So we have had our tree up for over a week now and let me tell you the kids were so excited when we put it up. It makes it feel like Christmas (well the cold weather for the last few weeks has helped too, but that is another post). Gabriel had to pose in front of the tree b/c he was so proud that he helped decorate it. Now the presents are in the bathtub waiting to be put out; I have to wait Read More »»

Black Friday, Mission Accomplished (and a poem)
Yep, I was one of the crazies this year. I always vowed not to get up before daylight to go to the store where they are having all the great sales. Usually, I casually stroll in around 10 a.m and pick through and find what I need. However this year, the thrill overtook me LOL. I tossed and turned all night in anticipation. Though it wasn't too bad, I made a poem about how most shoppers feel about Read More »»

Happy Birthday Gabriel
Today my big boy is eight years old! I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms as a tiny infant. Spike, as some of my Florida friends call him,(he had super spiky hair when he was little) is growing up on me.

Halloween was fun!
This year Halloween was so much fun because Bella was finally old enough to understand and have a good time trick or treating.

Yep, Yep It’s About That Time Again, Florida Bound….
In exactly four days, I will load my crew up, and we are Florida bound. We will drive all night and get there Saturday morning. Okay, so when I say we, I mean my husband will drive all night while we all sleep (yes it is a hard life for me I know). When we get there we are going to my favorite Thai restaurant to eat (my mouth is watering just thinking about it). The sticky rice, the tom yum soup, Read More »»

1 year, 364 days until it’s my Birthday…….
I turn 30! Yep I am 28 today and for some odd reason this birthday has been a bummer, I don't like this age at all. Hmm, I wonder why. You never can tell how a birthday is going to affect you until it comes but I knew from almost my 27th birthday that 28 was going to be not so good. I wonder if anyone else out there has been affected by their 28th bday. I would assume most would be this way when Read More »»
