Neighbors and classmates!

A few months ago I posted about my friend L. who lives around the corner from our house. We met when my oldest and her daughter were infants, and now, they are in the same class at school!

Here are the kiddos during a playdate, which honestly was more for us moms to drink coffee and chill than for them to do any real playing 😀

Now we see each other every weekday and had a playdate the week before school started:

Look at those sweet faces! They wouldn’t sit still so I got all blurry pics. Then they got silly and started to make faces ;D

What a trip to see these two grow up. I’m very happy that they’re classmates now and both her mom and I volunteer at the school so we get to hang out then, too.

We were bummed last year because none of my boy’s friends that live close to us were in his school. Now he has a friend he’s known forever.

A little Autumnal Facelift

Fall isn’t anywhere near our home, judging by the 90-degree weather we are “enjoying” but maybe a little bloggy facelift will entice it to arrive sooner? Background courtesy of the background fairy – she has such a great variety of backgrounds and graphics, etc.

And again, please go vote for me in the contest at Leen the Graphic Queen’s – I sure appreciate it, y’all!

Have a great Sunday!

Fashion Friday: Red lipstick, part deux

My quest for the perfect lipstick ended when I tried Revlon’s In The Red. It’s a rich red with just a hint of warmth. It looks kind of dark on here but on me it’s brighter. It is taking a little getting used to because I usually wear pretty muted colors – burgundies, reddish-browns, etc.



I will be happy to show you how it looks on me when my hormones stop messing around with my skin, because right now, it’s just not pretty, people!

Vote for me please!

I’m a contestant in Leen the Graphics Queen’s first Pic a Winner Contest! So excited! I love her products and it’s my canister labels that got me into the contest – will you please vote for me? You could also win a certificate to Leen’s fabulous shop just by voting.

Here’s a refresher pic of Leen’s labels on the canisters in my kitchen:
