So, ok, I am a thirty-something-stay-at-home breeder of two lovely children on a budget (aren’t we all). I am a believer in the ‘Flylady’ mantra of ‘getting dressed to the shoes’ (which I have been doing, without fail, for more than two years now). I am also a huge fan of ‘What Not to Wear’. What happens when you mix this volatile cocktail? You get a pretty darned-well (IMHO) put-together modern mom, who even wears a little makeup now and then.
So, do you think the husband of said put-together mom, could send a little ” gee you are one hot momma,” or “you are lookin’ sweeeet,” or even “those are some fine lookin tatas lady” her way?! Nope. Nada. Makes me want to spit nails sometime (or at least run around in my jammies for a day and see if he’d notice). I can’t be alone on this one?!!
Halloween is terribly exciting to my dd this year (and my ds is just realizing there will be candy). I insist on making their costumes from scratch, and was a little stunned when dd assured me that she will die if she can’t be a mermaid. Mermaids have tails and everything!! Last year was so easy. She wanted to be a ghost. Ack! I may have bit off more than I can chew here, but we’ll have a go. Pictures will be forthcoming when it’s done.
Here is a ‘get it done’ layout I did on last year’s costume:
(kit Lyle-Kipler-Unscary Tricksters)
Of to get some patterns cut and some laundry done. Have a great day!
