My little helper

Sam loves to "help" around the house.  He really likes to sweep and mop. Basically he likes any cleaning tool that has a handle.  Today it was the Woolite Carpet Stick. (which by the way, I'm not very impressed with)  He walked around the living room saying "Brush, brush, brush."  So cute.  I'm glad he's starting to take responsibility for all of the spots he gets on my carpet.

In case you didn't notice, he is holding a 5. Is someone a little predictable?

eShakti

So there is this website that I love. I stumbled across them on a couple of blogs that I read and boy, am I glad I did.

Its called eShakti and my closet and I love it. They are a company based in India that makes darling clothing in all sizes. I do mean ALL sizes. The best part is they customize!!! I'm not kidding. So basically if you have clothing constraints (ya know what I'm sayin?) or perhaps you are not exactly a Anthropology size small, this is the place for you.  You can either order based on your regular size are you can order based on measurements and they will make the clothing to order. Say you find a dress that you love but you need it to have sleeves. They'll add sleeves for $7.50. Want it longer? Done for $7.50. Shorter? Done for $7.50. Say you need some extra room for "the girls". Yeah, they'll do that too for $7.50. When you order in standard sizes they ask for you bra size and your height, just to make sure everything matches up. I have only ordered standard sizes and everything has fit very well.

The construction is good. I haven't noticed any problems and so far I like all of the fabric I have received. Look how darling the embroidery is?!

My only complaint is that sometimes their website it super slow. Also, I haven't had to deal with their customer service so I can't really tell you anything about it or how returning works. I will tell you that they are discount CRAZY! I ordered the first of February and I have received 2 discount codes and a gift certificate since then. But the best part is this.  They gave me a coupon code to give to my friends.  That's you.  So here it is, the code that will give you $20 against your first purchase on eShakti. 

Code: TraceyHanson87

Here are the lovely things that I have purchased.

I also bought another darling dress that seems to have disappeared from the site.  Oh, well.   

Happy Shopping!

NO TRESPASSING!

Every time we walk past the nail salon at our local Walmart I laugh.  While I understand that they don't want people to touch the water feature, I'm not sure a "NO TRESPASSING" sign properly conveys what they are trying to say. I also really like that they used a landscaping fence.  So awesome.

I didn't want the nail ladies to take it out on my feet if I go in and get a pedicure so I we very nonchalantly took a walking photo with my phone instead of using my regular camera that was sitting in my purse.  I'm not very good at getting good camera phone pics.

Deep breaths . . .

Words cannot describe the day that we have had today. 

I'll just let Sam's evening meltdown paint you a picture.

Rootbeer Floats

After a crazy day at church (I got a THIRD calling) I kind of forgot to take a photo today.   Unfortunately, I realized this about the same time (9:30 pm) that I realized that I was going to make rootbeer floats tonight.  

As you can see, I have priorities and the float came first.
