Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

From our Ginger Bread House to Yours

Our first attempt at a family Ginger Bread House

I think it turned out quite lovely...especially the ghost in the front yard.

(Love you Mr. Wonderful.)

Stuffing Stockings for the Little Ones

Three super moms at the 2010 Stocking Party

Rock Star Mom is a little excited about this closet.

Love these ladies! Had the best time catching up on how graceful I can spill a bottle of water on black jersey pants while touring a million dollar home and remembering how lucky I am when it comes to shaving. Yes, this is what some girls talk about when left alone without children or husbands to tend to. Yet another reason I love being a girl!

Updated pic of Super Woman A. Like the other ladies above,

they're all as beautiful as ever.

Thanks @PRsarahevans! #commentz

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

Pushing Forward

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. ~Tom Wilson

I think this quote sums up my thoughts on certain relationships. I hear my new mother-in-law saying, "it is what it is." True. But, I am human and find myself getting caught up in the scorecard of wrongdoings based on incredibly trivial acts that after time, absolutely do not matter. So, instead of being STUCK and holding on tight to the negativity, I push forward with the love and encouragement of what's possible sans the unnecessary drama.

Thank you November for your lessons and for reminding me just how grateful I am for every single part of my life!

Go Tigers!

Matt-Dog participated in his first ever Pop Warner Regional Championship Game.

They lost by two points. Heck of a game!
