A quick weekend blurb

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I know we definitely did.
Sunday Mornings in East Texas
It was fairly busy, however definitely worth it. Lets just say after the first evening this little muffin was already wiped out.

On Friday, we packed up everyone (my husband, myself, and our two puppies) and went to East Texas to go see my husband's family for my niece's first birthday party. We got to send some nice quality time with my mother-in-law and his brother and family. I also got the most amazing crocheted baby afghan and an adorable glow in the dark bug t-shirt from her for Reuben!

Oh! Side note: Our first little muffin-lette Reuben is due in February for this coming year.Unlike me, he's not a very sleepy little guy and is fairly active right now. We just can't wait to include him in all the adventures we have.

my husband Randall with the buffalo
Speaking of adventures.......my husband was trying to pick a fight with the poor buffalo head at a Mexican restaurant we went to Saturday night. I think it ended in a stalemate.If it weren't for my husband, my life would be so boring. That's part of why I love him so much.

So, later on our way home, we were planning on swinging by the Texas State Veggie Fair (http://texasstateveggiefair.com/) at White Rock Lake.  As we got closer to home we decided to pass on it after all since we had already been on the road for 3 hours or so and we needed to get the puppies home. Sigh.....there's always next year.

Did I mention that I got some vintage bedding from my mom for Roo this weekend also?!? I was so thrilled when she showed me all the goodies she had saved when my brother and I were infants - I had a hard time choosing which pieces I wanted. I think if I could I'd squirrel away each and every piece. She had this amazing jungle print set from Ward's that was brand new in the package still that I snatched up in an instant. Yay! I'll definitely be posting a few pictures of them when she's able to get them to me.

That's all I have for now,

Have a great week everyone!

A Muffin-y Introduction

Hey Everyone!

The Sleepy Muffin here, and thanks for taking the time to read my blog! I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I plan to enjoy writing them. Right now I'm planning on writing about Pinterest ideas, food related topics, local events, and basically anything else that catches my eye. 

Since I also I love being able to put a personal, more unique touch on things in my home so I'll most likely write about DIY projects I've completed and my adventures at thrift stores as well.

So what actually motivates a muffin to get up from her nap and write a blog?

Well, after some encouragement from my husband, I decided to share my passions and interests here. He insisted after we got married that I was creative and that tended to create a monster cause the quantity of projects and ideas I came up with exploded. I honestly feel bad for him cause I often hear him muttering "Your crafting stuff is EVERYWHERE" fairly often. Although I drive him crazy with my tendency to leave project supplies all over the house, he is truly my biggest fan and supporter. This blog really isn't possible without him (maybe since I said all that sweetly he'll take me to go get some pie, he he).  

That being said, I'm actually ready to go to sleep again. Until next time!
