My new project for the baby shower decorations is Baby Blocks.  DH cut blocks for me after which I spray painted them a pretty soft green….. you know…. the colors of the baby’s room… UMMMM HUMMMM Until the colors were changed last week to Brown and Pink. I’m thinking I will lightly stain the corners of the blocks in pinks and browns (we’ll see what kind of a mess I can make with those!!) So these aren’t done…. just in progress. I saw the cutest idea with paper dolls and blocks so the blocks have letters, dogs, paw prints, hearts and paperdolls! So here is what I have finished so far.  (some of the blocks are still wet from the decoupage so the block colors look a little dull right now.) Now trying to decide what I want to write with the blocks (These are table decoration for the baby shower) Now my 3 beautiful children will be here together for the shower…. when they are together I KNOW already with no uncertain terms the blocks will not spell out what I have them spell ….. but for the first few minutes this will be a cute decorations.  Hummmmmm note to self hide the u…

I have such a funny story from my son Zachary it’s still crackin’ me up. I laughed till I was crying I only hope I can write it as funny as Zac was telling it. Zac’s neighbor Keith is 100% a crack up.  Zac and Keith have been friends since Zac moved to this house last year.  I don’t think Keith owns a clock or a watch though. Zac gets off work, settles in on the couch and starts watching TV,  falls asleep.  His phone wakes him up…. Zac figures he’s only been asleep a few minutes, he answers the phone, it’s Keith K “Hey, you got a half a cup of flour I can have? I’m making cookies” Z “No, I don’t have any flour” K “Just a half a cup” Z “Keith I don’t have ANY flour” K “Okay I’ll be right over” Z looks at his phone and ‘wtf?’ So Zac goes out side to have a cigarette, looks at his phone and realizes it’s 12:30 at night!! Here comes Keith marching like he is leading a marching band down the street with a bright red half cup measuring cup (Keith lives RIGHT DIRECTLY across the street…. yet he is coming from the top of the hill with…

Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal. I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup. While…

I’ve been overwhelmed and the tinest bit grumpy (just don’t ask my kids or DH for that matter! JUST how grumpy!)
