In the Pink


This weekend my friend Marti and I will be participating in the Avon 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer in Denver. To prepare for the event, of course, I went shopping! For anyone who is interested in pink workout gear, Nike has a ton of cute stuff. I had a hard time finding stuff in the stores, but I did find some cute tops in the little girls section (no laughing).

I am looking forward to the walk, and to spending time with Marti, since we don't get to spend much time together. Most of all, I am excited to wear my new pink duds!

The Longest Day

Today was the longest day in history. My daughter, bless her heart, did everything in her power to make me completely crazy. Of course, there is always a silver lining to even the darkest of clouds. This morning my daughter got herself dressed and her outfit completely matched. She chose to wear hot pink shorts and a hot pink and orange striped tank top. Even her hot pink bathing suit matched. So, I guess I can look back at the day and say, "well, at least she looked good while she was driving me nuts!"

Totally Cute!

Anthropologie's summer catalog is out and is full of super cute tops, pants and dresses! I urge everyone to check it out. I can't wait to go shopping, and just as soon as I get over this terrible cold which makes me very sleepy I am going to make a few purchases.

My recent big purchase was a new pair of Nike Shox running shoes. I got some with a pink "swoosh," which should fit in perfectly during my Avon Two-Day Walk for Breast Cancer, which is in Denver at the end of June. They are the perfect shoes to get me through the walk!

One Whole Year


Today my beautiful baby boy celebrated his first birthday. We had a fabulous first year. Benjamin is a perfect baby. His pregnancy was relatively easy and uneventful. His labor and delivery was a breeze. He slept through the night by 8 weeks, never bothered me with a morning nap, and give me about 4 solid months where he could sit up and play but couldn't go anywhere. Seriously - the best baby ever (except for his sister who was also a great baby). So, today was bittersweet. I was sad to say goodbye to this wonderful year, but I am looking forward to watching Benjamin grow and I can't wait to see what kind of person he becomes over this next year. Even in the past two weeks I have noticed a dramatic change in his personality. Since he started getting in his teeth and crawling, he has become more aggressive and willful (just like me!). Happy birthday to my most special little guy. I love you!!!!
