10 Things I have a CRUSH on...

This week's Monday Listicle is "10 Things I have a Crush On"...

PERFECT prompt since one my things is all about CRUSHES!!!

• My # 1...Numero Uno...Top of the List...CRUSH is on this man right here...

• My #2 crush is on these little angels (and I use that term with only a hint of sarcasm) that call me "mamma"

Below are my numbers 3 - 10 in no particular order:

• Modville Crush Book by CTMH...talk about a CRUSH...the name itself is CRUSH BOOK and you will fall in LOVE with all the things you can do with this book (there's another book and TONS of accessories too...check it out HERE)

 

• This MK bag...I want it BAD and that's saying a LOT since I don't believe in spending a whole lot of money on purses, clothes, shoes, etc.  Here's the deal though...I saw it on Pinterest, pinned it but the picture goes NOWHERE!!!  I've searched online and can't find it (insert SAD FACE here)...I guess that's God's way of telling me I don't NEED it!

• WBU Soccer...I've been watching my baby play soccer since he was 5!!! When he picked Wayland Baptist University to go play soccer for, I was heartbroken because it's 4 hours away...not like I can just drive up on a Tuesday and watch a 2-1/2 hour game then drive back home.  Good thing WBU tries their best to have a LIVE FEED for every home game...it at least gives me my fix!

•  Messy hair buns...with 3 kids to get ready in the morning, sometimes that's the only thing that gets us there on time...good thing it's in style!
• I...have...a...CRUSH...on...Fall!!!!  In West Texas, we don't really have seasons...it's more like HOT and less HOT...lol.  But I do love the smell of the air, the warm colors and the idea that my favorite holidays are approaching...Halloween, Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!!  Check out my FALL Pinterest Board...it's sure to get you in the mood!
  
• Smiling Moose Deli!!!  I always get a "create your own salad" and I pile it on!!! My favorite is:
• Grilled Chicken
• Mixed Greens
• Cucumber
• Avacado 
• Peas
• Brocolli
• Pickle
• LOTS of Artichoke
• a little bit of Sun Dried Tomato
• Parmesan & Feta cheese
• Ranch on the side
• For here (vs. to go...lol) 

• Pandora radio...especially now that there's not a monthly limit for the FREE subscription.  I can live with the occasional commercial to save a buck or two a month!
• Smelly socks, Legos spread out everywhere, Football practices and games, Soccer games via spotty live feed on the iPad, little ribbons and bows...all of this means that my house is full of the children I've always wanted and so many people long for.

Don't forget to come up with your own 10 things and link back to Monday Listicles!!!

10 Things We Buy Every Week...

I recently learned of this blog called The Good Life where EVERY MONDAY they have a blog post titles "Monday Listicles"...it gives you a list of 10 things to blog about and in my case I might just scrapbook about!

This week is "10 Things We Buy Every Week" so here goes...

1. Milk - with a house full of growing BOYS and a one-year old 'princess', Milk is a staple in our home.  About 8 months ago, we started buying ORGANIC Milk which makes me feel better as a Mommy knowing that the 6 gallons of milk we consume EACH WEEK are not filled with hormones!!! It's either Great Value (if we're shopping at Wal-Mart), Central Market (if we're shopping at HEB) or Horizon (if we're shopping somewhere that doesn't have their "store brand" of organic milk).
   
2. Gas - with 3 drivers in the house (my husband works out of town, my 18-year old thinks it's a SIN to not go pick up all his friends and 'cruise' all over town on our dime and I'm the family taxi for the rest of us) we use A LOT OF GAS!!!!
3. Cereal - because I work full-time during the day and full-time at night keeping up with 4 kids' schedules, sometimes it's a "cereal-for-dinner" kinda night...PLUS we started buying ORGANIC cereal which contains less sugar and lots of fiber!!!
4. Dill Pickle Sunflower Seeds - because they are YUMMY and I crave them!!  
   
5. Red Box Movies - we {{{LOVE}}} Redbox!!!  At only a little over $1 a night, we can rent 3 movies and everyone gets to see what they want and it doesn't break the bank!  Even if we don't get to watch them all, at $1 a night we can keep the ones we didn't finish and still come out WAY CHEAPER than renting from the traditional stores! 
   
6. Gum - I always have gum in my mouth!  I think it's a comfort thing and it's better than always having food in my mouth which I'm pretty sure would happen if I didn't have gum!
7. Diapers - nuff said! 
   
8. Bread - My husband takes his lunch to work so bread is a staple plus I have some boys that LOVE cinnamon toast!!!
9. Ground Beef - only ORGANIC...it's not that much more expensive and we feel better about serving it to our children!
10. Eggs - only ORGANIC, Range Free, Hormone Free...our 1-yr old is at a stage where she doesn't want to be fed with a fork/spoon...she likes to feel independent and feed herself.  Eggs are a wonderful source of protein for her growing body and she is able to pick them up with her fingers.
