It can also affect other tissues such as bones and skin. Neurofibromatosis causes tumors to grow anywhere on […]

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. […]

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 […]

A Little Getaway

Hello friends!! Happy Tuesday!! To be honest with you, I am having a really hard time getting back into the swing of things this week!! This past weekend, my husband and I were lucky enough to have a couple of days away. We have been wanting to go to a Sporting Kansas City game all […]

Knights & Dragons Birthday Party

My son is a huge fan of knights. He has been completely enthralled with them ever since we took him to the Renaissance Festival that came to town a few years ago. I was beyond thrilled when Misty Cato released a new prince and princess kit back in June. Especially since I was in the […]

My Pretty Ballerinas

Hi everyone!  It’s Dana and I thought I would spend a few seconds bragging about my girlies today 🙂  I was trying to think of something else to write about – but after several days of trying to come up with a good idea, I realized that all my time lately has been spent doing […]

Graduation woes

Hello my digital friends, Mary here bringing you today’s bliss. I have two graduates this year well 3 really. I am a little disappointed with the schools here in CT or at least where I live. When I lived in NJ I remember all of my girls having a Pre-K, Kindergarten and 4th grade graduation. […]

Are you tough enough?!

Happy Monday Sweet Shoppers! Erin here today to chat about something “tough” that my husband did over this past weekend. As many know, extreme 5k’s are becoming quite common. There’s the Warrior Dash, The Color Run, the Zombie Run, etc. Well my husband decided to take it to the next level and complete the Tough […]

My Birthday + Being Better

Hola Sweet Shoppers! Lex here, and today is my 34th birthday! I don’t feel 34. I mean, I would think once I hit my 30s I would feel all wise and stuff, but…no. I feel more aches and pains than I used to, lol, but no more wise. Today will be a fun, largely food-filled […]
