Sweet Sushi

With all the rave about sushi (and yes, I rave about it constantly) this new idea is just PERFECT!

Sweet sushi!



How adorable would this be as a dessert for a cockatil party? Or a Christmas party?


It seems so simple. And looks so adorable. I can't wait to have an excuse to make it.
Instructions and ideas are here at Brownie Points.

If there's a bug, he's got it

Konner that is. If there's a bug going around, he's guaranteed to catch it. And I don't mean bees, flies, love bugs, etc. I mean colds, flu, 'ickyness'. Whatever you want to call it. And this week is no different.

After a pointless visit with his pediatricians office, we finally made it in to see Dr. Kate. (The most amazing doctor I have ever had to deal with) She is very thorough with Konner and understands his history. I love her!

Anyway, she informed me that Konner has the start of a viral infection. Along with this, he has four teeth coming out, tonsillitis and ulcers on the back of his tongue. He lost about 2 pounds recently and pretty much refuses to eat. She said that these ulcers are very painful and it's no surprise that he isn't eating. After a few tips and a new medication, she sent us on our way. But I have to say that she sent us on our way with great confidence. She made it a point to have me call if ANYTHING goes wrong. After our last ER visit, it is great to know this.

Did I mention that I absolutely ♥ Dr. Brent and Dr. Kate?

Wish us luck in this recovery! :D

David and Kelly Sopp...

...are the authors of this parenting "how to" book. It's not your ordinary parenting book. It comes complete with diagrams:



And an extra bonus! The Wheel of Responsibility! :D



This deinitely beats out any parenting book that I've ever read. And I've read quite a handful. Oh how I love that someone can make jokes while getting the point across.

Visit this site for more images.

You can also check out Amazon to purchase this book or view other "how-to" books from this couple.

Are you a citizen?

While browsing Facebook today, I came across an interesting link. Apparently being a US Citizen no longer means that you were actually born in the US. Now, I know you can "earn" your green card. Which techincally qualifies you as being a citizen. But buying your citizenship? That's insane!

It's true! If you have a million dollars (and hopefully other qualifications) you can buy your way into the US. It's explained clear as day here , on the USCIS website.

Call me racist, call me mean, call me whatever you want, but I think this is rediculous. I know America is a great place to live, but let that be our right. Let us enjoy OUR country. The country that we were BORN in.

Weekend Update

We had a fantastic, fun-filled weekend. Lunch at Chick fil-a on Saturday. Followed by the Pumpkin Patch and UL Homecoming. Sunday was Bark in the Park at Girard Park. Great fun and plenty of pictures...

Hello World!

I am back! (Until I dissappear again) And might I add...FREEZING! This cold weather sucks! My toesies can't seem to defrost.

Only in Louisiana will it be 40 degrees in the morning, 70 during the day, and back up to 80 later in the week. And we wonder why we're always sick.

I seem to have a large lack in creativity lately (at least when it comes to my blog.) So, I will leave it at this...

I'm back. I hope to update more often. When my creative juices start flowing, I'll come up with humurous posts on the subject of mullets and such. :)

My Life...

...is very hectic right now. Sorry for the lack of posts. I will reappear when I rejuvenate. :)
