Hey there!

I just have this little layout to share today. Seems like it has become even more challenging to get the girls to be looking towards the camera with smiles, etc...Most of them are like this, silly faces, hair all over, not even looking at me. But, hey- they are having a great time! AND, look how silly they are :-)



Have a great day!

Ok, I've been away for awhile. Oops...sometimes, the time just passes on by.

I have just a few photos to share today.

Here are the girls with their 5K medals- they did really well and Vanessa *did* actually run the first mile of the 5K. Robyn was cruising comfy in the stroller


And, Matt and I had a great great time in Chicago. Wonderful concert and we both enjoyed some reading time on the train ride there and back. Here we are at the train station in Chicago, checking out the map. I love this guy so much!


And, then I had the most wonderful mother's day and my girls and my guy definitely made me feel specials. Loved getting out on the bikes and going to the arb for a bit



And, tomorrow, is our 9th wedding anniversary! WOWZERS! How can it be nine years already? I love this guy more than ever, and what a wonderful father he is.



I hope your day is great!

May Day! We are really enjoying that it actually *feels* like spring now!

And check out these cuties dressing up fancy the other day.

The batgirl mask is the perfect touch!

Other news- we are all doing a 5K this weekend (fundraiser for V's school)! One of us might run, the other will walk with the girls...depends on who is feeling up for running early in the am on Sunday.

And, last- I am soooo excited...Monday morning, Matt and I are taking the train for:



Woohoo! Can't wait.

PeacE and Love!

Vanessa's other loose tooth made it's way out last night and she now is the proud owner of an even cuter smile!



Happy Friday!

We have been enjoying springtime around here! Last weekend was packed with fun activities.

Bike rides...


Vanessa seriously loves her tag-a-long bike!

Kite flying



Decorating Easter Eggs


Hunting Easer eggs


And, last but not least, Vanessa lost her first tooth! And that crooked little one next to it is hanging by just a tiny little thread at this point.

Vanessa's first soccer game!

And wow, she loves it! I had no idea my little girl would be so into this game. She got right in there and gave it all.


I hope you have a great day. We woke up to SNOW this morning- ready for that to be all over with :-)

The last day of March...already? It seems like March just started! So happy to see the springtime moving in though. Vanessa starts soccer practice tomorrow and this morning she discovered her first ever wobbly tooth! I can hardly believe it! Robyn seems to be growing 2x as fast everyday and is really into counting any and everything right now.

Just wanted to share a couple of recent spring photos today.

We had a wonderful tea party in the front yard


And the girls had a blast playing "teeter totter" on their hoppity balls together- totally cute and fun


I hope your day is great!

Happy Friday! And Welcome to Spring! (although it is rather chilly out there today around here)

I found some old photos I had printed out a long time ago in my dash to get a LOT of projects done for the upcoming Brenda Pinnick hour on QVC. Tune in at 5pm EST on Tuesday, March 24th~ some really fun new products will be premiered!

So, it is really hard for me to believe these photos are from 2 years ago! The day my little girl first discovered rain puddles.



Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring is coming! Hooray Hurrah! We are beyond ready for it too. What a beautiful weekend and today the spring sunshine continues! YAY!

The girls had a great time being able to get outside and play. Just a couple of photos of both girls from the weekend.

Robyn is really looking grown up lately...


except she still has that pudgy belly :-)


Vanessa on the go!





Have a great Monday!

I have been seeing this little pouty face quite frequently lately from Robyn...seems she is grown up enough to feel she is being slighted by her older sister. Lots of hugs and kisses and snuggles seem to cheer her up well though!



take care!

We spent the weekend with a lot of rain, but it was soooo nice to get the warmer weather! Vanessa named this puddle in our front yard her friend "Puddly" and did this cute little dance in it. Lovin' that spring is coming!!!



Have a great day!

Feeling a little old school and super simple today with this one.



Have a great weekend!

I took a quick few minutes to use that cute, smiley photo of the girls and here is the finished layout!



Have a great day

Hey there! Welcome to March YAY!

I have a couple of photos of my cuties to share today.

1. it's still cold, but we have been happy to see the sunshine a little bit!


2. I'm so proud of Vanessa reading books to her little sister! Just melts my heart!


I hope that your day is wonderful!

Just thought I share some of these super fun cards with you all!!










Have a great day.

In honor of all the snow we are supposed to receive tomorrow (again! ick)...I am really savoring these beach photos from the trip to California. I hope you all have a great weekend! we will probably be hitting that sledding hill again!

YAY! I bought my tickets today for the Dead in Chicago this May!! Wanted to take the girls, but decided me and the hubby will go out for a date!! YAY!

Hey there! I had a chance to do a quick layout today with a few of those beach photos so I thought I would throw it up here, in case anybody still stops by :) I have been super busy lately and neglecting the blog...I'm going to try to get back to being more regular about posting.

So, for today...."Beach"

We are back!

Thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth at CHA! It was a pleasure meeting many of you and seeing some of my "old" friends too. We are back in the office today working on catching up and still trying to adjust back to eastern time!

After CHA was over, Matt and I were able to spend a couple of days in California with the girls! YAY! Here are just a few photos to highlight our adventure.

First- the booth! My mom, me, and Lora at the start of the show!



Now for the fun photos...
We spent an entire day at Disneyland with the girls and they stayed on their feet for 10 hours- from open to close! I was amazed they lasted that long! Hard to pick just 3 photos to highlight the day, but here they are!

Marching up to the infamous castle!


They were both thrilled to meet a bunch of the characters, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale, etc...Here they are with Jasmine


And they both loved the Dumbo ride, of course!



The next day we took it easy and headed to Newport Beach. We were so lucky that it was in the 80s that day! Water was cold, but we all still got wet. The girls loved loved loved the ocean!





Yep, they definitely loved the ocean!




Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day

Packing up!

We just about have everything packed and are heading out for CHA. We are really excited about exhibiting for the first time and hope to maybe see you there!

I wanted to stop in and leave just a couple of more layouts. Also I have a peek at a really fabulous new card kit.






And, I am really in love with the color combos in this card kit by Justine.


Have a wonderful week!
