Still Here...

Rug doctor did not get the best of me! :)

So, I am working with a fab company to design a new blog. I am hoping to take some of my old posts from older blogs I had to mash everything together.

I should be revealing the new blog and URL within 2-3 weeks!!

Stay tuned... I am soooo very excited about it!!

Big day for us tomorrow...

Looks exciting, huh?

Edited to Add: Woke up to the dining room & hall way already done. Marcos must have stayed up real late...I was gonna help but Nic and I went to bed! I must have fallen asleep when I was putting Nic to bed.

Love my man!

To be honest, I have never been to an Oktoberfest in the United States before.

Only to ones in Germany (aka the real thing!).

We are making a day of it - there are a ton! of family things to do!

Also in October, on Halloween to be exact, my baby will turn 14!

I can hardly believe it. 14 - wow!

We have some fun things planned for his birthday - can't wait to share them with you here!

A little diddy for ya!

This post by one of my favorite bloggers, Sarah, got me thinking this summer. I had never once considered taking my daughter to go see a play. Why not? Not sure. I thought, when I read Sarah's blog: What a great bonding experience!

So, I scoured the net for local shows... and FINALLY tickets for Mary Poppins went on sale starting Sept. 13. I snagged us 3 tickets... Isabel and I decided we also wanted my mom to go. Unfortunately, we have to wait until February - but I am sure, once it gets here, we are going to have a blast!!

When I am alone...

...I have one thing I love to do... burn candles.

I have a hard time burning them at other times because of a 2 1/2 year old (who shall rename nameless). He LOVES to spit on blow out candles. I am just so afraid that he will try to touch one, or knock one over. I won't take chances...

So I only burn them when he is out of the house.

Take today, for example.

I dropped him off at daycare... I am back home, working. I decided to light not one, not two, but 4 candles.

There are two apple cinnamon in the kitchen, a clean cotton one in the bathroom,

and divine country flowers one in the living room.

My house smells heavenly.

Until the kids come home, that is!
