Saturday was Elliott’s basketball tournament. We live in a small town, so her tournament was not an all day, all weekend kind of event. There were only four teams in her league with a single elimination tournament. Being from a small town, every team had at least one of Elliott’s best friends on the roster. Since the start of the season, I think she had played each team at least four times, so she kind of knew what she was up against.

Well I spent a cold last Thursday making these lovely little chaps & was trying to name them & thought it would be a lovely chance for a giveaway!



What I want you to do, is comment on this post, telling me what name you would like to give to the little fella on the bottom here, on his own,…

Close all the doors; turn off the lights; draw the curtains. I left my comfort zone, just for a short time, then retreated after realising I wasn't ready. I wanted to join in, I really did. I wanted to experience what confidence felt like, how the rush would beckon me forward, away from all I knew.

When I was back at school, I used to occasionally have something my roommates coined Sunday-night syndrome. You know, the nervous stomach, the fatigue ... that unsettled feeling.

It wasn't because I was a bad student, or I was dreading a test or anything. I would just look at everything I had to do that week and feel overwhelmed.

These days, I look at my helpful mom…

My blog is pretty new and I know that there are some people following my deals/posts on a semi-regular basis but I cannot shake the feeling that I am posting things that only I am reading! LOL I am sure it goes away after the blog is well established but it is just such a strange feeling. I read so many blogs a day I feel bad that I don't comment to let the blogger know that I read her work. KWIM? I am so excited to be entering in this new part of my life and I am just hoping my "blog baby"…

Last night Matt and I watched Waiting for Superman, a documentary by Davis Guggenheim...wow, heavy stuff! Davis takes an in depth look at the state of public education and the affect it is having on our children.  As a mom and a teacher, I found Guggenheim's message to be both powerful and…

We joke that after every meal my mom makes, my granddad- Papa- says that meal was the best he’s ever had.  We’ve kind of adopted that saying as a way of life.  After all, life’s too short, shouldn’t everything be the best ever? This chicken and rice is one my favorite dishes my mom makes.  It’s the best ever.

Do/did any of you ever get really impatient waiting for your due date to get closer and for baby to arrive?  Some days I feel like I’m going crazy with the waiting – and that my due date will never come.  I really want to wash up all of his clothes, blankets, sheets, car seat, etc.  REALLY bad.

Patience has never been one of my strong suits.  I’ve always…
