No Sir. Not In My House.

Finally got the last of the Christmas decorations up last night, so the halls are officially decked. My favorite Christmas decoration was given to me by my neighbor Mary Beth across the street when we moved in three years ago. It says "Merry Christmas Y'all" and she thought it was so perfect because I do have such a southern drawl (it's not just the name of my blog y'all) and she is from Michigan. Northerners either find it annoying or cute.

I hung it up above the door in the hall and the following conversation proceeded to occur:

Little man: Mommie, what does that say?
Me: It says Merry Christmas y'all
Little man: Merry Christmas you all?
Me: No, Merry Christmas y'all.
Little man: you all?
Me: No, we don't say you all in this house. It's y'all. Who told you to say you all?
Little man: Teacher.
Me: Well, mommie is just going to have to have a little chat with teacher...

  10. When my family moved from Mississippi to Tennessee my teachers couldn't understand me because the "deep south" accent was too thick for the slightly more appalachain accent in east tn. The school officials put my brother and I in speech therapy. When we came home and told my parents they hit the roof! They had a meeting with the principal and teachers about it. I'm not sure I ever remember my momma being so mad!

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
