Monthly Potluck at Work
2:23 PM - Posted by Ebannie - 3 comments

Tawana and I preparing for our monthly potluck. Tawana made deviled eggs and BBQ Meatballs and I made my famous Guacamole dip. Everyone else brought a mixture of food, fried chicken, tuna/chicken salad, pasta salad, potato salad, 7-up pound cake(I♥), cupcakes, cookies, and strawberry cake.






I behaved myself because Tawana and I have been on our tuna diet for two weeks and I didn't want to ruin my progress but I really wanted seconds of that 7-up pound cake. Soooo yummy!!

I wish when Sunday comes to a close it would be Saturday again. It's crazy how when your having fun time flies bye but when your not time creeps. Sorry, this blog is so late!

Friday night, Elijah and I went to a neighbor's house to have a couple of drinks and chill for the night. We did our usual thing.......glass of wine, beer, fire pit and great friends!


Sarah and Austin(neighbor)~~~~Kelly and Micheal
We all had a great time chilling, and talking about nothing really. Kelly and Michael offered to take Noah on Saturday to stay the night along with Madison and Autumn(Sarah and Austin"s kids). I was a little afraid that it would be too much for them and I don't like to really push my child on to anyone. I know that sounds harsh and I know that Kelly and Michael are great with him. It's just a part of Motherhood I guess.....we are so protective. We let him go because the last time they took the girls Noah cried for about an hour. He was really excited when we told him, he could go this time!!!



Saturday rolled around and when Noah left.....we didn't know what to do. Elijah said he doesn't remember how to be childless! We didn't have anything planned except to do yard work and a little bit of planting which took the whole afternoon to do.




After doing all of that you would think we would be worn out but we decided to take advantage of our time and paint the town. We went to watch the Clash of the Titans in 3-D... is was okay. It's not worth watching it in 3-D! After the movies we went to the bar called Baker Street. It was fun....they had a band playing called The Reds and they were AMAZING. They played a wide range of music....hip hop, rock, country, dance, and alternative.


We called Sarah and Austin to see what they were up too and if they wanted to join us. They were at a bar called the Iron Horse which is a bikers bar(we didn't know this until we pulled up). We walked in and we felt so out of place but everyone there was really nice and cool. We didn't stay there too long and ended up back at Baker Street with Sarah and Austin.



Sarah and I danced until our feet hurt! We had such GREAT fun!!!

Sunday evening we all decided to get together again and do a small cookout which always turns out to be a big one.




I think this is the first time we ever cooked together. It was really fun!
We are so blessed to have friends like we do!!









Overnight PJs for Noah
10:37 AM - Posted by Ebannie - 3 comments



I made these adorable Kimono pajamas for Noah. It's a flannel print of Curious George, which totally fits Noah's character. I found the pattern on blog site, Creature of Habit. If you just let her know that you would like to attain the pattern she will gladly share it with you. Super nice, lady! Her instructions are super simple and what a cute gift it would be, especially if it was made from you. Happy Sewing!!

Weekend Sewing Projects
2:20 PM - Posted by Ebannie - 4 comments
I have been doing a lot of research online and found wonderful sites that have tutorials and sites that give free patterns. The only down side to free patterns is that you have to print out like 50 pages, tape them together and cut them out. But I totally don't mind because it's ♫ FREE♫!!! A Lot of these projects are just to see if I can do them. I love sewing and I am most thankful for my mom because she is the one who inspired me. The first article of clothing I had ever made was a skirt which didn't turn out too bad (with my mothers guidance). I had tried to make a prom dress one year but the closest I got to finishing that was the lining of the dress. I got frustrated because I didn't have all the tools and just chucked the dress. Thinking back I wish I did not do that because it was a baby doll style dress and those are popular now.
This dress is my version of Vivienne Style jumper for a toddler by Arsonita. This pattern can be found @ http://www.burdastyle.com/ if you would like to test out your sewing skills.




These cute Baby Boots and Mary Jane's patterns are from http://www.ithinksew.com/. I love this site!!! She has some adorable baby/women shoes, pouches, bags and clutches! Another great thing about it is you can purchase the patterns at a low price and it's emailed to you immediately. I had so much fun making these!
Now on to making adult dresses!
Wish me luck!

P.S. If you notice the Mary Jane shoes are done in the same fabric as my guest bathroom.
Fabric is never wasted!!! Hahahaa!


Girls Night Out
9:16 AM - Posted by Ebannie - 3 comments

Girls night out is always filled with lots of laughs, dancing and singing! Felicia in the Auburn hair is one of my good friends and Angela is Felicia's friend. She is really cool and fun! We met up at Mi Cocina which is an AMAZING Mexican restaurant and we all know how I love Mexican food! I already ate with the fam so I had to skip out on the fabulous food. :( Felicia ordered the Mambo Limousine(alcoholic bev) that is ridiculously wonderful!!!

Here I am looking goofy, singing and dancing at Pete's Piano Bar! It had been a long time since I had been out and I'm so glad Felicia invited me. I almost forgot how fun it was!!!

Good Time!!




Family Night
8:56 AM - Posted by Ebannie - 3 comments
The first Wednesday of the month is Family Night! We prepared a delicious dinner!


We made pasta, stir fry veggies, grilled chicken/shrimp and chocolate cookies for dessert.




Noah, didn't want to eat any veggies or pasta and he decided he wanted grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. I had him make it, which was a semi bad idea because he put too much butter on it. It still turned out pretty good! He was so proud of himself!!!



Don't they look alike? These two can always make me laugh!



Some of Noah's many funny, goofy faces!!


Noah has always been particular about his colors and I think it is so interesting that he puts them all back in the same color scheme. He is very good at details.

Happy late Wednesday, everyone!!!
