As you all know, my boyfriend and I have been engaged for a while now. We just haven’t set a date because we are saving up money for the wedding. However, since I have been helping my friend plan hers, I decided that I should get an idea of what I want. As I go through the wedding favors we have chosen for hers, I have found a lot that I like as well. I am putting together a list of the favors I like the most, and when I start to do that actual planning, I will be ready. My boyfriend thinks this is a great idea and has decided to help me pick them out from the list when the time comes. That way I don’t have to make all of the decisions on my own.
Keeping My Son From Losing His Things
I really love my child, but my son keeps losing his things. Somehow he managed to misplace his jacket at school, and this was not the first time that he did something like this either. He also managed to lose his shoes. How does a person lose their shoes? The answer to that question still escapes me to this day, and it really does not matter because it happened. What I need to do now is focus on trying to prevent him from losing his things. This is starting to get rather expensive!
I sat down and had a long drawn out talk with my son, but we all know how that goes. I am not even sure if he was listening to me. For some reason, kids seem to have this natural ability to tune their parents out. I don’t remember doing this to my parents, but I think I must have. It must be some kind of built in defense mechanism. Then it dawned on me. I needed to start using name labels for kids. This may not prevent my son from losing his things, but it certainly would make it a lot easier to find the items that he keeps losing.
With a label, I would not need to depend on my son to not lose his things. I could handle every single bit of it myself, and all I needed was something as simple as a label. So now it was up to me to find a label that I could use to label everything that my son owned. I had a plan.
Luckily I did not have to look very far. I found stuck on you and labelcity.com. They had a wide assortment of great labels that I could choose from. Now it was only a matter of getting a bunch of labels and adding the everything that my son owned.
Wedding flutes
I found the loveliest Wedding flutes for the toasting. They are an absolute necessity for any wedding. I still have mine from my wedding to the kids father. I will pass them down to my daughter someday. She says that she will use them at her own wedding when she grows up. I cannot wait until the day comes when we can plan her wedding, even though I don’t want her to grow up yet. One day I will look up and that will have happened already. I know that it will seem like it happened over night, because it seems like yesterday when she was born. She is already halfway to womanhood and I begin to feel old, just looking at how much she has grown and changed.
Wedding favors
The Wedding favors will be so cute when we finally get everything picked out. We have chosen a few things, but are not quite finished. The bags will be randomly filled with different stuff, so that people mostly get something different. Only, one item will be the same in all of the bags. It has a more personal touch to it and we are sure that the guests will really love it.
I for see some trading back and forth or bartering, which will make things interesting. I am hoping that the disposable cameras we will put on the tables will catch some of the bartering. I think it will make for humorous pictures and stories.
Wedding invitations
I am back to looking at Wedding invitations. I just can’t seem to let it go. I was not happy with the ones that have been chosen and I am hoping that we might find something better. Planning a wedding is not easy. There is so much that has to be done and half of it hinges on the invitations getting out and the RSVP’s coming back.
We can’t really order anything at all until that happens and if the invitations are sub par, we will not order them either. It is a time consuming hassle. Of course, in the end it is definitely worth it, but takes forever.
Shopping
Found a new way to shop online. DealDash is where it is. I have bid on a few things that I really like and actually got a couple of them, really cheap. Deal Dash has all kinds of stuff. No matter what you are into, you will be able to find something you like. DealDash is where I am going to find a lot of my Christmas presents this year.
Buddha
Sometimes I just need to have a little serenity in my life. I look for inspiration in many places. This is such a true statement and makes so much sense to me.
I hope everyone else appreciates these little insights I share. They are meant to be uplifting.
SMH
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and walk away. Some people are just too stupid and I cannot for the life of me figure out how they get through life alive. If you say you love someone you should actually act like it. If you don’t then you wont have that person for very long.
Spiritual
I have a thing about native American spiritual art. This one is one of my absolute favorites. I thought that it would be nice to share with everyone. I did not make it myself, but just borrowed it from online. I find these all the time online. Hope you enjoy !
Cooling off the night
One of the best parts of the summertime is being able to enjoy a nice refreshing cup of ice cream before bed. Nothing is more satisfying than to be able to take one spoonful after the next of my favorite ice cream and not feel guilty. They have some excellent low fat andlow calorie ice creams on the market.
A favorite flavor of mine is mint chocolate chip. I just love the combination of mint and chocolate together. This ice cream reminds me so much of the candy, Andes mints. When the night is hot the refreshing coolness of the mint mixed with chocolate allows my body to be fooled into being cooler then it really is. Either way, all I know is that it works!
If I had to choose a second favorite flavor of ice cream then I would have to say peanut- butter and chocolate. These two flavors in any combination equal pure bliss. Tonight is kind of sticky and warm. Since I have the air conditioning on than I think eating a bowl of ice cream is in order. Now, to decide which flavor…
