{me time} free tomkat studio calendar
{Image: The TomKat Studio} Are you a freak attack in January?  Or maybe every month, regardless of the New Year? OK, well maybe I'm the only one, but this is one of my coping mechanisms. The TomKat Studio. Do you know the site?  If you don't, you should for sure! Especially after yesterday's post!! They have great party inspiration, and the owner, Kim's, Etsy shop has the most darling printable...
{me time} merry christmas!
Holy Moly Macaroni! Has it been a roller coaster the past few weeks. The one thing I know for sure??? I am THANKFUL for friends and family!  To that end, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful Holiday Season.  I'll be enjoying the time with our family over the next week, but will be back to post again before the New Year.  Best wishes to you...
{me time} win-win for both of us!
Let me state for the record that I'm not really sure what sweet Addie is doing in this picture...hmmm. But that's not the point of this post. The point of this post is that it is HARD to find time both for YOU, and for you to SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS. It is nearly impossible for me to return phone calls or emails, and to actually SEE a friend...
{Me Time} a holy hades moment
This weekend I had a little HOLY HADES moment. I looked at Piper (who is 18 months) and then realized that next month is my baby sister's 2nd wedding anniversary.  (Such a special and incredible weekend, and I'm sure gave our parents their own Holy Hades moment!) (Photo Credit: Adam Latham) How are the two things connected?? Let me tell you... The weekend my sister got married was a turning...
Giveaway winners!
So we're back from our little month away.  And I'm pretty sure my life is upside down at the moment.  My head is spinning and I'm not really sure it that's because I'm standing on my head, or if I'm just trapped in a tail spin.... Regardless, I wanted you all to know that the past month's giveaway winners have all been notified via email (below for reference). And I...
{Me Time} Time to de-stress
Ohhhhhh Lord Bee...it was a little nutty those final weeks of July. Hmmm, I think I've started saying that at the beginning of every post! But it has, it really, really, really, really has been nutty. And it never ceases to amaze me that not matter how well you plan or try to organize things, there STILL is never enough time to get it all done. Right now in particular...
{Family Activities} We’re on or way…
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you may have seen some of my recent, slightly stressed updates as I realized the time was coming near for our family to make its annual trek to my parents summer home in Canada. (We are most likely on the plane as most of you read this...) Don't get me wrong, I LOVE SPENDING TIME AT THE LAKE. I love the road...
{Me Time} My Favorite Daily Planner
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing many of you have a slight organization habit or tendency. I'm a little addicted myself, though I definitely find that I can't be the same Type A person that I was pre-kids. I definitely want to be at time as I never minded that person (though I'm sure my Hubs is happy she's not fully here anymore), but...
{Me Time} Viceroy Santa Monica
Wow. It has taken me forever to write this post. That silly thing, you know, LIFE, just keeps throwing me little curve balls. But every time I'm about ready to jump out of my one story office window.....I think back to these wonderful 2 days. They were Blissful. Carefree. No stress. Simply said....PERFECT. To start at the beginning. Hubs and I had decided that although we've done our fair share...
{Life} I hate Cancer
I really do. Truthfully, I'm not sure I know anyone that wants to be friends with it. Thursday, I spent most of the morning in tears in my car after learning a dear family member was diagnosed with Cancer. She is the same age as me, with 4 wonderful children. As I type this post, she is undergoing surgery. I hope and pray they get every last bit of it's...
