Happy Birthday Little M!


At exactly 8:39 pm tonight, my Little M will turn ONE. She is no longer a baby anymore, but a toddler. It is a crazy mix of emotions I am feeling tonight. I love, love *love* the stage she is in now. She is mobile and laughs. She claps her hands when happy and gives the best little hugs. She eats real food and loves snuggling on the couch with Skip and I. But as I look back on how fast this year has flown by, I know that before I know it she will be 5, 10, 20 and moving on with her life. I wish I could keep her just how she is forever. {I do also occasionally miss her as a newborn, when everything was so fresh and new, and she was happiest just falling asleep in my arms all day}

We had a great day today. We just hung out as a family...it was such a gift that Skip was off today!! We got up and opened presents. Then we went to church and after went to the diner for some pancakes!

We spent the afternoon watching football, eating cake, and then took Little M for a walk in her new Radio Flyer wagon.
We ordered pizza for dinner and Little M really seemed to like it! {that's my girl!} We finished up the night watching her new birthday Elmo DVD and put her to bed.

I cannot believe all that has happened in the past year. It has been the greatest, most rewarding year of my life. I could not love my Little M more!!!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
