You've Been Booed!

There is a cute little holiday idea that has been going around for the past few years - it's kind of a combo of ding-dong-ditching & paying it forward.

We did the Elfed version for Christmas last year & figured we would get the Booed one going around our neighborhood this year.



I thought this FREE sign & directions from Tom Kat Studios were super cute so I printed them on landscape at 59% (you can go to print preview to adjust it) & added them to the bags. 

We then filled the bags with a few goodies that we had extras of with our Favorite Things Party & a little bit of candy.



We tied a pumpkin on the front & let the kids know the plan - Jayce & I were in charge of the drop off (by the front doors), Nevaeh was in charge of ringing the doorbell & running when Jayce & I were almost back to the car and Albie was our lookout (ding-dong-ditch).  They were nervous & SO EXCITED - ah the little things!!!  

We did our drop offs around 8pm.  We figured that was just late enough for people to be home but not to late & dark enough that we could be a little sneaky.



It's a fun little tradition to start with the kids.  If you haven't been Booed yet get it started in your neighborhood - remember, sometimes it's the little things!

*I don't recommend anything homemade - this is supposed to be a surprise with who dropped off your bag & I know I wouldn't eat anything that wasn't prepackaged & definitely wouldn't let the kiddos.  Sad but true...

Girls Night!

I know that A LOT of you can relate when I say that I am in 
TOTAL need of some GIRL TIME!!!

We get so caught up in everyday life - doing everything for everyone else.
We 'run out' of time for our girlfriends & ourselves.

I wish I could have about:
  • 5 minutes to just take a shower without someone standing by the shower door banging on it.
  • 5 minutes to have some ADULT conversation!
  • 5 minutes to have GIRL time with NO SPORTS talk!
We came up with an idea to make time for the relationships in our lives that matter.  To make girl time.  To make time for ourselves!
& so...The Real Housewives of the QC (Queen City) was born!
Our goal is to get together at least once a month for vent, laugh, hangout & I'm sure at some point cry.

Here are some of our nights!
