welcome back to me...

Hello! Long time no bloggin'! I am hoping my readers are still around and have missed me just a wee bit. If not, I've at least missed being the author of a blog! I'm in that "needing a vacation after a vacation" mode since we just successfully survived our FIRST family vacation to Hawaii. It was GORGEOUS, and even a bit relaxing. Traveling with three kids --w o a h!!! But all in all, it was wonderful, much needed, and will be probably our most memorable trip with it being our first family trip.

So, with suitcases unpacked and laundry all washed, I am back to the real world of momhood. Cooking for my cooking group (which I just succeeded in convincing my husband to chop up the onions for me as I think my eyeballs truly did fall out while attempting to chop them myself,) working on getting Izzy to sleep in her crib rather than my arms as she has for the past year, and painting both the kitchen and girls' bedroom, I am back to tackling the TO DO list.
