June 11, 2013

How far along? 17 weeks Maternity clothes? This is a maternity dress! I am on the hunt for some nice maternity shorts (thanks for all of the facebook help, I will be hunting at Ross very soon!) Best moment this week: Realizing that it has been almost two weeks that I have had any bleeding! Sleep: Needing it, loving it, and only interrupted by...

FoodStorage for Frequent Flyers (or movers) and in my case, for Military families.

June 10, 2013

As many of you know, my husband is a Captain in the Army (the photo above is from when he was a newbie Lt.), which means we move…a LOT! Certainly far more than I enjoy. And throughout all of our moves, we tend to whittle down much of the excess, which over the years...

How to Organize Your Charging Station, and a Little talk of Love

June 6, 2013

There is one conversation that happen’s over and over again in our home. It goes something like this: “Janae, your phone is already dead? It’s only 8:00 a.m.!” “Yes, well (so and so, we are not naming any names) needed a charger, and so they came and borrowed mine, so I couldn’t charge my phone.”...

How to get out of a speeding ticket.

June 6, 2013

How to get out of a speeding ticket: Cassie Style Let’s be honest, even the best of you little church-going folk have had 4-letter words flash through your mind when this happens to you. Like “Holy flip!” or something like that, right? I thought so. As one who has found myself in this situation on...

That was awesome! One I tried recently was quoting the law to the cop. I mighta run a slightly pink light, but it was close. So when the cop pulled me over I said, “so te statute says it’s illegal to enter an intersection when facing a solid red light…” I could see his eyes glaze over. I’m sure the defense attorney sticker in my window helped. He didn’t even take my info back to his car… 😉ReplyCancel
Aleesha
Awesome! As the wife of a cop I can tell you this really WILL help you out. My poor overworked husband gets SO IRRITATED with the criers, and the angry belligerent arguers are going to get a ticket ALWAYS. LIke, NO exceptions. The truth is, officers deal with crap all day- I mean SERIOUS CRAP. And most people are unable to take responsibility for their actions. They pretend they didn’t know the speed limit, or give excuses like babies crying, etc. Be honest, admit your mistake and you will feel better- and the cop will too! It’s a great tactic Cassie. Seriously. I mean, you MAY still get a ticket, but at least you will know you got that ticket in style, without sacrificing your self respect.ReplyCancel

Lucky stinking dog! I’ve had one speeding ticket in my life– guess which road it was on?! 🙂ReplyCancel
Caroline
Have you ever had a ticket or are you perfect so far? I actually have just the opposite record. Been pulled over more than 15 times and got a ticket every time!ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Oh no Caroline! That’s the worst! I do not have a perfect record by any means. I actually have gotten ticketed 3 times. One time I burst into tears (but it was after a VERY long week), but clearly that didn’t help me at all. But I think I have been pulled over at least 13-15 times! Ugh! I get so much anxiety every time I pass a cop!! I’m sure it’s so much worse for you! By chance do you drive a black or red car? I do know for a fact that those vehicles are targeted.ReplyCancel
Caroline
Cassia you are such a lucky gal! Only 3 tickets with being pulled over that many times. I wish I had your charm lol. I do drive a black Acura and have felt I get targeted, but let’s be honest, every ticket I have received is my own fault since I knowingly drive faster than I should. I usually just hope for the best and take my punishment when I do get busted. When was your last ticket Cassia?ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Caroline!! Agh, sorry, I saw your name, but then I had just looked at Sheryl’s comment. My bad. You know, I honestly can’t remember when it was I got my last ticket?? But I can absolutely remember the last few times I got pulled over!! Haha When me and the hubs were first married, we had a black Audi and I got pulled over for EVERYTHING! For 5 over the limit, for too dark of tint (multiple times for that despite the obvious fact that it was well within the legal limit), broken tail lights (that were not in fact broken at all), and once for changing lanes without signaling. Then I laughed when I interviewed the chief of police about this and he told me that black and red cars were targets!! I’ve not had nearly as much trouble since I switched to a missile SUV…guess they don’t target mom cars. LolReplyCancel

I just recently lost my keys in my bag and them with the me the whole time. I searched the house for 30 minutes before having to leave for work in my husband’s jeep (with wet, soured interior).

  Yes! The really do work!! For years, I have been doubling up my hot pads because I don’t trust any of them, especially when I bake with cast iron with a ceramic coating!! ouch! But I forced myself to be brave, and it worked perfectly! And, they’re adorable and match the darling aprons too; I even bought some for my friend already. And my pink purse…believe it or not, I got it at Burlington coat factory! I adore it!! only $45 bucks!!ReplyCancel
