Tutorial: How to fold crisp & clean!

Don't you all just love how stores have perfectly folded thin stacks of shirts? I know I do! It's kinda my thing! I even go as far to color cordinate..but that's another story for another day.
Anyway Here is a pictured step by step on how to : fold neatly! (Thanks for doing this because I just would have never found the time to take all the pictures.) :-)
Hope Some of you out there find this useful.
More space = more clothes!
HELLO! Who wouldn't love that!

You will need a "folding board" approximately 10 - 12 inches long by 6 - 8 inches wide. Start with your shirt facing down on your neat, clean folding surface. Smooth out the wrinkles, or if your really ocd go ahead and bust out that iron! You know you want to..










And voila! Your tee shirts all stacked, ready to go. They use up less drawer space and if stacked on a shelf are easily located.
Don't worry... after you've done hundreds of them, you'll do them without even thinking! Now go fold some laundry!!

Holiday at Home Parade!
Ava's first parade, she had a blast!The weather was rainy and cloudy all morning good ol' Ohio weather, but it pulled through and cleared up before the parade begain. The only bummer was that we were surrounded by other kids a little older than her that kept getting all the candy before she could get to it! They were being stingy this year with the hand fulls ha! But all in all we had a fun day! Heres some photos...




And here's our church's floats we put together completely made out of bloons for Upward sports! Aren't they just awesome! Great Job FBK!!

Cheerleading Coach


Hello my name is MISS ALLIE and I will be your new cheerleading coach!!

Lol! I just signed on to be an UPWARD SPORTS Cheer coach. It's a select team of football, cheerleading, basketball, and soccer that have a Christian based outlook. We do a devotion at the end of each game or practice. And today was our first practice. We had a blast! I have second and third graders, and ended up with 12 girls! I am just thrilled. I can't wait for them all to learn all the cheers and chants because then we start to learn the pom routine which I will be making up and hopefully in weeks to come I can post YouTube videos on here of them doing it all. OF COURSE THAT MEANS FIGURING OUT HOW TO DO THAT FIRST haha, but I'll attempt.
Well check out the website at UPWARD.ORG and if you have children in between the range of K-6TH GRADERS check out where you can find a church near you with UPWARD SPORTS.

GO UPWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daddys Girl




MY BEAUTY PAGEANT BABY

This past weekend we traveled out to Kentucky for the Natural Dolls State Finals Ava was in the age division of 12-24 months and did wonderful! We are so proud of our princess..Here are some cute pictures sorry there aren't more but I needed 5 more hands and a nanny! Nana came along to help with Max and support our girl, but you run around with your head cut off literally the whole day! Now I rest...o wait theres another in September ..Can't wait to share more pictures!



And all winnings "cash" go into her savings for college, I've been asked alot about my pageant motives and we think it's just cute and fun playing dress up for little girls. And mostly because she is too young for sports yet, and this is a great way for her to win some money for college oh yea and well i just love seein her all dolled up! ;)
Here are some of her portfolio pictures we are starting to put together we have one Natural and one "choice of alfit" which can be a costume or just any old cute alfit such as back to school theme Ava's was hawaiin girl theme.

Pool Parties & Mini Van Mama's

So this past weekend we headed out to Cincinati for a pool party at our Aunt Patricia's house. We had such a great time swimming..and eating..and playing with all Ava's cousins. Ok I won't lie my favorite part was lying in the raft floating away toning everyone out and tryin to catch some rays haha! Here's some pics from our day in the sun!









On another note, how many of you are mini van moms? Or SUV Mama's. What does it say about you? I have literally spoken my feelings that I don't like nor will I ever own a mini van. Well any VAN for that matter. There just not cute. There just not hot. Nor will I be looked at as "cool" and "young" any longer once stepping foot into one. OK well after lugging in two carseats to my once nice malibu I figured out why moms , Families find them so convienent. Not only the extra space..and opening side doors..The extra's like storage and a dvd player for the kids. (Well I suppose that can come with any vehicle these days, but call me crazy I wasnt about to "pimp" out my ride to a malibu. So I took the plunge I searched and searched for Suv's that made me happy and without the hubs approving my Escalade we opted for a Nissan Quest..Dvd player and all. How do I look? Cute.
On a serious note though this is the first car I have ever purchased in my name with my money I feel so independant and just great!

I never thought I'd see the day.


LOL it is wonderful and MAN O MAN I LOVE THE SPACE!!
