What Dessert Are You Most Like?

You Are Cheesecake


Rich, sweet, and simply perfect.
You're not boring - you're just the best!

My brunch was a success yesterday! I had so much fun, I forgot to take pictures. Shoot! There ended up being 4 adults and 12 kiddos. The house was a little loud but it was a delight to have my friends over and my kids entertained. One of my friends just had hip surgery so I watched her kiddos for the rest of the day so she could have a break.

We got bad news yesterday. Jason's uncle was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way home from his mom's birthday party. It's such a tragedy. I feel like death has surrounded me this summer and it's getting closer and closer. First my friends In-laws died in a car accident, then another friend's mom died of a heart attack, now Jason's Uncle of a motorcycle accident. I can't help but worry. Loosing Jason is my biggest fear!

Thankfully last year Jason and I got a living trust. It's a little pricey up front but it prevents the need of family having to get an attourney and going to probate court in the even of our deaths. If you live in Texas you can contact John Mahoney at (281) 444-2220. He was awesome and made it a wonderful experience instead of a gloomy one. I have peace of mind that my kids will be taken care of if the worst should happen.

Anyway, I'll be leaving today for Lake Jackson, Texas and will be gone for the weekend for the viewing and funeral. I'll try to check in. I hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend!

That is very smart to get a living trust, that's what my father-in-law does so we were hooked up as soon as we were married! You never know what can happen my husband & I both lost our first spouses. And, some how with family, friends & Heavenly Father we made it and kept going.

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
