Elf(s) have arrived!

Our package has arrived!

ALL THE WAY FROM THE NORTH POLE!!!!


I am so excited to try this with the kids.  I think they will have a lot of fun.  I am gathering ideas and will start on Saturday! 

 I decided to get the boy and the girl elf because you will never know who is coming to visit and perhaps both will come one day to help keep an eye on ALL of the children!

Friends

I just wanted to put a few thoughts down - inspired by a post written by one of my best friends ever.    Growing up, I only had a few friends.  I was friendly with a LOT of people and knew a lot of people but there were only a handful of people that I considered my FRIEND.  As the years have gone by since graduating high school, we have gone our separate ways and have lost some communication but I am grateful for technology that allows us to be reconnected - yes, I am talking about Facebook.  I have in the last 15 years replaced time out with friends, phone calls, lunch time, class projects, etc.. with my family.  I now am a mom and my life revolves around my children and husband.  I love being a mom and yes, it isn't always easy but I still value the friendships that I have.    I wanted to post this note that was written by my friend Sara about me ~ written to my children.

A Pocket!!

Sometimes we all need a reminder to take a step back and remember and enjoy the small things of life.  There is nothing quite like the excitement on a 1 year old's face as they discover that they have a pocket!!  It is so exciting and the possibilites of filling it are endless!!   As time goes on, we get busy and weighed down with the burdens of life and often forget to look at the small stuff.  Take time and stop and find the excitement of a pocket!!  You never know what you will find... Ok, so it may not be as exciting as it is to a child but stop and enjoy life.  Remember what is important.

So.. There is a secret to this wonderful, fabulous, I will always make this recipe kind of bread.  And here it is. Yup!!  PUDDING!  I had to buy this brand because that was all t...
