My Mom

I wrote about my wedding a few days ago but I really wanted to write about my mom separately, even though if it wasn't for her, my wedding might not have even happened, nor been as beautiful as it was.

My mother is a very special person. She has such an eye for decorating. She can make a piece of paper look like a work of art, a table looked like a museum masterpiece, and a house at Christmas like a Winter Wonderland. I wish I had even 25% of her talent in that area. When I told my mom my colors would be black, white and pink, she made sure everything from that point forward matched. This includes both showers and my bachelorette party. She found tablecloths, flowers, the MOST beautiful cake. I don't even know where she finds these things, but she did. So Mother, thank you for making my wedding so beautiful!

Not only is she a wonderful decorator, but she thinks of things most people would never even think of. For example, for one of my gifts at a shower was thank you cards and stamps. Not only were these thank you cards pretty, but she also got me a "W" stamp in silver to add a little touch of personalization. She thinks of the little things, which honestly, I do not think too much of. Mother, thank you for thinking of the little things when all I was thinking of were the big things!

My mom is not only a great decorator and a thoughtful person, but she also makes sure we don't have to do alot during an already stressful event of getting married. She does the work, she puts in the effort. She was working hard for so long for my wedding because she knew I didn't know where to even begin. Mother, thank you for working so hard to make my wedding day beautiful!

Mom, I know I am not always a great daughter, I know I am not always the most thoughtful or the best at timing; I know I don't always know the right things to do or say, but I do know how much I love and appreciate you. I know how much I appreciate what you've done these last few months. I know how lucky I am to have a mother like you and how lucky I am to have a mother who loves me this much.

I love you Mom. More than you will ever know.

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!&
