A Friendly Reminder

November 30, 2011

There is a lot going on at From Inmates To Playdates, this week. We celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with McDaddy’s family over the weekend, AND, we had house guests! The boys triple-loved their cousins staying here for a ‘sleep-over’. I’ll post pics later because I’m up to my eye-balls in laundry, but for now, I [...]

Math Blaster [Giveaway]

November 29, 2011

When I received an e-mail recently asking if we’d (my boys and I) like to try out Math Blaster, I chuckled because if you’ve spent any amount of time around here, you know that math is not my strong suit. Thankfully, Stevie got a math gene from his daddy because he loves math and he doesn’t [...]

A Whole Lot Of Awesome [Music Giveaway]

November 28, 2011

A few weeks ago, I received a blog-pitch asking if I’d like to review three new Christmas CD’s from, get this… David Crowder, Matthew West, AND Toby Mac. And I said something like, SIGN. ME. THE HECK. UP. That is a whole lot of awesome right there. When I ripped the package open, I was like a giddy [...]

A Thankful Heart

November 24, 2011

Thankful for so many things today. Earlier this week, I had a humbling experience that brought me to tears. It made me stop and REALLY think about all of the things in my life that I take for granted. I need to do that more often. I also need to be thankful for all of [...]

Cryin’ The Blues

November 23, 2011

Hi friends! Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, You Capture is posting a day early, so I thought I’d play along as I watch the Dancing With The Stars Finale even though my boyfriend got booted off last week. And yes, I have been cryin’ the blues to anyone who would listen since then, because 1. Maks is [...]

What I Learned This Week

November 22, 2011

It’s that time again, folks. Here’s what I learned this week: 1. When you receive a letter in the mail regarding a school meeting, perhaps instead of throwing it in the trash because you have it on your calendar, maybe you should READ IT on the off chance that you are receiving the letter because the [...]

Causing A Scene

November 21, 2011

Welcome to Not Me! Monday, where I share a few things I might or might not have done this week. “Why,” you might ask? Well, because it’s cheaper than therapy. I never, ever, dance around the house (in my underwear) singing Adele at the top of my lungs while getting ready. Now, that would be a scene, wouldn’t [...]

Over My Dead Body

November 18, 2011

I spent yesterday sitting around my dining room table with three PTA volunteers from Stevie and Alex’s school. We closed out a fund-raiser and had the tedious task of processing the orders and counting all the money. As women often do, we talked about a wide variety of topics. At one point, we even talked about funerals. It [...]

I Kiss Better Than I Cook

November 17, 2011

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love to have fun. I make sure my everyday normal life is fun because life is short. Even for a princess. For that reason, I sometimes wear this around the house just because I can. And just to be sure you understand my brand of royalty, have [...]

Christmas Card Extravaganza

November 16, 2011

The Christmas card extravaganza is a big deal around here. And I say extravaganza because that is exactly what it is. I start early, usually sometime in November. I hand-sign approximately 200 cards with fine-tip Christmas Sharpie, and write a personalized message in each one. After that, I sit down to write one of those dreaded a Christmas [...]
