Thoughts...Many Many Thoughts! (:

I'm thinking my 11 year old daughter is way too mouthy. I am seriously going to ground her from the computer, phone, and tv if she don't get control of her mouth and attitude! 

I'm thinking moving is hard and a lot of work. I got the master bedroom pretty much packed up yesterday. I had the kids help and we had a ton of it done in 1 hour. 

I 'm thinking summer is great but the kids are so loud. I love them dearly but they seriously hurt my ears. 

I'm thinking that I miss my mom. She did so much and was fun to hang out with. Thanks to her and her motivation...she got the kitchen and Jacksons room totally packed...And we got the garage and my closet done. Big Big Jobs I found very overwhelming.

Something to Consider...

I saw this and loved it.. many many good tips! 

I found a lot of new ideas on this that I am going to apply to our new house! What do you think!?

I L♥ve....

Ok.. I think I finally found my smurf house.. Doesn't this look like a little house that would be sitting in the middle of their little village!? I love it.. I think this little home is precious and I wouldn't mind moving in!

  I made a simple casserole for dinner.. warmed up some corn and we are all eating as we wish tonight. Jackson is eating early.. I am sure Brandon will eat in a few minutes.. and husby and I will eat closer to 9pm when he gets home.

Everyone will be gone tomorrow. Husby is normally off work.. but working.. Jackson is back in school tomorrow and Brandon will be heading out to go to work tomorrow too.. so it looks like it will be just me and all our animals!

Hope you are having a beautiful evening!

Magic Mesh Hands Free Screen Door Review,Photos & Video!!

( To jump right to the video, go to the bottom of this post! =)  )

Right now tempatures are dropping making me want to open every window in the house and let the air flow through. Our front door has a glass door and a heavy wood door and the back door is just a big wood door too. No screens on either of the doors. Which I think kinda sucks. Sooooooo...

What's in my Bag!

Its been a long while since I did a 

What’s in my Bag

video.. So I thought it would be fun to do it! I am about to switch bags but as of right now...this is the one I am carrying! 

Happy Saturday!!

Jaggers Family Paper Towel Dilemma

Who knew paper towels would be such a hot topic in our house. They use to sit over by the stove but I decided to move them to by the sink. Well that adjustment has really messed up every member of our home. They all seem to think they were better across the kitchen by the stove.. Hummmmm.. wonder why they think that is easier??? Husby even complained that they will get wet sitting by the sink. BUT.. they are not directly where the faucet is.. they are down a little further but on the same side.

At first they just moved them back. then I moved them back to the new spot.. they again.. would move them and I would go right behind them and that game went on for a few days..

The game of

- Where are the paper towels?? -

I got good and tired of that and started complaining.... they complained back and we are still not agreed tha the new spot is the best place for our paper towels to live. My 10 year old just didn't understand why I had to switch thing up on him.. Change is good right!? But the paper towel drama might be over. The towels are over in the new area and so far tonight no one has moved them! I guess this could have all been avoided if we used one of the cabinet hangers to keep them up but getting husby to do that job isn't so easy.. His to do list is rather long at this point! 

I am hoping that this battle is over and they have all surrendered to the new kitchen towel spot! 

I wonder.. where do you keep the paper towels in your homes!? Let me know!!

Me. Myself, & I Link up!!

Today I am linking up..with Breanna, Shane, Kristen, Danielle, & Amanda for Me, Myself, and I ! 

Enjoy! 

        What is your favorite season?

Fall... I love fall for so many reasons.. the beautiful colors alone make it make it my favorite. But what I really love is warm days and cool nights where you can sleep with the windows open! But only do that if you have a second floor..otherwise it might not be too safe. I love the warm comfort foods, a calming fire going in the fireplace, and snuggling up on the cool nights!

Talk about a moment that changed your life.

I was in a very serious car wreck in 2000. I hit 6 cars, a tree and a telephone pole in downtown Clearwater. It was a horrible time in my life. I did serious damage to my teeth.. broke both my shoulders.. fractured my pelvic, and shattered my ankle with a compound fracture. It was a moment in time that changed so much. But I am still here..and because I am still here, I have the most beautiful family ever. At one point.. I wondered if I would ever walk again. The break in my ankle was so bad and it took forever for it heal up where I would put any pressure it. I am so thankful for the family and friends who cared for me and I am also thankful that I was able to stay here longer to marry the love of my life and have the most beautiful kids ever! 

         If you could be any crayola crayon color, what would you be and why?

This was a rather hard question for me.. I seriously had to sit around for a few minutes trying to really think about my answer.. 

I think for me I would be a mix of all the crayons.. is there a " rainbow " crayon? Hummm.. well, I would be a rainbow.. I am made up of lots of colors.. I really like teal.. and pink.. brown too.. and I love black.. I love them all! 

           Describe yourself as a superhero: Superpower? Name? Sidekick?

I have said it before and I will say it again.. I would totally want to be invisible.. I think it would be awesome to be able to go any where without being seen. I would love it! 

     If you had all the money in the world and could only shop at 3 stores, where would you shop?

Hope you are having a great Tuesday!

Goodbye Mr. Frog. =(

I just have to tell you guys about what happened with Jackson this past weekend. 

I saw something in the driveway. I thought it was AGAIN the neighbors yappy dogs using our driveway as their personal bathroom. However, it was a cold day so I sent Jackson outside to see what it was. I also thought it could be a dead bird.. And Jackson is much better about dealing with that stuff than I am. 

He said he would go out in a few minutes.. I kept doing my thing and a little while later.. I see Jackson getting one of my NEW kitchen mittens.. I wondered what he was doing so I just stood back and watched.. 

Did you know that he was going outside to move a DEAD FROG int he driveway.. with my NEW MITT!!!! I about died.. as I watched him get a little closer to that lump in the driveway.. I yelled out.. 

- What are you doing? - 

He said - I am going to bury this dead frog - 

I asked - Why do you have my new oven mitt on? - 

He said - Because Mom, I have to move it somehow. - 

I screamed again.. for him to STOP and come back inside. 

Of course he does and he brings that mitt back in and tosses it back in the drawer.. after he actually TOUCHED the freaking frog. AMAZING that my little germaphobe son of mine would actually touch a dead frog with a item I use around our food.. YIKES.. Thank goodness, I caught it and tossed it into the laundry.. 

GROSS!!

So we still had the problem of what to do with the dead frog. 

It was a cold day but Jackson really wanted to get this frog buried. So that's what we did.. 

Jackson dug the hole.. 

and this time he used the little shovel to move the dead frog.. 

and then he buried it.. just as he wanted. 

 He got it buried...

and I think what me the proudest is.. 

While he was out there shivering in flip flops of course.. he stood there after he put the frog to in the ground and said a prayer for the little dead frog. Yep.. he wanted to have an official funeral for the frog and thats just what he did. I had to stand there too and listen to the prayer and I thought it was the sweetest moment of all! 

Boy.. my soon to be 10 year old sure makes me face the gross stuff rather I like it or not! But I am glad he got to give the frog a proper burial and send off! I am sure he is hopping all around the other side now! 

Raising a little boy is an different kind of animal.. I don't get a break from " nasty " stuff.. instead I have a little boy who runs right to it eyes wide open and ready to do what it takes.. no matter how gross I may find it!

Well mine came came in and it was a kitty cat coffee cup!!! I LOVE IT! I have been waiting and waiting to share it with you guys. 

A fellow blogger from - Kyoti Cave - wrote in the letter that she wanted to find a Persian Kitty mug but she couldn't find one and instead got me this mug! Its adorable! She also sent a sweet book mark too! -So thank you very much Janet! I love it! - 

It has quickly became my favorite mug.. 

I have used for everything from.. coffee, tea, coco, and even milk for cookies!

L♥ve for Taylor Swift - 'Ronan'

This week all over the news has been clips from this amazing song that I just had to share it with you guys! 

On Friday night, Taylor debuted her new song Ronan at the third annual Stand Up to Cancer Telethon, and she was seen breaking down in tears after the emotional performance.Ronan was a tribute to a three-year-old boy who lost his battle to cancer last year.

At the end of the performance it proved to be too much for Taylor.. 

and for me it was no different. I get tears running down my face every time I listen to it. Its beautiful and touching. From what I understand, Ronan's mom help wrote it. If you want to check out her blog.. its right here. 

I think we should all say a prayer for Ronan. His life was short but look at the impact it made. It sure makes me want to hold my kids a little tighter.

10 Day - You - Challenge * 6 PLACES *

Its Tuesday and time for the You challenge with Lauren and Tiffany again!

Its all about 6 places. So I am going to break this down to my top 3 favorite places and then my 3 places I would love to visit!

First off, I loved our cruise to Mexico.. we have been there a couple of times now and

Cozumel is great!



To see all of our pictures from abroad click here!

All of our trips to Gatlinburg were sweet and enchanting. We love it there!



 To see all of our posts from this wonderful area you can click HERE!

Next up.. I pick The Riverwalk in San Antonio Texas.  It was a fun little area with lots of things to do!



You can see all our pictures from this trip right here!!

Now here are the top 3 places I would like to go!!

I think Italty would have to be at the top of the list.

I really think I would have problems leaving here! I would love to go for Scott and my 20th anniversary!

Next up.. The City of Bath. 

The city in the ceremonial county of Somerset in the south west of England. It is situated 97 miles west of London .The city was first established as a spa with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") by the Romans sometime in the AD 60s about 20 years after they had arrived in Britain (AD43), although oral tradition suggests that Bath was known before then. They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the River Avon around hot springs.Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973. Much later, it became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era. 

I just want to go see it.. NOW PLEASE!

My next dream vacation would be to go to Switzerland..

I really have a big desire to go here. I am sure no one would have guessed this for me but I think it would be a great place to visit!

10 Day YOU Challenge - 7 wants -

Its Tuesday and time for the 10 day YOU challenge with Tiffany and Lauren !!

Today is all about 7 wants.. here we go! 

1. Camera

I recently broke my camera and need a new one! Hoping husby will get me one over the holidays. Not sure what kind I want.. I guess I would like to just be turned loose in a camera store to pick out the one I want! 

2. Florida House.. 

with a 

pool! 

I really want to move south.. However, I would miss the fall a lot! 

3. New Fall Purse

which I will probably find in Gatlinburg Tennessee sometime soon!

4. New Cappuccino and Espresso Maker

I have used 2 machines to the max of the last couple of years to make coffee, espressos, and Cappuccinos. I think its about time to invest in a really good one! 

5. I would love a Hawaiian Vacation with JUST HUSBY!

Its been a while since husby and I have had a vacation with the kids.. 2 weeks in Hawaii sounds like heaven to me! 

6. New Blender

I have been making a lot of smoothies lately and my blender is getting wore out! Almost time for a new one! 

7. A Full Office Makeover

I really call this room in our house the family study because Jackson goes into ours to work on his home work, play on the ipad, and to read. But I would like 3 new desktop computers.. also would like a new flat screen tv too. I want it very light and friendly!
