It’s Scary

Friends of ours have started the process of buying their first home.  Well, I guess they started months ago when they were looking but today, they were going to sign the papers on a house. 
To be honest, I am a tad jealous that we are not at that point yet.  However, being even more honest, [...]



Joining in again

There is a new challenge up at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans!!  I am joining this one as well but this time I am determined to get good results.  It is only three weeks long but I am going to give it my all.
During the last challenge, I hardly went to the gym, I ate [...]



High Gear

That’s what I’m stepping it up to.  High Gear!  
My vacation is 11 weeks away and I need to really rev myself up to get in some sort of shape by then.  I am going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, which is great but my eating habits need to change. 
I am a [...]



Friday Five

So, I haven’t had any lighthearted posts lately so I figured I would participate in the Friday Five today.  Here it goes!

When you travel, what kinds of souvenirs do you like to bring home for yourself?  I usually go for a t-shirt or sweatshirt, nothing too big or expensive.

I offered to help my niece with the [...]

She’s so generous!
I’m hoping that I win!!

Supporting Babies

My family will be walking again this year to help raise money for the March of Dimes.  This organization is close to my heart as a mother. 
I’ve seen the heartache of mothers who have lost their babies before and after birth.  I can’t imagine their pain. 
I just know that if I can do some small [...]



In the arms of comfort and care

Most of the time when I write, I keep it pretty casual and don’t get too personal because part of me feels like I need to keep things hidden.  I’ve learned the hard way that the people you talk about will find out and read the mean and nasty things you say about them.  I’m [...]



I need vacation now!

I have to wait another three months and six days until we leave for our vacation to the Outer Banks, NC.  I really need the vacation now! 
I can’t really say that I have cabin fever because I have been getting out quite often.  I’ve been going to the gym, running errands, working, running the kids [...]
