I could hear his footsteps and his breath as he entered our room. His little boys socks, scooting, “swish, swish” as he approached my side of the bed. I blearily looked at the bright red digital numbers on the opposite night table They screamed “2:34!!!!” at me. If I had still been up and awake…
Ponies & Flowers – WW & You Capture
Some of our good friends had a super fun birthday party for their son and daughter with a “western” theme on Saturday. Ponies and all. Have you ever seen a soccer playing Cowboy? Well, now’s your chance! I mean it doesn’t get much better than that, now does it? 😀 (he had to miss part…
Missing School
It was a school night and as the warm water rushed out of the shiny faucet, I climbed into the tub for my bath. I saw the bright pink bottle of bubble bath with that silly bubble guy smiling back at me. I grabbed it and started to unscrew the cap when my Mom walked…
Steppin Out Saturday and Mommy & Me
This weekend was quite busy with two (three if you count dinner out for me) birthday parties. I also planted flowers out front and Tim did all the laundry and started cleaning house in preparation for my parents coming this next weekend to help us celebrate The B Man’s 7th birthday (what?? You still clean…
It’s My Birthday!
I love it when my birthday falls on the weekend, don’t you?Today is a really good day. I woke up in my warm bed with one of my most favorite little boys next to me (the other “boys” were already up preparing a surprise for me…). Yes, there are days that I get a tad…
So, Um, I Kinda Lost 30 Pounds…
The other morning I stepped on the scale and glanced down at the number between my feet and a HUGE smile came across my face. I’ve done it, y’all. I’ve lost 30 pounds!! The number on the scale isn’t lying. All the running. All the “low-carbing”. All the Zumba classes. All the desserts resisted. It…
Dreaming of a full night’s sleep…
Sometimes motherhood smacks you in the face. I kinda feel liked I’ve been smacked around a lot lately. I have some emotional bruises to prove it. My kids may too. But I hope they are healed by the hugs and kisses I dole out and the jokes we tell and the times we spend playing…
Ahh, to be young again… WW & You Capture
The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young. There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young. I don’t think it’s a waste at all… Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all…
And With Her She Brought Forgiveness
The room was cold and bright. I was shaking just as I did the last time. I was more aware of what was going to happen, which was both a good and bad thing. Would they have to give me oxygen again? Would the nausea kick in? I told myself to breathe long, deep breaths…
My BIRTHDAY is coming up, why don’t we celebrate with a give away?!
I love my birthday. I always have. I love that it’s at the beginning of my favorite season, spring. And well, I have to admit I love that it’s a day in which I KNOW there will be cake. Because the MAIN requirement even above gifts, for my birthday, is cake. Preferably chocolate. So yes,…
