And The Winner Is…….

I know I am VERY overdue for the little giveaway of mine.  I made my daughter remind me to draw a name…she is six.  It is extremely sad how my brain does not work as well as it used to.  So without further ado I wanted to say congrats to Nicoleigh…..please...

Comfortable In My Own Skin

One of my good friends called me to meet.  She was ready and I said that I could be ready in five minutes.  It was 2:00 on Sunday and I was still in my pajamas.  I raced upstairs, put a hat on my head, perfume (just like a shower…right?),...

Big Boy

Isn't it just heartbreaking sometimes to be a mom?  My youngest one is two.  My husband wanted to take all the children to a huge ski show in Denver.  I was fine about the two older ones, but I thought bringing the youngest would be too...

It Smells Like Christmas

  We were invited to a friend's home for dinner last night and we wanted to bring a dessert.  The children and I decided to make an apple crisp.  We peeled, sliced, zested, stirred, dumped and sprinkled.  As the children were stirring the...

She Is Grateful

While I was at the Heather Bullard Parisian Soiree I had the pleasure of meeting Beth Quinn and purchasing one of her beautiful necklaces.  I loved this one because it says "She Is Grateful' and that is exactly how I feel.  I feel so grateful...

Did I Just Go To Europe?

    Isn't this amazing? Heather Bullard could not have chosen a more beautiful location for her Parisian Soiree than The Mission Inn.  The architectural detail was phenomenal.  You truly felt like you were in Europe.  There was a...

Fall Fun

Who doesn't love fall?  The air cools down, the leaves turn amazing colors, pumpkin patches,  fresh apples and the crunch of leaves under your feet.  It is also such a fun time for the children….   We got together with friends...

Started With a Birthday and Ended With a Tic Tac

This past weekend was packed with activities.  We started the weekend with Madolyn's 6th birthday party on  Friday night.  All the girls (and their moms) met at the movie theater to see High School Musical (hence the HSM music on the...

Moms Need Sick Days Too

Today is a day that I wish I could call in sick….but I am a stay at home mom and there is no one available to take my place:-( Mom, could you drive from Illinois today and watch my kids?  Ok.  It is very clear.  I do not get a day off to...

Ten Years and Counting

10 1/2 years ago I watched a man walk into a bar and whispered to my friends, " I would like you to meet my future husband".  Six months later we were married, two years later we had our first of three children and now ten years after...
