Good To Be Back!

Good To Be Back!

Hello! I’m back, after a rather long hiatus.  To be honest, a plethora of excuses stopped me from maintaining my blog regularly: I needed a little time to recover from my last post…I needed to keep up with all my boys’ school activities…I all of a sudden got really interested in all the shows I DVR-ed…I just didn’t feel … Continue reading

Rest Now, My Sweet Little One

Rest Now, My Sweet Little One

It took four tests to convince me it was true. With the first, I could barely see the line.  The second and third were no more definite. “Is that….? Is there….? Am I….?!” The fourth was much more generous. “YES!” it screamed.  “Congratulations! You are PREGNANT!” (At least, that is how I imagined it would … Continue reading

Good Things To Come!

Hi all!

Summer: Polyvore Stye

Summer: Polyvore Stye

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I’m in some kind of Summer-State-of-Mind.  Well…fashion-wise anyway.  When the Summer temps hit–Blecch! I’ll be in full rebellion mode once more. Anyway, Summer is calling and I got Polyvore inspired.   Hello Summer! by haraz59 featuring block heel sandals   “Sea glass” dress. Beautiful. by haraz59 … Continue reading

May Round-Up

Ahhhh! Sigh of relief!  The end of May is near!  :-) I have to say–every year for the past…maybe 5 or 6 years, I have dreaded the Month of May.  It’s not to say that good things don’t happen for me during this month.  There are tons of fun events to celebrate in May.  Which brings … Continue reading

Teaching Our Kids About Easter

Teaching Our Kids About Easter

Hi everyone! Since Easter Sunday is tomorrow, I’ve been thinking up different ways to present the true meaning of why we celebrate this holiday to my boys.  Of course the boys gobble up the idea of celebrating Easter with chocolate bunnies, Easter eggs, and Easter Egg hunts with the special (money filled) “Golden Eggs”.   It’s all … Continue reading

Wait–What Happened to All the Rain?!

Wait–What Happened to All the Rain?!

A couple weeks ago, I was so happy to learn we were expecting a “major rainstorm” in our area (Just those two words are a joke in itself where we live…Wait, is it rainstorm or rain storm?  Whatever, I’m laughing as I type)  We have been needing this rain for a while, considering the official … Continue reading
