So to kick off the "grand opening" or launching of this site I am having a little (emphasis on little) give away. I bought a few of my favorite things. There are some treats to add to your stash ( come on, you know you have one) and to get you through your day. I stuck in one of my favorite books. My all time favorite children's book is Jillian Jiggs by Phoebe Gilman but it is out of print and harder to find. I put in some shrinky dink plastic. It is a fun activity to do with kids. I use it at birthday parties to make charm bracelets or key chains. The kids love to watch it shrink! I added some foam brushes because I do a lot of painting and staining and they are a must. Because I am a germaphobe I am giving you some Clorox wipes. I know. It is a little weird for a give away. But it is a staple at our house and one of the best inventions ever! I put it all in a red ( because its my favorite color) basket.

I love it all! You have the best ideas! You are o creative with stuff you make! I wish that the creative bug would bite me! LOL! Love it I will share your blog on mine!
Stacy, you make me look like a slacker! I think my favorite thing, (which of course is almost impossible to choose), might have to be the title of this blog! It's true, housewives do so much good for the family and community to be at home with our children. As long as we are striving to be the best housewife we can be, there is nothing more important in life than being "just" that! Love your blogs, thanks for sharing! ~Jen
I love your blog! I love what you did with your boys room. Also not going to lie I want those cupcakes! Makes me want to go bake. I found your blog through Jennifer Jensen and although I thought she was joking when she said someone could make her look like a slacker, I have to agree with her ;) I am definitely going to be following this and your other blogs.
Hi,
I'm Joanna's sister and way to go on having 2 cute new blogs. I love the pumpkins and we are planning on doing that next month.
Thanks!
Super cute- Joanna has been telling me over and over about you and how cute you are! I love this blog as well! I love this cute basket- was thinking that you wanted us to say what we love in the giveaway basket- I'd have to say the kit-kats, but the shrinkwrap stuff looks great. But my favorite thing on your blog is everything, but one I really love is your banner and all the different Jobs mommies have (or at least super moms like you) have. Wow. Way to go!
OMG!!!! I posted another comment somewhere or it didn't work, but everything is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! The birthday blog makes me want to try all of them. All I can say is WOW.
I love, love the two boy rooms. They are so creative and took a ton of work i'm sure! I am in the midst of re-doing an office into a Paleontology room for my little one so i can totally relate. Really cute stuff!
Favorite things: cupcakes - pumpkins - and that bed is the cutest thing ever.
How can I pick???? I can't pick just one. Love the wainscoating makeover, the laundry shoot, the pumpkins, tape on the floor, etc. Your blog is really pretty too. You are great at this. Are you sure you are new to blogging? I really love how diverse you are at everything. I am so glad I am a follower.
Mandy is my FAVORITE book from my childhood, I was so excited when my daughter finally read it. Love your blog! I came over from tatertots and jello!
I am your newest follower!!
I was perusing your blog and it is all so great, but do you know what made me stop in my tracks? Homemade cheese!! I have been dreaming of making my own homemade cheese for years and have never had the courage to try, but I will now, thanks to your post! So there, that is my favorite thing!
I love the activities sections!! It's always great to get new ideas!
I think my favorite thing on the site is the tape city!! How fun is that? I think I will have to do that with my kiddos this week since we have two days off from school!
My favorite thing is your bathroom makeover. Good job! I am not brave enough to attempt those kinds of projects. Joanna sent me here--she has been showing me your cool projects for a long time!
Hello! I just spent thirty minutes reading through your darling blog...I love it all! Some of my faves are the bedroom makeovers (that bugs life idea is so cute), The cupcake recipes look so tasty, I will definately be making a few batches of those! I also loved the tape on the floor for the cars...seriously genius! My three year old will love that!
Thanks so much...I can't wait to see more!
I just became a follower!
Those cupcakes look delicious! Great blog!
I cant choose my favourite blog - maybe the Bug's life bunk beds, or maybe the bathroom makeover, but the one I will copy is the tape roads - I have an after school club of 9 children tomorrow for 3 hours - guess what we're going to do!!!!
Benta
and I'm meant to be cutting down on the number of blogs I follow ... and then I found yours, and there goes another one *on* my list :-)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the laundry chute! I'd been thinking about making one of these in my bathroom closet and another under my kitchen sinnk for the recycling. How cool that it's right here on your blog. Guess I just gotta do it!
Im a new follower! Love the blog :)
My favorite thing/idea has got to be scratching pumpkins! Awesome! I also love the pencil posts on the bunk beds.
I'm so glad I ended up here! I love what you did in the boys room and 'scratching' the pumpkins...love it. I can't wait to see more.
I am now a follower :)
Love your indoor herb garden! Adorable Idea :)
Stacey, LOVE the new blog!! You are so creative! I love the spider post! I also love that your room is messy...I think that my room is also the messiest in the house!! Yikes!
I love your blog! I am so glad that I found it! I like the header of your blog, when you say you get a negative response from people when you say you are a stay at home mother. I think being a mom is very important! It is one of the most important jobs around. Your blog is full of great ideas, I just became a follower.
So far my favorite thing is your pumpkin idea. I have some pumpkins growing right now that aren't orange yet so I am going to try my hand at this. I will let ya know how it turns out.
You are very talented..but at the end of a hard day of being a mean mom, my favorite post is the one you wrote about being the mean one. Don't we all feel that way? I need to spend more one on one time with my kids being a fun mom so I loved your ideas. Thanks for sharing so many great ideas!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I love your idea for a dress-up box! My son has autism, and for a very long time, took everything literally, so dressing up was not an option. Now however, it's his favorite thing, and his sister is into to! Such a great idea - I need to head to the dollar store!
But, all of your ideas are fabulous. I too am a SAHM, and tired of the eye-rolls when I say it's my full-time job. I started working at 12 until I had my son at age 25, and being a mom is by far the hardest (albeit best) job I have ever had! Thanks for putting it out there!
Love you Blog! I love the fruit pizza recipe!!
Love your boys' bedroom! I'm a new follower
Just found your site today! So cute bedroom, I love it! That is also my favorite part of California Adventures!
Going to check out more and your other site as well...but I am now a follower of this blog! Thanks!
New here. i like your fruit pizza ide. lots of possibilities.
I just LOVE your photo at the top! All Mom's need that to show someone who asks "What do you do for a living?"; it says a lot. MOM stands for everything management.
