Disney's Website Review

If you are a Florida resident and been on the Disney World's website and tried to buy to tickets for maybe just one visit because you only live a few hours away, and it is just to expensive to buy a hotel room instead of just driving the couple hours it takes to go back home. Well I have been spending the past couple of days on the website because we are trying to get one pass tickets to go to Epcot for our daughter's birthday. Well while I was on the website, purchasing the tickets it kept trying to sell me 4 day passes for my family of four. I even spoke with an online chat repsentive and acted like I was incapable of running my computer and how to work the internet. I just wanted prices for a one day ticket for a family of four. She then told me that they do not offer one day tickets to epcot for Florida Residents, and that you had to change your settings to all guests. Which I thought was very hard, you know how hard is it for a chat customer service to just give me the price for a one day ticket for an adult and a child. I had to call Disney to get the information I wanted to know, which I was not to happy about. I mean if I knew I had to call them and wait on hold to figure out what I actually wanted do you think I would have tried to chat with a person online before hand or just wasted my time calling disney and getting the information in the first place. Disney customer service over the phone was great and very polite their chat service on the other hand sucks.

A little's girl very unbirthday birthday tea party!!

On November the 8th, we threw my 7 year old daughter her birthday party for her 7th birthday. She wanted an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party and I had just made some three tier cupcake holders that I wanted to use. WWell I thought why not do an Alice in Wonderland tea party. I told my daughter and she freaked she wanted the hot tea and everything there. It was very easy to pull this off, I had most of the supplies already on hand. since this was an Alice in Wonderland tea party nothing need to match. So we went to an antique store and purchased some tea pots, went to goodwill to purchase the teacups, and then we went to Micheals and purchased some small picture frames to use as a name plate and the guest could take the picture frame and teacups home as a party gift. It was a success compelete with my little girl screaming this was the best party that she ever had and she loved it. You know that made this mommy very proud, I may not have been able to get her a lot for her tea party and was working on a budget but hear that your daughter loved her party was good enough for me. Here are some pictures from her birthday party, Her cake we got from a local bakery here in Palatka, FL called Sweet Grace Anna. Their cake was awesome and very sweet.

A NEW AND EXCITING LIFE!!!!

So Ladies and Gentlemen I know I have been gone for a very long time. So let me give the run down of what my life has been like since I have been gone. I am now separated from my husband (long story), I am dating the most wonderful man that I could ask for. He is like four years older than me but he has come to accept my kids as his own, and he loves me for me. I started working in August of last year and I am loving it, it is a little difficult not being around my kids as much as I use to but we are moving with the flow. My Sentra was giving me some trouble last year so in October I traded it in for a 2007 Nissan Altima which I love. Now 2014 has started out great, I got to spend the New years with my boyfriend and my kids and friends and family. It was great, I am the happiest I have ever been. I made a NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!!! It is going great, it is to start eating a healthier lifestyle and to get fit, so that I can stay around for my kids for a very long time. My friend DEEDEE is got a group of girls together on facebook where we are eating healthy and exericising everyday and she gives us challenges for us to compelete and is doing a little compotion against the girls to see who can lose the most weight but we are mainly together to try to encourage each other and help one another this long process of losing weight after we have had kids or gained weight for whatever reason might be. I have decided to do a post once a week telling u what the challenges are that she having us do and keep you informed how it is going for me. I want my viewers to help me be motivatied on this and keep at it. It is very encouraging to see so many to help support me in this major life changing event that I am going through. If any of you want to join in the excitment and the life changing event feel free to give it a try, I am telling it will be a blessing and it will keep you healthy and you will feel great about yourself. We are coming up on the end of week 2 now and I already feel a change, I am more energitic and I feel beautiful and feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. It is AAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!! I will post a pic of myself before the challenge started, one mid-weeks and one after the challenge is done. The challenge is called is DEE's 12 weeks to a NEW YOU that I am doing. I will post more a bout the challenge later right now I need to go do my cardio. Thanks so much for stopping me. JAMIE

Father's day 2012

The thursday before fathers day, we had a blast me and the kids making their farhers day presents. I bought three white shirts, one for each important guy in my childerns lives. Meaning daddy, papaw, and grandpa. We also bought them some father day cards too. I wanted totry the bubble painting and instead of using paper we used t-shirts. The kids loved it expect the bubbles kept floating and wouldnt pop on the shirt, so instead we just flinged the bubble soultion on the shirts and then threw them in the dryer. Then i wrote some sayings on the shirts with puffy paint. The guys loved them, I could not get a picture of them wearing their shirts, but they wore them that day and the kids were so happy that they loved them. Now tell me how u spent this year's father day with your father. We are always looking for new ideas on how to spend father's day with these special guys.

My First Fishtail Braid

Hey guys, So I have been on pinterest a lot lately and looking for little girl hairstyles. My daughter has medium length hair and when it is not brushed it is messy but even when it is brushed and left down and everything it is still very messy. So I have been looking for new wonderful ways to get my daughter's hair unmessified (a word I just made up) and lately on pinterest there has been a bunch of posts or repins about braids and different kinds of braids. The only braids that I have ever known how to do is a regular braid and a french braid. Those two types of braids I usually do on my daugther right before she goes to bed cause she likes to wake up with curly hair since her hair is straight and even if you curl it and put product on it, it will still fall down. Today is the last day of school for my daughter, and yesterday I learned how to do a fishtail braid. So I did a fishtail braid on my daughter today before she went to school and it turned out great. I loved it and she loved it, although it only lasted a couple of hours cause my daughter plays hard, it was still neat to actually learn something new to do on my daughter's hair. Here are some pictures of the braid and what it looks like in the front
The Braid Itself

The Front of the Hair

The braid itself is very lose fitting and you can tighten it but it will eventually become very lose, so natuarlly I have learned that this braid is very cute but is not meant for a four year old who is going to be running around playing all day. To bad my hair is short esle I would do this to my hair, oh well I guess I will have to let it grow out now.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice

So Today I am trying something new. As my family may know I am not the best cook in the world and I didn't go to cooking school. I think it is genetic cause my mom barely cooked when she was home.So since I am not good at cooking I have been trying to teach myself all these recipes and how to cook and be a good cook for my husband and my kids. So today I am trying my hand at this recipe that I found on Pinterest, it is called Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice. My son needs to try and stay away from ground beef which means the whole family needs to try to stay away from ground beef, so we are now getting to know chicken, and everything esle;Including ground chicken, trukey, and pork. Recipes will follow using these and any new recipes that I find and the family loves. I am sorry but I did not take any pictures but if you want to see pictures you can go over Southern Plateand find the pictures and recipes there, but I will post the recipe on here as well. Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Items you need: 3 chicken breasts 1 can of cream of mushroom soup an onion and a box of long grain wild rice Step 1: Make sure you cook up your chicken breasts into three strips, which will leave you with nine strips of chicken breast which is more than enough for four people; if you have more than four people double the recipe for every four extra people. After you cut up the chicken place them in the bottom of your slow cooker. Take you onion and dice it up then put it into the slow cooker on top of the chicken. Then open the can the mushroom soup and pour it on top of chicken too, let that cook on low for 7-8 hours. Step 2: Right before you serve make you wild rice following the package instructions. Once that is made then mix it into you slow cooker with your chicken and mix together. Now you are all done and ready serve.

It was going to be crazy cause it was a mess since the hall closet in our house is so small and we have so much stuff that is where it all got put at. So the closet was messy and needed to be organized very badly, so that is what I did. Now we have a place for our bath towels, and sheets for each bedroom.
