new shoes grow with kids

Apparently at some point in history sliced bread was the best thing ever.. One of moms favorite sayings was always "that's better than sliced bread"



In my life time up to this point the best thing ever would have to be the jeans with the adjustable elastic waist band, so your kids don't outgrow their pants as quick.. Had to be invented by a parent..
Click the picture to go to a lovely tutorial on how to add elastic if your jeans don't already have it, cuz this stuff is the poo..

But now I have found something even better..
"what could be better than adjustable elastic?" you ask
Well let me tell ya..
(drum roll please)
Dunnn duh duhhhhhhhh

The best thing ever.. ever ... ever is this new shoe that uses Ifit technology to make a shoe that grows with your child. Its called inchworm shoes, The shoe is reasonably priced, you don't pay anymore than normal shoe prices, and they can wear them so much longer.. The shoe has a button on the side and you click it and pull the shoe apart and it increases in size by half a shoe size each time, and can grow 3 shoe sizes.. Now I don't know if that means ex: size 2, 2 1/2, and 3, or if that means the shoe grows from size 2 to size 5.. I'm guessing the first and if you know please leave it in comments because I could not find that info anywhere.. Ive put in an email to the company to ask and if they answer me I will post it. But with school just getting started back, and this being the time of year when alot of us are investing in new shoes I decided to not wait for them to respond.. This is info us parents need NOW.

They have alot of variety in styles, and the shoes I saw were all adorable, so click this picture to go to their site and see for yourself..



Leave your comments if you have tried these shoes.. Tell us if its as great as it sounds.. We wanna know..

Duct tape a little roll of magic

I love duct tape. Its like a little roll of magic.. There is nothing you can't fix make or do with duct tape.. You can repair your car,fix your freezer, hem your dress,


make a tuxedo and prom dress
This site actually gives scholarships for best prom outfit made from duct tape

And you know its cool if its been on Mythbusters
 mythbusters made a usuable bridge out of it, and duct taped a car to a pole and its stayed when they tried to drive off, they made a car lift, and some other stuff too


Duct tape Wallets



 You could do this, and look as cool as she thinks she does.. But I have a feeling you'd regret it when its time to remove it.. I guess it all depends on how important your nipples are to you, and whats in your glass...




Or how about this guy who duct taped wounds from a grizzly bear attack with duct tape



or..

Duct tape used on those crocodile shows to tape the mouth shut when they transport them..

and my favorite use for duct tape is...

our totally awesome boat  mobile

This was our summer project.. and its all held together with duct tape.. It lasted all summer through sun, and heat, and water, and it is still floating..

What do you use duct tape for??

football players and cheerleaders

Well, Its monday morning. Kids and hubby off to start their day and Im watching this thing about the football player who collapsed and died on the football field. Things like that scare me because I have 2 football players and a cheerleader.. To the best of my knowledge everyone is healthy. But this kids mom thought he was healthy too.

My daughter... The cheerleader was born with a heart murmur.. Doctors said it is ok now. But this really has me concerned. Maybe I need to have her checked one more time. Ill be saying a prayer for the family of this football player and I hope you guys will too. Loosing a child... Well its not even something I want to think about.. So.. Pray..

Well I started this post wanting to celebrate my 10000 visitors, but you dont start a party by talking about death do you???

Have a great day my friends..
