Here's to trying!

I came across this inspired quote tonight.  Loved it and really wish I was better at it.

I don't know about you guys, but I really stress about "ruining" my children because I feel like I don't know what I'm doing half the time.  If you share my worries, or maybe ya don't and I'm just ca-razy.  Haha.  But, check out this awesomeness over at one of my new fav blogs, "That's So Cuegly." She has a pretty fabulous list of ways you can raise a more confident kid.  Thanks, Linz, for the new mantra!

The Winner!

A big congratulations and a little happy celebration dance to...

Quotable Monday - Welcome Fall

Speak Kindly

Be kind.  You never know how ones day has fallen.

Get Excited - Addie is back.

The summer goes by pretty slowly when you don't have internet access in your new home -

and when the closest person you know lives 5 hours away.

But it is the absolute WORST when -

you live in Washington D.C. and your husband lives in Dallas.

Needless to say, I'm thrilled to be back.

And you have reason to be stoked out of your panties,

because we are celebrating the coming birth of

BABY G

with a lawn party at sunset.

With, you know, how about

the best sugar cookie recipe ever.

homemade limeade.

printable templates for your own party.

a tutorial on making probably the cutest fan flowers.

And after tomorrow, you better believe I'm going to share 

this goodness and more with you.

Stay Tuned.  

The Sissies are Back.
