It has been forever since I have written a blog post, and boy have I missed it! Just one of those little things called life, has had a way of demanding all of my time and attention. I have thought about posts, wanted to tell you about great deals and freebies, but honestly I just did not have the time to do it. So I am ecstatic that I now have the time and energy to share with you again! Stay tuned for deal and freebie alerts, do-it-yourself projects that I will attempt, a few giveaways and tidbits of my life!

** Picture of the Week! **

Hi Everyone! This is a picture of my sweet babies on Easter Sunday. As I look at this picture I see how quickly they are growing up! This week I've been taking a little time to enjoy Spring Break with them and have a little fun! Too bad our 70 degree weather isn't coming until next week, but we're working with what we have! (I'm just happy that there is no snow!) 

Enjoy the rest of your week!

** Picture of The Week **

 

This is the first of my Picture of the Week posts! Today I am taking the time to say, "Congratulations" to my babies (even though they claim they are not babies anymore, lol. I constantly remind them that they will forever be my babies!)

 

For the second quarter in a row they have made Honor Roll!! They are truly wonderful children and I am so happy and honored to be their Mom!

** Something to Make Your Day! **

 





 

My children are sooo funny! They showed this video to me last night, and it had me cracking up! To all of the moms out there, maybe you can relate. I know I did! Hopefully, my children will be that enthusiastic to run errands with me ;) lol!

Enjoy!

** Election Day 2012!! **

Today is Election Day! Make your voice heard, go out and vote!! I am heading to the polls in few minutes!! I'm sooo excited! I get excited for Election Day every year. Just knowing what my ancestors went through to have the opportunity to vote, I will never take that for granted. And knowing that people still don't have the freedom to vote reminds me that voting is a privilege.

 

So again, go out and vote! Your vote counts!

Tonight's the night to set your clocks back! That means an extra hour of sleep!!! Yay! It's also a great time to change all of the batteries in your smoke detectors and check the fire extinguisher.

 

Enjoy your extra hour! :)

Have a blessed Tuesday!

Keisha

Hello!

Hi everyone! Well, I've been a little under the weather lately and took some time off to get better and get up and running again. I thought I was feeling better before; but I think that at the first sign of improvement, I jumped right back into the full swing of things without allowing myself time to fully recover. The consequence - feeling even worse, having to go to the doctor, and being on medication for a week. So now I'm trying to pace myself and make sure that I don't overdo things!

Because I've been out of the loop, I've missed out on some freebies :( and my goals and menu plans have not been met. But today is a new day, a new start! I'm not going to post any goals for this week or my menu plan. I'm just going to set my goals day by day for the rest of this week, and I'll have to figure out some simple and quick meals for the next three days (We may go to a get together at a friend's house one night-so no menu planning for that night!! Yay!!)  But my regular goals and meal planning will be back up on Monday!

Were you able to get your free Auntie Anne's pretzel on Saturday or your free paint from Ace Hardware? I missed out, but I have some upcoming posts on some more freebies that will be available! I'm so glad to be back! I've missed you all :)

Have a great day!

Keisha

Just a thought!

Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! What are your plans for today? Here is some motivation and encouragement for you!
