Vintage Barbie Fun: My Teen Son Is Going to Kill me for Posting This

I die when I see this vintage black Barbie dress and also the vintage tutu.

These are pictures of my 3 boys plus my 2 girls and their friend playing with the vintage Barbies my mom has gifted to me. She gave them to my girls, but I have claimed them until they are older. I will probably keep a few of my favorite outfits because they are my only link to decent fashion! Mom, who knew your GRANDSONS would also be playing with the Barbies?!

You gotta love the huge fish ... from my mom's husband to the kids. It's like a huge pillow and they love it.

Tackle-It Tuesday: Homeschool Bookshelf

Every Tuesday, I tackle a different project around my home that's been bugging all of us!

Here's a picture of my messy bookshelf from over 2 years ago. You have to hit the link to see it. Then hit this link to see the AFTER shot from then. It obviously did not stay that way because we are discussing it again. My excuses include (cue whining): I have a lot of kids; I'm a homeschooler and we have a lot of paper; I'm a writer so I'm a creative type and don't like to clean; my parents made me their only child slave so I am rebelling against my husband daily by not picking up. Didja like those?

So here she be last weekend. Don't get me started on all the stuff on the walls and the floor. We like to draw and create and save stuff, but not in a hoarder way.

Moshi Monster Monday: GIVEAWAY! Cards and Figures

Because I want to indoctrinate a child in your life into the Moshi Monster lifestyle, (assuming they have not already fallen in love with these guys!), it's time to do a giveaway!

You can find similar cards on eBay for $10/3 packs, and figures go for at least $2 each depending on rarity, so I'm calling this giveaway an $18 value for each prize package, and I'm giving away TWO MOSHI MONSTER PRIZE PACKAGES!

Sorry about the sideways pictures ... it's good for your neck to turn it from time to time. Enter using the handy dandy Rafflecopter below. This one goes on for a week! I'll announce the winner next Moshi Monster Monday! Good luck!
