TOMS

Two posts in one week...that's right!
So Noel finally broke me down after weeks of asking me (literally) for money to buy new shoes...she got a new pair :)
Ok, so do you know about Toms yet?
Here's how it works, you buy a pair of Toms shoes and a child in need somewhere also gets a pair of shoes! GENIUS idea right?!
If you want to know more about the Toms Movement <-----check it out.
Even better they are super super cute shoes.
So using a bit of our tax refund, Noels tiny toes have been adorned with this adorable shoes!
I should also add, they are made really well! Nice leather soles...words from Noel..'comfy'
[note they do run mostly true to size but appear small at first as they are made to stretch out a bit, the website talks about this]

Ok so now if we're talking about good causes how about mommy getting a pair of Toms too...like
these!!!

Anyway...cute shoes + great cause = awesomeness!

In other good news take a look at these beautiful blooms!

My orchid has 5...count 'em FIVE new flowers!!! and lots more buds.. H E L L O spring!

Keeping this post as random as possible and to wrap it up....
Two nights ago, I was doing my good need of putting my dish sponge in the micro to sterilize the thing. Which I might add I typically do for 1 min. I remembered my dad mentioning something about putting it in for 3 min. to do this..
[enter thought process] my pump parts go in their little 'steam clean' bag for 3 min. to sterilize, maybe my dad has something going here?!
so popped that sucker in there for 3 min....cooked to a black crisp... fail
now my microwave smells like burnt sponge...double fail...

oh well...p.s. I gave up complaining for lent...it's not going so well ;0)
