Pass the chicken nuggets, please!

Unless you've been living under a Big Mac, you've heard about the hub-bub regarding Chic-fil-A and its owner Truett Cathy. I'm not fully on top of the details, but basically Cathy is a conservative and his personal views are that his businesses should be closed on Sundays for his employee to be able to attend worship services and he does not support gay marriage. Through the power of the media and social networking, many are calling for boycotts of Chic-fil-A and have started rumors,etc. about the restaurant.
My opinion.....I LOOOOVE some Chic-fil-A and will continue to eat there. And this blog post puts it more eloquently than I could ever even try. What do you think?

Happy Birthday Lil' Man!

Perhaps you noticed, I went from the birth of my son to his 1 year birthday! What can I say, it happens...For Sawyer's birthday I chose a fish theme. I googled my way through Nemo cakes, shark invites, Ariel cake toppers and octopus decorations and found inspiration for what I wanted: Just plain ole' fish in shades of orange, aqua and green. Not "under the sea" fish and not "going fishing" fish....just a cute, little fish!
It was a great party (albeit hot as hell!) for my sweet 1-year old and went well. The two things I was really pleased with were the cupcakes and the sercys.
I decided I would do the cupcakes myself. My aunt is a fabulous cake maker, but with the soon-to-be-birth of her second grandchild, I figured I'd let her slide this time. I found a picture online and pretty much copied it. Very easy and super cute! Yes, those are actual Goldfish crackers on top!

I hate goody bags. As parents, do we really need another bag of useless crap and/or candy laying around? No. But as a Southern girl, who doesn't love a sercy (n. a treat, a surprise, a small token)!? I found this tutorial and decided I'd give the goldfish soap a try. Now, I'm a crafty girl, but this was very easy! I got almost all my supplies at Michaels and it took me about 2 hours to make 20. Again, super cute!
Whew! All I gotta say is I think the 6-year old is getting a Build-A-Bear party this year.

Not to mention the boots!

When I was little I wanted to be Wonder Woman, like most little girls my age. I had the Wonder Woman Underoos and wore them regularly. She was beautiful, smart, independent and had that kick-ass invisible jet. That thing could come in handy, for sure. No more security lines and stolen luggage.
And the ability to change with a whirl of your arms would also come in very handy when I normally don't even have time to dry my hair.
Until the position of Amazon goddess becomes available I'll settle for my duties as a wife and mom. A little less exciting, but still very important to this household. In between my domestic drama, I'll try this blog thing again.

It's a boy!

Just in case you maybe missed me and wondered what I've been up to.... I had a baby boy earlier this month! We're doing good - just consumed by life with a newborn!

Happy Halloween!
