An Evening Apart

Tomorrow night I will not be doing this with my little girl.


She will instead be spending the afternoon, evening, night, AND Friday morning with my big sis L.  Tomorrow Skip and I will be celebrating our five year anniversary {wahoo!!  Mushy, lovey dovey post to follow tomorrow} and in honor of the special day, we will be spending our first night away from Little M...sniff sniff.  I'm happy, excited, and thrilled to be spending almost 24 hours alone with the husband.  Something that has not happened since November 2008.  But I will not be going into this without just a little bit of sadness.

I know Little M is in great hands, and I know she will have a wonderful afternoon, evening, and go down to sleep pretty easily since she has been put to bed by several different family members.  But for the past 20 months, I have always been there for her in the morning.  It's just a big step for this mommy!

So to all you moms out there, when did you first leave your little ones for the whole night?  And how did they handle it?

I promise a recap of how she did on Friday!

    I'm a big baby when it comes to leaving my kids somewhere overnight. Honestly, I hate doing it because I end up worrying about them all. night. long. It took a looonng time for me to leave Gav overnight (probably when he was like 18 months?). And I have yet to do it with Kenna!

    But kudos to you for doing it! You will enjoy the time with your husband and Little M will be that much more excited to see you the next morning :)

    The first time I left Jack for the weekend was HARD!! I cried driving out of the development. But, he was with his daddy (which made it easier for me) and he did so well! I felt like I should have done that sooner because of how well he did! I hope you have a wonderful getaway with your hubby. Mommies need that!

    How'd she do? I'm too late to give you advice, not that I've got that much to give. I've only been apart from Preston a couple of times. Who knew it would be so hard to leave them!

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.
