What's in your purse?

Some blogger gals I know did a really cool post. It's a look inside our secret life. Inside our purse.

Why do girls carry such big purses? Seriously valid question.

I used to call them life-in-a-bag purse.

Meet my purse.

It doesn't have white seams, I don't know why it looks like that.

This thing give me should aches at least once a day. Way too big.

What do I carry in it?

Why is all that stuff there? Why do I have mascara in there? Why isn't my credit card in the wallet? Why is there one earring? Why is there so much paper stuff? Why do I have two notebooks? Why oh why?

I do not need that much stuff in my purse. No wonder my arms ache at the end of a day.

Needless to say there is just way too much stuff so I cleared a bunch out. Found a wallet for 5 bucks that holds all my cards and the checkbook, why not compound stuff together? Cleared out the extra makeup, found the match to the earring, and threw the broken headphones and all that paper away.

I like the results.

A nice little pouch for my iPhone, my new fancy wallet, ONE pen, ONE notebook, a tide ToGo pen (who doesn't always have a stain on their clothes?), a mirror (which a good friend gave me), and some headache medicine.

It makes me feel much better carrying around and plus, it only takes like 5 minutes a week to maintain. A nice little goal for myself.

First Day of School

It seems like everyone is going back to school! Jaxon started preschool this last week. He actually went for a few months last school year but this is his first "first day of schoool" experience. Everyone has asked how he's doing and it's kind of funny. The question almost seems odd to me. He LOVES school. He gets to go outside of the house for 2 hours, 3 days a week and see his friends and play with his teachers. Yes, I understand it's school and he's learning, but at preschool age it's a lot of fun for him. Here's some fun photos from his first day. How cute is he with his little backpack? They had this adorable little photo booth for kids on their first day. I tried to get him to pose so I could read the sign. Of course the sign turned into a bird. What can I do. I tried. Jaxon posed with his teacher. She's so sweet, it's her first year teaching and she reminds me of gum drops and rainbows and puppy dog tails. Everythi...

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...
