Getting to see him learn and grow, absolutely amazing!  Summer is so fun for us, since there is no worry about having to get up and go to school, it is about enjoying being at home and as always, making memories! One thing I am not fond of?  Running from here to there and having to worry about what to cook for dinner. This summer started off a bit busy for us.  We had his preschool graduation, a big brother graduation, karate classes went to 2 times a week instead of 1 and he was still in baseball! So, although school was out, we still had places to go and things to do!  The last thing on my mind was running to/from karate and baseball wh...

Are you on of the millions of people that just so happens to be watching the Olympics? We are really getting into them! Actually, Broxton has been excited to see the "Pa-Infents" every time they come on! From the opening ceremony, until now, we have watched at some point each day! I learned more about my husband too, I had no clue that he would genuinely take an interest in each sport... from Boxing (that was a given) to the trampoline (okay, let me be honest, I had no clue they even HAD trampoline as a sport)  we are loving it... Side note, (totally time for me to toot my own horn here)  I met an Olympian once... Yes, true story!    A friend and I went to Seattle on vacation one year and we went over to her aunt and uncles house for dinner... Her younger cousin came in (for just a bit and then was out the door to go practice) and we had a brief meeting... Well, how about that little cousin that I met those years ago... Just happens to be COURTNEY THOMPSON...  ...

What are you all doing this summer? Are you travelling?  Have family coming to visit?   Or are you just taking it easy and maybe planning a staycation? No matter what you have planned (or have already done)  Coca Cola and Wal-Mart want to be with you to make it a Summer To Remember! As you know by now, Coca Cola is a given at our house... Like knowing that we WILL have the Air Conditioner on... There will be air to breathe... and we will have coke to drink.  It is funny, if we go somewhere that doesn't offer coke (but brings us one when we order it..) We know the difference, call them out on it and then proceed to order something else... Like Sweet Tea.  :) Did you know that Coca Cola is currently selling packs that contain 28 cokes in them at Wal-Mart?  I noticed the other day, but we had already purchased coke and had plenty at home... so, I did not grab any that trip.  (We will be going back in the next day or two, as our s...

My mom is a pretty amazing woman. I know that I did not appreciate it when I was growing up, but I do now... Maybe because I am a mom myself?  Maybe because I finally stopped being stupid... Either way, I think that Mothers DAY should not just be one day a year...  I know, maybe Mothers Month? Or maybe.. just maybe... every day we could try and show / tell how appreciative we are! Dollar General and Proctor and Gamble are teaming together to do just that: Throughout the month of May, in recognition of moms who do extraordinary things every day for their families and communities, Dollar General® is teaming up with Procter & Gamble® to honor moms – the true Every Day Heroes who have made sacrifices for their families and their communities.  To celebrate moms, Dollar General is inviting customers to upload videos describing why their moms are “Every Day Heroes.”  Videos can be submitted and viewed at  www.dollargeneral.com/ everydayheroes . ...
