Smile you are Beautiful

Isn't that just something everyone wants to see on a daily basis? I saw this on a friends 365 project and had to find out more about it. So there is this website that tells you to write it out on a Post It note and place in a public place telling someone that they are beautiful or gorgeous. Something so simple yet so powerful. I think as a woman who has had some self esteem issues growing up this is a wonderful way to help out other women in need. So if you see me in a bathroom with my Post It notes don't think I'm crazy just pay it forward and leave a note or two yourself.

Pinkalicous Details

So I know I posted yesterday about the birthday girl but thought that I would post some of the PINK details. I know you are all dying to see how it all turned out... Oh and I have no clue how to make those nice little picture collages so its just going to be a bunch of pictures.

The Invite



The Yummy food! Which was of course strawberries, pink lemonade, pink sugar cookies, Pinkalicious cupcakes, grapes, pink malt balls, and then for the green foods some pickles, carrots and olives.
My pink play dough for goody boxes

The decorations. My MIL made the beautiful tissue balls hanging from the ceiling.

The birthday banner I made for Madison

I thought it turned out pretty cute. The most important thing was that at the end of the day Madison came up to me and said it was her best party ever! So there you go I did something right! :) Now to start planning that oh so important 1st birthday of Elliot's coming up in November.

I should be...

doing all kinds of things. But this rain is finally getting to me. Yeah it so should have taken sooner than this. I mean it's been raining since Thursday night. So I figured that maybe just maybe if I blog my list of things to do when I sit down here and see my list I will get back up and complete one of the many tasks I have to do before Madison's Pinkalicious birthday on September 11th. OMGosh that is SO soon.

TO DO LIST:

Print Madison's birthday invitations

Make the birthday banner

Go shopping for all the pink birthday supplies

Get the food for the party

Clean my carpets

Make a giant cupcake for pin the cherry on the cupcake.

Make pink play dough.

Not loose my mind in a sea of PINK

And in case you really want to know... the theme is Pinkalicous which if you don't know the book is a whole lotta pink. I love me some pink as much as any other girl but this might get to be too much! Here's the main character...

Bird Feeders

Saturday morning I decided that I would finally make use of the 20 some odd pine cones my children picked up from my Mama's yard back earlier this month. So we set out to make pine cone bird feeders. Sounds easier than it actually was. I got all the stuff together. Peanut butter, pine cones, paper plates, spoons, and bird seed. Madison is having no problems getting her hands dirty but if you know my son he hates to be dirty. He's a bigger nice nasty than his Uncle Mike was growing up. So needless to say I did all the work for Nealon's bird feeders but don't ask him that. Well about 20 minutes or so of spreading peanut butter, tying some string to the pine cones and then rolling in bird seed. Plus a few times where I had to stop and yell at Nealon to stop eating the peanut butter that had bird seed in it. Here is our finished project. Not to bad for a spur of the moment thought at my mom's house and then a month later thought of well lets make bird feeders.
