Simple Saturday: B

today's Simple Saturday is brought to you by the letter B

a few simple things that make me happy:

good BEER, a good BOOK, and my comfy BED!

 a note about the book pictured

i recently started following  

The Pioneer Woman's blog 

and then saw her book out...

(i read it around valentine's since it is "a love story")

i enjoyed it.

random note about me and books:

i prefer to take the paper cover off of hardback books.

the cover is cute...

but the book itself is beautiful!

happy weekend!

random-extra friday post

i think i want to change the name of my blog.
i dont like it.
but i cant think of anything else...
maybe "Daily(ish) Dose of the Dunfords"
eh, i dont know.
...also i dont know if i even can change it now!?!?
hmmmm?!?!

Friday Favorites: Flops

this is NOT a new favorite.

i have loved flops for as long as i can remember.

(in fact i have had these particular flops

since my freshman year of college...

the left thong has been sewn back together

bc a friend's cat chewed it one night...

so they are pretty rough looking,

but have been formed to my foot

which makes them super comfy)

i am so excited that we have had some days

that are warm enough to wear flops...

in other news, i need a pedicure!

Thankful Thursday: Technology

i am NOT a phone person.

i am  not a big fan of talking on the phone.

i am so thankful for 

text messaging,

email, 

and 

facebook.

...without those things i would have 

very little communication 

with friends and family!

Want It Wednesday: My Quotable Kid

this week is another realistic

Want It Wednesday!

i think this book is such a great idea...

sbj is already saying some hilarious things,

so im sure it will only get better as he gets older!

find it on google!

Outrageous, poignant, or bitingly witty the things our children say always offer an unexpected glimpse into a world that is all their own. Filled with roomy pages for jotting down conversations or overheard saying, this handsome keepsake journal also features a bound-in photo window for adding a unique, personal touch. Whether parents prefer safely stowing precious insights for future generations or sharing priceless quips with family and friends, My Quotable Kid will become a lasting record of a child's most memorable quotes.

______________Tuesday: More Love

i enjoy themes.

that is pretty much the only reason i like valentines day.

here are few more pics

of us spreading the love on vday...

in the morning, we crafted with sbj's girlfriendS

(yes, he was the only male with 11 females- ages 3 weeks to 30+)

 for dinner, i made heart-shaped food!

 i wish i could have a fun-theme for everyday...haha...

Muffin Tin Monday: MIA

it is only week 2 

of Muffin Tin Monday

 and i am already behind.

:(

i have been MIA

the past few days bc

i went to atlanta for 

a fun weekend with 

my mother in law,

sister in law,

and some family friends.

it was fabulous.

while gone,

i picked up

2 new muffin tins....

so we are ready

for next week.

happy monday!

Thankful Thursday: Minivan?!?!?!

like my sweet new ride?

ha.

NOT!

i am not a minivan-mom

(and hope to never be one!?!?)

but i AM thankful for this particular minivan...

it is my mother in laws.

i am driving it for the next few days

because my mother in law is driving my car.

why, you ask...

because she has my child!

sbj is getting some gg-time

and i am getting some get-r-dun-time!

woowoo!

now THAT is something to be THANKFUL for!

Want It Wednesday: Muffin Tins

remember Muffin Tin Monday?

well, i discovered what to do for 

 Want It Wednesday

my current muffin tin is too...

uhhh...

not cute? ha!

also i thought it had just 6 cups,

but it has like 8048....

or 12, 

but still that is too many for us.

so i am on the look out for a cute, smaller muffin tin....

or 2 or 3 or 4! 

_______________ Tuesday: Love

continuing the valentine's theme of the week...

it is Titleless Tuesday 

when i share fun bits of random good stuff.

so, let's talk about some sweet love i got from the hubs and sbj.

 it began when they snuck off to the store 

to get all the ingredients for

"mommy's fav'rite"

 they got home and started dumping the love right in...

then they mixed some more love in...

 then they baked all the love together...

after that, they spread some more love on top...

(sbj even left a few finger marks)

finally, we all got to enjoy the love together.

i hope your valentine's day was

sweet

and 

full of love!

Muffin Tin Monday: Vday

i have combined these 2 onto one chain...

these are special to me because the big heart is from the hubs

which is the #1 killer of women.

so please love yourself and love your heart.

happy?!?! groundhogs day

i REALLY want him to listen and bring us hope for spring!

i need more of this...
