Party Planning Push

With my darling hubby's birthday just days away, I'm in a crunch! See... hubby didn't have many birthday parties growing up & I'm a HUGE fan of them. My belief: We are on this Earth for our allotted time & are BLESSED with every day & every year God grants us. WE SHOULD CELEBRATE & show how GRATEFUL we are to be alive. I'm all for a birthday party. Sooo.....several months ago I decided that hubby needs a birthday party this year. Of course, with a new baby in our lives, adjusting to our family changes, dealing with other relatives, AND moving during the past few weeks, my party planning had to hit the back-burner. By the time I was settled down enough to get back to party planning, I realized how close it is.

MY TIME IS SUPER LIMITED.

Here I am, struggling to think of cheap (because we just moved & are on a tight budget in order to save money to buy land, build a house, etc.), easy (because I'm a mom & my time is divided between my husband, kids, & housework), & even free-(because...well...duh)-decorations & other party preparations. He wants his Bud Light, hot wings, & poppers. I'm seeing a bigger picture. And...

Why the heck am I blogging right now? I don't have time for this!!! Bye! Gone to plan.

Anxiously Awaiting the Eleventh

Hi, my name is Kayla & I'm addicted to Pinterest.


I can't help it. I just find so much on there! Over the next several weeks, I plan to collect as many craft supplies as possible. I want to build my stockpile! I know I'll be stopping by a few flea markets in search of buttons, scarves, & a few other cheap items...

But right now I'm stuck on the food! We've moved & I don't currently have my own kitchen. I'm living with a bare minimum of kitchen supplies & it's driving me crazy! I haven't cooked in weeks & I'm really missed it. Soooo...my darling husband & I will be cooking next Saturday night, Feb 11 - the night before my birthday! I'm so looking forward to that!!!!!

First Post of 2012

Ahhh, it's been a while. So much going on!  Michael Grady is just over 11 weeks old & time is flying fast!!! We've been so busy over the last several weeks, but things are slowing down a bit...finally! The kids are enjoying school; I'm enjoying time with the baby; my handsome man is enjoying work (for now). All is well in the Harrell Household. Except...we're not in our own house. We dealt with mildew and mold, the baby got sick, and we spent a few nights in the hospital because of it. We moved out and into something temporary and are looking for a new place. Hope we find one soon!
