I love Lands End. They have some of most stylish clothes at a good price. They even have plus size items that look good, so they score 2 thumbs up in my book. I also love that they have a virtual model on their site. All you have to do is put in your height and weight (there are othere things you can customize too like eye shape and hair color). You then can pick up clothing to put on your model, and know how that looks on you. You can exchange out colors, sizes, and pretty much anything else you want. I could literally spend hours just playing with that.
Now, if you are interested in shopping there for yourself or Christmas, use this coupon code:
Code: OUTERWEAR
Pin: 1013
This code will get you free basic UPS shipping on any order you have from October 13 – October 20. Now, I know that times are tough. Lands End knows this also and wants to give one of my readers either a Women’s Half-Zip Pullover or the Women’s Sherpa Fleece. I will let the winner pick which one she would like to receive!

I always thought altitude sickness was just kinda made up. Well, now being in Arizona, I have definitely learned different. We are on the second level of our building, so we have to walk down a flight of stairs and then walk up another flight to get to our car (it is hard to explain, but you would have to see it know what I am talking about). I will admit Bill and I are out of shape. However, we can walk up a flight of stairs (even 2) without getting winded. However, by the time we get to the top up by our car, we feel like we have had several corsets wrapped around us and tied as tight as possible. You cannot breathe. I have been so winded. The other thing we noticed (besides our ears popping all the time) is that our memory isn’t as good here and that sometime we seem to get altitude headaches. I now have an appreciation for when people talk about altitude sickness and how it effects you. It really does.
Oh yeah, I apologize to anyone who has commented and I haven’t gotten back to them. I’m on vacation.

Here’s my dilemma with Madison’s birthday — do I make her a cake or order one? I found a cute recipe that I could make her a cake in the shape of a ice cream cone. However, this cake is semi-labor intensive and will take a good amount of my time. My other option is to go to our local grocery store and order her a cake. Last year, I had them do a Tinkerbell Cake and it was super cute. They have pretty much everything to choose from. I stood there for a least 30 minutes last year trying to decide which one to get. They are very detailed cakes too — they don’t miss the gold chains on the cartoon characters or the little things that kids will notice. On the Tinkerbell cake, there was a toy she could play with. It was Tinkerbell and when you rolled it across the table, the wings move. She still plays with it.
Do you make your children’s birthday cakes?

We went to Madison’s preschool screening today. It went well. I really did not plan on sending her to preschool this fall, but I wanted to make sure that she was where she needs to be developmentally. We also learned some thing we need to work on.
First, the kid cannot catch. I did not know this. I guess Bill knew this. So we will need to work on this. She also cannot hop on one foot or skip.
Next, she does not hold a pencil correctly. I did not know this either. However, I know why this is an issue for her. I am right handed. Bill is left handed. See the problem?
She knew the majority of her body parts. The ones she didn’t know were like heel and forehead. Not ones you work on everyday.
She did know her name and that she was a girl. She also knew she was 3. Thank goodness they did not ask where she lives. Her answer to that question is “the beach”. Let me tell you, Chicago is no beach. LOL
She got all of the color except for grey. However, when they asked her to point to something grey she did.
She knew all her shapes. She was also able to take blocks and build them in the patterns they wanted her too.
She didn’t know what she was suppose to do if she broke something. Surprisingly, at home, she knows. LOL She did know if it was dark that you turned the light on.
They also did a hearing test that she passed.
That’s all I can remember right now, but like I said, it went well. I am not too concerned about the things we have to work on.

Do you remember the “Little House” series about Laura Ingalls Wilder? April marked the 75th anniversary of first publication of “Little House in the Big Woods”. Did you know that the series of Little House books has sold more than 41 million copies in the Unites States and has been translated into more than 40 languages. The house that she wrote her books in is still standing in Mansfield, MO. Laura was already famous in her lifetime, and her home was preserved as a museum shortly after her death in 1957 at age 90. Amazingly, her house averages about 40,000 visitors a year. Here are some scary numbers. Almanzo and Laura bought the farm in 1894 for $400. I can only imagine its worth now.
I still have all my Little House books. Even though they are not in great shape, I hope to pass them on to my kids. It is a great read for both kids and adults.
