last practice

Tonight {or last night since it's now after 12a} was Jboy's last TBall practice before their first game Friday night. He's doing so well! I can't wait to see him in his uniform out there on the field.

Nice form, buddy!


Super cute!

Meeting Pioneer Woman… again

Something I spend an inordinate amount of time doing is reading blogs. The nosy person in me loves the peek into other people’s lives. One of the first blogs I started reading, and also on of my favorites, is Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. The Pioneer Woman, aka Ree Drummond, documents her life as a city slicker turned rancher’s wife. She’s so funny, an amazing photographer and a great cook!

In December 2009, she was on tour promoting her cookbook and Rebecca & I were so excited to go. You can read about it HERE and HERE.

A few years ago, Pioneer Woman started writing about when she me her husband, who she calls “Marlboro Man”, and posting the story on her blog. After a time she decided to turn their story into a book; Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. It was released last month & she’s now on tour promoting it.

Last night she was in Atlanta so we made the trek down to Borders for the signing. Rebecca, Laurel, Jennifer & I had a great time hanging out in line.

Just like last time, Ree was so super nice. It’s amazing that she takes the time to meet each & every person and have her photo taken with them.

Speaking of photos, here are ours from last night. Thank you to Rebecca for sharing her pics! 

 

We’ve really enjoyed each of the author events that we’ve attended. Here are the links to those posts, if you’re interested:

I saw this on Susan Weinroth's blog & totally stole the idea. ;)

home management binder

A couple of weeks ago I came across a post on one of my new favorite blogs, A Bowl Full of Lemons, about putting together a “Home Management Binder”. I really liked the idea of having everything together in one place; to-do list, menu planning, contacts, etc… so I went about putting my own together.

I’m sure I’ll be adding more to it as I see what else I need, but here is what I have so far:

Gotta make it pretty, you know. :)

The categories I have so far are: To Do, Menu Planning, Contacts and Birthdays/Anniversaries.

There are several places online where you can find free printables for cleaning lists, etc, but I decided to just make my own. 

In “Contacts” I have section for Family, Friends, Doctors/Dentist, Insurance, School and Church. I didn’t put everyone we know in here, just people we would want called in case of an emergency or something.

I’m sure you can guess what’s in the “Birthdays/Anniversaries” section. I also put the addresses on the sheet too in the hopes I’ll get better about sending cards.

I’m sure this will help me on my quest for a more organized life.

Do you have a binder or something like this that you use? I’d love to see it!
