The Christmas Parade





Wow, did the girls and I just have a blast at the Holiday Parade on Saturday. I was just amazed at how something so simple as a parade could enhance my kids spirits so much. Haven was just so amazed at the floats, and the unicycle rs (they were amazing!),and she just loved the homecoming king and queen (just what she needed to see. a real princess and prince) Lily just boogied down with the blues music and was just dancing in the street. At one point I looked over and Lily was laying under the blankets on the sidewalk like it was a bed - gross! But totally adorable. I asked if they wanted to go and see Santa, but neither of them cared to see "ho ho" as Lily calls him. We took a stroll around downtown, grabbed some hot chocolate and a cookie and just enjoyed the "winter" festivities... even though we technically still have 3 weeks of fall left. I feel cheated! I just love fall and not sure why we need to share it with winter!



Our weekend otherwise was pretty low key I guess, except for my night out at PY STIX - pretty fun bar. My BFF got engaged on her birthday!! and we celebrated. Yesterday was just a day to chillax at home. I made my Hanukkah bows for the boutique and we started to watch 24 - but I was too tired... maybe we will catch that tonight.

starting out...



So I am just getting started with blogging and have no idea really what to do yet. But I need a place to vent, think, write, and just be me. So to start off - I am a stay at home mom to 2 beautiful little girls. I have been married to a great man that I fell in love with in college for almost 6 years! Have traveled some and would love to see more. I am currently trying to lose weight and have reached a plataue so I am trying to add MORE cardio and really watch my calorie intake. So far so good. I am so close to my family, they are always their for me whatever life throws at you! I thank god every day for life and what he has given to me.






Ok, I am off to explore this.. maybe add some photos? :)
