Hello, Monday!

Happy Monday! I love the smell of a fresh new week in the morning!

But, alas, not all members of my family are fellow Monday-huggers. No. It's true.

For instance, Audrey. First whine of the week, "whatever we are having for breakfast, I do NOT want it." Seriously? How do you respond to that? As a mother, it is my utmost duty to ignore any and all whining. My motherly ears are unable to process that particular frequency.

Then, there is the fabulous Maria, notorious morning hater. She had the pleasure of a new wardrobe. Wouldn't that make most people happy? Well, not this five year old. She has apparently bonded with her size 3 pants in ways I did not even know was possible. She has finally grown! and I am glad. When she put on her new pants this morning, she grumbled, ""Mama these pants don't fit. there is no gap at my ankles. They like to be breezy. They need to breathe, you know." No, I don't know.

As I hugged them as they ran out the door, Audrey accused me of trying to knock her over. oy!

Do you see why I love Mondays? Because now I have the home all to myself. And the weekly blessing of the mess begins. My first plan of attack, Mt. Rushmore.

Wishing you a blessed Monday!

Thanks For Giving

a little bit of yourself to me. 

I hope your Thanksgiving was good.  We had awesome biscuits and dressing.  Yum!  enjoyed hanging with the coolest family ever.  And getting puppy kisses and cuddles all day long.  Heaven!

Davey experienced his first ever Black Friday sales.   At 4am I thought it was his last.  But he loosened up, and actually had fun.  We were team Alexander.   In. Out. Home.  Nap.  Good times.

Getting cranking on crafting at Jump Create and unKit.  Monday night's unKit Live is on making ornaments.  Fun!

I am considering an opportunity that has recently been offered to me.  It would start the first of January. 

Prayers appreciated for my family right now.  Thanks.

I struggle with technology.  So when I figure something out, I am full of pride. 

I found out how to record a video that shows your computer screen.  So I made a super quick and easy video for unKit that shows how easy it is to order.

I won't mention how long it took me to figure it out.  The important part is that I did.

Holiday unKit <== here is the video, if you wanted to take a peek.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend. 

Today is the Thanksgiving day feast with a bunch of Kindergarteners. Pilgrims, Indians, and parents will gather for goldfish, juice boxes, and turkey. This is the stuff that mommyhood is made of.

And I just love this stuff. My last kindergartener to participate. sigh. They are growing up too fast.

Hello World!

I feel like I am finally back to the land of the living.

Accounting deadlines are quiet for a while.  No big business consulting clients for now.

All the kids are well and back in school, finally.

Websites for Jump Create and unKit are finished, finally.  Well, mostly.

Hopefully, other than housework and shopping for the holidays, things are on maintainence only.  Hopefully.

Maria was our last sick chick to fly the coop.  She was so excited to be back to school that she ran around in circles in the front yard before climbing into the backseat of the station wagon.  Her big fear about returning was that the kids would have missed her so much that she is going to get bum rushed when she walks into the classroom.  She wore shorts under her dress just in case.  Although Audrey and I are not sure what "just in Case" means.  Silly little bunny rabbit.

Katie and Audrey are working hard on her part of the Nutcracker with the Russian Ballet.   So proud of them.

So what is going on with you?

I am seriously thinking of teaching a class or two.  I really miss teaching.  I mostly miss my friends and students.  Send me an email so that we can catch up. 

Blessings to you and your family.
