Won’t You Be, Oh Won’t You Be.. My Neighbor..?

October 18, 2013 by jlpenner 9 Comments

I just took a little walk with my dog.  We live on a long cul-de-sac with 17 houses,  And you know what I realized? I don’t know most of my neighbors.   We have lived here for 10 years and in that time I think only 3 new families have moved in (I do know them).  I guess I have probably “met” about 1/2 of the others from yard sale, a blackout we had one time for a night, walking {Read More}

Polka Dot Shoes.. and Life’s Other Little Happiness(es)

I have polka dot shoes. I got them a few weeks ago on Totsy.  When they came in the mail and I took them out my yougest daughter gasped.. and this is pretty musch the response I have gotten ever since whenever I wear them. It’s kind of funny that something so simple as polka dot shoes can be such a show stopper for people.  People love them, they stop me to tell me so.  My girls see them and {Read More}

Mom.. You Are Super Cool.. (Yup, Holding Onto THAT One ’til She’s 13)

So this is on my fridge.. And that baby is not coming down.. ever. My 7 year old daughter, who made this picture, is my (to say the least) challenge. We are very different.. except that we are very strong willed. And that is not a pretty picture.. a bit like this, some days.. But you know what.. I’m learning. I’m learning to let my “agenda” go. I’m learning to see another side. I heard Heather T Forbes say recently {Read More}

$4 Cupcakes Can Be Totally Worth It..

August 26, 2013 by jlpenner 3 Comments

Mmm.. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cupcakes.. These little babies were AMAZING.. so worth the $4 price tag. I would go back to that place and spend $4 over and over to have them. Now I am as frugal as all get out.. but sometimes it is just worth it to have a $4 pleasure. What is a luxury you are willing to pay for?

Our “Good Life” Daily Summer Schedule #Ad

Life’s hard.. I don’t think many of us will dispute that fact.  It’s full of a lot of difficult things and struggle, I’ve been there, you’ve been there.. in fact, I’m there RIGHT NOW. But despite hard times life can also be really good, sometimes you simply have to rearrange the way you do things or even your attitude in order to appreciate what you have.

Maybe it is just me.. but WHAT where they thinking.. yes.. this is my freebie…   Yup.. an image of beef jerky spelling “most excellent”. It was my prize from the Oberto “GRAB & WIN!” game.
