Ten Things to Smile About

April has come and gone with some great memories!!  Thank you to another lovely lady for this idea...You can check her out here.

1. Easter – We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family.


2. Me time – I was able to spend an afternoon with two ladies I admire and know I can call at any time for any reason. 


3. Disneyland – Yes we have season passes, but this month I met another mom there and it was just Abby and I. We got to ride all the rides she wanted to. Usually she waits on the side lines while the big kids enjoy, but that day it was all about her. We will be doing this more often. I have found weekdays from 9-1 is my new favorite time.

4. Isabella’s first soccer match with her new team. I am not sure who loves it more, me or her.

5. A beautiful niece’s baptism where all the family comes together.




6. My son - who loves to read and eat carrots


7. My kids... who love to dance and sing.



8. Husband’s new job – In today’s economy it is not typical to leave one good opportunity for an ever better opportunity, but he was blessed with such and I am thankful.

9. Two little girls who love to play and remind me to keep it simple.





10. Moms, Aunts and Grandma's. The woman in my family are amazing, thank you for aspiring me to be more!!

Palm Springs

It's Sunday and very late. I can't sleep. I have so many thoughts running through my head, all good and exciting, but unfortunately keeping me up. I needed to unwind so I took a few moments to download some photos from a few weeks ago when we went to Palm Springs with the family. It was a tough weekend, as we mourned the loss of my uncles amazing mother, but yet also celebrated my parent’s 34th wedding anniversary. Lots of emotions and memories I will remember always.
