He Makes My Heart Soar 2007-09-19 08:26:42 If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know how much I simply adore my husband. He is not perfect, nor am I, but for me he’s pretty darn close. I can’t express in words, how much I respect and love him. I’ve come to realize that each year we are [...] Read more:Heart
Running On Fumes 2007-09-14 07:51:04 Apparently this is what happens when you become so busy with life, playing wife, playing mom to a energetic toddler, and just keeping busy, you never take time for yourself! I am needing a break. My tank is on E, I need to find the nearest fuel station as soon as I can. I’m spent.

It’s Been A Hard’s Day’s Uh, Week…. 2007-09-11 08:41:34 It’s so good to be back to blogging, at a permanent place. I’m so thrilled you all enjoy the new site! I do as well, but it did take a long time to get here! Whew boy…. was it a long process! But thanks to some major help from a very talented blogger Sarah, [...] Read more:hellip

A Blah Kind Of Post… 2007-09-04 12:23:30 I hate when my posts slowly turn into little spurts of updates on the life and times of ME, but I suppose you’ll have that from time to time. There are so many insightful thoughts swirling inside my head that I want to post about, but my fingers are tired and I just don’t have [...] Read more:hellip
Not Your Everyday Beauty School Tool 2007-08-29 15:37:37 Don’t you just love opening your front door to find a box with your name on it!? It’s like the best thing ever, right?
Now really I must say, this won’t excite you all as much as it did for me.
Humm….what could it be?
Why…. it’s CLIPPERS!!!
Oh yeah! This bad boy sure is a far cry from [...] Read more:Beauty

Stepping Outside My Box 2007-08-28 12:13:01 I suppose the title could say “stepping outside my comfort box.” Let’s explain, shall we? I have many friends, near and far. These friends are gathered through time from church, college, high school, and work. Most of these friends live pretty far from me. Those who have children, are much older than Landon. Some friends [...] Read more:Outside

I Have a Confession to Make… 2007-09-28 14:02:14 OK, so I need to be honest with my readers here. I need to confess something that I’m kind of embarrassed to admit. Now, before I spill the beans with you all, let me grab a helmet to protect my head from the rocks boulders you’re about to throw at me! Are you ready? Here [...] Read more:hellip
Rush, Rush! Hurry, Hurry! 2007-09-25 21:31:43 This month has seemed to slip through my fingers. Where it has gone, I’m not quite sure. I’m realizing months and years do this to you as you get older. I remember back in Grade, Jr, and High School thinking I couldn’t grow up fast enough. Time then, seemed to creep on by. I wondered [...] Read more:Hurry
Curtains and Dragons 2007-09-21 14:37:39 Alright, so I’m finally posting pictures of my living room curtains I completed almost a week ago. I’m sure you all forgot about the fact that I was even making them. And if seeing picture after picture of each room’s curtain makeover doesn’t do it for you, then I’m sorry. Perhaps this isn’t even [...] Read more:Curtains

De-Lurking Time! 2007-10-02 23:25:01 It’s late. 12:00 a.m. if you’re so curious. I’m still awake, obviously, but it’s all good. Since I am awake and it is now Wednesday, perhaps you’d be interested in knowing that that today is a pretty important day in the blogging world.
(Drum Roll Please)
Today is De-Lurking day. Yes, that’s right. Last year I [...]
Daddy’s Moving On Up… 2007-10-01 20:22:18 As much as I would like to blog about everyone in the Flickr community having their pictures stolen, and how it sickens me to near death, I will not. And no, none of my pictures were stolen, at least not that I know of. I pray not. But better to be safe than sorry. Thus, [...] Read more:Daddy

21 Months…. 2007-10-12 13:44:29 Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock, can you hear that?…It’s time ticking away. Landon is 21 months old today. (did you like how that rhymes, because I totally did not plan that) My little man is growing and changing daily. I know that my last two posts were about me being worried and getting over being worried about his [...] Read more:hellip

Speech Update… 2007-10-07 21:36:02 First and foremost, I want to start this post out with a huge THANK YOU for all the wonderful caring comments and emails. They meant the world to me. Seriously, you guys ROCK! After that, getting Landon evaluated, and some much needed prayer time this weekend, I’m feeling a lot better, really.
So yes, Landon [...] Read more:hellip

What Those Parenting Books Don’t Tell You… 2007-10-04 14:20:11 No one ever prepared for the emotional and mental roller coaster of motherhood. To read that sounds like Landon is a newborn! Hard to believe that this part of motherhood can still catch me off guard at times, even though Landon is almost 2. I was totally prepared for the physical aspect, well sort of. [...] Read more:Books

A Bit Of A Time-Out 2007-10-17 15:07:27 I.AM.TIRED. Worn down. Out of it. Blame the weather (cooler temps), an active toddler, being busy with life, etc. but all I want to do is nap. Yet I can’t nap all day, because I have so much to get done, so many places to be, and duties that need kept up with. One thing [...]
Photography Fun 2007-10-15 13:06:00 As I mentioned before in past posts, I’m falling in love with fall. Last year I was only excited about making hot soups and experiencing trick or treat for the first time with Landon. This year, of course I’m pumped about all those things that come with fall, but this year I have my SLR [...]
Umm…Is This Thing On? 2007-10-22 21:28:10 Check, check, 1- 2- 3… Can you hear me? OK, good. So I’m alive, rested up, and have a head full of posts to blog about, yet can’t seem to get them in order so they make some sense. My last few days have been filled with lots of naps, cuddling with my two favorite [...] Read more:hellip

No More Naive Know-It-All 2007-10-24 14:38:55 Before I was a mom I thought I knew everything there was to know about babies/toddlers. I mean after all, I babysat through out the years, and helped my mom take care of my brother who is 12 years younger than me. I thought that qualified me enough, right? When I was pregnant I used to hate, and I mean hate, when friends, who had children, would give me advice. I would roll my eyes (privately) when they would try to prepare me for the ups and downs of motherhood. Good grief, the nerve of them, who did they think they were? My child would be perfect ALL.THE.TIME, motherhood would be sheer bliss everyday, and being a mom would become second nature. ( I was pretty naive, to say the least.)
For some reason, us gals feel as if we are to know everything about raising children. From the minute they are born, we even feel like a failure if we can’t get that newborn to stop crying at 2 in the morning, or we’re struggling with breastfeeding issues. Or later, we feel like failures whe Read more:Naive
My Side You Rarely See 2007-10-29 21:45:34 When we weren’t trick or treating, or stuffing our face with candy, I was spending many hours taking pictures and editing them all this weekend. I’ve been needing an updated picture of myself for my cosmetologist license for some time now, and have been putting it off. The one on there now is from October [...]
One Dry Basement, but hold the NaBloPoMo please 2007-11-02 08:51:59 Wow! 13 comments on that last post!? You guys rock. Thank you so much for the comment love. You all are too sweet and kind with the compliments, and I’m so glad that I could bring a chuckle to you! That’s what blogging is all about right?

Christmas Decor Cheer 2007-11-09 14:26:42
Yep, you are seeing right, those would be Christmas
decorations in the photo above. Yep, I am very much aware that it isn’t even the middle of November yet, but Hobby Lobby was having one sweet sale! I just had to. The ones we use now, Brian bought way before we were even dating!? I mean, the guy had great taste and all, but it was time to update. Don’t you think? I bought a tree topper, skirt, and 6 boxes of bulbs for 83 bucks, which I think was a good deal. Maybe, maybe not? I only need a few more items to decorate the other rooms and figure closer to the end of the month, some more good sales will come up.
So, earlier this week I went and replaced all my tree’s old (gold and white) decorations for something new. As you know, or maybe you don’t know, my favorite colors are blue and silver. Hands down, you really can’t go wrong if you buy me anything with either color. Let’s see. I drive a silver car, and we’re looking for a silver truck. My Read more:Cheer

Allow Me to Introduce You… 2007-11-07 14:08:25 My hands are tired, and my head is spinning just a bit. I have emerged from my crafting room, alive. I’ve been in there now for a few days. I did come out occasionally to take a potty break, attend to Landon, and upload pictures and write descriptions of the items that I made. When I wasn’t doing that I was busy with life. I think I can breathe now—maybe, maybe not. But for now, I am ready to share my new shop! I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I have been working on this thing, it seems like forever.
OK, so here’s what you’ve been waiting on, right? The link, the link. Give us the link already! Introducing&hellip

Imagine Design. Brian came up with the name! How cool is he? I designed the banner, while he watched in awe, the fun that is Photoshop. We make a pretty neat team sometimes.
Now, I’m just starting out, so give me more time to add more items and refine my selling skills. It’s been a while since I’ve been in retail Read more:Allow

Thank God For Play Clothes 2007-11-13 15:17:01
Today was just one of those days I felt beyond blessed, thankful, and just full. God has been so good to my family and I. He has given us/me so much, how can I ever ask Him for more?
It’s in the high 50’s today, warm sun, and no wind. My perfect fall day. We did some yard work late this morning, we as in me as well. We raked leaves, we played in the leaves, we covered the AC units, put away all the outdoor toy structures. It felt so good to work the arm muscles, feel the warm sun on my face, breathe in the fresh fall air, and hear my son laughing as he tore through piles of leaves. We are now ready for the winter months that soon approach. It was a good morning, full of yard work, laughter, and of course pictures!
And speaking of pictures, thanks to Shutterfly.com, I have made and ordered my Christmas cards already with pictures I took of Landon last night. (If you don’t use them, you should. I have every.single.photo backed up with them, they rock!) I put Landon i Read more:Clothes
