Marriage Killer...Bet You Never Guessed It...
Just read an article and this is so true and gave me some "aha" moments "The reason marriages end in divorce is because of one thing…unmet expectations.” That’s a marriage killer!" Yeah, who knew and makes complete sense! Not only with marriages but also applies to friendships, jobs and life in general. When we have expectations and they aren't met it leads to frustration and anger and fights and that is why things end the way they do!

Hand Made Uma Descendants Hat: Mommy Win
Oh my how Friday nights change when you're a parent....I couldn't find a hat or wig anywhere so decided to attempt one myself. Must say HUGE mommy win. Of course I spent my kid free Friday night making this and couldn't of done it without the help from my big sis. I took my daughter to Michael's craft store this week and she picked out this perfect yarn for $5. I found a pirate's hat at Party city for $8. My sister and I spent almost 3 hours on this project- I bribed her with dinner. But really we rocked this and can't wait for my little one to try it on with the rest of her costume. We attached the braids to safety pins and attached it to the hat. Last time I made her costume she was one years old so was fun to hang out and put my love for crafts to good use.
Isn't Your Plate Already too Full? Nope!
I switched schools this year for my daughter, some of it was due to personal reasons some were not regardless it was the best decision! She's happy, the atmosphere is more fitting for her, her values are peered up to kids with similar values, it's one of the best choices made this year! At her old school I was on the Governance Program, which is an awesome committee with parents, teachers, the principal and board of ed officials. You discuss issues about the school and how to handle issues, situations, you even have a say in certain situations in participating in hiring new teachers on etc...all depends on what's taking place at the school. I served the board one year and loved it. Why? Because it gave you an "inside" of what's happening in the school, board of ed, issues that affect your child and all the children. Spots were open at the new school and three positions had to be filled. One spot remainded and I finally nominated myself after a push from a mommy friend and had friends nominate me. Well out of eight parents on panel three could get voted in and we all got a chance to vote this week.
Guess who got elected a spot? Yep, mom of three, entrepreneur, running an awesome business that I love and raising some super awesome, smart kids- yeah I can brag- why not! Is my plate too full- maybe- but not for doing something you have passion for. We all know by now that if my voice can be heard I will rise at that opportunity to have it heard!

Sunflowers In Bloom: Oh How You Make Me Happy
When To Step Back & Reflect
I took my middle one to Stepping Stones Museum the other morning while her sisters where in school. I like spending one on one time with my girls. I feel
it gives me a chance to reflect and connect with them. So there's a blackboard there and an area for adults and kids to write a message. The top board says "Adults, how do you want your kids to feel?" So I wrote Happy. I asked my daughter. "What makes you happy? Draw it for me" She replied "You make me happy Mommy"
If was really heartfelt and had me take a step back and reflect. Life is crazy. There's some situations adults go through and try to keep things normal for the kids and sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. But our job as a parent is to protect our kids and make them happy and feel loved and secure. That's what parents need to fight for. That's what parents need to make as their lifetime goal.

Pumpkin Fun...Hayride...Crafts...Hello October!
Not sure what got into me today. I had this burst of energy and wanted to embrace Fall, the summer feeling weather, Halloween and pumpkins! For $5.99 I picked up a kit with three small pumpkins and paint kit from Stop & Shop. So the girls each painted a pumpkin. Then I pulled out all the decorations and found Halloween crafts so we made spiders. After dinner I wanted to have some Fall fun so we went to Stew Leonard's in Norwalk and for $1 a person did their hayride.
I love Stews because they really put on a fun little display, hayride, cool pumpkins, a little spooky fun area for pictures. Of course we stopped for ice cream and the girls had their pumpkin ice cream. My sister and her hubby got maple- amazing! Was a great day with my three pumpkins!
