    Strawberry Fever!

    Yum, yum, and yum. Oh yeah, my kids also say yum, yum, yum and YUM. They love em even more than me! Our grocery store has had mad deals on strawberries, sometimes only $1/pack. Currently $2, can’t beat it. They were just 4.99/pack a couple of months ago. These are bright red, shiny, juicy and sweet – so good! We had strawberry shortcake last night and this chocolate lover says it may be the best dessert ever! The pie shop down the street posted a sign that says they are making fresh, strawberry pie, that sounds amazing. I have never had one, look out Granny Scott’s Pie Shop, here I…

    I Finally Learned How to Put on Makeup!

    Thanks to Carissa the Makeup expert, I now, at 37 know how to put on makeup! I am so excited about this. Truth is, I never really learned how to properly put on makeup- just started playing around with it in Jr. High, taking my cues from friends and Madonna, lol. Last week, on Colorado Parent Magazine’s Facebook page there was a post that piqued my interest. It was to recruit 5 local moms, in different stages of motherhood. They wanted the Mom’s to attend a Make-Up Swap and Session with Carissa of Carissa Beauty, a Make Up Artist. Carissa is also the Walmart beauty expert. She has done makeup…

    I Did It!

    So you may not know that I am a computer tech by trade, have been in the I.T. biz for over 13 years now. Whew! Over the past few years my husband and I dove into html, flash and some other web tools. We started updating sites for companies after we got good and now, I created a client website, all on my own! From scratch! Ok well almost scratch. I started with a basic template and went on from there. It was super time-intensive, but it was fun! Now I have 3 more in the making. Check out my first official solo project: www.myradiantwedding.com Feedback, please!

    My Oldest is Graduating…

    from Kindergarten… :O( How do I stop time for just awhile? How do I get my boys to stay so sweet and innocent? How do I get them to want to cuddle with me past the age of what age they make you stop. How do I get them to always think that Mommy is the bestest thing ever? I love my boys and I love seeing them grow and learn but I really want them to stay the same. We always thought it would be awesome to keep a “copy” of your kids at certain ages. For example we would have Preston, aging and growing but we would also…

    Now You Know Why I Am Tired!

    Yep, you guessed it. I am one of those people. One of those people whose children have never slept in a crib, with the except of a nap or two between all 3 of them. In the beginning it was for safety and convenience. Knowing that they are safe and nearby was reassuring. For convenience because I nursed all my boys and it was nice to not even really have to wake up for too long to nurse at night, let alone not having to get up, turn on a light, and the like. So I am a very tired person, in general, because I have never slept without a…

    I love you five-hundred

    Something my two oldest boys have been saying lately makes me bust a huge smile every time! They think that attaching a huge number to things they say really demonstrates how strongly they feel. So when it comes time to saying goodnight, they have been saying: Preston the 6yr old: “I love you sixty billion, five hundred, eight-five” (any large random string of numbers) OR “I love you higher than any number God can count” Oliver simply says: “I love you five hundred” I love it, love it! Makes me feel happy and loved. I remember when I was young when I tried to show my Mom how much I…
