I'm back!

Hello, blogosphere. It seems like ages since we last met. Actually, it has been 2 years and some odd months... so ages isn't exactly an exaggeration. I've missed the readers, I've missed the outlet that blogging is for me, and I've missed connecting with so many amazing people across the globe. As my family has grown, my world has shrunk and become a small hub around me. I want to open myself back up to all of you. Today my kitchen is (mostly) clean, the littlest monkeys are napping, and now looks like a great time to reconnect!

When we left off,my husband and I only had 2 little boys. Like I said before, our family has continued to grow and we have been blessed with 2 more children - the 4th, a girl. We've also come back home to the south, although to a city we had neither explored nor lived in. Life is it's own adventure, I suppose, and my monkeys keep it interesting.

So keep your eyes (and bananas) peeled, because there is so much fun to come!

BlogHer is Underway

I am so green with envy! I know I've been scarce (to say the least) lately, but in all honesty I was just so bummed after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to attend BlogHer that just logging into the blog felt like a chore. I was forcing myself to do it, and I figured it was better to take a much needed rest, than to force feed ill-written posts upon you guys. No one wins in that respect.

Now I was reading all of the posts of excited bloggers who are arriving and participating in BlogHer, as we speak. There is so much energy, so much motivation, and so much fun that I can't help but catch on! Be sure to check out The Ohana Mama, My Sentiment Exact Lee, and No Time For Flashcards for their fabulous Blogher posts and giveaway!

Coming Out of Hiatus!

HEllo my lovelies! It has been quite a while since I have updated with a new post, and the warm summer sun is to blame! I have been soaking up the time spent outdoors with my beautiful boys, and enjoy the last couple of months before my oldest starts preschool. I will be posting less often during these summertime months, but I wanted to tell everyone about an amazing opportunity to win a Britax Advocate Careseat. This is a nearly $400 prize that will keep your baby safe and snug from birth to 65lbs!!! Check out the contest on The Mom Buzz and look at the video demonstrating the fabulousness of Britax and necessity of a proper carseat.

New Moon Monday - The Trailer!!

The MTV Movie Awards were fabulous! From Rob talking about crapping his pants, to Kristen dropping the gold popcorn it was simply fabulous! I holed up with my girlfriend and had cookies and yummy cake on hand as we squealed and drooled and oogled our whole way through the awards show. Andy was hilarious, Eminem was (unintentionally) one of the funniest people of the night, and Rob was... ummm... mouthwatering? It's the only way I can describe it! So, for your viewing pleasure in case you missed it (or if you just want to be able to push play again and again and obsess like me) here is the much awaited first trailer!

Condoleances to the Tyson Family

I read yesterday about the tragic loss of Mike Tyson's 4 year old daughter. (The full story can be read here) It's moments like this when I realize that no matter what character a person portrays, or what we might think we know about them, everyone has difficult circumstances that they have to learn to cope with. My heart goes out to the entire family as they find a way to grieve, and eventually move on to find peace with the situation. With my little boy turning 4 in a matter of days, it's stories like this that remind me how precious every second really is!


Here is the public statement from the Tyson family.

"There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal. "
