Monster Energy is presenting Supercross!  I am thrilled to know that we will be going, since whenever we have been to any events that have bikes in it, Broxton is on the edge of his seat the whole time.  Not to mention that I have watched Supercross on TV before and I must admit, it looks pretty exciting.  I think seeing it live will be even more thrilling than I think it is already!    Just think of seeing all these bikes racing around a dirt track, trying to see who will come out the winner!   Just looking at the photos, I am so excited to surprise him with this ... especially since it will be close to his birthday

Growing up, were you a prankster?  Well, I totally got pranked a bit ago.  I had a note telling me I had a package waiting for me on the shipping office.  I finally got around to getting it and it had "PERISHABLE" written on it...I freaked out, not knowing what was sent for review and what condition it was going to be in... I opened it and it was a rather large carton of milk...  Then, I opened it up and saw that they got me!   It wasn't milk... It was a new book for me to read!    The Terrible Two   was the name of the book and when I saw that Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) liked it, I knew I was going to have to see what it was about.  I couldn't put it down, I was cracking up at what the pran

Just because Christmas is over, it doesn't mean that the season for giving is over.  With many area's we are facing cold days and even colder nights.  Sure, we have a nice warm bed to snuggle up in, but that isn't the case for many kids around the world.  Lucky for us, Carters has teamed up with the 1 Million Good Nights Pajama Program.  If you are interested in donating, you can fill out the form online and make a gift card donation to help them provide warm pajama's and a great kids book as well.   October 1  marked the start of  Danger Season  when temperatures around the country began to drop. Many of the children we serve do not have warm pajamas to sleep in on cold nights. We need your help,

If you follow me on Instagram , you know that Broxton and I saw the movie Paddington back in December.  Well, since it is being released on January 16th, I can finally share with you just how great and cute and funny and sweet and sad it really was!   I have always heard of Paddington, but have never seen Paddington on TV or even read a Paddington book... Until now.  We saw the movie and fell in love.  We were given a Paddington bear when we left and Broxton actually donated one to his school library (where he has also requested Paddington books to bring home for us to read!)   In Paddington, we get to see how it all starts, with Paddington and his family out in the jungle.  We then follow Paddington on his jo

Hey everyone!!! Hope you have had a great holiday and are back in the swing of things now. Sorry that I have been missing and I really hope you are still with me. Life has been hectic lately and I am finally back and ready to go. Let's see... Lots of personal things have been going on, but the main thing I want to share with you is asking for you to keep my family in your thoughts and prayers... You see, long story short, my granddaddy was placed in the hospital right before Christmas. He spent Christmas in the hospital, with my Mema by his side. For us, that meant going for a visit before Christmas to see him in the hospital and lucky for us, we were able to visit him after Christmas where he was back home.  For those not aware, he has Alzheimer's / dementia and that is just one of the issues he is facing.  The great news?  When I went to see him after Christmas, HE KNEW WHO I WAS!!!!   Talk about an amazing feeling!  I feel like it has been years and years since he kne
