In my next life

In my next life, I am going to wake up at 4:00 am every morning, to make these "school lunches" for my boys.  NOT!  They are fun though...  This is a neat site to bookmark and to feel inadequate, inspired, and somewhat relieved, of the self-inflicted pressure, that I am clearly not falling for.  It also makes the task of school lunches seem relatively easy, as I stand there sleepy eyed.  Ham sub, PB&J, tuna fish sammy, or bagel with cream cheese- CAKE WALK. Granola Bar- Check!  Organic Yogurt- Double Check.  Apple or Pear- Easy Breezy.  Juice or water bottle- No problem!  An Award for Creativity?  None!  Lunch from home vs. school lunch- An "A" for a job well DONE!

I think I might go for Extra Credit, and try that mozzarella cheese "finger", but with a jazzy Halloween candy corn fingernail!

I love October!

I came across this last week, while I was reading random blogs, and immediately picked up some glow sticks for my son's favorite pastime- BATHING! Regardless, of this nightly activity, he still manages to look like Pig Pen, with his dust cloud aura whirlwind.  Apparently, you can freeze them for multiple baths?!  I'll let you know...

These CRAZY CUTE tails and various snouts came in today at Firefly.

It reminded me of some fabulous tails my sister made when Reid was a baby, now almost 10.  He had a fantastic leopard tail that he wore out and about  the Ville.   To see even more cuteness, go to my store's blog:  www.fireflyga.blogspot.com.

O.K., now imagine that little, wild animal of yours, sitting down to

a mean PB&J on this CRAZY CUTE plate.

Yes, I'm a sucker for Halloween.  I bought this from an artist, who had a collection of  vintage masks.  She scanned them and then printed them on heavy felt.  She then proceeded to painstakingly, cut them out- eyeholes and everything!  Five feet of Halloween Badness!

These boots are made for walking...

                          These boots are made for walking and that's
                           just what they'll do.One of these days, these
                           boots are going to walk all over you!

                           Are these kick --- or what!  Hopefully,
                           they will fit well and will be walking all
                           over New York City next weekend!
                                          Yee-Haw!

 I am taking my son to celebrate turning double digits- TEN.  We are meeting his very first friend, who now lives in Charlottesville, VA.  He is also turning TEN.  We will be eating here and here and seeing this.    Of course, we will be going to the Museum of Natural History and Central Park.  I  just love that carousel.  Anyway, I'm getting so excited... We are reading this classic, to get even more jazzed. Perhaps, a Magnolia Bakery cupcake or two!  Where would you go?  What would you do?  I definitely need some input on a great gelato place in Soho, after dinner at Lombardi's.  SO, some input people, I'm counting on you!  Have a great weekend, Nan

          
                                                  
                          Did you read this old post of mine?  It is
                          now framed and ready for the new upstairs.
