I don't remember the last time I had the girls over for a little get together. With our busy schedules with work, our kids and home duties, having a girls night in/out is always placed on the back burner. And it shouldn't be that way. Women need to get together every now and then to unwind, drink some tea, coffee or wine (whatever … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day: I’ll Always Be Daddy’s Little Girl
While organizing my closet this past weekend, I came upon a large envelope with pictures, old birthday cards and a few of my high school papers (Yes, I'm a bit of a hoarder! LOL). Being that today is Valentine's Day, I thought it was perfect to post one of my favorite items I found. It was a greeting card from my dad from 1987. I was thirteen years old.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Just when I thought Valentine's Day meant just another day, my wonderful husband hands me a huge heart-shaped box of chocolates and a beautiful card. He even gave my sister (who babysat all 3 kids for me yesterday so I can attend an event) a box of chocolates as well as our two daughters. Isn't he the sweetest? He wasn't always interested in Valentine's Day so this was a HUGE surprise. He always said it was all "too hyped up and all bullsh*t". So needless to say, his feelings for the … [Read more...]
