I am so excited with the way some toys are being made nowadays.
Toy manufacturers are mixing the old school, tried and true toys from the past, with just enough of the technology we have become so dependent on, to make it fun. The result is a fun, learning toy with a classic design we all know and love.

So I was just sitting there, minding my own business, when it happened. That "ding" that alerts me to a new email message. I opened it and read it, as I would any message, It read... "Congratulations, you've been nominated for a Liebster award". My mind began racing... "Oh my God!", I thought. "I am finally being recognized for the literary genius I always knew I was"... "Who is Liebster, was he a famous author, inventor of the card catalog or something?" .... "What exactly IS a Liebster award, is it heavy, does it come with a snazzy banner to wear around my chest, better yet, does it come with a cash prize?". I drove myself crazy pondering all these things and it hit me... click on the link and see exactly what it is... so I did and here is what I found...
DISCLOSURE: As coordinator of the Tennessee State Fair's blogger outreach program, I received complimentary tickets to facilitate this post. It's that time of year again! Kids are all heading back to school and we are finally getting ourselves back into a somewhat "normal" routine. Grocery lists have shrunk enabling us to put a little money back for the Tennessee State Fair! We have made the state fair a family event for as long as I can remember and it just gets better every year! Did you know the Tennessee State Fair has been held every year (with the exception of the 4 year span during World War II) since 1906!! The fair has entertained Tennessee families for more than 100 years. It attracts more than 230,000 visitors annually. There are some big things going on this year including the Tennessee Two-Crust Apple Pie Contest, Hendrick's Racing Pigs, tons of livestock events,live music daily, and of course the rides, you know that's really why you go to the fair or is it the food?! The Fair is boasting their world famous fried Goo-Goo cluster, a local delicacy. You MUST try it! Of course they will have all your all time faves... funnel cakes, cotton candy, corn dogs and every other yummy thing you can think of. I love the way the aromas meld together, in the air, at the fair... can't you just smell it now?! My family is so excited to go to the fair. We plan to make an entire day of it. Seeing all the attractions, tasting all the food and maybe even playing a few games. The Tennessee State Fair is a fun, family friendly event that has a little something for everyone.

So I was spending the day with my Mom yesterday. We went shopping, we gossiped about celebrities {she who shall remain nameless #twerk}, we had lunch, we reminisced about family members we've lost and I got all nostalgic and started looking through some of her old pictures and as I was looking at these old pictures, I had an epiphany.... I had some really messed up hair back in the day... and those clothes?! What in the hell were we thinking back then?!
"Hey, I think I'll defy gravity with my hair today'... who does that?! ME! That's who. I hope these pictures bring you as much joy as they brought me yesterday and yes, I know you are laughing with me, not at me. Enjoy! |
