52 Weeks of Happiness: Week 1

I've been behind in blogging lately. In fact, I still have one last Disney post to share. But that will have to wait. I was going through some old pictures recently, and this one stuck out in my mind.  Partly it's because 4 years ago this month, I was shocked at an ultrasound appointment. I was pregnant with my second child. We were headed in for the 20 week ultrasound to see if it was a boy or a girl.

There are the two heads.

I've said this before. The tech thought we knew it was TWINS.

We did NOT.


Life changes when you have a baby. Life does back-flips, somersaults, and trampoline jumps when you have two babies. (Especially when you have an almost 2 year old at the same time.) We've made it through the sleepless nights (no wait, they still get up in the night), the trying twos, the TERRIBLE threes. My babies turn four this summer. I can't even fathom it.

But these babies preschoolers are my happiness, my heart.

I have a girlfriend who had twins. They ran her ragged in the early years, but it's been a wonderful experience.

I can't even imagine that surprise at a 20 week ultrasound! I'm pregnant with my second child right now and my husband was really bummed to only see one baby at the ultrasound. I'm sure it's rough, but so much fun at the same time!

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
