Good morning everyone! I hope this holiday-for-some start to the week is giving everyone a little more chance to relax. Today I want to introduce you to someone very important. Someone you may have seen before, or depending on how long you've been around here, you may not have. This is Shiba. No, she's not a fox. She's our OB {original baby} and she's a Shiba Inu. Real original on the name, I know. We got Shiba when she was only 4 months old, back in the spring of 2005. Skip had just come home from Iraq.

I feel like I blog alot about Little M these days, but not really what's it's like to be a mom, which was the whole point of this blog to begin with. 3. Save more money. I would really like to beef up our savings this year and put away some money for the million home improvement projects I would like to work on! 4. Organize ...
