Gladys & Internet Overload
I’m not super technical… it was just a couple of months ago that I found out that “You Tube” wasn’t “U Tube.” And today, I’m going to share with you two You Tube videos. I embedded them all by myself too!!
Last night I went to my Grandmom’s house for her Quiltie Group (mind you all we do is eat… no sewing in sight). My sister (by default) Sarah showed everyone the video from the Ellen show. We were all on the floor laughing.
I was over at Rocks In My Dryer and saw this video. This is totally how I feel about all the Internet hoop-da-la. Someday I’ll join Facebook… promise!
Cake, Crafts, Great Food, Lame Movie
We did celebrate Valentine’s Day… just not on Cora Jane’s birthday! I started with a Red Velvet Cake (which is actually just chocolate cake with LOADS of red food coloring… thx Lindsay!). I have never made one before… those suckers are R-E-D!! I mean play dough red… it freaked me out. After I frosted it, the poor little cake just looked pathetic. My friends ate it anyway.
I came up with some festive heart art pieces (art pieces sounds so much more fancy!). But most of all my little ones had fun and I was soaking up every second of it!!
We presented Hot Hubby with his Valentine… he loved it!
Already in their PJs, we whisked the kiddos off to their buddies’ house so we could have a hot date.
We had the best dinner ever at Lou’s Red Oak BBQ Grill (thanks Susie!!) then saw the lamest movie ever. I don’t want to bad talk about the movie because I’m just not into the ranting blogs, but… we saw He’s Just Not That Into You. #1 The whole movie was stolen from an episode of Sex and the City… you remember the one when Samantha gets advice about the guy that “just isn’t that into” her? #2 We aren’t into cheating and lying in a marriage… not entertainment for us. We thought it was lame… so spend the $22.00 if you want to… we wish we could have ours back!
We went to pick up the kiddos (played some Wii with our friends before we woke them up!) and finished off the night with a snuggle… 
Take a bite out of this book…
I just devoured this month’s book club pick…
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
The Tale is a bit dark in the beginning but leaves you very satisfied at the end!
I'm honored you clicked on Eli's Lids...I love visitors! Explore the blog to learn what really makes Eli's Lids so awesome... my little family and my inspiration... Eli! I'm a stay at home mama who starting sewing adorable "Lids" for my son in 2006. Before I knew it, friends and family were requesting Lids for their kids and baby shower gifts. I decided to sew my little heart out and start Eli's Lids! I've worked really hard to create a unique practical style for moms just like me. I hope you like them too. Many Blessings from my family to yours! ~Kara-Noel
Hot Hubby is the resident tech guy at Eli’s Lids. He gets all my ideas onto the computer so I can create. He is also the lifter of heavy things, killer of (small) spiders, and indulges my Anthropologie obsession. Though he has been know to slack off regularly because everybody knows he’s sleeping with the boss… often.
Our first born and the original inspiration for Eli’s Lids. Pirate obsessed. Cautious. Loves peach yogurt and veggies. Tells knock knock jokes like nobody’s business. Tall. Striking blue eyes. Doesn’t let anyone pick on his lil’ sister and brother… except him!
Dances to the beat of her own lil’ drummer. Loves getting her nails painted and playing games on Daddy’s iPhone. Adventurous. Perfect hair. Hates mornings. Can give a mean stink eye. Wants to read princess books all day.
My favorite (yeah I said it). Snuggler. Sweet tempered. Knock-out smile. French kisses everyone. Water baby. The reason I want more kiddos!
