Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #194



Messy Messy Fail - My sons rooms are overflowing with clothes that no longer fit.  I know I should just have a tote handy and the items directly in it, but I don't.  So there are piles.  That the boys then knock over.  Bad idea.

Tidy Victory - I have purchased enough meat to keep us going for quite some time!  My trick is - I check the meat department every week and pick up anything that is marked down because it's expiring soon or whatever, and in the freezer it goes!!  Great way to save on your protein!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #193



Messy Messy Fail - My hanging baskets on my deck were such an epic fail this year its laughable.  I thought the white/blue theme I was picking would work nicely, but clearly the flowers didn't agree with the light in that space.  Lesson learned - no lobelia on the deck.

Tidy Victory - My sister's wedding was a huge success - such a wonderful time seeing all our family and friends from all over the country!

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #192



Messy Messy Fail - I took me nearly a year to order a new DVR box from our DirecT, and it's going to take me another to actually hook it up.   I didn't want to lose all of the shows we had recorded on the old one!  However it appears that we are never going to catch up lol.

Tidy Victory - We picked just one bushel of apples last weekend (as opposed to the two in previous years!) and I'm ready to make Ina's homemade applesauce and Grandma's apple crunch!  Bring the yumminess on!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #191


Messy Messy Fail - My hanging baskets on the back deck were a giant fail this year.  I tried to do a blue/white combo but the blue flowers I picked (whatever they were!) got too much sun and did nothing but dry up.  Mega fail!!!!!!!

Tidy Victory - The boys are ready for my sister's wedding next weekend - suits ordered, haircuts done, I even showed them a Youtube video to prep them as to what they were going to be doing. My oldest originally told me "Mommy I don't want to go to that party!".  Now, they say "Mommy when is the party we are ready!"
