What a Difference a Year Makes

One year ago today, I was sitting in a hospital room waiting to go home with my baby after giving birth two days earlier. And, then the day took a turn for the worse. I had delivered four weeks early because I had developed severe preeclampsia. And, my blood pressure wasn’t returning to safe levels. […]

What Was I Thinking?

Hello, my fellow sweet shoppe friends… Rebecca here with today’s post, titled – What Was I Thinking?  hahaha…  When I told my plan to the SSD Babes and Designers (and the reason why I was going to be scarce for a few days)… they all told me I was nuts! Many of you probably remember […]

A Family Day Out

Good morning Sweet Shoppers! I can’t believe how quickly this summer has passed. I know lots of you are back to school (or will be soon). We have a couple of weeks left here and are starting to get ready now. We haven’t had the best summer here, it has rained more days than it […]

Our Summer

Hi There Sweet Shoppers! The month of August is here and has seemed to have just swept in so quickly, at least for me. As I see everyone around us getting their kids ready for school, I realize that will be us next year. I am in no rush though! It is a year away […]

8.9-So Summer is almost over what a mixed blessing!

So, here I sit-one week and one day away from the end of my Summer vacation-I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be happy or sad-because my emotions run both sides at any given moment. I have had an unusually long Summer-I was out an entire 10 days before Landen was out of school so […]

Getting my workout on

Hi Sweet Shoppers! Today I am going to being you a topic I love to hate. Working out. I hate working out. I dread it. Deep down I wish (well, really not that deep) I wish I had the body type that didn’t have to work out. Working out is hard. It’s not particularity fun. […]

Good morning sweeties! Each day this week I have realized more and more that our summer is coming to a close. Every year at this time of year I have mixed feelings. First, I really am excited to get back to a normal routine, with a little less chaos of the kids all home all […]

Back when we were in school…

Good morning Sweet Shoppers!  In some parts of the world right now school supplies are being bought, hair is being cut and kids are starting to get anxious about the beginning of the school year.  I know here in our house it’s less than 2 weeks away and my son can’t wait to get back […]

We’re doing it!

  Homeschooling!!! Oh my goodness, it is for real now. We are officially starting kindergarten with my son Ben at the end of this month! I sent in the letter… the BIG letter stating our intentions to educate our child at home. It’s daunting. It’s empowering. It’s exciting. It’s, honestly, terrifying. There are moments when […]
