Vegan Day 2






                                              vegan




Vegan Day 2 -

Breakfast - Ezekiel 4:9 cinnamon raisin bread with EarthFare roasted peanut butter
Lunch - "Big Blue Bagel" The California (bagel with tomato, avocado, sprouts & cucumber) with hummus and bagel chips
Dinner - chili = beans, carrots, tomato, bell pepper,onions, boca crumbles  :o)



FYI ~ become a full time vegan and reduce your carbon foot print by 2.52 tons

A 2006 United Nations report shows that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.



So this is what I can eat

                                                                                                                                                           
ALSO... April 10th, mark your calendars, half marathon on Pensacola Beach... see you there!

What Did I Make? 44/101

Friday I made something for my hubby... Let's see if you can figure out what it is faster than he did... 

Supplies: thread, felt, fabric & thick embroidery thread

Stitching the fabric to the felt


Starting to embroidery the fabric


Starting to make the pocket



Finished product, now what is it? The How I Met Your Mother fans will get the "Swarley" reference...

Gave it to Chris, he loves it, but has no idea what it is...

No idea...

First guess... an oven mitt.... no.

Laptop cover? ... no

Bible cover... no.
The pocket on the back is adding to the confusion.

There ya go!! A sleeve for his guitar... the pocket on the back is for storing extra picks

I am going to make a smaller one today, hopefully, that he could use for his banjo or wear in the front. 

Also... 44/101 on the list... "Be a vegan for a week"... right now I don't eat meat, so for a week, starting today, I will need to cut out all animal products,... milk, cheese, eggs, honey, ... so basically I will be living off of bread and peanut butter and calling my dearest vegan Sarah McCartan anytime I want to eat something! :-D

So far... breakfast: oatmeal

And if you read my Facebook status you saw that when we went to go pick up the buggy in Atlanta and she ran great for the first 40 miles, but then over heated and we had to have her towed back to Auburn :o( But Christian is working on her now, so hopefully she will be back to new in a few hours.... 

And the last thing I wanted to share was Chris' new Jeep,.. we got her (named her "Sandy") the Saturday morning,... which was 12 hours before buggy died... I love Sandy but I still miss the buggy.

Five Favs on Friday

Happy Friday...

I know I have been slacking on my Five Favs.... so I really feel like this list makes up  for it... I hope you enjoy! 


1. The You Bar are custom energy bars... You can get 13 custom bars for less than $40 a box... while you build the bars based on your taste the website tracks how many calories, grams of protein and fiber... pretty cool huh? :o) Then when you are done creating your energy bar, you get to name the label!

2. Custom magnetic makeup case.... this is called Z Palette, you purchase the bronze, blush, eye shadow... whatever... then you stick them to the palette and you can switch and rearrange... etc. 

3. Lolo Beat Burn  syncs your music on your ipod to keep the same beats per minute... also has a personal trainer option that will encourage you during whichever workout you selected. Very cool!!

4. Kate Spade wedges... need I say more? :o) 

5. SUPER by Dr. Nicholas Perricone are awesome toning, and revitalizing products. They are based off of "super foods" for your outer body.... Product examples: "Body Toning Serum" and "Super model legs" These products are getting rave reviews all over. Check them out!

Dead Cars Wreck Weeks



The day my buggy had to go to the hospital...

This weekend my bug had an incident, and now we are waiting to hear the prognosis... but in case you were wondering what happen... I have provided illustrations....


So me, mom & Amelia were driving down I-75 in Atlanta to our hotel having a blast
And then when we got off at our exit the buggy freaked out


I was able to get it to start again, and when we were so close to the hotel, it died again.

And then smoke filled the car coming from the hood... that I have never opened and could not see in the inside of my car... my mom called 911 and we sent Amelia to the side walk... I was crying on the phone to Chris not knowing what to do
Then this man, Mike, came by with his girlfriend Hope, they were on their 2nd date...,  which mom said was a good thing because he was still in the trying to empress her phase of their relationship... had it been the 5th date who knows if he would have stopped,,,  but he helped get us to the nearest parking lot
The next day Christian was there taking care of everything, yet another reason why I adore him and why I should never be left alone


PS MOM I have not forgotten about you calling me "car breaker" all day Sunday...

Move Over Martha!

Don't really move over Martha Stewart, I need you for inspiration...


My dear friend & co-worker Anna is having a baby March 21st,.... and today we are having her baby shower...,


Here are pictures of a few of the projects I created for her shower, I will share more soon... I need to post pictures of the favors, the "diaper cake" & the "Guess the Baby" game projects... :o)


But for now I want to share the banner & the cake!


First the banner:
Thank you cheerleading for teaching me how to make a banner :o)




It is suppose to be Zebra stripes... laughing is mean, chuckling is OK :o)

Ok now the cake....,


Made from scratch with love

The Blue Glob.
Starting to take shape....
These look like zebra stripes... right? :o)
is just a little bit crooked...


For my first four tier cake, I think I did OK

And it is true, my babies are going to have auh-mazing homemade cakes!


Besides helping me whip the buttercream icing, and then sticking it in my ear.. Chris was pretty bored with the cake making process... until he decided to use my leftovers and create his own "volcano cake"










I will update soon with shower pictures! And Five Fab on Friday will be substituted this week with Six Sassy Sizzlers on Sunday! haha.... maybe not... but I will make it up! :o)


Happy weekend yall!
