Countdown To Kisses (Free Printable)

It’s kind of a cloudy, drizzly day today.  The kind where you want to stay home curled up in a blanket.  I’ve heard we are supposed to get some snow but I haven’t seen anything yet.  I hope it’s not much because we still have quite a bit since the last huge dumping weeks ago.  Last weekend Brittany and I made the best of the snow and took the kids tubing.  We had a lot of fun even though there were some bumps and scratches.  Connor is quite the clown with a great sense of humor.  He get’s it from his mom.  Here’s the conversation that actually took place at the start of a race.  Connor is 4.

Puffy Hearts

How is it possible that January is almost over?  I had always heard that the older you get the faster time goes.  I’m beginning to think that’s true.

WOWZERS!

Anyway…..Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.  I love this day.  I hope you have as many wonderful people in your life as I do.  They are the “loves” of my life.  I want to celebrate each one of them and show them how much I love them.  In the next few weeks I will share with you some of the things I will be doing.

I don’t know why but I’ve never had too many Valentine’s Day decorations.  I suspect it’s because I have so many Christmas decorations and the last thing I want to do is decorate again.  Do any of you feel the same way?  So, this year I thought I would make something to put on my mantle; a little something to bring the spirit of love in my home.

Family Pictures

We recently had some family pictures done and I just wanted to share (cuz I’m just sooo proud)!

First of all I want to thank our cute photographer Nikki, owner of Flying W Fotos.  We have used her in the past and are thrilled with her work.  I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a creative, easy to work with, and efficient photographer.

Here we are all together.

Hazel & Ruby

For several years in my career I was so fortunate to work in the craft and scrapbooking industry.  I’ve been a Buyer for Robert’s Craft Stores and Memories Scrapbook Stores.  I’ve also worked on the manufacturing side of a few scrapbook companies in various positions from design to customer service.  As a Buyer I would review and analyze 100’s of products every day to come up with what I thought were the best products to sell in our stores.  I am constantly keeping my eye on what the trends are and any new products that come out in the market.  It’s fun for me because I also like to craft and DIY in my spare time.  So, when I see new products coming out that I like or hear of a new company that is producing amazing product I want to shout it to the world and especially to our sweet blog followers and friends.
