It’s official. I’ve become one of those Disney people. We’ve just returned from the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and once again, we had a simply magical time. So magical, in fact, that I spent half the ride home planning what I want to see and do the next time we’re able to make the [...]

Mamavation Monday – Back On Track

January 24, 2011

Happy Monday! I know, I was silent last week on Monday. Had a crazy busy day and just didn’t have the chance to get a post up  to tell you about my current progress.  I’ll just have to do double duty this week and give you all of my updates at once. Last week was [...]

Taking the Blame

January 11, 2011

Yesterday, I broke out my Shred DVD and really got down to the business of working out. I made it through the workout, but when I was finished, every muscle in my body was shaking and burning. I thought “This is good, but I am going to hurt tomorrow.” As the afternoon and evening went [...]

Mamavation Monday – First Success

January 10, 2011

December 16, 2010

While I don’t want to drive in it and SURE don’t want to measure in feet, there’s just something magical about the first snowfall of the [...]

Toys For Tots – Giving Back This Holiday Season

December 15, 2010

I’ve always been blessed. Sure, I gripe and complain about life and challenges and roadblocks that I run into, but all in all, we’re pretty okay. We’ve had the lean Christmas or two, but always had enough people in our lives to pick up the slack and make sure that the kids had a good [...]

Getting In The Kitchen This Weekend

December 13, 2010

I’m having a really rough time believing that Christmas is only a few days away. Less than two weeks to go! I’m starting to get a little more in the Christmas spirit and planning the holiday baking for the upcoming weekend. Of course the standard chocolate chip and sugar cookies are part of the itinerary, [...]

Creating Traditions

December 9, 2010

In our family, Christmas was always a time of tradition and routine. As I grew up, my parents cooked a big dinner on Christmas Eve and my grandparents plus other various relatives came over to enjoy the feast. We were allowed to open our Christmas pajamas and one small toy to help stave off the [...]
