i am sorry to have kept you in such suspense, i was just too tired to make a post…let me tell you why.
i cleaned and cleaned…and my mom and sister helped me too.
the beds were made…the floors were mopped…clean towels were ready…
i had the privilege of hosting three women i have only "met" in blogland for an entire weekend.
we all four met each other for the first time in person on friday…at the airport!
julie, heather and sarah came to town for the cora playground dedication.
i am so glad they did….
alyssa - I’m jealous. You got your mom and sister to help you clean your house? That right there is cause for celebration! Good for you. Now send them my way!!
missye - I’ve just spent the day exploring your blog. How wonderful it is!
Thank you for sharing and inspiring. If it wasn’t pouring cats and dogs here today, my kids and I would definitely be creating masterpieces with chalk paint. Can’t wait for the sun to shine!
Laura Phelps - when I come to visit, dont worry about cleaning, please….
DreamGirlLisa - Sounds wonderful, I’m sure being a guest at your house is like staying at a resort!
carissa... brown eyed fox - ohhhhh… i love that! very fun… very special occasion!
wow… that is just so neat! SO!
julie - Thank you and your sweet and generous family for allowing us to be a part of your lives for a few days. The weekend was amazing, heartbreaking, beautiful, sad. You went above and beyond and took such good care of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
tami reed - I just moved 2 weeks ago and I need to clean my place. Laundry is already piling up! Moms work is never done.My hubby does help me, thank goodness! We had a flood here yesterday in Atlanta and my area in Lawrenceville,Ga was hit really hard.Funny thing I moved away from a beautiful house on a lake! Glad I did because that house was damaged yesterday.God has perfect timing!
duchess.of.reel - This is random I know—I’m wondering if your Etsy shop is still open? I’m finally to the point where I can focus on selecting some of your fun pillows. Can you post a link for us?
Thanks *duchess*
Renee - I’m so jealous! A clean house and girlfriend time? Sounds like heaven. xoxo
Mandi - I ran across this recipe today for quesadillas and thought of you…I haven’t cooked it yet, but it sounds delicious and EASY!
Here is it:
Slowcooker Quesadillas
-Throw chicken breasts (can be frozen), can of black beans, can of corn, can of diced tomatoes, lots of cumin, and salsa seasoning (if you have it) or a splash of salsa in slowcooker in the morning. At dinner time, scoop onto tortillas, top with cheese, and put under the broiler.
I’m cooking it tomorrow…I’ll let you know how it goes!
kasey - what a special time!
xo

Your weekend sounds wonderful!
