She's crafty, and she's just my type.....

Thursday was spent channeling my inner Martha Stewart and letting my domestic goddess banner fly high. It's amazing how much crap I can get done when I'm not blogging being lazy. It's 1am and I'm FINALLY managing to sneak on and get my blog fix. But for real...I'm a real housewife yo....I'm legit. Like a ref with a whistle! Woot woot! I've got proof....



{My gorgeous new niece Berkeley!! Fresh out of the oven!!}

One of my besties, Courtney, delivered this beautiful baby girl in the wee hours of Wednesday morning and let me tell you my uterus was SCREAMING when I snuggled her....so dang precious. A full head of hair and the yummiest chubby cheeks...to die for! Little Miss Presley can't wait to hang out!


{Masterpieces by my boys....priceless!}

I ran out of room on my fridge to display all of the artwork the kids bring home from school, and since they'll freak out if I throw it away I want to hang it for all to see I made these little bad boys. I painted a few plain canvases, stuck cardboard in the backs, and got fun push pins to hold up their paintings! They're hung proudly in the living room for all to see....and BONUS, I can rotate them as often as I want AND they add an awesome pop of color to the front room! BOOYA!


{Eliza these have your name allllllll over them!!}

Oh sweet mother of pearl I may just lick the screen....so friggin delicious. I made a tray of these for tonight and its totally worth the mudbutt aftermath to chow down on these...nom nom nom, come to mama...


{He's secure with his masculinity}

I made some bad arse tutus and couldn't wait to try them on someone...poor dog. Anybody need a tutu?

{The Little Miss has a severe clippy addiction}

I made some adorable hair bows for my boo. Am I impressing you with my mad domestic skills yet??

SEE?! I told you! I made Martha my biznatchel...word. But it's Friday folks and as far as I'm concerned the weekend is here. If you need me I'll be catching up on your blogs and practicing my end zone dance for Sundays big game!!!

GO COLTS!!!!!!

{Super Bowl champs...say it with me....Super Bowl champs}

What are your plans??
Who are you rooting for??

Have an awesome weekend!!

  12. I don't even know that we're watching the Super Bowl. No cable here and no invites so yeah. But I do like the Colts (not that I'm that into football at all...they have nice colors though lol).

    Wow you are amazing. That tutu is precious. Hard to make? And those bows....oh...almost makes me want a little girl. I love the canvas. That's a great idea and when Tristan decides to color more, I may just steal it!

  13. Oh my gosh those strawberries! I need some RIGHT NOW. Sounds like you had one hell of a productive day. I'm jealous.

    I won't mention who we're rooting for for the Super Bowl . . .

  14. So.... I'm gonna need you to stop with all your domestic-ness cuz your makin me look BAD. Chocolate covered strawberries, seriously? My husband just left me and is on his way to your house. Please treat him well. Canvas artwork displays?? Lincoln just slapped me and called me a bitch. I guess I gotta up my game. Watch out Alicia, because I'm about to bring it.

  18. #1 Why does Berkeley look like she's your kid? #2 Give me those strawberries RIGHT NOW!
    #3 Why do I still not know how to make bows and hair clips? It's your responsibility to teach me how to be a mom.
    #4 I'm calling CPS for Sampson!

  21. Great idea for the kids' artwork. Hot damn, you're a crafty woman.

    I would love a tutu, by the way. Who wouldn't? Clearly, your dog is very pleased with his.

    Chocolate covered strawberries are always worth the colon explosion, don't you think?

    Still love your hair! Looks fabulous!

    P.S. Warms my heart that you said "mother of pearl" as an exclamation.

    We are having our first "party" in the new crib. About 18 people coming to watch the commercials....I mean game. I will be watching the commercials. I don't like football so I am not really routing for anyone, although I am leaning towards The Saints because Ellen told me to :)

  45. Sang-sang...i know she's your ma but you don't HAVE to say yes to ANYTHING she asks...still...you're the gorgeous one, tutu or not...
    I'll have to say go Colts as my team isn't gonna make it ever again to the top! but nobody wants to come with me at midnight watch the Super Bowl. something about being up all night on a Sunday and going to work on Monday...not sure i got that...
