Valentine's Treat for You.

Ahhh, Valentine's Day...
The anticipation of Matt E. giving me a Valentine in 5th grade.
The butterflies when he actually gave me one w/ He-Man saying he'd kiss the ground I walk on.

No generic Spider Man Valentine's this year.
I made these personalized Valentine's using the photo editing software Picnik.

I took several photos of my boys then experiemented with color vs. black and white.



Thanks to "I Am Momma Here Me Roar" Blog for the idea. Tutorial found here.

The look for less in a surprising place.

I've always loved the little side table sitting next to Tia Zolden on the left of this picture.

The other day I went in to Kohl's for socks and came out with this side table.

Check out how much I paid...

I was also surprised to spot some other chic finds:

The best part is these are all at least 40% off right now.

Kohl's...who knew?!

The old west.

This is how we might look back in 1880.
However a woman wouldn't be photographed big "with child" (or with a modern A-line bob).

An short hour drive south landed us in Tombstone, AZ over the weekend.

After watching the re-enactment of the OK Corral shoot-out I decided it looked just like a heated fight between my two boys but rather, these were grown men.

Naughty words.

Ticked each other off.

Bam.

Problem solved.

A real cowboy never takes his gun off, even to sleep.

Then it was time for some real fun.
A visit to Bisbee, AZ, a charming old mining town turned hippie inhabitated / incense burning / antique stores galore little town.

I'd like to say I came home with more than just a few pictures.
Turns out hippie antique store owners don't take kindly to curious little boys.
So that was the end of that.
