Motherhood Means...

Hugging your kids whenever they are are sad or afraid. 
Always being there for them, even when you yourself aren't well. 
Illnesses are tenderly cared for, no matter the time of day or night. 
Laughing with your kids a lot, all the time, for the silliest of reasons. 
Mopping up a lot of messes...
And helping them make those messes to begin with. 
Realizing for the first time how amazing your own mother is, and finally understanding the sacrifices she made for you. 
Yearning for the time when your kids used to nestle quietly in your arms, while feeling proud they have come as far as they have.


 Happy Mother's Day to all you Mamas out there... we know how hard you work.
Enjoy your day!

    Andrea,

    This poem was posted on fb a few minutes ago - enjoy!

    "A newborns cry
    ten tiny toes
    ten perfect fingers
    a small perky nose

    scraped knobby knees
    boo boo kisses
    wipe their tears
    love never misses

    moody,grumpy attitudes
    cries and shouts of joy
    enter the teens
    whether a girl or a boy

    dating and marriage
    we see them through
    what were we thinking
    they grow to soon

    perfect children or not
    mothers we are
    to all of them
    you are a star♥"

The Sweetest Little Thing

The giveaway is closed to new entries! I will be selecting a winner at random and will notify the winner soon! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am doing a giveaway for a beautiful, sweet little girls' apron. It ties around the back, has buttons down the front and has a cute little pocket for your chef-in-training to keep their mandolin or their chinoise in. Or whatever else fits. As you can see, it is pink with white polka dots and white trim. The buttons alternate in pink and white. I made this myself, and I will make one for you too! Well, not really for you. Unless you are a child who is extremely adept at using a computer to visit blogs. Which there probably are some. But really, it is for your daughter, your granddaughter, your neighbor's daughter, your niece, your BFF's daughter, or any other little girl that you love enough to try and win this for. You can also see more pictures of the apron over at Airing My Dirty Laundry . Entering is easy. Ways to enter are: 1. F

Pinot's Palette Town Square

The twins have been born!! In case you are wondering why I have been posting so little lately, this explains my absence. It's pretty amazing to snuggle two fuzzy baby heads instead of just one! But... it is also twice the work. Because of this, the sleepless nights and monotony of daily life tend to take their toll. Add into the mix 4 other children, whom I homeschool, and you get a mama who is in need of a good night out with friends. I have yet to attend a paint and sip studio, but I am kinda dying to get to one! The idea of relaxing with friends and having a chance to paint with something other than finger paints is very appealing to me right now. A little birdie told me that Pinot's Palette is opening a new location at one of my favorite spots - Town Square. In fact, it seems they're partnering with St. Jude's Research Hospital for their opening weekend on April 7th and 8th . I love a successful company that finds ways to pass on their good fortune, don't y

My Big Break

I made another video, starring ME. This is my big break. I am going to be discovered, I just know it. Leave me a comment and tell me how much of a fan you are and how you are going to name your children and/or pets after me. Follow me on Twitter. Stalk me a little. Ok, do not stalk me. I will call the cops on you. But you can totally dress like me, that would be cool. I am not sure where you are going to find such hip and stylish clothes, but it might be Target. I am neither denying nor confirming. I have had so much fun with all of this, I feel so privileged to have worked with Graco at the Expo! Don't forget to enter the giveaway of a Graco Direct Connect Baby Monitor!!
