Real Housewives of Ellensburg

One of my guilty pleasures are shows like The Real Housewives of Orange County and the like. In this show "real" housewives (complete with plastic surgery, nannies, mansions and 100,000 cars) live out their exotic daily lives. I love to see how fancy they get on a daily basis and the petty drama that plagues their daily lives. 
In my reality things are a bit different. 

Everyone eats Life cereal for breakfast - and loves it. 


We celebrate the little things, like the last Friday of second grade. Oh silly brothers. 


The face that Warner makes when he is trying to be funny. 


Lincoln covering his eyes during the smooching scene of Rio at Family Movie Night at the elementary school. No racy stuff here. 


Oh wait, I do get all fancy every now and then. This is the real housewives of Ellensburg. My local MOPS group put on an end of the year masquerade ball as a fun night for couples. We got to get dressed up and dance the night away. No acrylic nails or blow outs, but it was fun to put on a pair of heels for once. 

Wow, Shane sure cleans up good!


One way to get in some beauty sleep, I let Lincoln put a sheet of stickers on my arm so I could lay down on the couch for five minutes. He thought it was pretty awesome. 

Warner decided that rather than cry over spilled milk, he would just slurp it off of his tray. 

Dylan, my little rock climber. As a fun way to end the school year, they bring in a mobile climbing wall and each class gets turns trying it out. Look at that determination.

All three boys playing during recess. They are all getting TOO big. 

So there you have it. Nothing glamorous, but this is what real housewives do all day.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

We love chicken in our house because it is yummy, very versatile and somewhat affordable. It is also Shane's meat of choice for his "tone and sculpt" plan. (ok so I just love how special he is and really I am not making fun of him)  I generally try to find boneless, skinless chicken for less than $2 a pound. These days it is getting increasingly difficult, even looking into Zycon or Costco so when I found some for $2.30/lb I got all the had... two packages. I frozen one because Shane will BBQ that for lunches on the weekend. With the other package, which I think was about 3.5 pounds or 5/6 breasts, I was able to look on the monthly menu plan and figure out what chicken type dinners I had coming up and chop from there. Since the breasts are usually very thick I slice them in half, like a top and bottom part. Then I either chopped up into bite sized pieces or froze whole. For less than $9 in chicken I made four meals that will serve at least two adults and two children. ...

To Infinity and Beyond

Well beyond five years that is. February 22 marks our first date and somehow Shane even remembered that. Since I feel like a crumb-bum of a wife lately I set up a special little thing to show him how much these last five years have actually meant to me. (I get that it isn't our wedding anniversary but any day can be special so I wanted to make this special too) I wrote him a little love letter and put out five things that are meaningful in our relationship together, quite the mishmash if you ask me, but it works. In no particular order: 1. Motley Crue - We we to our first concert together over the summer to see Shane's favorite band and I got to get my 80's on while he got to relive the glory days. 2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - We went to see this movie with our nephews for our first official date. I think it's sweet that now the boys watch it all the time. 3. Coffee - We have shared many conversations, hours, and events all while drinking coffee. We both love it ...

Crafty Christmas Inexpensive Gifts

I was going to say cheap gifts... but hopefully the receiver of the gift doesn't think so, so inexpensive to me just means that the person giving would rather spend time on thought rather than money, right? So here are just a few of the things I have been up to lately... Still have a few more ideas to finish but I am getting close and with only 18 days left, it's about time! Iron on transfers. I love them. They are so fun! And I love personalizing things. So my previous experiences haven't been 100% great with transfers but hey I'm not selling my stuff to the public so I think it's ok. I used them to make two tote bags (luckily the receiver of the aunt bag below is not my sister Jackie... so don't get your hopes up!) a super hero cape and a baby gift. If you search printable transfers or iron-ons there are tons of cute ideas everywhere. Next time I buy transfer paper I am getting clear though because the white didn't work as great as I had hoped but sti...
