Kitty in the Window

Okay, so amongst our numerous pets, I inherited a cat a few years ago. Mya, our cat with one blue-eye and one green-eye, is so chill...her only request is she be fed on her demand LOL. She'll even poop in the potty, although she may have forgotten how-to since I hadn't enforced it in a while. Here's proof that she has though! LOL.  Anyways, During the winter (or what would be considered Fall in other places), you'll find Mya just laying in the window sill, so I figured I would buy her a window perch. After looking at several and reading reviews, I came across this one--  Cat Window Hammock Perch It's pretty legit and fits nicely in the window y'all. Check out it's features: MEASUREMENT - 21.7in x 13.8in x 1in( L x W x H ); stainless steel cord length: 22"; suction cup diameter: 3.3"; strong enough to hold your cat up to 30lbs. 360° FREE OF DEAD CORNER SUNBATH - Basking in this cat window perch, your pet cat avoid moving again and ag

Best boys party ever?

Like seriously, why do we overthink birthday parties? I mean, I love pinning...ALL. the. things, decorating, and the planning. What I don't like? Actually having to host it, and the cost and in the end I think, "Wow. Did I really need to prep 30 party favors for only 10 kids to show up?" LOL. Please tell me I'm not alone in that? Sooo, I decided this year I would go basic for my son's 10th birthday.  You know boys (and most kids in general), they love dirt, they love water, and most of all? They love play guns. I'll be honest. These days, allowing your kids to play with guns can be a touchy subject, so I decided to set a few ground rules before planning the event. .The biggest?-- Make sure your gun does not look like a real gun. No masks, and have fun.--  Yes, I do plan to provide Nerf guns, but in case I don't have enough, I'm inviting attendees to bring their own. So, where to start with the planning? I'm making reservations at our local ci

Now through Sept 5th, welcome Fall with up to 50% off select items at Magnolia with their September Sale! Here's a few items that caught my eye! Essential Blackboard- just $10.50 and those adorable goat salt and pepper shakers- just $3.50 after code 'SEPTEMBERSALE'   ...and this awesome coffee mug rack because I have an abundance of them (cactus shaped ones, ones with brass knuckles, clear and vintage ones, ones with sayings, and so much more!) and need a better way to organize them. This is way better than to have them stuffed in my cabinet. lol

It's dried up!

LOL. It seriously is dried up!  The fruit slices I put in my dehydrator, that is! SO I had an awesome friend who gifted me her Dash Dehydrator after finding she was "too impatient." --Her words, not mine. Just my luck because we get a bountiful of fruit and veggies all the time and had been looking into getting one! YAY! So why a dehydrator ? It preserves the food, keeping the nutrients without the water. It's convenient and doesn't take up room in your fridge because it can be stored in a cabinet. You could even bag or jar up, add a bow and tag, and gift to family and friends anytime throughout the year. These Stand up, reusable paper style bags with windows would be great if by chance you're adventurous and want to try your hand at selling or dried foods gift basket making! 😄 Best of all, it could save you money over buying prepackaged dried fruits and meats, and it's healthier! I'll be honest, I was so excited to use my new dehydrator, I got to

We made the switch...and you can too!

They say, "Everything is bigger in Texas!" But don't let big electric bills be one of those. LOL.   Okay, so about every 12 months, our contract with our electric company expires. I loved our previous company (4change Energy), BUT they are no longer offering pay-by-tier for the amount of kWh we use.  If you've never had the option to pay-by-tier, it is a great option because you always know what your bill is going to be. Perfect for those on a budget!  Here's how it works: If we used under 500 kWh, we paid $64.50, under 1000 kWh an additional $64.50....and so on. It's awesome because it was a set amount including monthly TDU charges! BUT since they  no longer offer that deal, it was time to do some searching.  Did you know in Texas, you have the Power to Choose which electric company you wish to use? It's really simple. You just enter your zip and it will let you know what electric providers are available. In my area, I came across Constellation . I
