Note To Self

When you've been curled up on the couch for a couple of hours make sure that all the feeling is back in your legs before you try to walk across the room.

In case you don't think this is something worth noting, let me remind you of the last time you got up from sitting in one position too long:

You stood up, walked 2 steps across the hardwood floor, rolled your ankle, heard a pop & a crackle, and then collapsed onto the floor. You truly thought you'd broke your foot. Once you realized you could wiggle your toes, you hobbled upstairs with the most painfully bruised ankle bone. Ouch.

    Thanks for the comment Carrie. And actually yes, I was just looking at Jillian's new yoga video. I'm so getting it this weekend. I used to do yoga all the time-it was the most toned I've ever been. I can't wait to get back to that.
    Have a great weekend and be careful (o:

  4. I did that about a year ago....stood up, couldn't feel my foot at all, fell flat on my behind, and I guess a little on my hip because that's where the bruising was!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
