Wordless Wednesday - Yay mail!

Ella's Amber necklace arrived

The fitted diapers from BebeMellons arrived.

Etsy - The Panda Edition

I stole this idea from The Gnome's Mom.


I am looking for ideas on how to redecorate my kitchen and make it more me.  As you may or may not know I have a thing for Pandas.  So, I'm looking to decorate my space in Pandas.

Amanda the Panda Mug made by Art Haus Ceramics.  I'm listing this first because I'm not human until I've had my first cup of coffee.  It's just that important and would be even more pleasant in a cup like this.

I love this picture made by Keep Calm Arsenal.  The simple black and whiteness of pandas is one of the reasons I love them so much.

I could use a few of these sets Panda Bear Magnets made by Crafty Goodies.  They also have a tack board version if you prefer that.

Panda Thumbtacks made by yum yum buttons because I am so forgetful that I need a tack board as well.  It might as well be cute.

Panda Enviro Wraps made by The Straight Stitch for the tree hugger in me.  Just because I want to save the Earth doesn't mean I can't have something cute while I do it.

Salt & pepper shaker set from Come on Haze.  I want a set that's cute enough to where I don't feel the need to hide them away when I'm not using them.

I so very need this spoon rest from fruit fly pie because I am addicted to spoon rests.  I have used dessert plates as a spoon rest when I didn't actually have a real one on hand.  I'm that into them.

This Panda Hoodie by aNGrYGiRL Gear is not a kitchen item, but it's still awesome.  I want it so much.


The only thing I didn't find that I was actually looking for was an apron because I'm a messy baker.  I always get flour on my clothes, but they had a lot of cute Panda prints.  I could always make an apron of my own I guess.

It's still racism

It's still racism if the race you're talking about can't hear you.  It's still racism if you're only joking with your friends.  If you wouldn't say it in front of a person of the race you're referring to then it's not okay to say.  Saying that everyone does it doesn't make it less wrong.  This is when you need to be the change you want to see in the world.

I'll take this even further with the cheesy sayings because I rather like this one.  A river starts out as a small stream.  A movement starts out small like a stream and grows as person by person they realize that the way we did it was wrong.  You may be one person, but you're adding to the stream.  Eventually a stream becomes a river, a river can become a bay, and a bay joins the ocean.

Racism isn't okay and you shouldn't stand for it.  I don't care how common place it might be.  It exists and it shouldn't, we should know better by now.

Blast from the Past Friday

A blast from the past

The Return of Sanity

Right now I'm blogging on the floor in my kitchen.  You're probably wondering why.  Well, my daughter is sleeping where my computer is and I'm a loud typer.  I'd rather not wake her up just yet.
Things are somewhat improving since I started my experiment.  Though I now have other factors working against me now.  I have a Parent/Teacher conference coming up, I've been trying to get Dedrick to be more responsible for his stuff, and suddenly Ella won't sleep unless she's in my arms/bed.  This is on top of all the other things I need to deal with right now.
However, I really enjoy this time to myself.  At least now I get a chance to eat breakfast now.

Wordless Wednedsay - Presents

I would have a picture of Dedrick with his present, but he came home with bad news and I got distracted.
