What a week it’s been and it’s only Wednesday! I had James home sick on Monday and then Jordan yesterday.  Thankfully, it’s nothing serious, just coughs and sniffles, but enough to mama exhausted already.

Thankfully, both James and I were able to get a much needed haircut and now mine is just touching my shoulders. I love it!  In a couple weeks, I’ll get the color touched up (it’s been 4 months), and then I’ll really start to feel like a new woman!  Isn’t it funny how fresh hair can do that for ya?!

I’m so glad y’all are excited about my 25 Days of Giveaways! 

Hi friends!  How’s your week going?  I’m happy to report that I’ve been particularly productive and in full GSD mode!  I hustle hard during the hours my kids are in school so that I can be with them and play in the evening.

Our weather has been glorious lately, so we’ve been heading outside or going to the park.  I love the fresh air and am actually looking forward to the time change soon.  Time to get extra COZY!

Speaking of the future, I’m thrilled to hear you are just as excited about the new Holiday Collection as I am! 

Good morning friends! Is your week flying by or dragging on?  Mine is flying with too much to do and too little time!

BUT, the good news is that our cool front arrived and yesterday was so enjoyable out!  We went to the park after school for some outside time, and then I celebrated one of my oldest girlfriend’s birthdays with an evening dinner on the patio at Giacomo’s.  We’ll take every minute of this glorious weather!

Today, it’s a short and sweet Just the Best Sales post.  Every Wednesday, I scour the internet to bring you great deals on things you might love,

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  It’s already been a busy week over here with baseball practice/scrimmage, a PTO meeting, orthodontist appointments and it’s only mid week!  No wonder I’ve been crashing out early every night!  Perfect timing for today’s quickie post! 😉

Hi friends!  How’s your week going?  I made it to my 6-month dental checkup yesterday and got a physical recently, so I’m feeling pretty good about taking care of myself.  We spend so much time taking care of others that we can tend to forget about ourselves!

Thankfully, my physical had good results, but if it hadn’t, it would be good to know so I could make changes now!  I never want to take my health for granted.

Speaking of health, I’ve been mentioning it on Stories, but haven’t had a chance to share here yet- we’ll be launching our Get Fit Done Meal Plan on Monday,

Mid week and I’m feeling it!  Yesterday I picked up James and Jordan from school early to make it to his dental appointment.  While we were waiting in the waiting room, Jordan fell and hit her chin on the little table.

I watched it happen almost in slow motion and knew immediately it was gonna hurt, but I didn’t realize that it split her chin open until I saw the blood.  Those cuts bleed so bad, but thankfully she was able to avoid stitches.  Poor thing! You always hate to see your kids hurt.

I knew she was okay though when she kept wanting to play with all the toys in the waiting room. 

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  We are soaking up the very last days of summer break over here.  We spent the morning at the pool, Jordan took a giant nap, and James and his friend spent the afternoon making a music video.  The giggles and rapping/singing coming from his room had me cracking up!  They were so proud of their finished product! I really can’t believe school starts in just one week!

Today is a new Just the Best Sales post!  Every week I scour the Internet to find the best deals on the cutest styles and here’s what I found this week!

Part of getting my life together lately meant getting my hair color touched up yesterday.  Isn’t that the best?!  Just in time for a short trip to Chicago with my friend Trisa tomorrow. 

Good morning friends!  I’m coming to you today from NYC!  I always love getting to step into this other world when the opportunity arises and this time, it’s even more fun because Shannon is with me. 🙂
