Celebrate The Small Things -- Dec 18


It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  The brainchild of ViklitCelebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.


This week I'm celebrating...


  • Finished basements.  I could really write an entire blog post on the joys of finished basements, but I'll give you the highlights...
  1. I'm so happy that my children have a 'kid cave' that they can go to when their friends come over. Out of sight, out of mind I say...that's in the Best Parenting 101 handbook, right?
  2. My husband and I can shut the door to the basement and it dampens the noise. This is especially helpful when there is a room full of teenage girls. 
  3. I rarely have to go down there and witness the horrorshow that it is. Of course, when I do have to venture down there (like yesterday) I want to just burn it down...but all the rest of the time it's awesome! Hey, guess who's cleaning the basement this weekend?

  • After feeling sick all week, I think I'm finally on the upswing (I'm not saying this too loudly, as I don't want to jinx it).  I will spare you all the details...believe me, you don't want to know!
  • I won a book! LG Keltner from Writing Off the Edge had a giveway of her new book and I won. Thanks LG for making me feel special! I shall now go buy a lottery ticket while my luck is still hot.
  • Today is the last day of school before Christmas break for my kids! I'm looking forward to spending some time with my babies!


What are you celebrating?

Celebrate The Small Things--Dec 4


It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  The brainchild of ViklitCelebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.


This week I'm celebrating:
  • I'm back!  I haven't posted in such a long time...what a loser I am.  I have a hard time with the spring and fall weather changes, so I've had a lot more bad days than good lately...but I'm going to make an effort to blog a bit more often...and by often, I mean actually posting more than once in a blue moon!  Many thanks to Lexa Cain for not kicking me off the "Celebrate" list!
  • The botox injections that I had into my back/neck at the end of August worked a bit better than the steroids I was getting.  I just went back this Tuesday for a second set (they last anywhere from 3-6 months), and they went a little smoother this time.  Note to self...do a blog post on this.
  • I had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We normally spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws, and this year two of my brother-in-laws (with their families) were there to celebrate with us.  Have I ever mentioned how much I love my in-laws?  They are the best...I am so blessed.
  • My hubby and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary last weekend.  Amazingly, I haven't driven him completely crazy just yet ;)  I love you Jason!!!
