Been a LONG TIME!
Hi, Everyone!
Wow! I can’t believe we are soon approaching the year 2012. I don’t know where the time has gone! It has been a bit hectic lately. What can I fill you in on? I recently had Pneumonia and I did not think it would take this long to recover. I am back to feeling good, but still feel tired and because I have not been at the gym for over two weeks, my energy is on the low side. I NEED to get back into shape. I actually feel pretty good weight wise, but not toned. Okay, enough about ME.
My business is now into the THIRD year, the end of Nov. marked my second year anniversary and I am gathering some great products to make a gift basket full of goodies for ONE lucky winner, so stay tuned for the giveaway sometime this New Year. If any baby companies out there are interested in donating any products and becoming a potential vendor that I order from, simply email me at: info@startingoutsmall.com as soon as possible to let me know what you have to offer.
My youngest child is a sweet, adorable, funny, YET very mischievous little girl. I have a LOT of fun with her, but oh, boy, does she keep me on my toes. Some of the things she has done, I just can’t even blog about, because it is hard to believe and truthfully, makes me look like a “bad momma” so I will skip those few things, but she has become kind of tricky lately and she is not even 3! She speaks up a storm and has an answer for everything. I DO love her curiosity though and the fact that she wants to know everything, she soaks up everything like a sponge and I can’t pull the wool over her eyes about ANYTHING! The other day, she told me “You look beautiful, like a princess!” I was not dressed in my usual attire of jeans and a black shirt, so I must have looked like I was going to a royal ball. I took the compliment and thanked her. I believe I was just going out to dinner with my hubby (which we rarely get a chance to do).
I remember when I was an early childhood teacher I would often jot down all the funny and cute things my students would say, I thought to create a book about the funny things my Kindergarteners said, but never got around to it. Though I do still have the material. I never threw it out and my “first students” are in college now and I am NOT that old!!! (but it makes me feel old!) I should start doing that with my children. They say the cleverest things! My older daughter said to me today, “I am SO happy I have her”. She was talking about her little sister. Even though they are 8 1/2 years apart, it is her only sister with a brother in between for both of them and she said, “I don’t even remember what it was like not having her”. I responded that is what it is like when you love someone so much, you can’t remember life before them. She does add so much to our lives and I feel truly blessed to have three terrific kids! What are you thankful for before the year ends?
It is nice to be writing again…I am sorry it has been so long. What have you all been up to lately? Happy 2012! Wishing everyone a healthy, happy New year filled with lots of success, blessings and love!
