The Kentucky Thalman's

Jackson got his 1st hair cut 2 weeks ago.  It was a little too short for me because you could see his scars on his head but it has grown some and has grown on me also.  I now look back at his long shaggy, curly hair.  Holy Moly! He looked like he had a wig on!  He did so well! I probably won't go back to the place again though because the experience while waiting for his hair cut was awful! Some mom holding down her 2 year old while he was screaming bloody murder about how he wanted to stop and go home and kicking and yelling at the barber stop, while she held him down also.  Plus it was $15 not including tax or tip! But he did get to sit in a cute air plane and held mostly still until the end when he was done. This week a tried another recipe from my "recipes to try".  It was AWFUL! and it even had bacon in it! First off, you are supposed to cook noodles, reserve some water, drain noodles, and then add water back in.  Doesn't sound like a big deal, but t

P.R.B.B.  Pinterest Recipe board binge My husband asked me randomly "What percentage of the recipes you have pinned on your recipe board have you actually made?"  I guessed 30%.  He thought it was more 3%.   I'm sure most of you are like me and pin away and sometimes don't get to doing most of the things you have pinned.  I have made quite a few recipes and have even done of the cleaning tips.  One day, I hope to do the fun crafts on there too! But starting last week I have decided to make at least but not limited to 1 recipe a week from my board. I'm also going to break up my boards into "Need to try", "Pinterest Fail" (Already have one of these) and "Recipes going in the books". Now I have actually calculated how many I have made on my recipes board.   I have 351 pins.  I have made 81. That's 23%.  In your face husband! =) Well I noticed while doing this that I have A LOT of desserts and drinks.  Also,

Jackson turned 1 about a month ago. Seriously, where has the time gone?? The day after his party I left for vacation so I haven't blogged about that or even the awesomeness of my little man.  First the party! We did a combined birthday with his friend Sophia who turned 1 the day after him.  Her theme was Sesame Street, which is why some of the food and decorations have that.  Jackson's was Mustache Bash and I had SO much fun making things for it.  It was HARD work though and a lot of time and thought.  Bummer, cause he won't remember a thing =) First, Decorations.  I got most of my ideas from pinterest and then made them my own. Jackson's Table. Props for the photo booth I made   This sign was made by a lady in my church.  Turned out JUST how I wanted and costs $60 less than they were charging on Etsy! The Cake.  Ok.  This cake took me 4 days to make!  This cake recipe 3, 6 inch layers blue and gree This marshmallow fo
