We had a wonderful holiday week and weekend. Thanksgiving was filled with family and food and both were rather enjoyable. We're lucky that our families live within an hour of each other and stagger the meals. My family does lunch and hubby's family does dinner so it works out wonderfully for us! Of course I forgot my camera. You know what? I didn't even mind that much. Sometimes it sure is nice to just enjoy the day. And we did just that. My mom took this quick pic of Snappy and me and I looo... Continue reading ...

I lived in fear for over 15 years of my life. It wasn't abuse or even a
tangible object that held me captive. I struggled with anxiety and
panic disorder for over a decade and it ruled my life. I
remember my first panic attack. I was 7. At that age it's not likely
you know what's going on and it's impossible to explain it. I remember
trying desperately to tell my confused father what I was experiencing.
I would feel that frustration for a very long time.By the time I was in my late teens I ha... Continue reading ...

I'm thankful for so many things in my life. With Thanksgiving this week and with my unbelievable love of lists, I figured I'd share a few.I'm thankful for my husband. He is my rock. He is my soul mate. He has taught me to be thankful for everything, even in the bad times because the bad times will always turn good again. I love this man.
I'm thankful for my children. Snappy's sweet face and snuggles.
TRex's loving smile and hilarious antics.
I'm thankful for how my children make me want to be a ... Continue reading ...
About a week ago we had an amazing giveaway from Crabtree Handbags on the Giveaway Page of Lolidots. It was super successful and I know how many of you are in love with their handbags and purses. I adore Crabtree, their styles and their unbelievably affordable prices.

A recent thread on Blog Frog got me thinking about destiny, serendipity and pain in the butt moments in time. I've thought about this a lot in my life. Is there desitny? Is there fate? Do things happen for a reason or is it all just random coincidence? After years of life and pondering, I truly think that everything happens for a reason. Everything.The toilet overflowing.

We had such a good time this weekend!Saturday night hubby and I got to go out on date night. It's been so long that we'd seriously forgotten what it was like to go somewhere without the kids! We went to see a fantastic play that my dad was starring in and had such a good time. The play was wonderful and it was so nice to do grown up things and see my brother and sister in law. The kids had a blast in our absence. Hubby's cousin's wife (and my good friend) came over and stayed with them while ... Continue reading ...
So, I think today might be the last day of smoking for hubby and me. I'm not doing any fruity backflips over this. I've been smoking for almost 15 years. I know. That is really terrible. The only times I have stopped were when I was healing after appendicitis and during my two pregnancies. I honestly don't think it's the nicotine that I crave so much as the habit and going through the motions of smoking at certain times. It's a very normal thing in my life. I'm not thrilled to give it up. Yes... Continue reading ...

I have never entered my kids into a contest for their cuteness or anything like that. I think they are great and I'm always super jealous of the people who win but, I've never actually entered one. I'd hate for my unluckiness to rub off on my kids! BUT, the costume that TRex wore this year for Halloween and this subsequent pic was just way too good to pass up the opportunity to enter him in the first contest that came along. I actually said to hubby "Man, he could have totally won a costume c... Continue reading ...

We had such a good time on Halloween! My brother-in-law had a party at his house where adults and kids alike all had a wonderful time. His wife is such a good hostess and always blows us away with all her homemade goodies. Seriously, I can't believe I forgot to take pics of the desert table. It was quite a spread. Cookies, mini cakes, candied apples, personal pumpkin pie bites. That last one was my undoing. I could have made myself sick off those. I will be getting the recipe and posting befo...
