Monday Blog hops and a Deployment update.

I've been able to communicate with my husband almost every day which is making this a little easier.

The kids are still having a bit of a hard times but that's to be expected.

My son's birthday is coming up in a few days and he is heartbroken that his dad won't be here.

More than that though I think it's even harder on my husband.

I'm making a huge deal out of this party and plan on taking a ton of pictures.

So expect to be over loaded with pictures this weekend!

Now on to the blog hops. Happy Monday and have fun making new bloggy friends

Weekend blog hops!

If you are new to my blog make sure you enter my Freschetta prize pack giveaway

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

A Halloween birthday party!!!

My son's Halloween themed Birthday party next week and I need some major help.

I am wanting to do some fun but easy finger foods and am at a loss for ideas.

It's an early evening party.

So I am hoping some of my bloggy friends can help me out.

What kind of fun finger foods would you have at a kids party?

There will be a wide range of ages.

The food doesn't need to be Halloween themes because everything else will be.

Thank you all ahead of time and I look forward to hearing everyones advice.

Please make a fallen Marines last wish come true!!!

Marine SSGT Thomas Dudley was KIA in July of 2011.

He had been in the process of adopting his step daughter Taylor.

To him she was already his daughter and they both wanted to make it legal.

There is a petition to help this family make this fallen Marines last wish come true.

So I am asking for you all to go here and sign it if you believe it is the right thing to do.

And when you are done make sure you stop by his wife's blog and show her some support.

RIP

SSGT Thomas Dudley USMC

Gone but never forgotten

Friday Blog Hops!





My little girl isn't a baby anymore WHAT???

This week I have realized my two year old is no longer a baby.

She has become a very independent little person.

How did this little girl who needed me so much only yesterday grow up in the blink of an eye?

She wakes up every morning and walks down the stairs with her blankie and says "mommy breakfast?"

I should be ecstatic about this but a huge part of me is very sad.

As parents it is bittersweet watching our babies grow up.

The problem is that she is growing so much while my husband is gone.

I try my best to tell him everything she is learning and doing, but these things only happen once and we can't change that.

Rather than continuing to be sad about this I a going to put all my energy into making an amazing scrapbook of all the things she is doing while he is away!

Monday Blog Hops!







 

Thinking about Christmas already!

It's almost that time of the year and I am super excited!!!

I have a major obsession with holidays traditions especially Christmas.

It all starts in the fall with deciding on Christmas cards.

This year I will be getting mine through Tiny Prints.

With so many wonderful shapes and styles to choose from we can all send out the perfect card this year.

Who can resists these beautiful cards?

The circles cards are so cute and have so many options to choose from.

And a pop up card? I never even knew it was possible to get a custom pop up card!

I am still deciding which one will be perfect for my family.

With my husband gone this year I have decided to use a picture from the day he left.

After all he's a part of this family and I want it to be special even if we have to celebrate without him.

So what is your favorite holiday tradition?

Do you send out cards?

I would love to hear what all my readers think about the new Tiny Prints Holiday line.

This is a sponsored post by Tiny Prints and I will be receiving a code for free cards in return for my honest review. All opinions in the post are that of my own.
