Here are the Valentine cards Nolen and I made together. Today is going to be fun! Ben and I are the room parent’s for Nolen’s 3rd grade class so that means we’re in charge of the class party. We’ve got a great game planned. We’re taping a blank piece of paper of each child’s back. […]

I’m totally suffering from a “case of the Mondays” today. Do I really have to get up out of bed?? Unfortunately, the answer is yes…and after my 4th cup of coffee I’m sure it will be easier to get going. One down, three to go. I had such a pleasant weekend at home. Nolen and […]

Tonight was our first ever “Girls’ night out”…Curious George and a trip to 1/2 Price Books. We had a fantastic time! Ella was hilarious. She laughed out loud at the funny parts and insisted that I take her socks and shoes off half way through the movie. She ate the entire time – popcorn and […]

Well, the show was great! A ton of incredibly smart retailers picked up our new Route 99 line. So many people also took notice of all the other things we’d been up to for the last year. The company has been through so many changes and our booth took a lot of people by surprise. […]

The first day went great! Products were well received and I think we’re going to have a great show! We went straight to the bar after the show…it was definitely Miller {light} Time. Me, Kate & Stephanie went to the Grand Lux for dinner. I was so bummed – the Las Vegas Grand Lux doesn’t […]

I love music but I never let myself slow down enough to enjoy it. But I decided that since I was on a Saturday flight and had a long week of hard work ahead of me, I would treat myself to a laptop-free plane ride. Good thing since Kate & I were practically snuggling in […]

At last, my Stella arrived! Isn’t she pretty? I really got the hang of driving it today, even though it was rainy and cold. My first time on the scooter the I had a…how shall I put it…an “altercation” with the mailbox – the mailbox won – leaving me and my new bike a bit […]

Well, the biggest trade show of the year is upon us. I don’t think I’ve ever been as calm before a show as I am now. There’s a few odds and ends I need to do, but there are no all-nighters in my near future. At the show, we’re launching a new line of products […]

Did you know that dark chocolate is good for you? Well, my husband tells me it’s good for his blood pressure. Since I want to support him in his desire for good health, we often share a handful of Dove chocolates after dinner. I usually ignore the little messages inside the wrappers, but tonight I […]

What a weekend! I was in motorcycle training course all day Saturday and until 3 pm on Sunday. I’m absolutely exhausted from it. But it was fun and I passed both the tests so I can get my M class license. Saturday night Ben and I were supposed to go to a comedy club in […]
