If you are friends with me on Facebook you likely already know about this, but today my baby made her first decision about her hair, she asked to get it cut short some time ago and well this mom in love with braids and pigtails said in no uncertain terms NO. I thought about it though, I let her decide what she does with it every day and every day she requests to wear it down, I had to beg to get her to wear it up. So I started thinking, it is just hair it can grow back. So this morning she and I talked about it and decision was made to cut it. I may cut Aaron&#8217;s hair and Little Man&#8217;s hair but do not touch mine or Little Princess&#8217;s save the occasional bang trim, which I am going to leave up to the professionals as well from ...]]></description>

										Seven and a half weeks ago I thought today would never come, three weeks ago I started to wonder how they were going to get the cast off safely (I was worried about my daughter here people…she did not need another injury on top of the one she already has) and last night I was so excited for today I could not sleep.
I am not sure what I expected but the first stop for the day was cast removal for Little Princess. I started to plan for today the minute the Dr. said I could schedule the appointment. We bought Tangled ~ the combo pack ~ so we would have a digital copy for the iPad (if you know anyone with a 3D TV and bluray player let me know we have Tangled in 3D now); I started trying to think about things she would like to do without the ...]]></description>

										As a parent that is not how I really want to parent, I would like to set the right example and have my children learn from that example. I want to show them how to be the bigger person, how to turn the other cheek, forgive those who have wronged you, act politely in public…you know not only the big things but the little ones. But I am not perfect, far from it, and sometimes it feels like I am teaching by saying “do as I say and not as I do.” 
This morning I realized that was the case as we asked Little Princess for the 20th time in 2 minutes to use her inside voice. See I have a very loud voice that carries very easily and I forget that much of the time, I also have a tendency to yell if I am not feeling heard (or ...]]></description>

										Where does the time go? Why does every day end and I look at my to do list and find it not even having a thing crossed off of it?
Today I looked back over the last two years, I remember the day two years ago so well for a million reasons. I remember how there was no sleep the night before and no naps when I needed them. We were headed for our first family pictures, we had only been a family for 5 short months. No one had napped and we were all running on the best shortest fuse possible, but it worked. We got some cute family pictures like this one:
&#160;

And we got devastating news…spent a portion of the following week away from home. I remember thinking at the time if I can make it through this I can make it through ANYTHING. Little Princess was not sleeping ...]]></description>

Everyone who knows us knows that Little Princess is just that a little Princess, complete with fancy dresses for every occasion. (I figure there are MUCH bigger battles to wage than what she wears so yes about 90% of the time she is way overdressed…) But tonight her brother was the winner of wanting to be all dressed up with no where to go!
A few weeks ago I had ordered Little Man and Aaron matching ties from Petite Peanut Boutique (yes I could have made them, no I don’t have the time currently). The ties arrived today and boy were they cute but they came wrapped in tissue paper and naturally not tied. I had no clue how to tie a tie, period and so Little Man thought he and Daddy’s ties were toys until Daddy got home and could tie Daddy’s tie and teach Mommy how to tie Little ...]]></description>

(before the break)
Some days I just want to be a parent…just mama or mommy and not the lady someone in the corner is whispering about or someone else with more guts or less good sense, I am not sure which, is asking questions that are well just not in good taste in front of my children.
Last week, I was asked more than once “So you are the adoptive mother?” The first two times I was tired, hungry and VERY thirsty and had only just arrived at our final destination, I didn’t have it in me to be funny or say something I might later regret and just answered simply “Yes” but after I had some water, a little bit of food and an hour or so of sleep I wondered what the word in front of mother meant and why it was important for her care. I gave them what ...]]></description>

I gave myself a 36th Birthday gift, a little early (almost a week early) I set up the meeting and started the process Aaron and I have been talking about for a few months, we will soon be foster parents with the option to adopt if that becomes available.
Had you asked me when I was a little girl or even last year if I would ever consider being a foster parent I would have told you that it takes a special person to be a foster parent and I would have to look deep before I even considered that option. Today I looked in a social workers eyes and said with all the confidence in the world “Sign us up” and she did, after I went on a search for Aaron’s social security number, someday maybe I will memorize that number!
The paperwork is all vaguely familiar, we had ...]]></description>

										Where to even start with BlogHer…(and sorry about all the pictures I had a great time)
Well to begin with I had the time of my life! I felt like I was at a slumber party with all my best buds and all we did was have fun!
When I arrived on Thursday I went straight to lunch with some of the girls from Grown In My Heart – Judy, Michelle and Marcie! I knew I was going to have fun when I did something totally out of character for me, I ordered a drink with lunch! On the walk back to the hotel I took these pictures:





(Two of the girls on the way back to hotel!)
Then after we all got checked in and caught up we got ready and went to the party where we started to meet up with the others from the site as well as my other girls ...]]></description>
