Crocs


I used to hate Crocs.
I could never understand why anyone would spend their hard-earned money on rubber, fugly shoes.
I was shocked when my Mom actually wore hers in public.
I swore I would never wear them....ever.

Until I tried them on.
And wore them for abit.
My feet fell in love with them.

My almost 37 year old, high arched, bony, long, skinny feet made themselves at home and let me know that I should wear them more often.

I now wear them every day as "slippers".

Because our home is full of hardwood and tile and my almost 37 year old, high arched, bony, long, skinny feet need comfort.

And I have almost convinced myself that I should actually wear them in public.

Stuff I Love

I don't know about anyone else, but when I search online for gifts for other people I spend more time looking at stuff I love.
It's a sickness.
So, as a favour to you and a way to delete some of my bookmarks, I am posting some stuff I love.
This is only the beginning of many, because, well, I have issues and apparently want alot of stuff to fill my house.
Yes, I like love and happiness and all of that mushy crap, but a few camera accessories/pairs of shoes/books etc would make me happy too.
Anyways, lets start............
Owls.  I like them alot.  Not real owls because they kinda scare me but anything with a cute little owl like the one on this bracelet catches my attention.
Owl bracelet
Horses.  Apparently I am a horse person now that we have Ike and Duke destroying our property.  Yes, I am allergic but I still kiss them on the mouth, because they are cute and I love them.   Anyways, I want one of these chalkboard horses.  But it must be a Percheron so it is big and I can write lotsa stuff on it.
{btw, I think "lotsa" should be a real word.  And "kinda" too}
Chalkboard horse
Dogs.  I love my stinky Studley, but I sure would like one of these lil' guys.  I think I would name him Dudley...
or Luther.
West Highland Terrier

I.Want.A.Lens.Like.This
One that can be used for portraits, scenery and everything else in between.
Thanks

I do not read enough books but vow to start spending more time relaxing instead of cleaning.
So I plan on pre-ordering this book by Stephanie Nielson.
If you don't know her story, you should.
If you want to know I can fill you in because I follow her blog like a stalker.

I am not a big jewellery person, but if it has owls or is personalized in some way, I am hooked.
I would like one of these with a "v" please and thank you.

There are many signs that tell me I am getting old, but when I want a pair of ugly lined clogs to wear as slippers around my house, it just confirms it.
My feet get sore walking on hardwood and tile floors all day, so I want something that is comfortable. 
Ugh.
Before I know it, I will be asking for granny panties.

So there you have it my friends.

Stay tuned for more.
Now tell me what you love so I can add it to my bookmarks.

Fall Fashion Must-Haves

I am not sure if you knew this but I am totally up with all of the latest fashion trends.
Just because I am a stay at home mom who lives her life in jeans and work out clothes doesn't mean I am out of touch with the world of fashion.
Duh.

So, because I am all cool and stuff, I thought I would share with you the items of clothing every female must have for the fall season.  I went searching on Pinterest....my favourite website ever, for everything you need to max out your credit cards.  But at least you will look good. 

Chunky sweater.  Buy one in every colour.  I would like one in green or orange....or blue or pink....or purple.
sweater
Ballet flats. Buy a pair for every day {and night} of the week.
flats
A scarf. There are so many styles now. So just buy one of each to make sure you look all cool and stuff.
scarf
Anything with ruffles. Oh Em Gee I love ruffles. They make me happy. They make me feel girly. Buy anything you see that is all ruffly and people will be jealous.
ruffles
A stylish bag/purse. I would like one to match every mood.
purse
Simple, black platform heels. Just because they go with everything. I recommend also buying a bright coloured pair just so you can stand out when you wear that simple black dress.
heels
Jeans. Make sure you have skinny jeans and flare.

Boots. If you don't have a pair, you are a loser. But I am sure you are a really nice loser.
boots
 Sweater. Make sure you buy one of every style in every colour, just because they look so amazing with jeans and boots/flats.
cardigan
Cozy socks. Need I say more.
socks

Now get out there and get everything you need to fit in with the cool crowd this fall.  While you're out, buy me one of each, please and thank you.

Thanks to the stylish wannabes on Pinterest for making me realize I am old, out of style and poor.

I bet Mama Kat has all of this stuff!

FASHION ALERT! FASHION ALERT!




Havent you heard?
There is a new "must wear" for every frazzled, rushed, stressed out mom!
Are you rushing to get out of the house?
Are your kids whining as you lock the door?
Did you forget your purse?
Have alot on your mind?

Well, wear what I wore yesterday as I headed out with the three kidlets for haircuts and back to school shopping.

People will look.
People will stare.
People will whisper.


People will probably talk about you after you leave.

Go ahead.

I dare you.





Yes, I wore two different sandals. Well, the same but different colours.
No, I did not notice until I was sitting down at the hair salon.

I know.


You wish you were me.

Sunday Citar







I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things. Graham Coxon




Shoes are beautiful things. In my perfect world I would have a "shoe room" full of many, many pairs of shoes and shoe pictures on the walls. They would be nicely organized and I would have a comfy chair so I could just sit and admire my shoes.


If I don't have a room like that, maybe Princess will and I can rent some space.


We can both admire our shoes.

Heaven.
