Worms, The Biggest Loser, and other miscellaneous things from the week…

1. Happy Friday, everyone! I have to start off with sharing what my son brought home the other day…

There’s no room for the squeamish in this house. :)

2. I also have to tell you that my friend Kristen (who made me one of my favorite necklaces) has some new designs out, one of which is very close to my heart…

Isn’t it cute? Head on over to her site and check out more of her new stuff!

3. I’ve told you before about my daughter’s cake decorations and how we love the Food Network channel. If you’re the same way, you’ll love this post by Amanda. Her Halloween fondant creations are too cute. (I’ve told her she needs to open up her own bakery. She’s super talented; stop over there and see what I mean.)

4. A quick reminder about Talkin’ About Thursdays. I’d love your help in spreading the word and joining in! I’ve got the schedule for November posted in my sidebar, so check it out and link up on Thursdays!

5. Did anyone else watch The Biggest Loser this week? I cried at Abby’s story, but what an amazing woman to get back into life like she did. Don’t you think?

6. Speaking of amazing women, I love how some of you have been contacting me about Mom-Mondays. If you have a mom-story you’d like to share, like Michelle did a couple of weeks ago, or if you know of an inspiring mom, send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

7. So what are your plans this weekend? If you have kids, are they dressing up? My daughter is going to be a farmer (even though we’re still looking for overalls!), and my son is going to be a Ninja (even though he cares more about the $2.00 plastic sword that goes with the costume than dressing up. Boys. :)

Have a great weekend, everyone. I’ll see you back here for Mom-Monday!

  3. Just wanted to drop by and say hi! Ben is going as a freaky clown and Ali is a cowgirl.Have a wonderful weekend!

  4. The Biggest Loser is my favorite show & yes, Abby is one amazing woman. And this year's group is especially kind, I think. I mean three different times now contestants sacrifice themselves so others can stay.

  5. Your worms reminded me of my son's facebook post yesterday: "Just sitting on the couch with Nathaniel [his son/my grandson] watching the praying mantis snap the head of crickets and munch them down." Euwww!

  6. Eww, I have three boys who bring home "treasures" like that too! lol. I missed the Biggest Loser but I really wanted to hear her story. And I also LOVE Kristen's necklaces!

  7. A. I used to dig up earth worms like that all of the time when I was a little girl. :)B. You should interview NieNie for your Mom-Mondays segment. I'd love to hear more about her story and her inner strength.Have a Wonderful Wednesday!stephanie@metropolitanmama.net
