It’s Friday, it’s Friday! There is aways something about this day each week where I am up and at it with a smile on my face…maybe it’s because I know I get to indulge in my weekly Starbucks treat, and I know it’s going to be a pleaser 😉 Speaking of my favorite, yet still overpriced concoctions, today through […]

Last year, I started a tradition of posting some of my favorite gifts to give to those on our holiday shopping lists, and since I had such positive feedback and inquiries asking if I was going to do it again this year, I thought why not! I’m starting with larger gifts for those extra special people […]

Seriously? It’s Thursday already…this week is flying by, quite possibly due to the amount of extra-curricular activities occupying my time. Monday night we had training for Junior League, which was a discussion about social media–interesting to see others’ opinions of how we interact online and just how all of us are “building our brand” whether we think […]

How Far Along? 22 weeks, 4 days…122 days to go! Size of Our Little Darling? Miss Caroline is a spaghetti squash–whatever that is. She is 11 inches long and weighs a little more than a pound Maternity Clothes? The majority of my wardrobe this week is still pre-baby tops and dresses, but integrating maternity pants/leggings/jeans…so […]

Ahhh…the real fun begins. We’re currently in the process of designing our nursery—obviously a big undertaking for such a small little wee one who will soon occupy the space {March is just around the corner after all}. Contrary to some, I am looking for a calming, relaxing atmosphere for Miss Caroline…no bright colors, no baby-ish […]

Christmas shopping has taken over! I know I mentioned this already, but I am giving myself a high-five at the progress thus far…and I am still rolling. With so much traveling and having every weekend booked from now until Christmas, it’s time to get down to business and get this shopping knocked out–my goal being […]

Did you all have a fabulous weekend? I was delighted to spend Friday night with friends, but mostly surrounded with the family for the rest of my time away–weekends like this just don’t come around nearly as often as I’d like. Christmas Village was a crazy fest! There were so many more people than usual, and apparently […]

Ever had someone you aspired to be? Someone you looked up to more than anything, and knew you wanted to be just like them…meet that person for me. Ever since I found out I was going to be a mother, I knew I was embarking on an ever-encompassing mission to be better than I was […]

1. I apologize for blowwing up Twitter last night…the CMAs were just too much fun to take in and the girls and I were going back and forth–I was giggling so much Jeff thought I was going to lose it…scary man duet with Jennifer Nettles, awkward Scotty American Idol boy, sequins everywhere–including the men’s outfits, […]

We watched Crazy Stupid Love last night and I have to rate it a solid B. The story line was good, the actors were perfectly cast, the mix of humor and drama was adequate, and the eye candy on Ryan Gosling practically naked for a good portion of the movie, score! I’ve already knocked out […]
