“Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.”

George Eliot, WRITER (1819-1880)

Our First Dance....

Monday night, November 22nd....around dinner time....listening to the oldie station...the "Eye of the Tiger" came on, so of course I turned it up (haha)....started to dance....a crazy dance because how else can you dance to "Eye of the Tiger"....and there it was....our son, Garrett, started to also dance....so, I held his 2 little hands and we danced...moving slowly to the the beat, side to side and around n' around...his little feet...one going up and one going down, so I started to dance just like him...it was the best thing ever and completely made my day!!!!!

Remembrance Day...

Please check-out my dear friend, Lana's website...

Fabulous...and here is a photo of me to prove it!

Fall is Definitely Here....

And I think that started awhile ago...the leaves have been changing color...you can smell Autumn in the air and feel the crisp, cool wind on your face....ahhhh - time for warm, cozy sweaters...along with Pumpkin Spice Latte's from Starbucks!!!!

Yes my friends, again...it's been awhile...summer came and went, although...summer wasn't much of summer this year - we had the craziest weather EVER! Does anyone disagree with that??

We're already 8 1/2 months into 2010 - WOW!!

All the kids are back in school...time to think about Halloween...and Christmas (yikes)...already started my Christmas shopping (haha)!

Our son, Garrett, turned 21 months old yesterday...he's well on his way to turning 2 years old, after that...no more age by "months", but by "years"...

Some "Girl" time this weekend and so looking forward to it - all us Mom's need a break :)

Hugs!

TELLING details

These are my telling details...great idea from my latest Chatelaine magazine...

I define downtime as...
lying on my bed with a stack of magazines, just savouring the silence.

I wish I had more time for...
my friends.

The last time I lost my temper was...
last night (haha)! I'm allowed to be over-tired ;)

My favourite moment of the day is...
checking on my son before going to bed.

My guiltiest pleasure is...
chips n' dip! Always n' forever.

My perfect day would be...
with my husband and son, away from the craziness of everyday life,
so probably a trip to the mountains :)

I can't live without...
my family.

My spouse and I always disagree about...
money. He likes to save it, I like to spend it!

Happy Mother's Day!

I can't help it mom -

Because I am so small

And always leave my fingerprints

On furniture and walls.

But every day I'm growing -

I'll be grown some day

And all those tiny handprints

Will surely fade away.

So here's a little handprint

Just so you can recall

Exactly how my fingers looked

When I was very small.

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!

Love , Your baby boy!
