Happy 13th birthday to my Son

2012-05-29T20:42:00.001-04:00

My little boy, who isn't so little anymore, turned 13 today! It is incredible seeing what a great young man he has turned out to be. Yesterday we had his birthday party. It was a mistake on my part because most of his friends had family plans, but quite a few people showed up anyway. It was wonderful seeing my son interact with other children. We had children from one year old up to 13 years

People are still compassionate

2012-05-27T15:35:00.002-04:00

I was at a softball game and I saw a touch of compassion among men that really touched me, so I wanted to share with you. My 12 yr old son was keeping book the entire game for the team my husband and brother play on. The other team was up by 20, so our team had NO chance of winning, unless a divine act happened. My brother, who was clean up batter, allowed my son to take the last hit. The

My little guy is at tall as I am

Red Envelope - Why get off your couch when you can shop from home here! (Review)

2012-05-04T01:00:00.000-04:00

Red Envelope is a great place to find Mother's Day Gifts. There are so many unique gifts to choose from. You can get anything from jewelry to chocolate covered strawberries. Red Envelope had my mouth watering and thinking about which gift my Mother would most enjoy. The Chocolate Covered strawberries were hard to pass up until I spotted Mrs. Fields® Cookie Basket - 100 Nibblers w/Reusable

Pro Flowers has Gifts for Mother's Day (Review)

2012-05-04T00:28:00.000-04:00

I was honored to be asked to review Pro Flowers gifts for Mother's Day. As I embarked on my journey around the website, the first thing I noticed was how easy everything was to navigate. I also liked how the prices were comparable to my local florist, plus you get these delivered right to your home. There are so many different flowers to choose from with several different options. If you

Today is my 13th wedding anniversary

2012-04-24T03:04:00.001-04:00

Thirteen years ago I married my husband. It amazes me that it has already been 13 years! My wedding day is one of the days that I hope to remember for the rest of my life. My sisters were my best woman and the little girl I babysat was my flower girl. My husband had his brother at his best man. I can remember being nervous, but so much in love! The love I had for my husband 13 years ago is

Getting balanced

2012-04-19T18:21:00.000-04:00

Wow, who knew that being a mom, working and trying to keep up with a blog would be a hard balance to maintain. I am still trying to learn how to be an effective Mom and worker. It isn't easy. My son was used to being the top priority and I feel guilty that I can't do whatever he wants when he wants it. I also didn't realize how much he depended on me. I have been working between 8 and 10

I have a job now

2012-03-25T02:18:00.000-04:00

I have been working for about three weeks. It is a change for me since I haven't worked since getting pregnant with my son, who will be 13 in a couple of months. I am a data entry worker. I didn't think data entry would be something I would enjoy, but I do enjoy it! It is the kind of job I am good at. Entering data from a form, filling in information from the data, and finally sending it

PrintRunner Giveaway: 100 Postcards (Ends 3/12/2012)

2012-03-11T06:27:00.000-04:00

PrintRunner graciously offered me 100 Postcards for a giveaway. Did you know PrintRunner was a company out of California? I didn't, but I love buying American made products. PrintRunner.com was established with little more than a small press and a dream. Ten years later they became one of the foremost quality printers in Southern California. Their commitment to provide the best value and

Welcome to March

2012-03-05T00:51:00.000-05:00

I had a lot going on in my life throughout February. My husband was interviewing for a job in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and we were pretty sure he had it. Then, we got a call that there was a new General Manager who was reorganizing the whole company, so my husband wouldn't have a place to work. They still want him, but need to open a spot for him to work. We had another person interested in the

Its time to talk about SAD

2012-01-25T04:07:00.000-05:00

This is the worst time of the year for me. It is the time when I need medication to help get me out of the rut. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) didn't affect me until my early 30s. I don't know if it was caused by moving where it hardly snowed and the skies were usually blue to where the skies are almost always gray during the winter. I adore my husband and son. They know I am not the

I am going to Washington DC this weekend

2012-01-23T18:09:00.000-05:00

My back has been able to withstand sitting more so my quality of life has improved. For months all I could do was sit up for short periods of time, perhaps 30 minutes. I was lying flat on my back the rest of the time or standing up. My back pain has slowly improved so I am going to try a 6 hour road trip. My husband, son and I in front of Botanical Gardens in Washington DC on our last trip

2012-01-22T00:04:00.001-05:00

Dale and Thomas Popcorn asked me if I wanted to do another giveaway for my readers. As you can tell, I thought it was a great idea! As my longtime readers know, I love sweets and love Dale and Thomas Popcorn. I have successfully lost about 30 pounds and have indulged with Dale and Thomas Popcorn a couple times during my weight loss goal. /*{literal}<![CDATA[*/ window.RAFLIN =

January 19th is National Popcorn Day! (Dale and Thomas Popcorn Review)

2012-01-18T23:27:00.000-05:00

When you think about going to the movies or eating a low calorie snack at home, do you think about popcorn? I know I love eating popcorn! I have had the pleasure of eating Dale and Thomas Popcorn multiple times. It is hard for me to pick a favorite flavor because I like most of the flavors. Their popcorn with chocolate has me hooked! Are you going to eat popcorn tomorrow? What is your

I am thankful for Martin Luther King Jr

2012-01-16T18:16:00.000-05:00

I do not want to imagine the kind of world we could be living in if it weren't for Martin Luther King Jr. and the other people who fought for equality for all races. I believe that everyone deserves the same liberties and chances at life, regardless of sex, religion, color, etc. Can you imagine if we still lived in a time where people were segregated because of their skin color? I am sure it

My husband totaled his car and was injured

2012-01-12T10:03:00.000-05:00

Last Wednesday, the 4th, my husband was driving home and talking to my son on his blue tooth. All the sudden, there was a lot of interference on the phone and the next thing we heard was my husband yelling my son's name. I started panicking when I heard the tone from his door opening and he was still yelling my son's name. Mr. Husband didn't answer phone for several minutes. My son was crying

I miss my son on the first day back to school

2012-01-03T09:24:00.000-05:00

I am one of the parents who enjoy almost every moment I spend with my son. There are some parents who enjoy the day the breaks are over so they can send their little person back to school. I dread it. I am sitting here wishing that he was here. Sometimes I am on the computer and he is on his, but we are still in the same room. It isn't often that we find common ground to do together, but I

I am hoping for a great 2012

2012-01-01T23:58:00.000-05:00

I am not that good at keeping resolutions, or any plans. It seems if I make a resolution, I will break it without meaning to. Every year I have said I was gaining weight, I have lost. With that spirit, I hope to gain a bunch of weight and stay in my home forever. We shall see how this year goes :) In all honesty, I would like to lose at least 30 pounds in 2012. I have lost roughly 30

The Top 10 great things that happened this year for me

2011-12-27T11:03:00.000-05:00

This is the time that I think about all the wonderful things that have happened in the current year. The Top 10 is in no particular order, since my brain doesn't seem to function that way. A new niece was born. I haven't met her yet, but my son and I will be flying out to see her in February. We finally got our house on the market. Although it hasn't sold after more than 4 months, it is out

I love this season!

2011-12-19T12:55:00.000-05:00

This holiday season always makes me feel happy and cheerful! People are so kind and giving during this time. It is common to see the can drive and toy donation bins overflowing. This is the time of the year people really seem to want to help people. When people are being so kind, it makes me want to be more kind too. I wish that the whole year was like this holidays. Imagine people always

Dale and Thomas Popcorn Six Bag Sampler Review

2011-12-15T02:45:00.001-05:00

I need to tell you that I LOVE Dale and Thomas Popcorn. The fact that it is Gluten free means everyone in my family can eat it. The fact that it is a tasty treat means everyone will eat it. The fact that it is made in America means that we are helping fund jobs in America by buying it. I was sent the following in my 6 sampler pack: Peanut Butter & White Chocolate DrizzleCorn: Twice-As-Nice
