It’s TLT….Top of the List Tuesday. I make lists.  Lots of them. I tend to be a perfectionist and lists are my thing.  From being a teacher to becoming a mom, I’ve always thrived on making lists…categorizing all the tasks that must be completed.   Most days, my brain is on overdrive….trying to finish far too many things in an unreasonable amount of time.  I get it in my head that I am superwoman and can accomplish more than is {Read More}

So, it’s official.  Summer has got a hold of me and won’t let go (not that I’m asking it to, especially after the horrid winter we had).  It’s just that the start of summer has been relentless….the months of May and June have been off the charts busy.  With Memorial Day festivities, Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations, first birthday parties, anniversaries….it’s hard to find time to sit down and write.  This lady is not complaining, because it has been a {Read More}

To be honest, I wasn’t certain that I made the right decision. I doubted myself.  A lot.  Just this week, my husband asked me, “Aren’t you glad you made the decision to stay home with {Read More}

Exactly a week from today, this little guy will be one years old.  How in the world do I have a toddler already?  This just can’t be possible!  We will be celebrating with family and friends at his sports themed party next weekend.  So to prepare, what better than a little photo sesh?!?   We are so thankful to the extremely talented photographer, Donna Hill, for capturing these priceless moments of our little guy.  I know you are just dying {Read More}

If you knew me in high school or college, you will fully understand my affinity for this awesome video. I used to always say that I must have been a rapper in my past life…just had to be.  While I can’t say that I have the best dance moves or lyrical skills, I’d like to think I look somewhat like the actors (big and small) in this short commercial.  Specifically, I think the little babe in the white dress portrays {Read More}
