Building Memories

Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker

After a recent job promotion my family had to up and move to Texas. We got a great deal on our energy bill, See More. My family is adjusting well to the cross country move. At first my kids were not too keen on the idea of moving away from all of their friends. But as time has gone on, they have adjusted well. My wife is also adjusting. She had a very close group of women that she was very sad to leave. They would get together every week, drink wine and discuss the current events in their life. I always looked forward to ladies night because that meant that I got to have kids night. I would always do something special with the kids, such as take them bowling or skating. Our most favorite thing to do however, was go fishing. I grew up going fishing with my father and that was some of the best memories that I have. I am glad that I have the means and time to build these special memories with my children.

Beauty Stuff

Got my nose pieced a week and a half ago - and I love it! However, I think my face is done - tongue ring, lip ring, eyebrow bar, nose ring AND tattoo...

Now I'm looking for dead sea salts to use for cleansing my face.

The Heck With the Yard

CJ and I discussed starting and herb garden. Then it went to a vegetable garden. Then to which plants for home gardens would be best. I just don't know. I am tired of thinking about it. I don't have a green thumb anyway! BLAH

My Baby Girl

This is my Olivia, 3rd grade, growing up so fast.

Now that she got her ears pierced, she is already looking for new earrings to wear when her ears are healed. I told her I would keep an eye out for daily jewelry deals I sometimes see online. I love doing all the mommy-daughter stuff.

Happy Birthday Olivia

My Bug turned 9 today. I cannot believe she is 9! I know, every parent says that but sheesh! It feels like just yesterday I was getting personalized baby gifts at my baby shower and now today, she is 9! NINE!

Here she is, the day after getting her ears pierced :)
