Inaugural Post!!




Hi All!









Welcome to my blog. This is my first post! Woo Hoo! I'd like to say I will post often, but let's be real here. I have three active kids and one active guy to take care of. Not to mention a house, a job, other commitments, and I'd like to think, a life! So, I will post as often as I can. I will aim for three times a week.

For those of you who arrived here via Etsy, YOU ROCK! I think Etsy is the best thing since sliced bread. :) If you arrived here by chance... Hello! Ok, enough already...

A little about me that you won't find in my profile... I'm afraid of spiders, I ride a motorcycle, I'm trying to teach myself to sew... (stay tuned for project pics), I love chocolate, dislike waiting in lines (duh), love vintage, willing to try anything once, struggle daily to maintain balance and love, love, love my family!

All righty then, enough for tonight. I'll probably post tomorrow again, see if I can get the hang of this blogging stuff... I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes...

Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow. Doug Firebaugh

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means..

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d
