I'm going to have 2 graduates as my oldest will graduate High School and my youngest will graduate Middle School. I'm already stocking up on kleenexes....It's hard to believe that they are both becoming independent and moving along with their life. I love them both dearly and are very proud of who they both are becoming. (wiping tears)<br>
<br>
So as for some BACK TO SCHOOL ideas....here's some cute ones<br>

Don't you ever wonder where you could get that awesome dress that Jennifer Aniston was wearing or those awesome shoes that JLO is sporting. Well I know for me I may like them but I wouldn't nor could afford them if I wanted to but there are more affordable ways to get the celeb look....so here are a few celebs with some great outfits....and I've given you the more afforable option.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My youngest (he's 13) a few weeks ago made the State of Illinois soccer team and left Tuesday for Kansas to try out for the Regional team and will not be back until Saturday. This has been a little tough for me (he seems to be doing better) because he hasn't ever been away from home like this before. So far so good though and so proud of him and his accomplishments!! My oldest (he's 17) left today for an all day concert that's about an hour and a half away and I have been a nervous wreck....this parenting thing keeps getting harder and harder. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well so back to the holiday weekend....on Saturday we were invited to a party at a friends house and I wanted to make up a few goodies for the kids...found these cute printables for water bottles over @ <a href="http://tweedleddesigns.blogspot.com/2010/05/free-printables-4th-of-july-party.html">Tweedle Dee Designs</a> and here is what I did:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu-q72-rmulkmtjqtIN5cNzqGadJEpqjj2aFyYtK5_GdL7tT8Ot_lEIhKvpKTWxX6H_jk7Lj-9RdjbEeATUUiIY8d6OTfH2K3HONvrOGINaVmECX-i0A7y6I2Ff1gOXBryiDNiGulwVE8/s1600/4th+of+July+-+Huggs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu-q72-rmulkmtjqtIN5cNzqGadJEpqjj2aFyYtK5_GdL7tT8Ot_lEIhKvpKTWxX6H_jk7Lj-9RdjbEeATUUiIY8d6OTfH2K3HONvrOGINaVmECX-i0A7y6I2Ff1gOXBryiDNiGulwVE8/s400/4th+of+July+-+Huggs.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used the water bottle labels and put them around the jars that I picked up @ the Dollar Store and while @ the Dollar Store I picked up licorice and cut and wrapped the labels around a few pieces of licorice to make it look like firecrackers. I found the printable pinwheels over @ <a href="http://familyfun.go.com/4th-of-july/4th-of-july-printables/patriotic-pinwheel-for-the-4th-of-july-703082/">Disney Family Fun</a>....they were a lot of fun to make and the kids loved them!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you all had a fun and safe holiday.......</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My oldest son will be turning 18 in November and my youngest just turned 13....my oldest of course has become very independent and is starting to take on a life of his own. My youngest is just growing up way too fast and personally I just DON'T like it! I have been going back and forth about having another baby...not sure that is in the cards for me but after browsing the internet I came across this crib and fell in <span style="color: magenta;"><em>LOVE</em> </span><span style="color: black;">with the whole collection!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<em><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">BEV......</span></em><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Bev said... </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">I follow you on google. I love something sweet like a pina colada or daiquiris. That looks really good right now because it is so hot here.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Well we've made it to Friday.....hopefully the weather holds up this weekend so that I can enjoy some</div><div style="text-align: center;"> sunshine along with a </div><div style="text-align: center;">MARGARITA </div><div style="text-align: center;">(which happens to be my FRIDAY's FAVORITE THING)!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I enjoy having a Margarita....but reagular Margarita's have a TON of sugar and we all know that sugar </div><div style="text-align: center;">just goes straight to the hips.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So while at Wal Mart last summer and looking for a Margarita Mix I came across this.....<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/" id="ZoomLink"><img alt="Margarita Lite Mix" id="MainImage" src="http://store.masterofmixes.com/images/products/marg_lite_large.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">NO SUGAR ADDED! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Master of Mixes Margarita Lite uses authentic margarita ingredients for a taste so great, you won't miss the calories!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Master of Mixes Margarita Lite offers a 90% reduction in calories when compared to traditional margarita mix (140 calories per 4 oz. serving vs. 10 calories) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Premium lemon and lime juice is the sole source of the few calories present in Master of mixes Margarita Lite</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now health conscious consumers can balance calories while still enjoying their favorite summer cocktail!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You do have to add your own TEQUILA..which is nice...because if it's been one of those days you can add a little more... :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here is a Friday evening for me......</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

On my Friday's Favorite Things I would love for everyone to link up about a favorite thing of yours that you have blogged about. Whether it's food, clothing, a craft, etc! <br />
This is my first linking up and I'm using just the link not a thumbnail...only because I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before spending the money on it. Be patient with me and hopefully next week I will be using the thumbnail pics. <br />
Once you've linked up...please grab my button and post on your blog letting everyone know that you linked up here....THANKS.<br />

Have a wonderful weekend.<br />

Sunday June 19th to be exact. Have you started thinking about what you are going to get or do for that special dad in your life? Growing up without a father I never got into Father's day it was just another day to me until I had children. However now that my husband and I are divorced (not a bad thing...we get along better now than we ever did) well I don't go all out like I used to but still get him something for the boys to give him just as he does for me on Mother's Day. So I've been looking around for some ideas and here is what I've came across so far.....warning....they are pretty cute!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. Do more with your dishwasher. These days, it seems as if everything is dishwasher safe. So take advantage of that fact!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Think about using your dishwasher to clean items like your stove's drip pans and burner covers, kitchen sponges and vegetable brushes, small refrigerator shelves, plastic organizers, toothbrushes, pet and children’s toys and even makeup brushes and baseball caps—these items should be washed in a separate load, not with dirty dishes. In fact, many plastic or metal items can safely go into the dishwasher—just make sure to load plastic items on the top rack (to reduce heat exposure) and check your owner’s manual for specific instructions for your machine. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. Wash your windows on a cloudy day. Direct sunlight could cause your cleaning product to evaporate before you have time to wipe it off, which may lead to streaking. A similar rule of thumb applies for very hot days as well as very cold ones, when your cleaning product could freeze before it can be wiped off. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For best results on glass, use your favorite Windex® Glass Cleaner with untreated or recycled paper towels or lint-free microfiber cloths. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Put hanging shoe organizers to new use. They make great organizers for small items. Hang one inside your pantry door for kitchen accessories, in your coat closet for hats and gloves, in your children's rooms for toys or in the garage for tools and extension cords. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">4. Position lights strategically. Situate lamps in the corners of rooms so they shine on two walls simultaneously. This will increase a room's brightness and decrease the number of light bulbs you need. Using mirrors can help maximize the light even more and make a room appear brighter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5. Clean narrow vessels and hard-to-reach places. Drop a denture tablet into tight, hard-to-clean spaces like flower vases and thermoses, fill with water and let stand overnight. Come morning, rinse and air-dry and any stains will be gone. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">6. Use one style of hanger in your closets. And closets will instantly seem less messy. If you still need extra room, try creating an inventive clothes rack by hanging a broomstick from two lengths of sturdy fishing wire attached to ceiling hooks. This is a great idea for the laundry room or as an added coat rack for parties, because the rod is easy to put up and take down. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">7. Organize by color and type. Visual organization can make items easier to find and nicer to look at. This method works especially well for bookshelves and your clothes closet. Take a cue from Mother Nature and organize your things in a rainbow—by shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (adding in black and white where you see fit). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">8. Sleep better with a fresh bed. And make it easier on yourself to do so more often. Many people underestimate the cozy, sleep-inducing effect of freshly washed linens and a neatly made bed. Member Lizette W. of East Islip, NY, inserts her clean, folded sets of bedding into a pillowcase, which makes it more convenient to find linens when making the bed, plus it looks neater in your closet. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">9. Get creative with your cleaning tools. When your sponges and cleaning brushes just won't work for certain tasks, look around your house for an ad hoc tool that can help. A chopstick or pencil wrapped in a paper towel is just the right size to clean crevices, while a retired toothbrush sprayed with some Windex® Multi-Surface Antibacterial can scrub away debris around handles and knobs in a snap. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you find yourself without a dustpan, try using the wetted edge of a piece of paper, as member Velve G. of Cameron, MO, does. For cleaning wood furniture, try using a paintbrush dedicated for dusting to get into grooves, adding some Pledge® for shine, as member Judy S. from Gardendale, AL, suggests. Or try altering one of your go-to tools for a specific job, like cutting a squeegee to the exact length of a small mirror or window. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">10. Mix up your cleaning routine. Making fun changes can help you enjoy the task and coast right through it. So look for things that might inspire you. You could try picking up some new supplies you'll be excited to test out. Or choose a cleaning outfit you feel good in, like a funny apron or an old party dress you’ll never wear again. If you enjoy listening to music while you clean, make a playlist of songs you like to sing to and wear something that makes you want to dance—the energy a little grooving gives can help keep you motivated!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well there you go...hope some of these tips help to make life a little easier!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">* The cute little quilted wedge pincushion, made with the gorgeous Central Park fabric by Kate Spain for Moda. It measures approx 5" x 3" and is stuffed with poly toy filler so that it can be sent anywhere in the post :-) Also 6 coordinating charms I cut from the Central Park fabric - enough for a small scrappy project. All in the top picture!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here it is, all parcelled up ready for posting. There's a whopping 650g (1.5 lbs) of fabric in here. I will post worldwide.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
