Jewel Kade, and much more.

Couture Coffee Bags

My sister-in-law has an article published in the Nashville paper with one of the pictures I took.  This article picture was taken with a phone and texted to me - sorry it's blah.  I'm so excited for her - she makes the cutest bags!  You must get one!  Isn't the model gorgeous too?!?!  She's just as beautiful on the inside I swear!

BIG day!

My day started out with my nephew's baptism....




and ended with our friends bringing their son home from Ethiopia. 

It was a GREAT day!!!!

Get through the week

For those of you waiting on pics, or a response to an email - I promise I haven't forgotten about you!  4 kids -  2 in elementary, 1 in middle and 1 in high school, just 3 more days until they go back to school.  I am spending this week cramming in back to school shopping, organizing, etc.  
Once next week starts I will be a much better business woman!  

#donewithsummer

Started p90x today.  Not the best idea to start when the kids are still on summer break.  My workout involved about 2 feet of space shared with my 5 and 9 year old and 2 hand weights.  And the dog.   Everyone wants to start exercising the day I want to.   I should probably be thankful that I can have fun exercising with my children.  But, I'm not.  Don't judge.  #hurryupmonday

Starting p90x tomorrow. this inspires me.

If only we lived in a place that wasn't a bazillion degrees....

SUPER CUTE!!!



I am so in love with these necklaces from Jewel Kade.  I've partnered up with Laura Weenig who is a rep for the company.  The pictures come out sharp with great detail.  I've seen necklaces like this before that looked cheap or the picture looked awful.  Not Jewel Kade.  These are thick and gorgeous.  A GREAT Christmas gift for mom, grandma, sister, etc.  Contact me for pricing.

Vacation?? whatever.

I just took 3 of my kids to the beach for 3 days.  I always love getting out of town.  Love road trips.  Love the beach.   But, when you have kids with you - it is anything but vacation.  It is work.  I spend my time pretty much constantly distracting kids from fighting, or playing taxi or throwing in the pool... cooking, cleaning, 
wiping butts,  on and on.  
Call me horrible, but I sure would love to bring along a responsible, amazingly fun, energetic teenager to entertain and keep up with my kids.  At least so I could use the bathroom in peace.  
That's not too much to ask is it?! 
Vacation? puhleeez!
