New Year, Clean Slate

New Year, Clean Slate

Happy New Year! There’s something so refreshing about putting up a fresh, new calendar…a blank slate, wide open for new adventures, unending possibilities of what the New Year could become.  Even though 2011 was an amazing year for me, with fabulous experiences that outweighed the drama, I was excited to ...

Child Passenger Safety Week - Seat Check Saturday

While my boys are all out of car seats and into boosters (and old enough to drive, as the case may be), child passenger safety is always an important subject to me. Though we're past the days of the LATCH system and the five-point harness and into the phase of ...

We're Spending a Day Out with Thomas!

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted about our fascination with trains in this house. Our toy bins are still overflowing with our wheeled friends and just last night, I rolled over to find a couple of engines sharing my bed. Trains have held my boys attention and been a ...

True Friendship

April 9, 2011

Life gets in the way. What was once your number one priority gets pushed to the back burner. Friends that you thought you’d never go a day without speaking to drift off into their own lives, taking for granted the special bond you once had. The days pass and your new reality takes over as [...]

March 27, 2011

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 [...]

Pretty Neat Review and Giveaway

March 14, 2011

Organization is something of a dirty word around my house. I get one area cleaned up, and by the time I get through the next one, the first is a disaster zone again. I’ve never been one to claim to be domestic, by any means and I came by it honestly. I grew up in [...]

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

(Whee…I’m a poet!) I’m trying to overcome it by adding lemon or lime to my water, and hubs was sweet enough to pick [...]

#Mamavation Monday – New Year, New Me

January 3, 2011

It’s the dawn of a new year and while I can’t say that 2010 was one of my worst, it brought enough ups and downs that I was ready to kick it soundly in the tail on its way out the door. Out with the old and in with the new. I haven’t made any [...]
