FFF- Colonal Sanders? Is that you?

We've been working on eating solids recently and I am one of those moms that reads everything she can on how to do it right and then take them all and make up my own expert opinion. Well, one site said let your baby "explore" the food, feel it touch it and maybe try to put some in their mouth themselves it helps the process. So I think, "ya... I get that" and of course Miss T loves her rice cereal so far.. well... She grabbed the bowl from my hand and started slurping the rice cereal out, then decided she wanted to eat my finger too. She said it taste like chicken but I'm not sure she's had chicken yet!

Around the World

Ya'll know how I am about getting post cards from all over the world for Miss T. There's someone else that's loving our theme too... She's getting blogs from all around the world.. what a great idea.. lets help out..




I know some of you crazy gals out there live not far from me but far enough to count so help a sistah out

what a good time.

Read it all.. I'm ramblin again but it could benefit you!

I am thinking of having a contest... The Walmart by me is going to stop selling fabric and I went a little nutty buying some (ok, a lot but who's judging?) so my spending habit could be your gain...
I am thinking 3 prizes... (in no special order)
1. a doll.. (stuffing included)
2. a bag (cute and what I use in my charity work)
3. a plastic bag grabber (everyone has too many bags in the kitchen not to need one)

Thoughts? tell me if you think it's dumb or what..


(Yes Aunties get special prizes if they want any of the above.. but theres going to be some seriously cute aprons made for this year)


Isn't this the cutest thing ever!!
Betz White made a laptop case that I just love!

Tricia Needs...

Ok, I stopped in to say hi to Z's mom today and she had this thing on her page that I used to do in my training class and tell people it was a Fortune Teller and if they did well we could tell fortunes at the end of class.. So here goes..

Go to Google and entered "(your name)" + the word "needs" and hit enter.....
Here are my results....

Tricia Needs...

Tricia needs constant assistance to meet her personal care - does this include a personal shopper and cook?
Tricia needs to move back in with her parents - again I say, personal cook? anyone?
Tricia needs major help! - Well I never!
Tricia needs a rest from me. - not so sure if that means I have multiple personalities or if there is another person I need a rest from.
Tricia needs a CAT. - no not so much, I feed enough people here, can we go back to the personal chef?
Tricia needs to pee - uh, I just did but thanks... oh, wait, maybe I do need to pee...???
Tricia needs to get a lawyer and see how much she can get from the old man. - HAHAHHAA he's not worth anything without me!
Tricia needs affection, stability and devotion, not charm and empty words. - Amen Sistah! you tellum!
Tricia needs help, needs therapy, not the electric chair. ... - Gulp.. lets not go to far here people
Tricia Needs Our Prayers - aww thanks, can you pray for that cook and maybe some ice cream too?
Tricia needs to realise that while her exes flaws are made public, so is her act of craziness. - dang, I didn't know I was so popular!
Tricia needs to stop talking & copying Tyra Banks - Fierce!!!
and that's all Tricia needs. ... you can say that again
