Welcome!

Hello family and friends who are like family!  Welcome to my new blog, The Babbling Brunette.  Many of the blogs that I read have some sort of “theme”, mine does not.  As the tag line suggests the blog will feature “a dash of this and a cup of that”; in less flowery terms it will be somewhat of a mishmash.

Since I’m Katie Beucus in the making (crazy), there will probably be posts about the wedding planning process in addition to my adventures in the kitchen, the projects we do around our new home and “our girls”, Maya and Marley.  Initially I’ll be working on three posts a week which will post Monday/Wednesday/Friday.  You can access these posts through the link that will show on Facebook or you can follow me from the blog itself (bottom right) and access them right from your e-mail! Now for your regularly scheduled programing, happy Friday!

1) Apparently someone is going to be huge.  Can you guess who is who?

2) And apparently that same someone thinks that it is acceptable to jump on the bed....ahem.....Marley.....and also likes zucchini:

3) Does anyone shop at the Gap Outlet?  I have a coupon via e-mail for 40% off your entire purchase valid this weekend only.  If you anticipate going there this weekend or would make a special trip because you have a 40% off coupon, either leave your email address in the comment below or message it to me on Facebook and I'll share my coupon with you!

4) And here are two songs that have been stuck in my head this week from bands I like. You're welcome.

5) Last but not least, a disturbing thought on competitive eating.  The last world hot dog eating champ consumed 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes.  We have children and families who go without meals all over our country and here you are shoving 68 hot dogs down your throat in ten minutes as a sport?! Wow.

Happy Friday to you all!  I hope you all enjoyed the first post ever from The Babbling Brunette, I'll be back on Monday!
