• Boldify Root Boosting Spray!!

    Root spray can

    Remember last month I told you I was seriously contemplating just going gray?  I was going to channel my inner Carol (from The Walking Dead).  Well, I did it. Then I chalked it up to yet another one of those things that I did not completely think all the way through. Things I ask myself now AFTER I cut my hair: # 1. Really? BEFORE the holidays?!  Before Christmas photos??  REALLY!?!? # 2. You have thin hair. You have thin, stick straight hair. WHY would you cut it this short?? # 3. Really? BEFORE the holidays?!  Before Christmas photos??  REALLY!?!? # 4. You have no curl to your hair, it’s never gonna look like Carols! # 5. Really? BEFORE the holidays?!  Before Christmas photos??  REALLY!?!? Okay, hindsight being as excellent as it is, that doesn’t change the fact that even my gal pal Deb, miracle hairdresser that she is, can’t fix this one!! Only time. In the last couple of weeks my hair has grown out a little, it’s still really short but, I’m not still shocked when I see my reflection! There are a few perks to having super short hair, first my natural hair color will show itself soon. It also…

  • Holiday Yard Light Show!

    Holiday yard light designs

    I’ve always wanted a light show up on the house around Christmas; however; (this is a biggie!) I HATE HEIGHTS!!! I hate ladders. So my worst fears are number 1 going up and down the ladder several times to get the lights UP on the house. Basically, it’s not going to happen!Then the whole bring them back DOWN or just leave ’em up and be THAT house on the block. So when I found the Lawn Lamp I knew I had the best of both worlds!!six year old Alice went NUTS when this arrived. This is how lazy we are after arguing over homework (trust me the girl can hold her own in arguing!! Today?? Today’s demand for a sheet of math being completed was met with “WHY DO YOU HATE ME!?!?” Lord help me, the kid is only six!! I better be in Sandpoint, Idaho before this kid is 13!! So, back to lazy, we are in fact so tired, lazy (whatever!) that we stretch out on The Non’s bed and watch the different slides, then there is always a ‘guess which slide’ is next game. Then when it’s time for The Daddy to pick up the kid we…

  • HELLO Sunday!! Meet The Newest Peanut! Jamie Burkhalter!

    So, last Sunday I made an executive decision to use this day to share photos that The Husband sends from Sandpoint, Idaho. Which IN MY head sounded like the greatest post collection E-V-E-R!  Now, my regular little Peanuts know that I did not just get dubbed Rattle-brained Connie Sue from my Grandma, I EARNED that title. Yeah……….. The Husband is as I type in his truck headed back to Vista, CA. Ummmm but, honey! Pictures!? What now?! Well, I decided to have a guest poster on Sundays. Someone new to the Assulym of Peanut Butter And Whine. So Everyone… this is Jamie…. Jamie this is well, everyone!! From picking up Alice at Kindergarten last year and ever since, I have been infatuated (I think kids these days… HAHAHA!! How old do I sound right now!?!?!) call it a girl crush. I didn’t really fit-in with the MOM’s at school (obviously) and I never really clicked with the Grandma’s either. However, this one Mom (spoiler alert it’s Jamie) just had this GLOW! She has the happiest eyes. Seriously, she is one of those people that when she smiles you SMILE!! The day she arrived looking as tired as I felt I approached…
