And since I just did a post singing the praises of my husband & our 13 years together- I won’t do it again. Today is our 5 year wedding anniversary. It seems like forever & also, a blink of an eye. How is that possible?! Happy Anniversary, Scott. I love you.

This week was long. I feel like I haven’t updated on so many things- but get so far behind that it no longer seems relevant. I DO have a winner to announce though. ADRIANA of Just By Living is the winner of the Cards for Your Kids giveaway. Thanks for entering mama! The contest had [...]

Saw this today on Medicinal Marzipan. This video is amazing & powerful. I hope to be a mother who isn’t worried about “pretty.”

OK! This is probably why I don’t participate in memes. I’m SOOOOO flighty when it comes to routine. So, I am playing catch up, sorry. So, Day 5 was a picture of a place you’ve been & this picture? Well, it’s from a google image search. I searched Banff National Park. Because, you know- I’ve [...]

Today’s prompt was to share the meaning of my blog title. It’s kinda lame that this question is on here since I have told this story at least 47 million times. Yup, 47. Million. Basically, it’s a song. “This is the First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes. Everyday is a new day to [...]

Thanks to my e-friend Lindsay Ivory who I am copying with this post. Apparently SITS is doing a thing (Yesterday) where you repost your first ever blog post. It’s funny because about a month after I started my blog it became a “baby blog” because I found out we were expecting Hudson. But at the [...]

May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May you grow [...]

9/11/2001. The Tuesday that changed it all. I was 3000 miles away in the suburb of San Francisco I grew up in. I didn’t personally lose anyone. I didn’t lose anyone in the resulting military action. I was lucky. But still? It changed my life. I know it’s trite. Saying 9/11 changed my life sounds [...]
