Aggies Do It Better

Turkey nails!

These have been so much fun over the past month. Sad to see it go! There's tons of gory stuff out there-you'll NEVER see me with blood spatter or vampire looking nails......I mean gross! And I have little kids so....no. Just cutesy stuff for me! I also tried jack-o-lanterns, but they just didn't look right, plus, orange=yuck! Frankie and the Mrs. are my favorites!!! I also did a candy corn one with regular (not glittery) polish which I liked better but forgot to take a pic! Oops!

Hi there out there! I'm posting this from my phone, trying it out again, because the only thing I have time to do when I am actually on the computer is pay the bills! Who knows when I'll be able to get back to blogging. The thing about doing all the blog-worthy things is I'm busy DOING them and not blogging about them :) But I do have a new hobby. This is what happened when my husband recently went to visit his family overseas for 10 days. Gotta entertain myself somehow! I stumbled across some really coooool manicures looking at Halloween stuff on google images. And now I'm pretty much obsessed. Along with my mini-midlife crisis of becoming waaaaay more girly lately. Turning 35 with an all-boy household will do that to ya! So I may be posting them here for anyone else who is into this sort of thing. It's a little bit addicting :) You can also follow @NailsByAnAggie on twitter for more pics. There's tons of ideas out there! First up is my Election Day mani-...

Looking for a quick and easy summer lunch or dinner for your kids? Every once in a while, I ask my boys what they would like for dinner. It’s always amusing what they request. One requested cheese quesadillas, and one requested a banana rolled up in a tortilla with peanut butter. This came to me as a way to combine the two! Plus, my kids aren’t big veggie eaters, even though we are working on it every day, but we are HUGE fruit eaters to make up for it. They will pretty much eat any fruit, and in mass quantities. This took only a couple minutes to make. Start with 2 tortillas, and spread each with a little cream cheese. Straight from the block, there’s no need to sweeten it.  Then place thin slices of almost any fruit on one of them. I used strawberry, banana, and blueberry because that’s what I had on hand. Apple or kiwi would also be great. Watermelon, probably not so much. Try to keep it in a single layer or it won’t hold together. Kind of press the fruit into the cream cheese...

Hello! Well, 7 months is a long time to be gone, but….I’ve been a little busy! Here’s our newest addition. He was born December 8, 7 days overdue. Would have been longer if he had anything to do with it. My womb must be quite the hospitable place! He’s a bit bigger now, almost 6 months old. Having 3 kids is i…..n…..s……a……n…..e.  I’ve been very much looking forward to the summer break so that we could not have to keep such  a “schedule”. The big boys have been doing GREAT with the little one, especially #1. We haven’t really had any issues and hope it stays that way. Baby is FASCINATED with his big brothers, it’s quite amusing how much he watches them.  I’m starting to get back to the baking business, but I may not be able to work as much as I was before for maybe 6 more months. I have done a few small projects, I’ll get them on here! I have lots to share and tons of upcoming projects!
