Bridesmaids Party

- brandy3

Title Treatment 2

The new BridesMaids is coming to dvd on September 20, 2011, and in honor of the release I et to have some girlfriends come over and have a party. I am so excited but am keeping it very small, I have a family of 5 and we live in a 1000 square foot town house so not much room for a big party.

I am so excited to watch the movie, I have never been a bridesmaid before. Actually I haven’t been to many weddings that haven’t been family. I am only 26 ( 27 in a week)!  I eloped at 19 and  lot of my friends are still single and in the party scene. I am still very excited to watch this movie and see what I missed out on not having a wedding.

I will keep everyone updated with my party posts, pictures and videos.

Whip up some delicious fun with this pizzeria set!

How many different kinds of “pizza” will your pizzeria serve up?

Includes oven, cheese sprinkler, sprinkler handle, dish, server, cutter, pan, instructions and 3 two-ounce cans and 1 five-ounce can of PLAY-DOH Brand Modeling Compound.

***My kids were so excited to be able to play with this set and immediately started taking my order. First I wanted to show them how to use it, so I made a pizza with pepperoni and broccoli.

It is very easy to set and simple to use. You put the Play-Doh on the plate and put it in the “oven” with flattens it to a crust like shape. The place it under the cheese grater for cheese topping. The shape and add any additional toppings you would like.  It even comes with a cute little pizza cutter.

New School Year=Hectic For Mom

- brandy3 1 Comment

Its a new school year, and this year I have two in school not 1. My schedule has changed very much and not for the better. Alex is enrolled in half day kindergarten, a new thing they just started this year. So I am waiting outside for a bus 3 times a day, plus having a 3 year old at home with me.

I have had a ton of opportunities knocking at my door, events at least 2 a week, and I say no to most of them. I would love to advance in this blogging career, but Family is my main priority, until I make  a decent amount of money to put my kids in day care.

Sorry Just had to vent a little bit, I am support to meet with big computer and tech companies this week, and have a great pop next, week but they are no goes.

 

I don’t know how some people do it, it’s crazy being gone at events all the time. I have come to the realization that I do love blogging and everything about it, but I am not in this “Career” to meet celebrities, or become famous.

Monday Mingle 9-12-11

- brandy3 2 Comments

well since i am still getting use to this new computer and learning how to use things, I am doing my monday mingle this week by writing.

Q:1 How often do you move furniture in your living room?

A: about every 6 months or so, it’s nice to get a new fresh look.

Q2: How do you handle hateful comments or emails? Or someone who annoys you n person?

A: Thats really hard for me, because I am a very honest and blunt person and I will not hesitate to tell someone to go F*** off. I have to just put it off and ignore the comments and emails, they can be deleted. With someone who annoys you, I would tell them I don’t want you around me right now, please just leave me alone.

Q3:ONe ting you will never blog about?

A: I really can’t think about one thing, there are topics I avoid like politics, racism etc. Sometimes my thoughts are just so strong about a topic, that I don’t care what others think and speak my mind.  an example would be gay bullying, I have no problem with gays and I got a lot of backlash for supporting it so publicly on my blog, I had to take down the posts.

Another example and this wasn’t even a hard topic. Is it right for a parent to bring their kids to a spa/salon. The writer was against it saying that salons are a time for moms to relax, not put up with kids whining/misbehaving. I responded with some parents don’t have money to get a babysitter or daycare to go to the spa, but still want a nice manicure.  It started a fire storm with bloggers, saying that if they can’t afford a babysitter they don’t need to be going to the salon etc.

I think that’s so unfair, I am low-income and don’t have a baby sitter, daycare. If I am treated to a spa day, I’m going to take it and bring my kids.

Back To School With Disney’s Shake It Up

- brandy3 1 Comment

Disney is back with another addition to the D-signed clothing line, this time they are featuring outfits from the show Shake It Up.

The CeCe and Rocky collection does not feature the characters face on it like so many other franchises do, instead the designs are influenced by both girls styles. Indie  rock with an urban dance feel, the collection features uber-trendy pieces mixing pattern and fabric, creating a fun and fearless look.  Ultra-cool rebel blacks are punched up with electric green, fuchsia and deep purple. Sequins, grommets and studs accent animal prints  and dark mottled tie dye to bring together  a perfect, dance-ready look!

We received the 2-fer striped short sleeve boxer tee in Multicolor for review.  I was a little uncomfortable at first because it’s just not really the type of thing my children wear, layering clothes and short tops. It was very cute though and my daughter loved it! You can wear the tank top as a regular shirt or add the short top over it for a layering effect.  It;s very light weight, so it won’t be to hot in the summer. We also received a pink Sequin pattern scarf with glitter, my daughter instantly fell in love with the scarf. The pink scarf is covered in glitter and is a great accessory to any outfit.

available now only at Target Stores  and online at www.Target.com in sizes 4-16

You can get the 2-fer at Target for $16.99 and the scarf for$9.99
