Yikes. Ran out of time to get the 5QF Sneak Peek up, had to get to watch a school play, fold clothes, make lunch, wash laundry, fold laundry, get to work...sheesh, what a day!!

Anyway, I'll post this as soon as I finish, so any of you late nighters/early risers have a chance to get your posts up!



Today is my baby bro's birthday...in a couple of months, he will be moving out of state to attend dental school for three years. THREE YEARS!!!! Crazy.

He's growing up.

Okay, right to the questions!

1. Do you have a doppelgänger?

2. Do you keep your car cleaned up?

3. What is a current fashion that drives you crazy.

4. How often do you go grocery shopping?

5. What has been the best surprise of your life?

-------------------------------------------------------


1. Do you have a doppelgänger?

My dad just informed me that yes, I do, and she lives in the next big town over.

He said he was at the (dentist? mechanic? salon? I can't remember) and there was someone there that looked just like me and had my same mannerisms, right down to the eye rub that I never knew I did!

Crazy. I always wonder if people "recognize" their own doppelganger? You know, say I saw that some woman as my dad did, would I think "OMG! She looks like me?!" or do you not recognize your own features in someone else?

My baby girl has been doppelganged (can I verb that?) as a mini Reese Witherspoon. I've had so many people tell me that and then a barista at Caribou stopped in her tracks the other day and was all, "Oh my gosh. You are a tiny Reese Witherspoon!"...cracked me up! I've never had random strangers tell me that!


2. Do you keep your car cleaned up?

Um. Ahem. Ah. No.

Not at all.

I feel like I'm always responsible for bringing so much stuff in (purse, keys, mail, coffee cup, kids) that I don't have enough arm space to clean up the crap.

And my kids aren't good about it either. I don't really so much care, unless I'm driving someone around, then I try to get it cleaned up...and go get my oil changed at WalMart, cuz they give you a complimetary vacuum! Boom.


3. What is a current fashion that drives you crazy.

Ugh. So many. Skinny jeans, flowy shirts, hats...and only because I can't pull them off.

I love them on other people, but they just don't work on me!

Also, skinny jeans on men. Gross.

4. How often do you go grocery shopping?

I used to try to do one big grocery trip a month, then I had a whole slew of kids and grocery shopping with them became so much of a chore that I just avoided it and began just running in for "one or two things for supper" here and there when my oldest kids got old enough to hang out in the vehicle with the younger ones.

I know, Mother of the Year. But the oldest was old enough to baby sit, so I figure, really, he was just babysitting, in the car.

Or, at least, that's how I saw/see it! ;)


5. What has been the best surprise of your life?

I am going to say my oldest and youngest child. They were the biggest surprises of my life...my youngest seeming almost more so, sometimes...and I am so overwhelmed with joy that it sometimes makes me a little teary.

As many of you probably know, I really struggled when I found out I was pregnant with my baby girl. I was overwhelmed and tired and stressed and I just didn't think I could do it again.

And then? Well, then she turned out to be the perfect finale for our family. The icing on the cake. The most amazingly wonderful, spunky, stubborn, grumpy little love bug that I never knew I needed.

I thank God that he knew better than I did about what I REALLY needed.

Excuse me now, I need to go snuggle my baby.

--------------------------------------------------

Have a wonderful weekend!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized!
