Last week was a crazy week with school activities and junkin'. On Wednesday night a neighbor a couple streets over announced in one of the Maumelle Facebook groups she would have a garage sale with vintage items. I went the first time and picked up a Pyrex bowl...
It has been a crazy busy week so far. On Sunday the boys and I attempted to take a family photo but Joshua decided to not join us and hold his sign backwards. He is such a stinker! On Monday, Jim's (Santa) estate auction came to a close and I got some great things to...
The boys had their yearly Toad Suck Daze petting zoo experience last weekend. I ordered a gyro and sat on the sidewalk while watching the boys catch bunnies, chickens, roosters, ducks, pot-bellied pigs, puppies, and goats. We probably could have visited the animals...
Bella Rustina was a success last weekend. During the show Joshua asked multiple times for money for food and I finally realized he was buying crochet animals sometimes. I gave him money for the first couple, but by the end of the weekend he had a whole family of...
It's show week! Exhibitors brought some great stuff into the Conway Expo Center today. It's my 80th show and 10th anniversary of Bella Rustina. Of course everything is crazy like usual because I like to change things up. I got the last-minute idea to have 10th...
Today I went to the funeral of a good friend. Jim Payseno lived in Maumelle and made a difference in so many people's lives over the years. He was Santa to my boys every year during the Lion's Club "Pancakes with Santa" event. What's funny is we saw Jim...

Last week Caleb video-called me on his way home from a ski trip in Colorado and I couldn't believe my eyes. He had the silliest tan ever because he got sunburned while skiing! His goggles protected his eyes, but the sun got him good from his cheeks-down. Thankfully...
Another home project is almost complete. For a month or so I dog-sat a beautiful, sweet, gray pit bull. Since having kittens has gone so well, I wanted to see what it would be like to have a dog too. I quickly found out I'm far too busy for a dog. She made it a game...
