Police Promotion Party

Brett was promoted recently and I had a blast putting together his party!! I found a ton of great ideas on pinterest and was able to recreate a bunch of them!! The party was a huge success and he loved it!! Sorry for the not so great pictures--my photographer didn't remember to bring the good camera and these are off her phone!

Christmas Traditions

After my divorce, it seems that a lot of our Christmas traditions went by the wayside, which makes me sad!! I was always the parent who made sure everything was perfect for my kids for the holidays--I did all the decorating, the gift buying and wrapping, the parties at school, etc etc etc...
Now that the kids are grown, a lot of those things no longer matter as much to them, but I miss doing them. One of my favorite traditions was Santa coming on Christmas Eve and bringing new pajamas to wear!!! I love this and think that even though the kids are 18 and 20 now, I am going to see that Santa drops them off some PJ's this year!! They always looked so cute and coordinated in the Christmas morning pictures...heck maybe Santa will even bring me and my dear boyfriend some too!!! Not everything should change just because the kids got older!! I am looking forward to a wonderful holiday season!!

Under Construction

Stay tuned cause I am about to turn this blog into what it should have been from the start--a place to chat about what's yummy, what's cool, what's cute....just everything I like and I hope you will like too!!
