Today was N's first day of Pre-K and it totally rocked. It will take some time adjusting to the fact that our day has to get started a little earlier in order to get everything done that needs to be, and making sure he has lunch in time to be…

Back to school traditions.
One of the things I've done for N every year before his first day of school is make him some sort of special treat. Last year I tried my hand at the pencil cake which turned out great. This year I opted for something a little more simple. I made…

One last hurrah!
Tonight we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's as a surprise before N heads to Pre-K on Tuesday. The kids had a blast. I ended up running into a friend from church so that was nice. Other than that we enjoyed the pizza, games and of course getting to…

We’re not Irish, but no one noticed.
I took the kids to Irish Fest today and we had such a great time. The kids got to get their faces painted, jump on bounce houses, be part of a cool concert, and eat some yummy food! They split a fresh squeezed cherry lemonade and some hot kettle corn. …

Five Things: Labor Day Weekend
Although I never take a day off as a mom (as I am sure many of you can relate to), I am looking forward to a few good things this weekend. I am finally getting a much needed – and deserved – haircut and color. I am excited to try…

It’s only a matter of time.
Recently I've been telling N to "act your shoe size, not your age!" when his behavior is less than acceptable. I am not looking forward to the day I have to actually declare that as an opposite statement because that will mean he's getting bigger! He's such a great helper to…

Friends & Fondue.
Tonight I enjoyed a fun night out with a few local moms for some tasty treats! We celebrated Ladies Night at Melting Pot. I hadn't been there since the time I took my sister there and it was just as good as I remember it. We got a steal of …

Declining industry.
I had an appearance this morning on KCTV 5 news, a station I actually had not been to before today, and I totally learned about something I never thought would actually happen. You know how when you watch the news and you see the anchors there, looking into the camera lens…
