Ruby Vegas (review)

-

Ruby Vegas Designs is this modern, sophisticated line of handcrafted wire jewelry found not only on Etsy but on her own website, too. I could spend way too much time just browsing on either site, just thinking about who which piece of jewelry would be perfect for. I am definitely in gift-giving mode as the holidays approach. I am guessing that you, my friends, are too. And you may have someone hard to shop for on your list (I know I have several). Too often, those people are women because we can't seem to make up our darn minds about what we want - or we say "I don't know" because we are too busy thinking of ourselves.

Ruby Vegas Designs is perfect for those people! Robbie is the owner and designer of Ruby Vegas and she's great to work with. Her spoon jewelry was recently purchased by a Biggest Loser star - so you could enjoy the star treatment for yourself or those on your "nice" Christmas list.

I had the opportunity to review the Sassy Kilt Pin - something that can be used to close shawls, kilts, or even scarves.
Our weather has just turned chilly (ok COLD) here with a biting wind, so this little pin will help me keep my scarf cuddled around my neck. I appreciate the usefulness of such items but this one is fashionable, too. Not often in cold weather are accessories cute and functional! Lucky for me, Ruby Vegas was fitting for my lifestyle.

I wanted to share with you some of her Robbie's other beautiful items (found on her Etsy site):
framed silver shawl pin - found here
double knotty shell shawl pin - found here
Orient Express earrings (brass) - found here
Something for even those hard-to-shop-for loved ones. I hope that you check out Ruby Vegas as you do your seasonal shopping. Perhaps you will find that perfect gift or something to accessorize your Christmas party outfit this year.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
