Mud Season on the back roads...

Maple Sugaring Time...

The Eighth Annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend will be held at sugarhouses throughout Vermont, March 27-29, 2009.

Berries & Cream Whipped Sugar Scrub

This is some great stuff. We've taken our Whipped Soap and combined it with some sugar ~ creating a fabulous scrub! Leaves your skin feeling clean, soft and moisturized. Best of all, this product is Paraben Free. A little goes a long way with this fabulous Whipped Sugar Scrub.

We've enhanced the greatness of this fabulous whipped soap and sugar with ~ Berries And Cream ~ A bit of strawberries and a lot of whipped cream is the way to go! We've managed to capture that dynamic combination and packed it into a jar of Whipped Sugar Scrub. You will absolutely LOVE this one!

You can find it here!

Congrats to Winners

Isn't she so sweet, peaceful and innocent? Such a blessing, indeed.

I haven't forgotten about the contest, and I must admit I've started to write this announcement for a few days now, but time has slipped away. There were two people that chose March 10 as the day Christina would arrive. My initial thought was to pick the winner based on time of day, but since there were only two who guessed March 10, I'm going to be generous and let both of them go on a $25.00 USD shopping trip through Spotted Cow Soaps. Congratulations to Storybeader and mel*~reachforthestars~*. I've sent each of you an email with instructions. :)

She is Here!

Christina Ashley arrived at 12:29 AM today. She weighed 6 lbs. 3.4 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. After a very long and hard labor, DD delivered the most absolutely beautiful little girl into our hearts and hands. I am so thankful my DD asked me to be her labor coach. Bringing my granddaughter into this world was the most amazing experience any grandmother could ever wish or hope for.

I present to you....my beautiful granddaughter....



I will look over all of the entries in the contest and notify the winner ASAP.

Guessing Contest

In case you didn't know...LOL...my oldest daugther is due to have her first baby soon. And since this is also my FIRST Grandbaby, it calls for a contest! All you have to do is guess the date and approximate time you think she will have the baby and leave it as a comment right here on my blog. Her given due date is March 10. You must also leave a working email in your comment so I know how to reach you if you are the one to make the lucky guess.

So....what could you win? A shopping spree to Spotted Cow Soaps ~ haven't decided the exact $$ amount ~ but I will say that I am going be real generous!!!

Guess away ~ and I will announce the winner as soon as the baby arrives!

Look What I Came Home To Find Today

You would think by the time your kids reach 17 & 18 years of age they would know what a coat rack is and HOW to use one, right?
Apparently not ~ and look who has taken up residence in the coats hung ever so neatly on the floor!

Notice that the boot tray is empty...and boots are scattered around on the floor. ARGH!!!
