Hoppy Easter!

I hope everyone had a wonderful easter!  today was an epic day at the Hippo parents house!  All three kids were together!

We had Mr and Mrs Hippo, Brohamm 1 and  brohamm 2 and his family.  Dinner was chaotic but great!  Everyone tries to talk over each other, the kids are running around, and poor Lily is terrified.  It is so funny how she cowers around kids.  Little scardy cat:)

Oh, and i forgot to mention I am shipping out 14 packages tomorrow.  Whew.

Enjoy your Monday!

Happy Masters Sunday!

Hope everyone had a wonderful had a wonderful Masters Sunday@  I was joking with Mr. Hippo that it seems like every Masters Sunday is more beautiful than the next, like it is designed on purpose, lol.  I wonder what the stats are on how many good vs. bad weather days there are...

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Super Weekend

Mr. Hippo and I had a fun weekend.  We started off Saturday going to the Atlanta Car Show.  We had so much fun!  Mr. Hippo got to pretend he was driving all the cool cars. (Like the Shelby GT 500 Mustang)

After the car show we went out to watch the Florida game (Go gators!) and met some friends.

After that I started sewing!  which I continued to do through today!  Think I've been busy?

Today's Throwback Thursday is an oldie but goodie!

This is one of my favorite pictures. Having 2 older brothers, I was constantly terrorized.  Kev and Steven wrapped me in BLUE Charmin toilet paper.  Who remembers that?  What wold everyone say today if we all used Blue toilet paper??

Anyways, my bros dressed me up like a Mummy and as you can see, I was terrifying.

Hope you all have a wonderful thursday!

XOXO

Baby its cold outside

this cold weather has to stop!  today Mr Hippo had day 2 of his beer sampling.  its a sweet gig, he gets $50 per day and I get $20 for driving him.  He spends 39 minutes sampling gross beer:)

So we have finally caught up on laundry, dishes, and most importantly, Chicken!  We only buy chicken when it is on sale and we got it for $1.99.  Mr. Hippo has a process for wrapping the chicken.  Each pice gets washed, wrapped in saran warp, and wrapped in tin foil.  Then it is put (in order) in in the freezer.  when we are going to eat chicken, we thaw it out the night befor.  it is truly a genius process.  i think we shoulc patten it.  Maybe call it the manual chicken sorter freezing food storage application, or "ba-gaaaaaaaawk".  (chicken noise)  

back to the grind again.  3 more orders tonight!  dont forget, check out my new items at www.thepreppyhippo.com

Happy Monday!

this is my first week with nothing planned for the weekend! No games, events, NOTHING work related wooo-hoo.  I think the last time I had nothing planned for work for an entire weekend was my wedding back in October!

best day ever!

Event though this weekend wont be as epic, it will still be nice to sleep in and lounge around, although I will probably be embroidering!.  

Speaking of, check out some of my new products:

Hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday!

Wacky Wednesday

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!  Not too exciting today, unless you count the 3 hour nap I got this afternoon:)  Lily and I took a long dog nap.

So many of you have been wondering whats the deal with Hippos?

It all started Mr. Hippo went to work one day wearing a kahki shirt and kahki pants.  He was picked on and his coworkers started saying he worked for the DNR (department of natural resources).  He is our little park ranger!  In one of his dnr dress days, the guys at work mentioned a job site story and the perosn in the story said they were "going to swim in your river like a hippo".  I know really silly... but since then we have joked about hippos and it grew (especially since Mr. Hippo wears his DNR outfit to work still).

I even gave Mr. Hippo cuff-links shaped like hippos for the wedding:)

Anyway, that is the backstory. Something silly that continues to be a running joke.  And since I love Ralph Lauren and anything nautical, preppy just fit!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!

Mrs. Hippo
