Passing on the Love of Reading.

This is a picture of my Dad and the kids this past weekend. All three of them were so engrossed with Grandpa reading "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein, they did not even look up as I was shooting away. He used to do the same thing for my brother and I and it is nice to see the tradition continue.

Hmmm...

How You Live Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. Your friends tend to be a as quirky as you are - which is saying a lot! You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them.

How Do You Live Your Life?

Going for Vintage Chic-What do you think??

Trying some new stuff that I want to be able to offer clients. Need some feedback on the over all look of this. Thanks!

Draw the Poison out and then let it go.

The best thing I have done for myself lately is to identify people in my life who are just nothing but stress, headaches and hurt feelings. I am letting them go. Not that I may never talk to them again, but I will not spend any time thinking about them. How they hurt my feelings, how they are nuts, how they treat other people horrible. All I am looking for is to be a happy, positive person. That is hard enough to do with just regular life-let alone with the Turkeys getting you down. It doesn't matter what you do or say, certain people are going to be nothing but either a drain of positive energy or straight up poison. I know everyone reading this knows what I am talking about-the crazy relative (I know-which one), the too cool for school co-worker, the person that is all about what you can do for them. Just going to let them go. Peace out.

My little Brother is all grown up.

This is my Brother Mark and his wife Sharon. I had a blast hanging out with them Easter weekend and was bummed when they headed out. They are so cute and in love (picture me gagging). I don't know what Sharon has done to Mark, but he seems so happy -Yikes-that can't be-not my dark cloud artist Brother. It's true. He even helped out with domestic stuff this weekend and usually that just isn't his thing. God-Love is Powerful! So Sharon, if your reading this, Thank you for loving my Brother. He means a lot to me and you do as well. Mark, if your reading this, be good to Sharon so she doesn't leave your butt :) See you guys in May!

My favorite shot from Easter.

Gotta love the hat! If you look really close you can see my sister in law and I in Cate's eyes.

My "Babies" are 3!!!

I can not believe it! I feel like I blinked my eyes and all of a sudden instead of two little babies I have two little people with these incredible personalities. Personalities that can make you pee your pants laughing one minute to wishing "Kid tossing" was legal the next. Every time I get an "I love you Mommy" I can't but help but feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

On Saturday we celebrated their birthdays with family and friends. We got our cakes from the "Cake Lady"-Alex wanted Vanilla cake with Spider Man and Cate wanted Chocolate cake with a Princess. On top of hosting family for the weekend and having a party and getting ready for Easter, Ted and I decided to put Cate and Alex in regular underwear. So every 1/2 an hour we get both of them to pee/poop. We live for this excitement!

I look forward to the next three years and will not wish a second of it away!

For as long as I can...

I will not address anyone as Dude, Man or Dog. I will also refrain from using them in any form of communication.

One is Silver and the other Gold.

The title of this blog post is the last line of a poem about old and new friends. Old friends are Gold. At least mine are. These are my Glassboro Girls. I grew up with them. They have seen me through soooo many stages of my life and I have done the same with them. We all lead such different lives and it makes getting together so crazy. This is the first time in over 2 years that we have all been together in the same place at the same time. Even after 15 years of following our own paths, we still can hang out, stuff our faces and catch up on all of the things going on. If I don't say it enough all of these women are precious in my life-much better than Gold.
