Terrific Tuesday

All said.

A Mom's Pledge

I pledge allegiance
to the mothers
in the united state
of exhaustion,
and to the children
for which they care,
one sisterhood,
under stress,
over scheduled,
with freedom
and sanity for all.

Fashion show..Boy Style

When I was a little girl I LOVED to play "dress up." Now that I have 2 little BOYS they LOVE it too!!! The fashion show the boys have is quite different than the one I used to have though. Here are a few pics I took this morning of my boys dressed up in some of their costumes. Enjoy.

Crafty....

Every once in a while I like to get a little "crafty." I don't really know why, it just makes me feel good... I got this idea for monogrammed Christmas ornaments from 40 Pink Piggies and thought they turned out pretty cute. Whatcha think?
