Not your typical Thanksgiving post...

I sit here, groggy and tired. I am full and trying to catch up on my Google Reader. I am going to make this short and sweet...

I wanted to do a full on "What I am Thankful For" posts but I am barely awake to function, much less to make a heartfelt post. Instead, I will leave you with a picture or two.

This is how we roll on Thanksgiving night...

(You must click this picture and make it larger...then read the note I added.)

This ones for the girls....

...girls who wear mineral make-up.

I love Bare Minerals. I have worn their products for nearly four years now and will never go back. One downside to having it is you have little containers of all your minerals in your make-up bag. Not good.

I just wanted to share what a fellow blogger found...The Minerals Case!

For all you other mineral lovers...how handy is this?! All you would need is a small separate bag for your brushes and other small pieces of make-up and you are set!

Now if only I had enough Bare Minerals to fill it!

Wordless Wednesday: Christmas Card Outtake

Macie looks terrified of what might happen if she does not smile and Zoa is just plain mad!

Kitchen Tip Tuesday: Not so sloppy "Sloppy Joes"

We love Sloppy Joes around our house but my {almost} five year old is a texture kid...meaning she is weird about getting icky stuff on her hands. My menu for this week included Sloppy Joes and it reminded me of a tip to share.

My readers may remember a few months ago when I told you that we used hot dog buns for our Sloppy Joes. Don't break the bun apart completely...leave that little connected part connected. Just scoop the mixture into the bun and serve!

This has helped our girls stay a bit cleaner during dinnertime and they get to eat all the Sloppy Joe mixture...instead of half of it ending up on their plate!
