Mommy-Free Time

Today was a wonderful, wonderful relaxing day.  Since Skip spend most of Saturday on the boat with my dad, he told me I could take a day to myself this week, and I chose today.  I got up early and headed off to the beach...by myself!  No diapers, wipes, epi-pens, or water toys were in my beach bag.  Just some tanning lotion, a diet coke, and the book Eat, Pray, Love {totally behind everyone else on reading this, but I *love* it so far!}

I laid on the beach enjoying the sand and surf until about 11:30 when I had these guys come join me
Did you really think I could go the whole day without them??  We played on the beach for a little while and then went to lunch together..complete with the three of us sharing an ice cream sundae!  After lunch Skip took Little M back home for her nap and I headed back for some more beach time.

I came home in the afternoon to a happy husband and baby playing.  And then....Skip made us all dinner....and did the dishes!!!  Not sure what I did in my earlier life to deserve such an amazing family...but I surely thank God every day for them.

As moms we are constantly giving all of ourselves to our kids and our husbands, and this day of relaxing was greatly appreciated and needed.  I'm now refreshed and ready to face another day of chasing after my little girl!

    That sounds so nice! I just finished that book last month... you're not far behind. I really loved it. Although I almost ate my kitchen before finishing the 'eat' part.

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.
