What I Wore–Bloggy Boot Camp 2012
| April 25, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
I don’t normally do these kinds of posts…well, because I normally wear Victoria’s Secret Sweats all day long! Ahhh the life I lead! So since I actually dressed up a bit AND I took some of my FAVORITE things with me to my first blogging conference, I thought I’d share! Friday Night Cocktail Party Purple Top – The Limited / Necklace and Bangles – Charlotte Russe / Jeans – Victoria’s Secret / Cute shoes you can’t see – Payless (from a long time ago!) Saturday—Blogging Conference Yellow Top – Forever 21 / Jeans – The Limited / Necklace – Vintage… Continue reading…
Bloggy Boot Camp–St. Louis, MO
| April 24, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
I attended my first blogging conference ever this past weekend. Bloggy Boot Camp hosted by the SITS Girls! It was such a great experience! I’ll give you the details as they happened! Friday night we met at the Millennium Hotel in Downtown St. Louis and had a cocktail party hosted by Charmin. Yep, as in the toilet paper people! When I arrived I was so happy to scan the crowd of ladies and almost instantly spot Erin from How to Nest for Less and Kelly from Live Laugh Rowe. They introduced me to Debbie from Debbie Does Creations! I had… Continue reading…
Just a Bunch of Words…
| April 14, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Amidst the Washi Tape craze that is going on here, other stuff is happening also. It’s good to be back in St. Louis. If you follow hockey, you then know that the Blues are in the Stanley Cup playoffs. If you follow baseball, then you know that today was the Cardinals home opener. It rained all day and the Cards lost to the stupid Cubs. I blame Friday the 13th. I went over to my parents house on Thursday evening after dinner to borrow a sander from my dad. It was awesome. I packed up the kids, I drove 2… Continue reading…
A Moving Update & A Mustache Mug!
| March 28, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY |
Hi Friends!!! I miss you!!! We are getting settled in and finding a spot for all our crap, well most of it anyway! When not unpacking, we have also been LOVING spending time with family. We have never lived in the same city as family so this is really awesome for us! The boys are totally thrilled with the fact that they can see my parents…on a week night…only in a matter of minutes and then they can do it again the next day. They are NOT used to that! I bought a bunch of furniture also. A leather sectional,… Continue reading…
Moving Sucks
| March 21, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Yep, as the title of this post suggests…moving sucks! Hmm…where to begin? 1. Ryan decided to get hand, foot and mouth disease and be MISERABLE for about 5 days prior to the move. It was super awesome. He couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep because he was hungry. Score! I started out…TIRED! 2. Utilizing the awesome help of my fantastic girlfriend’s husband…heavy furniture AND our freaking heavy playground/swing set thing was moved on Thursday. The moving of the swing set really did not negatively impact me in any way, shape or form…however the moving of the heavy furniture resulted in this:… Continue reading…
You Can Just Call Me Bobby…
| March 12, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
OK so Ryan is talking up a storm which is great and all. The thing is…he seems to like to replace the “M” sound with a “B” sound… Milk = Bilk (not to be confused in the car for BOOK which he will then shoot you the look from hell and throw the book across the seat until you realize he meant MILK…true story) Cows say “Boo!” instead of MOO Momma = Bobba Which leads us to Mommy = Bobby. I now answer to Bobby. Michael has stared calling me Bobba and so has Freddy…it’s. just. wonderful. Let me tell… Continue reading…
Arizona Hates Me
| February 29, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
It’s official…I have declared that the state of Arizona tried to kill me. Arizona hates me. After you read this and I tell you how much I LOVE MY IN-LAWS…some of you with in-laws from hell may hate me also. Trip down went alright. Flight was delayed an hour before we left but I just took the boys down to an almost empty concourse and they had a whole side emptied out of all the seats as they were upgrading the gate areas and I let them run around and play. And sprawl all out on the floor (new carpet)… Continue reading…

Today we are boarding a plane (with 2 small children) to fly to Arizona (with 2 small children) to see my parents-in-love, sister/brother-in love and their kids and their kids (with 2 small children).

Please say a prayer that our travels go smoothly (with 2 small children)!!! I would super, duper appreciate it. I have travelled with one. I have travelled with one… Continue reading…
Goodbye Old Friend
| January 12, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
Our oldest of our two dogs, Thumper, passed away during the night on Tuesday night. Freddy gets up each morning to go work out and then returns and walks the dogs. He came into our room a little after 6 am and told me that Thumper had passed away. He was 11.5 years old. I went to him and he was laying on his bed and was gone. He was a great dog. He was a STINKY dog, but a great one. He was incredibly loyal to me. I got him in college as a 6 week old pup. He… Continue reading…
