Surprise Birthday Weekend!

Many of you know that I received the BEST surprise this past Friday on my birthday. My mom and husband worked together for weeks planning a surprise trip to Canada. Not only was I surprised, but Olivia and Judah were surprised too! It was the best 4 days I've had in forever. Here's how it went down. Friday, like any other day, I dropped Olivia off at school, and went out to run some errands. Later that afternoon I took Judah with me to the grocery store, and when I got home Scott was already home. He had a few meetings during the day, so I asked him to come home early, so I wasn't surprised to see his car in the garage. However, when I walked into our house he almost ran into me coming out. He seemed shocked to see me, and then had this suspicious look on his face. I didn't think too much of it, and just walked into the house. I was carrying Judah though, and when he got far enough into our laundry room where he could see around the corner, he starting leaning out of...

New Beginnings

New beginnings. Today is a day of new beginnings for my family. Today, Olivia had orientation for kindergarten. Many of you know we put her in Kindergarten last year waiting to see how the year went to decide whether or not to send her on to 1st grade, or put her in another year. Because her birthday falls in the middle of the year, she could really go either way. So, she's in another year of kindergarten. This morning didn't leave me with the same type of nerves that I had on the first day last year, obviously, because I'd been there, done that. However, Olivia is at a different school this year (K-6th grade), so it was all too real to me this morning that my baby girl is actually a "big" school girl now. Big school. Classrooms. Big kids. Buses. BIG backpacks. Lunch at school. The whole 9 yards. THAT frightens me! A couple of weeks ago while we were out shopping for her, I found myself frozen at the check-out. I looked down at the lunch box, water bottle, and sn...

The Gift of Solitude

I received a phone call this afternoon from my husband. He called to inform me of an appointment I have this Saturday morning. An appointment HE set up for ME. He called to tell me that he scheduled a relaxation massage for me, and following that a manicure. Um..ladies?! Is that not one of the best surprises ever? We're getting down to the final days before we leave for the Southern U.S. for Christmas, and I have a TON to do. Between list-making, cleaning, laundry (which he's done ALL of), and packing, I really have no time to be unmotivated. However, here I am. Procrastinating. I'm the world's best! Scott knows how stressful the last couple of days before a trip can be for me. So, he decided to make sure to schedule me some time of solitude. I get a spa day, and he takes the kids for the day. THE. BEST. All you moms out there, you know what the gift of solitude is like for you. HEAVEN. It doesn't have to be a spa day, or shopping day, or anything like that at a...
