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 […]

I’ve got nothing clever for a fun title this week…my creativity is stuck a bit I guess as I am trying to work through a monstrous to-do list with seemingly no end in sight–why do I do this to myself? **21 week picture taken by Candice during our Christmas picture photoshoot this past weekend… How […]

You’ve been waiting patiently for this post, haven’t you? 😉 The talk of names began weeks and weeks months ago, when we first discovered we were pregnant… Jeff and I throwing out potential ideas and searching websites for baby names, but then I got completely overwhelmed and had to take a step back. Mom suggested buying one […]

What a whirlwind weekend…I don’t know how we managed to do so much in such a short amount of time, but it was a blast–yes, I am still tired from all the fun, but I’ll recover sometime soon! Friday, we headed straight to Knoxville for Julie and Jon’s engagement party, hosted by my BFF Bev […]

It’s the little things in life, right? This is my happy list of all the things I am loving this week… Skinny Peppermint Lattes at Starbucks…they must have gotten my complaints advice on offering this as an option to help bypass “holiday weight gain”–a tall is only 100 calories! Water for Elephants DVD…the hubs surprised me […]

First of all, thanks to so many of you who participated in the giveaway from my new sponsor…Heidi was sweet enough to send me a bib for Little Miss and I absolutely love it! Not to mention, it’s orange and white–won’t that be perfect for football fun next fall?? 😉 With that, the winner of […]
