Been thinking about blogging again. Debating on my security precautions...what should I delete, how careful I should be about giving personal info regarding my family. I think this is why I keep balking on starting up blogging again. I love getting the thoughts out of my head and on to cyberpaper....it's crowded in this head! All kinds of jumbley junk, useless facts, important appointments, the connection of names to faces, where I put my keys, what I came in this room for, etc etc. Way more than any human brain can handle...and I'm a mom! Moms are expected to remember everything for everyone in their family! That's 6 kids and a hubby. And a new puppy. (Things puppy comes with to remember: when did she go out to pee last? Did she eat? What trick actually worked to get her to eat her food? Vet appointments too.) I might be a reasonably smart person, so maybe it's not that my brain is all faulty...it just lack basic organizing skills. And I need better storage. Think I could buy an external hard drive to bump up my memory? Ha ha ha....yeah, I'm hilarious.
So, with that said...I will ponder on this a bit, and probably be back in, oh, another year or two.

What the....?!?!?
I have a blog??? Where did this come from? Hmm.
Anyway (see how I didn't bother to make lame excuses or anything about not updating my blog?),
Eric had a brilliant idea for the kids to make their own pizzas tonight. Too bad he got all the stuff ready for me and then went to work till 11pm. ;) So I'm in charge...it actually wasn't too bad.
Robbie made his first:
Then Allie:
Ethan with his gigantic heed! Heed! Move Head! ;)
Jordan, well, what can I say? He had to be different! He made an upside-down pizza. Crust, then cheese then toppings THEN sauce. Then he decided he wanted more cheese, so you can't really tell anymore, but he was super proud of going against the norm:
Spencer:
Liam: Since he pulled all his blankets out of the dryer, piled them up on the living room floor, and fell asleep in them...
...I made his pizza. I also figured I'd share it with him. And don't you think that for one minute I piled a ton more cheese on top after I took this photo. Because I didn't. Did not! You can't prove anything! :
Can we say, "Yum!" ?
The kids all agreed... fabulous idea, Daddy!

Woo-hoo! I've got a dot com!
WWW.ALLISONIVYDESIGNS.COM
Can't say that I'm excited or anything... LOL!
We had a very successful Valentine's Day batch of sales... I was floored! WOWZERS! Guess other people like our stuff too! No worries, we're building up our inventory again, when sis gets back from her Vegas trip (lucky. I'm stuck here in more snow cleaning up glass from my destructo kids and hubby 2 days in a stinkin' row.)
Oh, and do you want to hear something funny? I'm going to try out the Fighter's Elite class at the dojo next week. Yup. Told you it was funny. Keep laughing. Keeeeeeeep laughing. ;)

The World's Most Fabulous Hot Chocolate!!!
Yes, Boys and Girls, I am divulging the secret of how you too can make The World's Most Fabulous Hot Chocolate in your own home!
I am sipping on this as we speak/read/write/whatever and it's just too yummy to not share.
In a different life I might have been inclined to take pics and make this post all fancy schmancy, but that would involve getting my camera out and posing my cute lil' snowman mug with the whipped cream overflowing the top, which might take too long and might cause my hot chocolate to be merely warm chocolate and my whipped topping to become a milky puddle, and come on now, who could live with that?
To make this fabulocity, you will need:
Stephen's Mint Truffle Hot Cocoa
Stephen's French Vanilla Hot Cocoa
(Stephen is a freaking genius!)
Milk (Not WATER like the label says!)
Whipped yumminess in a can
A nice LARGE mug for your mug ;)
Fill the mug 2/3 the way up with milk and microwave 1 minute, stir, then 1 minute more.
Stir in a couple good size tablespoons of BOTH Mint Truffle and French Vanilla cocoa mix.
Make a pretty swirl with the whipped cream (You know the rule about whipped cream, right? No such thing as too much. Same goes for cheese. Yeah, I know. Why I don't weigh 800 lbs is a mystery to me too.)
If you want to get *really* fancy, you can stick a candy cane or a Pepperidge Farm Pirouette (those cream filled cookie things in the cute cylinder can). I'm liking the Mint Chocolate ones!
yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
ENJOY!

Just for Kailey and Denise...
Kailey: Ouch! :P See if I spend hours trying to read the backlog of your blog again! BTW, you're freaking hilarious! Crack me up, I love you! :)
Denise: Thanks for the B, I will now have anxiety and cry because I'm an overachiever in a lazy persons body, but I've still always gotten A's in everything (except for math. We don't speak of "the math.") I totally totally agreed with you on your take of Breaking Dawn. Does that raise my grade?
Oh, I will be getting "Mommy & Daddy's Playroom" in vinyl for the room or door :)
