Summer is here! At least in Southern California we are starting to feel it. It's just in the air and at times I feel like I am in 7th or 8th grade getting ready for lazy beach summers, my hair loaded up with Sun-In (You KNOW you've been there!), SPF4 Sunscreen, and my Seventeen magazine. I remember reading some of the comments in Seventeen and seeing the readers' names and...
Holy Mother's Day weekend from Hades!! I have a mom and a mother-in-law that are truly incredible. Totally selfless, thoughtful, and generous. I had this little plan all worked out to give back to them a little over the weekend. Surprise pedicure appointments were made, dinner was planned, and my youngest sister and I got together to prepare a gift for the salon. OHHH I was excited about the treat...
Sorry about the light posting schedule. We're on vacation with 10 grandLittles right now. (my Mother-in-Law is a brave, brave woman!) I had hoped to be able to post a little bit more while we were away (seeing as how I got a little behind the week before we left...) but as luck would have it, where we are staying does not have wireless internet access... Soooooo.....bare with the absence,...
I'm completely delayed in posting about the girls' birthdays. Their Circus Party felt like we had a wedding at our house (not in being elaborate, but more in the man hours it took everyone to put it all together!) I'm hoping to get the party posted soon. Just waiting on a few more photos and I promise to share!! So yes, the girls all shared the big party, and it...
I love this little kid. She turned 2 this past week. I still can't believe it. She knows how to push our buttons and drive us to the edge like no other. But she also likes to have tea parties. And she adores her older sister (who because of their 11 month age difference is the same age as her right now....TWO, 2 year olds live in my house ~...
Hubs and I were engaged today. It's also my birthday. I had always disliked my birthday, until that birthday. Birthdays are a tricky thing. When you're younger, your family and friends make it such a wonderful and magical day. You almost feel on top of the world! But as you get older you might have a business meeting that day, your family may not live close by, your friends may...
So it’s a New Year, a fresh start, open season on making plans and goals and seeing how long we can stick to them. One of my major goals of course is losing the 3 years of baby weight by baby #3′s first birthday (Ummm that would be in March....Fab!). To do this will take nothing short of a miracle. So much so that I was trying to hold back...
I can't tell you how happy seeing something like this makes me. I suppose I could be sad that they don't always come to Mommy for hugs, but instead I'm more than secretly thrilled that my middle baby turns to my oldest baby when she needs a little extra love sometimes. I think there are 2 reasons why this makes my heart swell so much. First, they are finding comfort...
As I've said before, I'm not really one to say "No". I think I'm afraid that if I do, then I might miss out on something really fun or really cool. Sometimes it's not easy, but I love the challenge of getting it all to work. So when I was asked if my kitchen might be free, and I replied that there was a hole in my head, a hole...
I've been a little slow this week, it's been somewhat challenging. I'm now trying to carve out time to workout a few days a week, for the Flat Belly mission. Uh, huh. And there is so much extra time just laying around our house... Addie has decided she wants to use the potty and not diapers. (Really?? This week?! The week we have swim lessons at our house???). Oh. And...
