What's next?

Today...making banana bread...my oven caught fire...and nothing was in it. *sigh* Can't wait for the weekend....

Pick Your Battles

For as long as I have been a mom I have been told over and over that the art of being a good mom is....pick your battles. So, for 7 years I have let my oldest princess get away with being a picky eater. I haven't pressed her to eat what she doesn't want to eat or feels like eating.
Who wants that battle on top of the "brush your teeth, comb your hair, wash your face, pick up your dirty clothes, put your shoes away, hang up your coat, put your toys away when your done, stop tormenting your sister" battle I go through daily? Well, I don't know if it's the new year, or I'm just fed up cooking 2 different meals every day, but we laid down the law tonight. Kaylee was not getting up from the table until she ate her meatloaf. Two hours and almost a whole box full of tissues later she was done. My beautiful girl ate her meatloaf! I feel like I am on top of the world! What's next? The possibilities are endless! Who knows...maybe tomorrow night will be fried chicken....but I won't hold my breath!

Only 10 days late!

Happy LATE Birthday Dellie Day! Hope it was a great one! Love you oodles and oodles!

My Kyle...

is going through some tough times right now. Keep her in your thoughts.

The Big 3-5

Today I turn 35. It's hard not to reflect back on what I have done in the last 3 decades. I have 3 beautiful girls whom I am very proud of, I have a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally, and I have many friends and family that stand by me no matter what. I couldn't ask for anything more in life...
Thank you to all who text me and blogged about me today! I feel very loved and appreciated. I can only hope the next 35 years are as great as the last. I love you all. And thank you once again.

Oldies but Goodies!
