New Beginnings

Well, hey there!  I'm so happy you found me.  I started this blog years ago when I ran a home based daycare.  It served as a way to keep my daycare families up-to-date on stuff.  I've since closed the daycare and moved on to other things.

I've decided to revamp it and focus on important issues in my life.

     ~ I'm a wife of 7 years to my high school sweetheart and mommy to 3 AWESOME kids.

     ~ I'm a professional cake designer.

     ~ I'm on a fitness journey to get healthier.

     ~ I'm helping a friend with her political campaign.

     ~ Most exciting news of all?  We're selling our home and building our dream home!

I figured I might as well focus on these adventures now.  Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Flooring & Bathroom Selections

Ever taken a trip to the Lowes tile department?  Did you feel like the walls were closing in around you?  I often wonder how many divorces take place because of fights that broke out on those aisles.  It was time for us to make our flooring selections and since I'm keeping it 100% real with y'all, I was scared shitless!!!  We had a conservative figure of $10K in mind.  Did I say conservative??? We arrived at our flooring appointment a little early (only about 10 minutes because we're very punctual people).  I feel like my time is precious and others' time is equally important so we avoid being late at all costs.  Our flooring rep (FR) didn't seem very excited to see us.  She greeted us with pleasantries that seemed a bit...er...umm...forced.  I could see steam coming from hubby's ears so I continued to smile and remain as upbeat  as possible.  Apparently this office was just taken over by her company and the previous company still...

We Took a Trip to Rome

Ok, so we didn't go to Rome the city.  It was suggested by a friend that we visit a new subdivision called River Oaks.  Her family just built there and we were discussing the layouts of our homes.  I may have mentioned that if we  EVER  built again I'd make a few changes.  I told her we weren't in the market to build because we currently live in a Ryan Homes Victoria (not to be confused with the Victoria Falls), that was built in 2008.  It's a beautiful home with vaulted ceilings and an open foyer. What we didn't know at the time was how much of an energy sucker those pretty ceilings and foyer are.  We also never realized how the layout of our home wasn't very functional for our family.  I mean, it doesn't really leave much room to grow (not that we plan on growing).   I'm not saying it's not a good home, not at all! A few weeks ago I convinced the hubby to go visit the model home.  The model, called the Rome, was absolutely stunn...

CIZEing It Up with Shaun T

A major goal for me is to get healthier.  I've been doing Beachbody programs to help get me one step closer.  I'm trying out the newest Shaun T program called CIZE .  I have a love hate relationship with that man!  He makes me work hard and sweat.  I ain't about that life.  But I love to dance and he's got some killer dance moves.  I'm two days in and hurting in places I didn't know existed.  Who would have thought dancing used all these muscles.  I'm excited to see what my results are after the first week (it's a 4 week program).  Stay tuned for updates and progress pics!
