Mellow Yellow

I love this picture it was taken while apple picking with the family.

The boots looks warn, they also remind me of a pair I use to see sitting in my grandma's house out on the porch. I wonder roads they've traveled.

My Little Man

Prince has been sick for the last week fortunatley today he's feeling so much better. He spent this week with high fevers and tons of moaning from his pain.


With him being sick and me worrying about this whole Swine Flu epedemic excitement sure set in this morning when he woke up and asked, "Mommy can you bulid my Lego house with me". A smile came across his face as he snuggled up into me. Of course all I could think was YES YES YES my baby is feeling better and away I went to build that Lego house.

After having the flu with a topping of strep throat this little man deserves a Banna Boat so Friendly's here we come!!!!!


His fever is nearly gone and we have a happy little man.

This little guy belongs to my neighbor. For some odd reason he makes me laugh every time I pass by her house. I really enjoy the Fall.

Stay At Home Mommy vs Working Moms

I am watching yesterdays Dr. Phil and I cannot believe what a debate this topic is. How women go against each is appalling to me. I believe working moms and stay at home mommy's have a tough job all around no one is better than the other.



Right now I am a stay at home mommy and it works for me. I enjoy being home and being present when my children come home from school. I don't think I am wrong for wanting to stay at home. It's a choice my husband and I made together and for my family it fits us.


I have been on both sides of the spectrum and I have to say I feel fulfilled being home. My identity has not been lost. Yes, at times I would like to be with the other adults but that's where my friends come in.


Mother's who work deserve the same respect as us mommy's who are home with our children why should they be faulted for wanting to work. Or be looked down on because they are choosing a career which in turn let me remind you that monetary does help a family. What about those mothers who have to work because they are the only sole providers to their families. Don't you think they may want to stay home and join in on the day to day doings of their children?


Please let's just stop and join in as a team, acknowledge each other for the hard work we put in. For the time and effort we give our kid we should be patting each other on the back.


We are all mothers and all do an important job!!!

This picture is beauty and peace. Very simple it also reminds me of an old friend that I have reconnected with once again. This friend meant a great deal to me when we were young and I will never let her go. She's angel and she's not even aware of it. I can't wait to see her and her little/big boy.

That's Prince holding the RUBY apple he picked yesterday. Can you tell how happy this little guy was doesn't take much to make him smile.

4. I promise you will eat tons of candy this Halloween.


5. Outstanding or not you have to love me heheheheeee.

6. Another brand new pair of shoes is what I want right now!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to my friends party, tomorrow my plans include 1childs birthday party in the am & my friends party in the evening and Sunday, I want to go apple picking with my children, husband, girlfriend and her children and I will!

Girl Scouts

Big Bang that's what it was, we started our meeting for this year yesterday and it went off with a hitch. I love the Girl Scouting world and I am a devoted happy mommy Leader. We teamed our Junior girls up with a younger Brownie sister troop and it was great mix. The girls are going to work on their Bronze Award this year. Soooo huge shout out to my JUNIORS love you girls.

Ladies and gentlemen please please support our girls when you see them selling those peanuts and the ever so delicious cookies.

The Grand O'l Firehouse

There is Prince with food and a his little smile. Right next to him is Handsome and Godess.

October in my town is also known for Fire Prevention week. The local fire department visits our two schools plus two of our pre-schools they do a whole presentation/movie it's then finalized with a night visit over to our Fire Department. The kids love it, they get to go into the actual fire trucks, boats, have some good old fashion hotdogs. They top the night showing us families how they would break into a car to save you and last but not least show real life presentation on how quickly fire can ignite an article of fabric.


I must admit that every year we go and it's a fabulous night. My kids enjoy it as well as the other lovely families in my town. This year I was a little concerned. While trying to light the Curtain above the stove the curtain had fallen to the ground and one of the fire volunteer’s decided to pick up the curtain with his hands. Isn't this what we teach our wee ones not to do? Hellooooo someone throw a bone and get this man’s attention!!!!


Sorry that may have sounded rude but while this was taking place I had to make sure I was telling 5 year old Prince and 9 year old Princess the proper do's and don'ts. So needless to say I will be making a little visit to our department with some baked goods and a whole lot of words.


I truly do love my town and our Firehouse with its volunteers who put their lives in jeopardy for ours. I just want them know the mistake that was made and how kids can truly think for a quick moment it is ok for me to do the same thing.


Other than that we had an awesome time.

Here we have Spider Monkey and I this was taken on our college road trip to Buffalo. I was just so happy to hear that She was not going six hours away that I had to plant her one. My baby is not leving so far wooowhoo.

Silent Killer

Adults hurt just as children hurt. There's something I would like to mention and that would be Bulimia. Does this frighten you because it does to me? A friend of mine seems to be wondering if this is her situation or if she's just going through a yucky period.


People with bulimia are often ashamed of their eating problems and attempt to conceal their symptoms. Binge/purge behavior is often quite secretive and that's my friends problem. Until today she opened up and there is a feeling of relief. While she was thinking she was alone there were others like her. She is not yet prepared to allow her family to into her world. Into her secret for the feel of disappointment but we will work it through. We have found an outlet and soon life will be normal again.


She is the one who always has an answer and noticed by her family as the strong branch. We are going to nurture this limb and make it strong again. For she once stood tall and will once again. Remember this silent killer lurks on the older as well
