It's Ok....

 
I haven't done one of these posts in a while and thought it would be fun.  So here goes...it may get a little snarky around here:
 
 
It's OK that...
 
I love Pintrest but often wonder...Why would I want to make that item  homemade when I can buy it at the store?...ex. Graham crackers, toothpaste, shampoo, fabric softener sheets, etc.  Now, I totally get the safety issues with some of these.  But others, the time factor really makes me stop and think, am I saving THAT much money? and how important is my time versus the savings? Really...
 
I hand deliver almost all of my holiday cards and quite a few after the holiday.  I love to make my Christmas photo cards but hate the addressing, stamps, mailing, etc.  So, I just make them, write Merry Christmas on the envelopes and stick them in my bag.  When I see someone I would like to give one to, I do.  That is just how I roll and everyone who gets one is fine with it. I think....
 
I have a Fitbit, track my steps every day but have no "goal" to achieve on the daily.  I just like knowing.
 
I love hot dogs like a four year old.  I think they are amazing.  I prefer Oscar Meyer.  I like them rolled up in crescent rolls (pigs in a blanket), on the grill, boiled, fried, or microwaved.  Now, I know they are not healthy, contain all the left overs of the pig, are loaded with nitrates, etc.  But....such is life.  Side them with some mac and cheese and call it a meal!
 
Do you have any things to add for your That's OK?

    You had me laughing and shaking my head as I read this post. :). Seriously....why in the world would I make items I can buy at the store....and when I'm buying those items I tend to find other things I want. I wouldn't find extra goodies if I were stuck in my kitchen! ;)

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
