It’s a Pirates Life for Me!

My boys love to dress up as pirates and set sail around our house. My youngest swashbuckler is often forced to walk the plank unless he completes some roguish deed. (Stealing cookies from the cookie jar!)

Our living room becomes a massive ship using couch cushions. Pirate booty is divided and hidden in secret boxes. Of course, the highlight of every adventure is the sword fights that break out to protect their jewels or ship. Each child is artfully armed with a makeshift sword that swings from their handmade belts.

So mom’s, if you fancy hosting aspiring young Jack Sparrows to pirate duels, check out our loot. Our bestselling pirate gear is on sale just in time for Christmas.

Charm School

At one point in my childhood, I suffered from major case of “Charm Envy”. I was about 10 years old, when a jewelry designer, James Avery introduced collectible charms in Texas.

The excitement of owning the charms spread like wild fire. All the “it” girls in my school had wads of charms dangling around their wrists.

I distinctly remember flipping through my best friend, Heather’s bracelet and thinking “Wow! 24 charms!” Her life seemed perfectly glamorous. I believed that if by divine intervention, I could a mass a similar collection, my life would be infinitely better…

So now, it’s your little girls turn. Our charm bracelet can chronicle her passions (horses or Fairies) and activities ( Tennis or Skating) as well as add a fun fashion statement to her wardrobe.

Things I am thankful for...

I woke up this morning (exhausted) and needed to remind myself of things I was thankful for:
1) That it is November and Thanksgiving is an EASY holiday!
2) My kids are old enough to get themselves dressed
3) That I can finish a cup of coffee if I drink fast and on the go
4) My husband and I both think it's funny that one of the boys ends up in our bed at 5 in the morning
5) That I have such great friends to share my trials and tribulations with and who help keep things in perspective
6) The Warm Biscuit Bedding Co continues to inspire and motivate

Happy November 1st!
