So it's true I've been cheating on the blogging world with my friend sewing machine, fabric and ribbon. The JBF show is in 8 days!!!!Ahhhhhh......So I have been literally doing nothing besides sewing and bow making with my dear friend Sarah. Okay so that's not 100% true. I did find time today to have lunch with my mom at The Pie Place. This would only be the 3rd time for me to indulge myself in there delish food in the last 6 days. Oh it was just Yum!! If you've never been you 've got to go try it...your taste buds will be begging to go back! My favs there: Broccolli cheese soup and spinach strawberry salad with poppyseed dressing.

I've got to make this quick tonight! I have a pounding headache and my bed is screaming my name. Not to mention...no pun intended...I'm typing and holding my sleeping angel. SO what he's 6....I still hold him for a while when he falls asleep in my arms. I've missed him lots today as Mimi got to send some quality time with him while I worked on my stuff. Gosh... he is so angelic when he's sleeping!

Yes.. he will probably hate me for this picture when he's older. I just couldn't resist! I made this adorable corker bow and needed a model. He was more than happy to try it on and smile. I'm pretty convinced he would be one cute little girl!!

As I have missed 2 Not Me Mondays I knew this week needed to be good. I know I'm not the only one to have ever tried this trick before but I'm probably the only one willing to admit it. We had a wedding to attend for a friend of the family a few weeks ago. So with weddings come new clothes. I have this crazy little habit. I like to coordinate the family when we attend events as such. We went to the mall in search of a dress for me. Well we found No dress but Matt pratically bought out the Ralph Lauren department at Macy's. So now I had to find something to go with what he bought....by the way it's suppose to be the other way around. So I found a cute dress at Marshalls...Ralph Lauren by the way. We coordinated all the way down to the brand. I liked it but didn't just love it. So with that in mind I put the dress on that night with the tags still tucked away inside. I would never wear a dress and then take it back...of course NOT! Well here it is the dress I wore and took back!

Did I mention I'm very in love with this handsome man!!!

So I had to go put T down in bed because my arms were starting to hurt. On the way back I make a quick stop by the kitchen to eat several spoon fulls of raw chocolate chip cookie dough.

**Side note** My deal came this morning and I assure you that had nothing to do with my rampage in the kitchen.

Then I decided I'd go ahead and make a few to eat as well. Nothing better than eating cookies in bed!

Goodnight!!!

Just call me a slacker

I just realized it's been 2 weeks since my last post! One of those weeks we were gone on vacation the other 7 days....oh I have alot to catch you up on! These are a few of things keeping me from my blogging and post to come about them....Vacation and lots of pictures to come! Did you know that a 12 hour drive in the car could feel like 36 hours when you have 3 small children along for the ride!!! Getting ready for the JBF Sale (Just Between Friends) at Will Rogers in 12 days...yea there is a little panic in my voice but I'm certain things will be fine. Tristen's 1st day of Kindergarten and lots of pictures. The task of making his BAG for Kindergarten...because they don't carry packpacks. It is mandatory or I wouldn't have done it! It was a huge headache and I'm a big fan of monogrammed backpacks....because thats just my style. A wedding for a friend of the family and with that comes lots of shopping to find the perfect outfit...pictures to come. Some family drama and boy are they dramatic! Let's top it off with my sister-in-law (Matt's sister..Melissa) got engaged while we were gone on vaction. The wedding is in just a few short months...November 21st and of course we are all in the wedding. So there you have it my life in a paragraph.

I've got to get back to my mommy duties...getting Tristen feed lunch and off to his 3rd day of Kindergarten. Then I will be back for some blogging and lots of sewing!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Tristen!! I can hardly believe your 6! Where has the time gone??

Thank you for the great joy you bring to our life everday. You have such a sweet spirt and a amazing zest for life! It brings tears to my eyes to think my blonde hair blue eyed baby...is not really a baby at all. You are growing up to be a charming little boy. Daddy and I love you dearly!!!

The list goes on.....

I'm starting to think Monday's come faster than any other day of the week! My Monday went a little like this....slept in till about 8am. Literally made myself get out of bed...I really enjoy my sleep! But I had this cute little fury thing at the end of my bed who found it necessary to whine and whine. Untill I let him outside for his morning social hour with the neighbor dogs. Yes...I love to drink my coffee and watch him in the backyard run up and down the fence with pure delight. I must add I have trained him well...he sleeps in till at least 8am. When we first got him he woke up at 5am....yea that didn't last long in this house. So of course after my coffee I head to the computer while it is still perfectly quiet in the house. I pay a few bills online, balance my checkbook and add to my do to list. Of course I would never write a to do list just to check it off. I am absoultly not that over organized. Okay...okay so just maybe I am! Now it's about 9:15 and my little angel has finally woke up. It's back to the kitchen for chocolate milk(Rice dream ...that is) and breakfast. We hop back in bed to watch Sid the Science Kid and Super Why. Oh what a life it is being a mom...some days it feels like paradise!!! And others well it's not always this easy. We are just trying to savor every last bit of it since Summer is coming to an end all to fast. The day quickly passes by...we enjoy a gourmet lunch on the front porch. PBJ and mac and cheese, gatorade, water and sun chips. Tristen puts on his rollerblades and skates around a while. At this point we are well into the afternoon hours and are still in our PJ's! So I take a quick shower and put on my new Nike outfit. Yes.. you just read that right! Matt bought me these cute navy running shorts and a matching shirt. I have to say I actually love it! Not to mention it is beyond comfortable. I must say I think I will be adding a few more of these to my closet. It might make it that much easier to sweat myself to death if I'm looking stylish. Now that I think about it more ...probably NOT! So we are finally both dressed at 2:30 in the afternoon. It's time to jump in the car and go pay our first tuition payment of the year. The social bugs that we are ....well we had to go in and visit with everyone. BOy I have missed them and so has T. Im ready to get back in the swing of things and Tristen is beyond excited about starting Kindergarten. We head home with a quick stop by Farmers Market. Add peaches, corn in the husk, watermelon and some guacamole to our basket!! It's T-bone steaks, baked potatoes and corn on the cob for dinner tonight. Matt couldn't get home soon enough!! I missed him but I was so hungry and ready to eat! In the mean time we read lots of books, played cars, did some sewing, picked up the house and did a few loads of laundry. It was a must that I got his firedepartment clothes washed and ready since tomorrow he is on shift. Thus leading into another one of those things I would never do. The night before his last shift he asked if his clothes were clean. I told him yes they were in the dryer. So he gets up the next morning starts the dewrinkle cycle on the dryer. He goes about getting dressed to realize his clothes are Not in the dryer....they are still in the dirty clothes. Oh my! This causes him to be late and wear wrinkled dirty clothes into work. No not this wife! We ended another day in our house around the dinner table, bedtime stories and brushing the sugar bugs away. It is again perfectly quiet in the house except the sound of the keyboard. My boys are both snuggled in bed dreaming of firetrucks and beaches. I'm back to adding to my never ending to do list. Vacation is only 6 days away. School starts back in 15 days. My first time as a vendor at the Just Between Friends Fall sale is just 30 days away. Oh and Tristen's 6th birthday just a day away! And the list goes on!!! Hope everyone has a productive and blessed week!

Yummy! I just had to share my breakfast with you this morning. With school starting back in 3 weeks it's time we revamp our morning start around the Moseley house. Durning the school week I don't let T have "sugar" for breakfast. Anotherwards no pancakes or waffles with syrup, no cerel with no nutritioal value (lucky charms, trix) and no donuts. Yes it is alot more work on my part! It's back to the bacon and eggs (his #1 request w/ toast), oatmeal, bagels, or yogurt and fuit.

This is one of our favorites...and yes T eats this!

Organic vanilla and almond Granola

Organic blueberries

Dannon Vanilla La Cre'me yogurt

It is absoultly devine!! I love going to Exxon's Famer's Market! They have the best selection of fruits and vegetables...and at least 10 different types of granola.

Let just say it's NOt me Tuesday this week! I would not post my NOt me Monday on a Tuesday. Even though there would be very good reasons....like looking for Resorts in FLorida all day long yesterday and early into the morning Tuesday. To still be dissatisifed with my findings. I mean come on there are literally 100's. I'm realizing I have been spoiled to 5 star hotels and the amenties that come with it. I would never consider myself a hotel snob....never. It is just crazy to me though...here you find the perfect resort with all the amenties and the pool looks like it belongs in a apartment complex. On the other hand you find the most amazing pool lazy river and all but there is NO cabana boy. Seriously??? A vacation is not a vaction without a Cabana boy. So I am at a loss here. Did I mention I found a amazing 5 star resort with daily house cleaning(I thought that was a no brainer...not in Florida. Since 90% of there resorts are condominiums ). Oh the catch to this place....you have to take a 5 min. speed boat to the beach!!! And if you need to use the restroom you have to take it back to the hotel....enough said! I have finally put this into the hands of my husband. I know he won't let me down because he will do anything to avoid hearing me complain for 5 days. I will update when we have a reservation and have a review when we return from our trip.

Let's get back to my imperfections and things that I would never consider doing!

I would not give Tristen a high five after figuring out how to transform his newest transformers...without using the directions.

I would not eat 4 smores before going to bed at oh 11:45pm. Knowing that all of it will be going to my hips and not thinking twice about it. Did I mention that microwaved smores are delish! THey were worth every calorie...if you know me you know I don't know what calories are :) If it taste good I eat it.

After drying Tristen's hair after his bath and seeing wax in his ear. I would never use a bobby pin( like the ones I use in my hair) off of my desk to get it out. I have to say it worked better than a Q-tip.

Update from last Not me Monday: After taking extreme measures to get in some baby making time....it wasn't succesful again this month. Please put your hands over your hears while I scream at the top of my lungs in frustration, dissapointment and pain! I am now going to take another 2 liquid advils in hopes that is takes away this stabbing pain on my right side. So on to try again for year 2 month 8.
