I just feel giddy with excitement about all of the fun things happening at Polka Dot Potato right now! There was so much energy and activity today, it just makes me happy. First, the Potato Bar is open! I LOVE the Potato Bar! And somehow the PDP designers manage to outdo themselves every time we […]

My wild weekend is coming to a close. Friday was a serious “me” day. I was totally feeling guilty about it…especially the part about dumping my four year old off at a friends house even though she had great big alligator tears in her eyes and was crying “Mommy don’t leave me!”… But Mama really, […]

Here it is…a mega post to catch up the last month of my life. My relaxing holiday season was anything but. With several store visits, 3 parties at my house, print jobs galore and my own handmade gifts to do for the family, things were kind of crazy! But it was really one of the […]

I just love this time of year…from Thanksgiving to Christmas…it’s such an amazing time! And when I think about where I was last year, with so much hanging in the balance and feeling so without direction, this year is just so much sweeter! God is really amazing. This year is shaping up to be one […]

Well, there’s been lots of crazy activity in my house. Big, huge, changes… exciting opportunities and some serious “must be God because they’re simply too unbelievable” things going on. Ben is an incredible husband, a totally fun dad and has been super flexible for years as we’ve done one venture or another…mostly in the scrapbook […]

I’m finally updating my blog with Sept/Oct craziness! It’s been such a wild, non-stop month that blogging had to take a back seat. But I’m going to do my best to get back into a blogging routine so that this fun thing doesn’t become a chore. Here’s what we’ve been up to in no particular […]

I met Greta in Vegas! Okay…call me a stalker…I don’t care. I totally get a kick out of this kind of stuff. I went to Vegas for Memory Trends and dragged my dad along for company. I taught a class on Sunday to store owners about making their stores “digital destinations” and then pretty much […]

This week has been glorious so far! The girls started Mother’s Day Out on Tuesday. This is Ella’s third year but Gracie’s first. She seemed a little confused when we dropped her off but she did well. Here are some pics from the first day. Having these few hours twice a week has given me […]

 11 years ago today, I was a 24 year old girl in a hospital bed. Now I’m the mom of the most precious 11 year old boy in the world. My sweet Nolen. Last night Ben bought some Mrs. Baird’s Grab ‘n Go Donuts for Nolen’s breakfast this morning. We thought that would be a […]

And Topical Storm Erin is heading straight for us….wouldn’t you know it! I woke up with the news that we can pretty much forget about sunshine until Sunday. That put a little damper on our plans but we’ll get over it. Today was basically all about getting groceries, hanging out and getting some much needed […]
