The next best thing to attending a killer party is hosting one! I love having parties, especially for my kids. Their birthdays are my absolute favorite days of the year and I love celebrating them. My daughter turned 16 this year and we had ourselves a little luau with family and friends. I purchased herContinue reading “Party Like a Rockstar”

Celebrating 39
I hope everyone is having a great summer so far! My day started off with a surprise breakfast from the kids. They woke up at 5:30 and drove to Starbucks, but the line was too long so they went to McDonald’s instead so we would have enough time to eat together before Mike had toContinue reading “Celebrating 39”
April Fools!
Those were the exact words the judge who married us said at the conclusion of our wedding ceremony 20 years ago. 20 YEARS! How in the world did that happen? Thursday, April 1, 1999 was a day that forever changed my life. I was 18 years old, had just graduated high school 10 months earlierContinue reading “April Fools!”
What Goes Up…
I took a little tumble off of my scrapbook table on Sunday. I was standing on the table adhering a vinyl saying over my window as part of my scrapbook room makeover and stupidly tried to get off the table by stepping on my rolling chair. The chair tipped over and I literally came crashingContinue reading “What Goes Up…”
Valentines Schmalentines
I’m lame. I’m a disgrace to women everywhere. I do not love Valentines Day! How many holidays do we need in a single year?!?! I’ve never been a big fan of the traditional Valentines Day. Flowers, chocolates, dinner, movies…I am guilty of biting into unopened bags of the big conversation hearts to check the softnessContinue reading “Valentines Schmalentines”
# Goals
New Year, New You! How many January 1st’s have started like this: “This will be the year I lose the weight, buy a house, pay off debt, quit my job, go back to school, join a gym…”. Blah, Blah, Blah! I was a big fan of resolutions when I was naive and in my earlyContinue reading “# Goals”
Throwback Thursday…Santa Failed
I don’t have a favorite Christmas memory. I remember having good Christmas’ as a kid, and as an adult. One Christmas that stands out is Jake’s 2nd Christmas (2001). I found this bouncy horse at Kmart and knew I’d found the perfect Santa gift! It came in a big box and I thought “How hardContinue reading “Throwback Thursday…Santa Failed”
Pupdate on Jingle Bells
Just in time for Christmas, some good news about everyone’s favorite naughty chipoodle! The trio of heart medication seems to be working. Jingle Bells had a vet appointment over the weekend and although her heart murmur will never decrease, her symptoms of congestive heart failure have improved. I honestly don’t know how the vet canContinue reading “Pupdate on Jingle Bells”
