I found my new 'C'. Although I did give in and make a couple of cakes right before Christmas, it's not enough for me to keep the 'cakes' in the name. I have finally entered the Cricut world and have really started crafting. The crafty level just went up to a whole new level here at the crazy house! The possibilities are endless with my new toy. <br />
<br />
I have also become more self aware over the last year and realize it doesn't really matter what the current 'C' is for me because it is very likely to change the minute it stops being fun. That's not really ADD for me just the way my brain is wired and I'm finally ok with that. Some of <strike>us</strike> you out there are meant to be the realist and some of us are meant to keep wondering about Wonderland. Welcome once again to my world. <br />

I am a Young Living Essential Oils distributor as well now. These oils are amazing and have so many uses. This Summer they have proved their worth in our family...from sore muscles, dropping a bookshelf on my toe, STRESS, getting stains out of new bedspreads, upset little ones sleeping in new rooms, driving 8 hours back and forth to camp, and just for fun throw in a case of raging PMS!, these oils have saved our sanity. Please let me know if I can tell you more or send you samples. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After a <strike>short break </strike> ...or more like 3 year hiatus, I have decided to jump back into the blogging world...I think, well, at least for now anyway before --shiny!--</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, I have a very short attention span.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not sure where this will go anyway. I stopped making all the cakes in '13 when we started training for a Rogue Runner and getting all healthy. Then we moved and decided it would be a good time to start homeschooling. That was a 6 month location then we moved again to FL. I was excited to be back in Battalion life and jumped right into FRG work...love our FRG's! That turned out to be only a year. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here we are, in TN, 2015. I'm still homeschooling our 3 Crazies, and we are still addicted to Coffee, so 2 out of the 3 in my old blog title are still good to go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coffee, Crazies, & ??? The ocd'ness in me will go nuts until I find my 3rd 'C' or just change the name completely. Watch out peeps, this may just become a blog full of ramblings of an Army wife...or a coffee crazed, unorganized mom trying to homeschool 3 kids without stunting their full potential of knowledge building success. I guess we'll see. </span><br />

We have been a busy bunch, went to Disney, end of school year stuff, and about to move in a week! We had one more event to pull off, our Diva's 10th birthday party.<br />
<br />
This was going to be a special one for her. We have been here the longest (3 years) and this would be a 'goodbye' to all her friends as well. We decided to let her have a sleepover...dun, dun, dunnnnn...<br />
<br />
The Theme-Goosebumps! They love the books, funny how those came back around. Anyway, all year they have read the books and watched the movies so that's what she wanted. <br />
<br />
The Problem- Not a lot of Goosebumps anything out there for party supplies! So we just had to wing it. Here is what she and I came up with together.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For invites I came up with a 'spooky' theme and rhymes...for some reason the pic cut off that bottom line. It was 'and who might just get a fright' It was a hit with the girls, they couldn't wait to see what the 'mystery to solve' was!<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

<br />
We cut out 2 big 'G' s from the many boxes we have lying around and covered them with glue and tissue<br />
paper...for Goosebumps! The Diva loves pink and zebra :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Our house is already packed up some and boxes are everywhere so we just had to work around little space. Got the hanging balloon idea from Pinterest, the girls loved it!<br />

I looked through some free printables , again on Pinterest and found this <a href="http://www.tipjunkie.com/free-halloween-printables/" target="_blank">'Happy Haunting' bunting</a> one. Thank you <a href="http://www.tipjunkie.com/" target="_blank">TipJunkie!</a> I printed, cut out, and glued on to construction paper. Then I just taped it to some black ribbon and hung.<br />

It also had labels for food, etc...so our 'Melted Witches' were these spicy pretzels the Diva loves to make. (get it, witches brooms...I know...)<br />

Our 'Swamp Water' was cherry Koolaid, Sprite, and rainbow sherbet....we also filled a glove with some water and blue food coloring and froze for a dead hand.... definitely got points with that one!<br />
<br />
We also had 'Ogre Snot' which was jello, as well as other snacks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The last dessert along with brownies was the 'Graveyard Pudding'...I wish I had a bigger bowl but things are packed people. Anyway, chocolate pudding topped with crushed Oreo's and the printed out tombstones had each girls name. They used those through the night as 'place cards' for there plates and cups. <br />

I don't have pics but the end of the night we had glow in the dark balloons and then a last card was found. In it, the 1st clue to solved the mystery....the story of a girl there age who lived here long ago was protecting her final gift, but she and her friends had to follow the clues to find it. They loved finding the clues I had stashed around the house. (I still have the clues if anyone needs some ideas) They spent the rest of the night with a pillow fight, playing CLUE, watching movies, and all that craziness!<br />

<br />
I don't know about you guys but we have been hearing about some ornery little Leprechauns running rampant this week. While Skaterboy was setting a trap for one at our house this morning it looks like the little mischief maker had already been in the kitchen. All our breakfast was turned green! Little Miss M must like green food because she put down 3 pancakes all by herself! Looks like we have a new tradition.<br />

<br />
Beautiful House, Great Location!<br />
This house is updated and ready to go! New hardwood laminate, and nice tile throughout house, newly painted rooms and kitchen cabinets, new appliances, and new fence! One part of yard fenced off and is great play area for small children. The LG. storage shed has lots of storage space, we use as playroom (carpeted, ceiling fans, window unit ac/heat, sink w/running water, etc...attic, 2 car carport, Split floor plan 3BDR/2BTH, laundry room, fireplace (gas or log), vaulted ceiling in LR, lg closets, Master has separate garden tub & shower, double sink, lots of room. Covered back patio great for entertaining, plus the raised deck on shed adds for extra room. ADT alarm system installed plus window sensors(if you choose to have $40). We are having the outside trim/deck painted soon as well. We are under 2 minutes away from great Elementary school, under 20 to Benning, if you want the quiet neighborhood feel but by all the shopping this is for you! We are planning to be out last day of June so it's ready for July 1st. 1 or 2 year lease would be preferable. We also prefer no pets but will consider case by case with additional pet deposit.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have finally got the organizing bug! We are set to move in July, so it's too early to start packing (even though I really want to start!) I have had to come up with something to keep me motivated (besides getting this house ready to rent out). And with my new love (obsession) Pinterest there are so many ideas out there...I could cruise all day for inspiration. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have decided to tackle one room/area a day and get the house as organized as possible. One, it will make it easier when it is time to pack up and two, if I get a good system down now we will all be used to it so it will work right into the new house. Always thinking :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A running theme on these amazingly organized Pinterest people is baskets...lots of baskets, fancy or not, plastic, rubber, wicker, with handles or whatever works but lots of baskets! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I recently finished my Fridge and Pantry redo! I am so excited to show you. The Fridge idea came from <a href="http://penniesandblessings.com/2011/04/10-quick-organizing-tips-for-the-kitchen/">I think this link...</a> for the baskets which I found at Walmart (they had smaller ones at Target). And for the Pantry...<a href="http://delightfulorder.blogspot.com/2011/04/moving-medicine-cabinet.html">This blog has a ton of ideas!</a>...I found a bunch of the rubber buckets with handles at the Dollar Tree. Then these <a href="http://www.bhg.com/decorating/storage/organization-basics/free-printable-storage-labels/#page=8">Sites had</a> <a href="http://www.organizinghomelife.com/archives/1836">Free labels!</a> I kind of smushed the ideas together and did what worked for my space and my stuff. I am very happy with how it turned out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also broke down all the snack boxes like cheese its, flip crackers, animal crackers, etc...and put them into snack bags. Now they are in the 'lunch box snacks' bucket...easy to grab and toss into lunch box. And I don't have a fancy machine (I really want one!) and my sticker machine is even out of laminate so I had to get crafty. I cut out the printed labels and put them between layers of the clear package tape...it laminated them just fine. It didn't take as long as I thought (you know, overwhelmed for a minute with most of our food pulled out onto the kitchen floor with my 2 year old rummaging around pulling out old candy) and it was worth it. What areas are you reorganizing? I would love more tips!</span><br />

We started<a href="http://the-fisher-family.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2006-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&updated-max=2007-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&max-results=6"> 'Family Strong'</a> when Charming joined the Army as a place for our families and friends to keep up with us. Of course this was all Facebook was created....that started a whole new trend didn't it? Still I'm glad we have it. There are a few testimonies from me and Charming and it's awesome to be reminded of our 'call' once in a while. It was a big move to leave our Church in Cali and enter the Army adventure that is now our life. We miss our lives in that ministry...leading a group of people to greater experience God and all He has for us and the world around us...but we love where we are now. To be able to be a part of such an old tradition and truly 'living life' with those around us, ministering to them, being with them though moves, deployments, hardships, injury's, safe arrivals back home, etc...has been such an amazing experience. We have grown and learned so much and know God has a plan for our future. While we hope to one day get back into a church and truly lead a revival and ignite a city(and bigger) on fire for the Lord, we will continue to draw near, seek, move forward here where He has us and keep living our 'Army Adventure.'<br />

I'm looking around at cake designs and getting inspired for Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day. If you have a party, dinner, class or office party coming up, or you just want to order a cake for your special someone or family please let me know and I will get you booked. Check the cake pages for more info.<br />

Thanks!<br />

It doesn't matter now, we are here and I am so excited for Christmas this year! I did a few projects and actually got everything shipped off on time...and with us being military our family gets more scattered every year. I had packages going from GA to OK, AZ, TX, etc...crazy!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are a few projects I finished that were pretty inexpensive and easy to make. Each is personalized though which I love...of course I didn't get a pic of my nieces gifts, so bummed! But out there in blog world and Pinterest I saw the $ store cookie sheet idea. You paint the front with Chalkboard paint, embellish with a ribbon on top and there you go, a cute tray to hang on wall or fridge for notes, etc...except I went a little further and printed out their initials on pretty scrapbook paper and mod-podged in the middle and added a few decorative magnets. SO CUTE! I will have them send me a pic when they open them. <br />
<br />
The others are pretty self explanatory. I found some cute, football shaped glasses at the $ store and painted the OU (Oklahoma) letters on the side for my BIL. Again from Pinterest the $ Store plastic frames with scrapbook paper and post it notes for the Teacher gifts, and the painted canvas' where you put stickers, paint over the whole thing and then peel off the stickers...that one is addictive and I will be making more! <br />

As we have outgrown our house I keep shifting furniture around and trying to find storage...it's getting old, but we are moving in about 7 months so I don't want to buy anything new right now. I have a space on 'dining area' wall going into kitchen that was bare. I really need a nice buffet but at this point the kids art supplies and craft stuff have taken over. My parents found this sturdy wood dresser for me a while back for a good deal. It was super ugly green, and I mean different shades of green on different drawers, like dark hunter green and gray shades! But it has lots of drawers and that is what I needed. --Oh man, I just realized I don't have any before pics so you will have to trust me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I won't go into a lot of detail because I know we all do a lot of repainting and re-purposing. Basically a light sand, a couple of coats of primer, a couple of coats of white paint and it looked much better! I wanted to play with an idea though so I kept going...I have this fabric that I made into a panel covering the glass door, recovered a LR lamp shade, and recovered my sewing chair with that has my blues in it and flowers, too cute. I went with those shapes and made a template on paper of a big petal and the middle circle. I traced it off center on the dresser and painted it with leftover house paint. Then I free handed another flower design from the material and same thing. Final touch, spray painted knobs with some leftover silver I had from redoing the kitchen cabinets. I love it and you can't beat free! I painted our dining table too and it really lightens the room, gives it a little whimsy and I love whimsy. </span><br />

<br />
I am so excited to finally be done with my kitchen! The stripping of wallpaper and painting cabinets has been done for a year now although I can't find many of my before pics. Let's just say it was a step back to the early 80's with floral wallpaper, cream cabinets and appliances, and to top it off peach and green drapes. Yuk! We are redoing on a budget so I am doing most of the work myself with Prince Char doing the heavy lifting. That was 3 weeks of steaming and cleaning but I love the way it turned out...white cabs, new knobs, turquoise on top, tan on bottom, and much cleaner. Anyway, this summer we had a pipe break and flooding ruined our floors. Not what I wanted to deal with but I got pretty new floors, and since they had to rip out sheet rock from the pantry I got to paint that too to match my pretty turquoise walls. <br />
All that clean up got finished then our dishwasher died, of course. Well you remember the cream appliances? No more--we got a black dishwasher and since our stove was also about to die (so I convincingly told the hubby--and really it did start to die a couple of days later) we got a shiny, black stove too. Now here is the funnest part--we had no money in the budget for a new fridge, so what was I to do? My oldest daughter's fave show is 'Good Luck Charlie' and they have the coolest fridge. It is chalkboard on the front and they write all over it...love it! I primed it once and about 3 coats of chalkboard paint on the front and done. We are just waiting out the 3 day drying time. But what about the ugly cream sides? I got that covered, literally. I was at the $ store a while back and had found this contact paper I loved. It is circles, I love circles! It was also my blues and tans...perfect! I bought 3 rolls knowing I would do something with it. It is now on the sides of the fridge. What is easier than peel and stick? <br />
We can't wait to start writing on there! Menus, schedules, food list....so many choices! <br />

Time has flown by this last few years. For his 4th I was in labor with his sister and last year we let Chuck E. Cheese do all the work, so this year we wanted to do our own bash. Superhero is what he wanted and that is what he got! We borrowed a friends back yard to make it a swim party.<br />
<br />
Pinterest is my new love...I mean addiction! There are just so many ideas all in one spot! I could spend hours cruising for ideas. There are some great Superhero parties on there and I snagged (and copied) a few ideas. One being the 'city scape' shower curtain as a backdrop...I used it for our picture area. I made about 30 of the 'No-sew' capes I pinned from a blog and they turned out so cute. Cheaper than anything I could buy online, they only cost about $3 a person. <br />
<br />
I found a super cute 'vintage' theme set on Etsy from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/SIMONEmadeit">Simonemadeit</a>. It is a digital file that I could customize and print out at home. That covered his invites and party favors, snack cones, and extras. He wanted a pinata but we couldn't find one we really liked. There were only round ones and 1 of Spidermans head, no thanks. BUT, being close to Halloween--well not really but the stores put stuff out so darn early--we found a smaller one in a bat shape for half the price :) I just printed out a Batman symbol and mod podged it to the front and there you go, perfect size for a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds. <br />
<br />
If it had been an indoor party I probably would have gone over the top...but we were working with a windy day so I did what I could. The final bit that was the perfect touch...a friend of ours jumping out dressed as Mr. Incredible to 'save the day'! He posed with the kids for pics and helped with the pinata. The cake, or no cake, was a piled high plate of cupcakes. It is funny to me that I make cakes, am known as the cake lady, and my kids don't like cake! They like my icing and like cakes in small doses but that's it, they prefer ice cream cakes or other desserts...I'm ok with that, less pressure while I am also hosting :)<br />

I am so excited for her! She has been decorating houses for years and doing all kinds of crazy crafts through the years and we have finally convinced her to start selling. She truly is a 'jill of all trades' with sewing, painting, designing, making out of nothing, re-purposing kind of woman. We never know what is going to pop up next. Now that she has more free time on her hands she is going Crafty Crazy. She lives on a lake in TX, right on the water. It is so funny to see the boaters faces when they cruise by her deck. She now has regulars who come by and see whats new. Anyway, please check out her Facebook page and check it out...leave her a post if you like anything, it will make her day! Thank you for checking in with me, be back soon.<br />

It's ok, I'm moving on to Summer and have been on a roll. I took a couple of days just for me (go Mom's!) with no running errands or having to be anywhere.....so great!....and sewed up a couple of things for my girls and a quick purse for me. <br />
<br />
No patterns, just some simple stuff but I had fun and I love my new little summer bag.<br />

Our renters are moving out July 28th, so it will be available August 1st. We were just going to rent again but are very open to selling.<br />
<br />
Here is the ad on Military by Owner.<br />

<br />
<br />
But here are the pics....now some of these are from when I still lived there. My renter has since painted the LR, dining area, and master bath and I am waiting on updated pics of those areas but everything else is the same.<br />

What happened? Oh I was there, the running around to 2 schools for end of the year ceremonies, picnics, fun days, parties, etc...on top of our normal stuff, and throw in the end of the year Hip Hop dance recitals and you have a few week blur. <br />
<br />
I have missed the blogging world but part of my goal to be more disciplined this year meant I had to take a quick crafting/blogging break. I am glad to be back. God has shown me some things and really all things are better for me when I am spending more time in His word. Now that things are slowing down I am ready to enjoy every day of this summer break with my family. We have a few things planned already, like our indoor campout coming up soon and I can't wait to get started.<br />
<br />
What are some things you have planned?<br />

I finally got to my sewing machine for some practice. I have been wanting to make Little Miss M something with this material for a long time. I made the pants first then just a simple 'pillowcase' top, but didn't love it(and it was too big). I cut some out of the back, added some elastic and made it into a halter top. It was my 1st time to attempt this, I learn as I go. I love it and think it turned out pretty cute. <br />

Finally today during nap time I got it knocked out. Thank goodness once again to Heat n Bond (I know, new obsession) This is baby #3 so I didn't want to leave out big sis and bro. I decided on doing something for all of them to wear. I picked a super cute material that had all their colors and used it for all 3, but not too 'matchy-matchy' so they could wear them anytime. What do you think? <br />

He was so cool about the design, and let me have full reign as long as it had blue and X games on it somehow. I learned quite a bit on this one. One issue I had was my cake mix...too moist and soft, tasted great but doesn't make for good carving. Anyway, it took about 4 sheets of cake piled up and carved out for the 1/2 pipe. I put in a few skewers to make sure the sides didn't move too much...dirty iced in and cooled it. Then a lot of butter cream, a couple of hand painted fondant billboards with cardboard backing, some fondant rails and skull, and some spray paint graffiti later....this is how it came out.<br />

The <strike>problem is I didn't save the blog so I don't know who to give credit to...I looked all over and can't find it again, dang mommy brain. So, if you see this and it was you or you know who or where it was, please stick her link on here or message me so I can give credit where it is due. </strike>Found her!!! The idea is from <a href="http://www.rebekahgough.blogspot.com/">A bit of sunshine</a> ...whew, feel better now!<br />
<br />
Basically, I got to play with the Heat n bond again :) I used the same fabrics I used for Little Miss M's stuffed owl to dress up a plain sweatshirt hoodie. I have a couple sitting around from when I found them for a $1 at Target. I cut an oval for a background, googled an owl shape, cut it out and added a couple of eyes and a beak...ironed it all on the hoodie and there you go...super cute. But to add an extra touch, I (following the afore mentioned idea) took a strip of material and sewed a tube, did a stitch down the middle to pull and wrinkle up and sewed it around the edge of the hood. Little Miss M grabbed it as soon as I was done and put it on strutting her stuff. I think she loves. It was so easy I was able to knock it out during nap time...if I wasn't distracted catching up with Grey's Anatomy I could have finished another one. Oh well, that's for another nap. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

Today is Diva's party and she is ready! I made this cute shirt for her. This is my 1st time to do anything like this besides the Tie shirts so I think it turned out pretty cute...remember I am new to the crafting world and not quite sure of my creativity level yet. It's a whole different thing than cakes :) Anyway, have I said I love Heat n Bond?! Well, I do! I used it on the heart material and even the rick rack stuff around the edge. Then I just hand stitched the buttons on for a final touch. We also did a Sweets Jar for her teacher. I can't wait to deliver that and the cupcakes today.<br />

It is 6 boys, that's it, 6 boys...God bless their teacher! Anyway, she wanted them to have a Valentine's party on Thursday and I told her good luck. She is wonderful though and pulled off a super cute party. Now for my part...Skaterboy wanted Cake Pops, too easy. I whipped up a batch of those and started working on gifts. I has missed out on the Christmas party gift thing, so I wanted to make up for that. What do you do for all boys though? I knew there would be bags of candy, maybe some cars, etc...we had found Valentine's that were paper airplanes on sale last year so that was a definite. I asked Skater and he said the boys liked his 'Tie shirt' and I had some extra white t's lying around....so I made the boys 'Tie shirts' so they could match. We just rolled them up and put them in brown paper sacks. The boys were so excited! We are trying to coordinate a day for them all to wear them for a picture, maybe Mother's day? <br />
The teacher gift turned out super cute I think. I found a couple of glass jar with lids at my favorite junk store. I grabbed my enamel paint and painted on 'Sweets Jar' and some candy, baked, and filled with candy. We tied a red ribbon and card around it and called it done. I love it!<br />
