Our 10th Anniversary

Today is a very important day in the Wilson household. I am excited to say that we have made it to a major milestone in life, we have hit the 10 year mark. 10 years ago today Ned and I became man and wife. In a little white chapel in Las Vegas. That was the best day ever, becoming his wife was the first of many positive things and blessings to come my way. Had I known I sometimes wish I met him sooner, I also know if I had I wouldn’t have been ready for him nor truly appreciated him for who he is and what he really means to me like I do now. So yes I believe its true Mr Right is out there for everyone, you just have to be patient and when you are really ready he will walk in to your life.

Hello world!

Rekinidled My Love For Reading

Well as I was growing up I enjoyed reading, I loved getting lost in books and going to different places. I found it being a great escape from life. Well as becoming a parent I lost that love, between taking care of the kids and the keeping the house.

Gifts In a Jar – Cookies

A fun gift in a jar for friends with kids is cookies, it is something that they can do together so this gift would increase bonding. Here are a few ideas that the cookie jars can be paired with if you want to go a step or two further. Paired with a kids holiday book, or maybe print out some holiday poems, so they can read while enjoying their fresh cookies. A holiday apron is an idea to gift with these as well. A Bowl and wisk or wooden spoon.
