We had more rain than sunshine over the weekend, but the kids and I stayed busy with a new project that's got our creative blood pumping. In addition, I learned I won two blog contests -- an Amazon gift card from Amy Holder and an ARC from Shannon Messenger -- and I've been doing a goofy happy dance since. Hubs and I cooked together, amazing meals both Saturday and Sunday nights, so I have a food buzz on top of everything.
In short, life is good.
Thank goodness, too, because I have quite a week in front of me. I'm coordinator of the Student Store at my daughter's school, and this is the last week of planning before we open our doors next week. Lots to do with that. And, I'm leaving on Friday for NYC, where my family is reuniting for my baby sister's son's baptism. He is her first baby, and we are all so excited to celebrate this event with her. Not only do I have to organize myself for the trip, but I have to help prepare hubs and the kids, who are staying behind but enjoying the weekend at Callaway Gardens, in the Black Mountains of GA. All this, while I WRITE -- 'cause the muse is back in the house!
All this to say: with all that's going on this week, I'm going to unplug and jump in with both feet. I have the energy and motivation to make great things happen in the next couple days, and I'm going for it! I hope you have a great week and reach all your goals, too!!
Remember...
Enjoy it!!

Woohoo! Congrats again! Have a wonderful trip!!
I just KNEW we had a lot in common. I spent 4 glorious summer vacations when I was a kid/teen in Callaway Gardens. Best memories ever.
So nice to hear that things are going well for you! It's always good to know that one of my friends is happy.
Have fun at the Baptism!

Hello. Read one of your comments on an old blog post of mine so I decided to link over. Have a good trip to NY, and congratulations on your nephew's baptism.
Congratulations on winning the blog contests! :) Hope you have a great week!
Wow, you are all so beautiful. I can't imagine growing up with so many sisters. I'm an only child (wah). Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us.
