I Pray For You

This is a new favorite song of mine--so inspiring! Hee hee!! :)

Love, Muffie :)

Love it

The picture doesn't do it justice, but this John Wind charm bracelet is my current obsession. Honey Bun has one and I love, love, love it. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of his other jewelry, but this bracelet is too cute not to love. What's on your wish list right now?

Love, Muffie :)

Lazy girl pancakes

Has anybody else heard of this? A friend in my bible study was talking about Batter Blaster pancake mix and I happened to see it in Publix the other day and ended up buying a can. Let me tell you, if you like pancakes but don't like the hassle of making the batter, cleaning the bowls, etc, then this is for you! This morning I was craving pancakes and it literally took me THREE MINUTES to make two pancakes! You just heat up a pan and squirt the batter into the pan. So easy and cool! The pancakes really are good, and are organic, which makes them even better! I do think that this world keeps coming up with ideas that make us lazier and lazier, but this is one invention I'm happy about! :)

Love, Muffie

Help Wanted

Sorry for the long absence. It has been one crazy winter. First, the Saints won the Superbowl!!!!!!!!!!!! We travelled to the playoff games, and I can honestly say it was the most amazing experience to be in the Superdome to see the kick that sent us to the big game sail through the uprights! Then we headed home for Mardi Gras. The parade I rode in was delayed by one night due to weather, but it was an amazing success. Somewhere in between all of the madness, I managed to squeeze in our book club book, The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

Has anyone else read The Help? It is truly one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. I could not believe that Ms. Stockett was a first time writer. She developed characters so perfectly rich, inspiring, flawed, and lovable that I wanted them to be real. I find myself opening the book and re-reading its passages just to hear the voices of these characters again in my head. There were the women whose courage and spirit you admired and respected, and there were the women so unfortunately shaped by their surroundings in the 1960s South that you wanted to close the book and hide in shame. In the end Stockett makes you question the lines that existed in the 1960s, and she makes you question whether or not they are still present.

I have not looked forward to book club this much in a long time. I am wondering if anyone out there who has read the book has any suggestions for discussion points we could use tomorrow. I would love to hear them. Also, do any of you have a favorite book club suggestion that you think we should consider for our next selection?

Am I the only one...

who really wants a pair of these?? I am loving the Winter Olympics, and I so wish we lived in a climate where mittens were an accessory that could be worn more than a few times a year. I would totally buy the official Olympic mittens if I lived anywhere else! :)

Love, Muffie

Happy Birthday, HB!

Last Friday, the 3 Rs headed to Raleigh to meet up with a bunch of Honeybun's girlfriends to celebrate her 30th birthday! We had a fabulous girls' weekend of eating lots of yummy food, drinking lots of wine, visiting the spa, and chatting the night away. It was great for Muffie and me to get to meet all of HB's closest girlfriends from all of the phases of her life. They were all so sweet and fun, and we had a blast.

Lola couldn't make it for the girls' weekend, and she was definitely missed!

Lola, maybe you can give us an excuse for another girls' weekend soon!?!?!
