wiww...NYC edition

we had just gotten off the plane and couldn't wait to hit the city! jeans and t-shirt are my staple and flying day was not exception! v-neck tees from the gap and jeans from Maurices. sunglasses 5 dollar special at Marshalls!

layers were key in NYC! the days started cool and got hot in the afternoon! here i am sporting my fleurty girl Saints shirt last thursday for game day!

this was on our way to a broadway show!

windblown, wet, and cold on the ferry to see the Statue of Libery.

central park! my hubby did such a good job cropping out the hot pink tennis shoes that were essential for all our walking!!!

yep, that's the bakery from Sex in the City and yep, their cupcakes are to die for!!!

jump over to the Pleated Poppy for her linky party!!

we're back.....

I just got back from an amazing anniversary trip to NYC with my fabulous hubby of 9 years!!! It was awesome and I have so many pictures and stories to share.  But first, I must unpack, regroup, unwind, take a deep breath and then I will post more! Here is a teaser from the Statue of Liberty! Isn't she amazing?? :)

my baby goes to school...

My baby started Pre-K today, sniff, sniff.

He wasn't quite sure about going but had a fabulous day!

Here he is walking into school, still a little unsure...

He had just asked me, "But mom? what days do I get to stay home with you?"

That broke my heart.  His program is 5 days a week (half day on monday) and he is so used to being home with me.  I missed him today but I know he will have so much fun meeting new friends!

where do you blog!?

this is it, this is where i sit to blog...if only it looked like this all the time! this is the 'i have to clear it off so i can take a good picture view!' the desk is usually covered in mail that i have to go through, bills to pay, etc.  i have a view of a really nice couch that i don't see because it's covered in clean, folded laundry to put away. and it doesn't bother me a bit while i sit and blog and ignore the messy view.  thanks for stopping by and happy blogging!

settling in...

We are coming to the end of our second week of 1st grade for this guy.  He LOVES it! His teacher is wonderful and he is getting settled into a routine.  (mommy is getting used to getting up, dressed, out the door for car line in a timely manner! :)  God has blessed us with an amazing child who strives at doing his best.  I'm looking forward to all his discovery and wonder he will experience this year as a big first grader.

His little brother on the other hand is not so keen on starting preschool.  He will start pre-k next week and is still protesting.  I know it will be good for him but he is such a mama's boy.  He's happy just to hang out with me all day.  We have had some good time together while big brother is at school and he gets one on one time.  Wish us luck as he adjusts to 5 days a week at school!

t-shirts...

well, i've been busy getting everything in order for our next big thing! if you don't know me and our family, you may not know that my hubby is a CRNA and has written a book about anesthesia.  It is geared toward anesthesia students who may be overwhelmed in the OR and are transitioning into the workplace after school.  my hubby is a fantastic writer and i'm so proud of him.  his book has been out for over a year and is doing well after being self published with no formal advertising! it's all word of mouth and the students who have it in their possession all agree that it is priceless information!  all that being said, we are launching t-shirts based loosely off his book.  a few little quotes, maybe will lead into a full blown t-shirt business. who knows.  we are just taking it one step at a time.  so if you have a minute, jump over to our new site and tell someone about it! they mostly pertain to anesthesia but i love the one that says 'chaos is optional'  that is so true in any area of life! happy monday and hope you have a great week.  i'm just going to sit back and hold my breath in hopes that word will spread about our oh so comfy tees and new business venture! :) check it out!

my joy, my life, my blessings

I don't know why God decided to bless me with these 2 miracles, but I thank him countless times everyday!
