the placenta overnight in the refrigerator out in the hall, the nurses looked at me like I was crazy. When you gross out people who work at a hospital, you have accomplished something.
In a fog, I drove the placenta home, where I wrapped the container in a bag and wrapped that bag in a bag and wrapped that bag in every remaining bag we had in the house. I slept at the hospital that night, grateful that my son will never remember what his parents just did.
The next day I drove back to the house to meet the placenta lady, Sara Pereira. To my surprise, Sara did not look unkempt, frumpy, heavy or in any way like a Wiccan. She got into placenta-cooking after taking a Chinese-medicine course and has already prepared more than two dozen placentas this year — and orders are picking up rapidly. When I asked Sara if her parents were embarrassed by what she does, she told me that her father sells bull semen.
By law, Sara has to cook the placenta at the placenta owner's home. But to my great relief, she brought her own equipment, gloves, sponges and even more detergent than I'd hoped, scrubbing constantly as she worked. If I ever kill a man in my own home, I am totally calling the placenta lady.
As she steamed the placenta with some herbs, the kitchen got that iron like smell of cooked organ meat, with vague undertones of a consciousness-raising group and a Betty Friedan rally. Sara said Cassandra had a particularly robust placenta, and she hoped to get 120 pills out of it. As she sliced the cooked organ and put it on parchment paper in a dehydrator, she told me that some people drink the placenta raw as a smoothie. "I do this for a living, and I couldn't do that," she said. The pills, she explained, were superior, since Cassandra could stretch their hormone-rich benefits much further, perhaps even freezing some for menopause. Sara did not understand that when Cassandra's looks fade in her 50s, there's no way I'm putting up with this crap.
I drove back to the hospital where, thanks to my experiences, the food looked good. When we got home the following day, Sara gave us a truly beautiful placenta pill presentation: a pretty glass jar, a card, a CD of lullabies and a satin pouch. In which was part of my son's umbilical cord, fashioned into a heart. When I asked Sara what the hell I was supposed to do with that, she said people often use it to keep a baby's first tooth and lock of hair. That's when I realized that placenta-eating is really just the beginning of how gross we humans are. And I went to change my first diaper."

I hope someone else out there got some kind of funny out of that:) because HOLY HANNA, I sure did:)
I forgot about this mans story. And it's really a beautiful story.
He tried out for American Idol this last season, I don't remember how far he made it, but it wasn't very far. But he told them his story and it's an amazing story, it shows you what true love really is all about.
"The 26-year-old aspiring singer from Illinois was engaged to marry Juliana Ramos, his longtime girlfriend, in December 2009. But two months before they were supposed to walk down the aisle, Juliana was involved in a major car accident. Tragically, the crash left her partially paralyzed and caused traumatic brain injuries. Medina continued on with her, not only as her fiancee but now as her primary caretaker. And he didn't give up singing."
Hows that for true love. What an amazing person. Still taking care of her, not giving up. And now someone is giving him a chance to live out his dream.
"What Are Words"
Amazing man!

Well you see I've always had the opinion that people like this :
ARE SILLY! I personally see this boys and I have to FIGHT the earge to run up behind them and pants them! they are just ASKING for it! Why else would they show off they're unders like that if they didn't want you to see the rest of it???
And I've told Josh this everytime I see one of those silly boys, then the other night Josh told me something that just cracks me UP!
WE were watching So You Think You Can Dance on Hulu and and Mary Murphy was wearing one of her extravagant dresses -oh, woah! look at that! that dress shows of some super cleavage and I had an epifany, if as a woman I see guys with butts hanging out and want to pants them, it stands to reason that women who wear stuff like this:
deserve to have someone pop their boobs out! They're ASKING FOR IT! just as much as the boys above are! I just wish people could have some kind of common sence when they get dressed in the morning...
