Mommy, I sleep in my dress, ok?

Me dancing!  She sings as she twirls around in her new dress.  The light in my young daughter’s eyes fills me with comfort.  I love making her happy, seeing her precious little mouth curl up towards her sparkling eyes gives me tingles in my heart!  Toddlers have something special about them, a naivety that let’s them enjoy all of the truly little things in life.  I thank heaven for my little child because of her I’m learning how to see life through her eyes and it’s pretty darn cool.  I love you JBird!

PS:  Mamma finally found the camera I've been looking for...so watch out!!  Lot's of cool baby and winter pics to follow!

My Children

My life’s purpose is to be a Mom.  It is the one thing that brings me true joy.  My children light up my life and keep a constant smile on my face.  My not so little, Rach L E Bear, now 18 years old has been accepted to a State University and is moving to a different state to pursue her goals.  I’m so proud of her.  She will soon be a life saving Paramedic and will be able to support herself through college.  That’s my girl!

Me Dear Son will be coming home in a little over three long and worrisome months.  He’s currently in Afghanistan, that’s all I have to say about that.  I love you honey.

JJ is growing up so fast, too fast.  She was my little peanut butter just a couple of years ago.  She’d lay so cozy on my chest with her precious baby like smell.  Now, she’s the fastest runner in the world, she loves to run.  We’re best friend’s, she is my reason for reason.  I thank heaven she is in my life at this time in my life.  Having two grown children away from home doesn’t feel so bad with my darling Johnna B.  Thank you for our daughter Dad.

The Sleep Tight Drive

The final count of the donated items from The Sleep Tight Drive made me very happy.  It's a neat feeling to know that so many people care and want to give and help.  The pajamas, bears and books are being distributed to the local foster home, families in need and to the sherrifs department for children involved in scary situations.  I would like to thank every single person that took the time and went out of their way to donate to this event.  You are appreciated. 


Pajamas: 89
Books: 78
Stuffed animals: 245

Hackers Suck.

I found an adorable web-site called (shabby blogs) and I went as far as to implement a few of their cute designs here on my site.  Whelp, today I was browsing around online while anxiously looking for the newest, cutest and shabbiest gadgets to apply to this blog.  Guess what I learned...the above site was attacked by a malicious virus and is spreading fast.  This is disheartening because that particular blog is so fun, free and full of neat ideas to enhance your blog.  It consists of a few girls who create and design gadgets for anyone to use for free.  S. Blogs is in the process of doing what they can to stop this virus and notify the users of their blog.  It travels fast because if you have any of their gadgets, you can be infected.  Why, why are there so many bad people.  What is the thrill they get from hiding behind their little computers all day and night looking for ways to destroy what people work so hard on.  In this day and age most everything is online.  It's simply sad and I guess in a way I even feel pity for their depressed little souls.  Lastly, I sadly deleted/removed everything I had installed that was in connection with that kind site.

PS: To the Hackers...Get outside and Get a Life.

The Sleep Tight Drive

This event is running pretty darn smooth.  I'm totally impressed and absolutely touched by the generosity of so many people.  It truly melts my heart!  I'm aquiring quite the pile of pajamas, books and bears for children in need.  I can't wait to be there when they recieve these little packages, "just because" everyone deserves a little something out of the blue.  I'll wrap them up with little bows, mark with sizes and gender and off they go.  I received a phone call from a woman at the Health & Human Services of Idaho.  She was calling to ask  me several questions about this donation program...basically wanted to make sure I was on the up and up and not collecting items to sell ect.  The conversation went good.  I've decided to also give some bears to the the Sherriff's office, so they can give to the little children who may be caught in the middle of scary situations and domestic upsets.  Oh, I contacted one of our largest radio stations here in Idaho, 104.3 to ask if they will announce the drive on the radio.  I spoke with the morning DJ, Alana and she's going to post the flyer on their website and call me for an interview.  That really should help get the word out because if this PJ drive is a success it would be nice to make it an annuall event.  This whole thing is so out of my comfort zone and new to me.  It's exciting and I'm meeting a lot of wonderfully kind people and learning so much about so much ;)
