Michael is Famous!

It's still exciting for me when I get published in a magazine, even though I've been in over 100 of them. Every now and then a magazine will ask for a picture to go with an article, and over the years most of my kids have been in them. Michael has never been in one, though.

So I perused the online issue of San Diego Family today for my article on Lego Afterschool Enrichment Programs and there was Michael! I was so excited. He doesn't really care, but I think it's cool! Check it out ... page 50!

Big Brothers Rock

Stuff like this kinda makes me wish I had a big brother when I was growing up! Here's a fun video of Joel giving rides on our sidewalk. Still waiting for the Mexicans to show up and walk it like our neighbor "threatened."

Thankful Thursday: I Love Cascade Dishwasher Pods

No, I did not receive any of these to review. I wish. More like they had a big tub of these in the kitchen at Kingfisher Bend Ranch in Evanston, Wyoming and I used the living crap out of them. But they seemed too expensive for me to use at home. Then I remembered how EASY they were to use. Just toss one in and go.

We run the dishwasher AT LEAST once a day around my house so these are a lifesaver for me. I am happy to go all Pioneer Woman and scrub laundry on a washboard and do dishes by hand, but when you get the go-ahead from your rockin' husband to buy THESE, you buy them, dangit. I mean, it's not like I'm askin' for Prada heels or Chanel glasses. Wait, I do have Chanel glasses. Never mind on that little spoiled brat splurge for ME by ME for my 40th birthday party last year. Think they can turn those into bifocals soon without messing up the frames?

Wordless Wednesday with Linky: My Mommyvan Bumper Stickers

You know you want a Kerrie Show bumper sticker for your ghetto sled, too. You can TOTALLY have one, too. Just order one from VistaPrint like I did. I'm thinking of getting my car one of those cool WRAPS ... the entire van will be a big ad for my blog. Absolutely worth the few hundred bucks.

Still Not Spackling the Kitchen Walls

Here is a picture of a huge tub of what I like to call SPACKLE. It's just a fun word to say. Try it.

It theoretically covers gashes in walls and other non-pretty spots made by wallpaper stripping. THREE layers of wallpaper, to be specific.

I say THEORETICALLY because you have to actually open the tub and use it for it to work. I can't seem to get around to doing that. Maybe that will occur during Labor Day weekend, when Aron is home and we have no plans.

Perhaps I will have some lovely pictures of spackled wall for you next week, readers. Wouldn't that be awesome? Aren't you excited? Will you be thinking of me spackling all weekend long and anticipating Tuesday's post? I know you will!
