Sleeping Beauty

In September 2007, a dark wooden crib was set up in a freshly painted bedroom, awaiting our first born daughter.   
 
A short while later in 2010, the crib was relocated into a separate bedroom to await the arrival of our newborn son.
 
In the blink of an eye, that same crib found itself back in the first bedroom to hold our newest baby girl.
 
And now, 8 years and 5 months after first  being assembling in our home, it is time to dismantle and retire that well loved piece of furniture as our precious baby girl is no longer so little. 
 
She is ready for her big girl bed.
 
 


 
 
In moments like this, parenting quotations run rampant through my head but none speaks more truth than:
 

 

The days are long but the years are short.

In business!

Its January 2016 and these kids are chomping at the bit to get to Disney - A.S.A.P.!!
 
BUT!
 
There is a lot saving that needs to be done first!
 
So......
 
Bree and Jake are starting their own (and I use those words very loosely) recycling business. 
 
 
For a set dollar amount, they will come to your house once a month and collect ALL your recyclables and take them to the recycling center.  If you hire them, you'll be helping these kids get on vacation faster AND help save the environment. 
 
This deal just can't be beat!

A New Year

New Years Day.
 
A time to relax.
 
A time to reflect.
 
A time to get a head start on next years Christmas while the holiday spirit still flows.
 
 
358 Days until Christmas!
