First Day of School Ever!

Last week, after two weeks of illness, Connor was finally able to start preschool! I had planned on taking the morning off of work to take him, but the twins had a fever virus (shocking - they were sick again!), so I had the day off work. Grammy came over to watch the twins for me to take Connor. He did so well. He didn't even care when I left. And I didn't even cry! ;)

When he got home (Grammy picked him up and they ran errands for awhile), it was almost dinner time. I asked him how his day was. He told me they listened to music and ate oreos. The music thing I believe. I am not so sure about the oreos! But he seemed to really like it and that is the most important thing.

Here is a picture of him as we were getting ready to go:

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?
