1. I’m driving to Charlotte today with both boys. That’s part of our new bi-monthly routine for Hayes’s doc band check ups. But Hayes is actually receiving his doc band today. I have no clue how this will go and I am just nervous about having Hudson there with us. And TC can’t come with us. We’ll be fine. Just fighting those little bears.
2. I picked up a super cute little tee shirt for Hudson from Crew Cuts. It’s for St. Patrick’s Day and says “Erin Go Bragh.” I really wish I could have purchased it in my size, but they didn’t have it in my size. So poor Hudson will get to wear it to the big St. Patrick’s Day festival parade.
3. Hayes has another devil of an ear infection. He received two rounds of rocephin already and will receive the third shot today. After he gets his doc band. Poor fella. We visited the ENT doctor yesterday and we scheduled his surgery to get tubes. We’re all looking forward to the relief for Hayes.
4. It is extremely dangerous to leave a container of Pillsbury frosting in the refrigerator.
5. What is going on with American Idol? Can anyone other than Randy Jackson offer an ounce of criticism? You’re a judge. Judge them! These folks are not that good. A couple of them are good, but not all of them. Not even half of them. I will say that I am pleased that the ones I liked made it through. If the judges can’t figure it out, at least the voting public can. This is why we prefer watching The Voice.
6. Hudson has been singing, “Get in the ark it’s going to rain. A rat-a-tat-tat and a bump-bump-bump, Noah built a great big ark. Here come the animals two by two.” He lines up all of his little animals and marches them around, making all the appropriate sounds. But, y’all, he’d sing it for hours if we didn’t start suggesting other songs. But it sure is cute!
7. I need to do a better job of taking off my eye makeup. But I’m a mascara picker. It’s the worst habit!
8. I need to work on some projects for Hayes’s party, which means I need to figure out how to make table toppers out of oil cloth. Pinterest to the rescue!
9. A really kind reader asked if I could do a post about spring fashion for moms. I don’t really feel qualified to write about that because I’m just so challenged in the wardrobe department these days. But if this is something y’all are interested in, I’ll definitely share some of my favorite things for spring. Anyone interested?
10. I am making these crack potatoes from Plain Chicken this weekend. Hallelujah. Amen.
Poor Hayes with the constant ear infections (and poor Mama!). I hope your trip to Charlotte goes smoothly!
Good luck today with Cranial Tech & the ENT! Praying that Hayes has an easy transition into his band. Also praying for safe travels in this stormy weather. Have a great weekend!
I’d love to see your take on spring fashion. Every time you post one of your outfits I really like it.
I would love to hear about your spring tips for moms! I’m a new mom and nothing makes me feel more like a real member of society than getting dressed in ‘real’ clothes! I’m going to have to check out that potato recipe 🙂
Slightly new here and I love this random post! Hope everything goes well for Hayes and that he gets some relief from his ears…poor guy. My husband loves icing 🙂
Girlfriend, I think you’re SO fashionable! Have you seen me?? Yeah, I’m a hot mess.
Thinking sweet thoughts & sending up prayers for Hayes today…and you, too, Mama!
As for the crack taters, um, I made Plain Chicken’s crack dip & crack bread last weekend: HOLY DELICIOUSNESS! I have some frozen shredded potatoes in the freezer…guess I’ll be making crack taters, too! Ha ha!
Good luck in Charlotte. Maybe it will end up being a fun little trip that you get to share with them. I’m sure Hayes will do great with the band.
I hear you about the frosting! I have some rainbow chip in our fridge now and it’s totally taunting me! Good luck at your appointment for Hayes today!
One of the great things about oil cloth is don’t actually have to sew it. It’s thick and the edges don’t usually roll up if it doesn’t have a seamed edge. I’m not sure exactly what you are doing with it, but I say buy it and cut it how you want it and don’t worry about sewing it.
Good luck with the drive and with Hayes’ appointment!
I’d love
I’d love a spring fashion for moms post! Hope y’all have a safe trip and good appointments today.
Good luck today with the drive…hope it all goes well! 🙂
The crack potatoes are so good! I love everything I’ve tried from Plain Chicken.
Good luck with the drive and appointments today! I think a spring fashion post would be great!
So sweet that Hudson is singing about Noah. I just love hearing my niece and nephew talk and sing about anything to do with the Bible and Jesus. Makes my heart smile!
Poor Hayes! My cousin’s twin boys have milk allergies & they often had ear infections before they knew about the allergy .. horrible ear infections are a symptom of having a food allergy in children. There are tons of food items that children are allergic to (wheat, dairy, nuts, etc.).. just some info to think about!
Those “taters” look yummy! 🙂 I’ve been sending prayers your way all morning!
Good luck today! One of my daughters had tubes in her ears and they worked like a charm 🙂
Those potatoes look awesome!
I’d love a spring fashion for moms post….I just realized I have no spring and summer clothes b/c I’ve been pregnant the past couple of years and just hadn’t gotten anything in awhile!
I just have to say that I have the mascara picking compulsion, too! It used to be really bad but I’ve gotten better at it. And, I got Latisse to help grow back the lashes I’ve picked out!
Hope you like the potatoes! They are freakin’ awesome!
Good luck today, hope all goes well!
I had to throw out a thing of frosting yesterday! So darn good!
Good luck with the appointments! And those crack taters look amazing. Plain Chicken is genius.
Hey girl!
Good luck at the appointment with Hayes today. Too bad the weather here wasn’t better today for you! You’re awesome to go to his appointment with Hudson sans Todd but you’re a strong woman. I have realized I can handle appointments to the Dr with both kids by myself amazingly well considering I had to have my husbands help when we just had one kid. Crazy I thought one was hard haha! Anyways that dish looks delicious. I’m finally enjoying a minute of me time and wanted to let you know I was thinking of y’all today at the appointment. Poor little guy can’t catch a break but he will feel so much better after getting his tubes! Have a great weekend and keep us posted. 🙂
Oh and you know we’d love some Mommy Spring fashion tips!

oh, pillsbury icing is dangerous. been there done that.
Sooo, here’s what I’m thinking.
I would love your spring wardrobe ideas. Your wardrobe posts are the best because I feel like they are authentic. Does that even make sense? Basically, I’ve read some style posts and a $680 sweater $1500 boots isn’t going to cut it for me. For me, your wardrobe posts are full of style and functionality with clothes that people can actually go out and purchase.
I’m a mascara picker too and sometimes I think, “I wonder what this is doing to my eyelashes?” Oh well.
Hope the appointment went well today!
Um…funny you mention the frosting, because I literally just sat down at my computer after eating 2 spoonfuls with animal crackers. It’s amazing, but BAD!
fashion tips please… possibly under $50????
um frosting & hot fudge are the WORST to have the the fridge
you go girl… going to Charlotte all by yourself, you are one great momma
Poor Hayes. I hope he feels better soon and that the helmet doesn’t bother him too much. We go for our evaluation next Friday. Our physical therapist thinks she will be right on the border for needing one/not needing one.
Also, as soon as I read the words ‘mascara picker’ I immediately started picking at mine. I’m so bad at that too!
hope the trip to charlotte with the boys went okay. praying for you all and especially little hayes – with the new doc band and a shot all in one day. xoxo
Yes, please do a spring fashion post! I always love when you & ‘According to Nina’ make style posts!
So sorry about poor, little Hayes! I will say a few prayers for him this weekend. Also, I would love to see a Spring fashion post! 🙂
I made those crack potatoes for church sunday! I didnt eat them of course but they were a big hit 🙂
And def do a fashion post. You’ve got taste sister!
