One year ago today, I brought this little guy into this world. I can't believe how fast these last 12 months went by.

[Mother's Day Giveaway Event] Sponsor Spotlight: Turning Heads Boutique
Every mother I know, including myself, is walking around with a camera, or two, or three in their purse or diaper bag. You don’t ever want to be caught in that moment you just don’t want forget....without a camera. With that in mind...I found the perfect little gift for Mom this year!
Mom will be able to spot her camera out of other cameras or from the bottom of the bag instantly with these personalized camera straps from Turning Heads Boutique. You can even design it to fit Mom’s style. The fabric, thread color and font are all your choice.
I chose a black pattern for my fabric and pink thread to embroider my name on my camera strap. I loved working with Esther and Rhoda from Turning Heads Boutique. Their shop has so many items to choose from and I love the colorful fabrics available. Their customer service is both professional and personable, my favorite qualities in a great Etsy shop.

[Mother's Day Giveaway Event] Sponsor Spotlight: Journal 10+
We’ve all tried journalizing at some point in our lives. I have a journal for each pregnancy, a fertility journal, a journal for the kids and all of their milestones and a diet log. Each of these are, of course, missing huge blocks of time. You can flip through them and tell when life got too busy. This doesn’t include the other information you have to keep track of like, hours at work and at what job, mileage, expenses, medicine taken, etc. Now, the next question…where are they now?
Journal 10+ solves all of these problems with one beautiful, sturdy book. Yes, I said that right…ONE book. In the beginning of the Journal 10+, there are pages for looking forward. You can write your short- and long-term goals for life, love and career. The cover and binding is strong and will last all 10 years and beyond. Included, it also has 2 ribbon bookmarks to help keep your place from day to day.
You can document over 10 years of daily events. On the daily pages, you are given 4 lines for each day but a cross reference system to lead you to extra pages in the back if you want more space. My favorite part of the daily journal pages is that each page is designated for the same date over the 10 years. So, over the next 10 years, you can look back and see exactly what you did on that date years before.
My kids are growing up so fast and I love to be sent down memory lane by accident. This could be a daily trip looking back and reading about the first time Noah took steps, the twins’ first day of school or Conner’s first home run.
After the extra journal pages, you’ll find pages to track medical and automobile information for each year. I don’t necessarily need to track automobile information so, this is where I’m going to keep track of the boys’ asthma attacks and my own pancreatitis attacks (I am determined to get this taken care of LONG before 10 years from now). There is even a place to keep your addresses, phone numbers and special dates in one place.
I am so excited to use my Journal 10+, more particularly after the first year when I can start looking back and seeing how my kids have grown, how my companies have developed and how life has transformed. I am turning 30 in just a few very short months and I think this is a great start to a new decade.

Easter Fun
I've been collecting some fun ideas to do with the kids on Pinterest since my oldest is officially on Spring Break today.
They would go crazy for Perry the Platypus eggs!
Check out my favorites on Pinterest. I know I can't get to them all this year, but I can try. I'm definitely doing the cracked egg easter eggs and sheep cupcakes. I don't know if I'll get to it, but I do love the chalkboard eggs too.
What other things do you plan to do with the kids for Easter?
