Welcome

I am a 31 year old working mom. I have two children ages 6 & 8. I am newly remarried (two years and counting) and enjoy spending time with the hubs! Even though life is busy I try to take a little time to show what is going on in my world. This blog is mainly for daily happenings, finances and such. I have created a whole new blog at Butcher, Baker and Candlestick Maker to chronicle my creative sides. You will find recipes, cooking adventures, crafts and a whole lot of digital scrapbook layouts.

ENJOY!

MNO

I just got back from Mother's Night Out at Logan's with a group of women from my sister's church. I had such a great time. I knew enough people that I was able to join in conversations and not feel like an "outsider" I got to sit next to a great woman who just encourages me, sometimes without even realizing it, to be a better me. I was also able to chat with my sister. Too often our lives seem to be rushing by and we don't get a chance to be sisters because we are so busy being Moms and Wifes.

I am also so grateful for a husband who encouraged me to go out with these ladies and fellowship with them. Although we don't belong to the same church I felt welcomed. But nothing beats coming home, especially when the porch light beckons you to a familiar loving place.

Hey, I'm so glad you had such a great time. Those kind of nights are always so much fun--and so needed. =) I agree with you about the porch light and coming home. Sometimes I think about you and Steve getting together, and I am just filled with happy thankfulness that you are a family now. I love you guys. You know that. (You better, anyway =). Can't wait to see you. (Steve is coming, right?)

Hey Sharon, I soooo wanted to join you ladies at Logans. I just couldn't miss my boys' little league games though. Hopefully I'll make the next one. Glad you had fun. :)
