Trunk-or-Treat!

So it's technically not yet Halloween, but we had the annual Trunk-or-Treat tonight.  Our new church building also has a pavilion outside equipped with picnic tables so this year we also had dinner before the 'trunk-or-treating' began.  Potluck, buffet style chili dinner, cornbread and other misc. sides...mmmm good. We waited in line, struggled through the line-me carrying Brynlynn, Brent serving up two bowls while both dodging little lego men, princesses and so on.  Once we finally made it to our seats and sat down....
Chili went all over the floor and Brent...

She did, however, manage to scoop some of the chili and Fritos before they fell and get a good taste.  (I couldn't help but laugh because of a scene from Mr. Mom where the baby gets a can of chili..."You can't feed a baby chili!"; again, another Mr. Mom reference...seriously watch the movie if you haven't seen it and/or don't remember that scene!)
No biggie.  We cleaned it up, shared a bowl, then commenced to get some candy!  And we were smart enough (for once) to get some pictures BEFORE the food and activities.  WARNING: Pictures below are extremely cute.  Proceed slowly to not overwhelm yourself.

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale & Dups!

I can't believe it's already here!! THE annual Nordstrom sale!! Christmas in July! 😂 Are you one of the many who get excited for the sale or do you not really care?  I love a good sale, for sure! If there is anything I've had my eye on, I like to make sure I check out the sale to see if it made the cut!  As I type this, I'm off and on Amazon and my Target app because it's Amazon Prime Day! ....ahhh how that commercialism gets me!!😂 It does seem weird to start buying boots, booties, cardigans and jackets in July--especially in Texas!  Buuut I try to keep in mind that if it's something I will need in the winter and it's cheaper to buy it now, it's worth it!! Plus, all the sales in July can help get some gift buying done (super early!!) & then it doesn't hurt so much come November and December, right? #justificationprocess So, for those of you not consuming your days scrolling the sale items and cross referencing them across multiple sites...
