A Note to Maya

Dear Maya,

I know you didn't feel very well last week and your sleeping schedule got all screwed up, but you're fine now and it's time to get back to that routine. Two weeks ago you were sleeping through the night and now you're not and that's not good for either one of us. I am a much better mom if get my sleep each night. I tried to explain this to you the other day, to impress upon you the importance of not waking up in the night for a little drink, but you just looked at me and smiled and giggled. So I know you weren't taking me seriously and last night proves it.

You're lucky you have such a patient dad who typically stays up until the wee hours of the morning. He probably saved both of us last night because if I'd had to deal with your shenanigans prior to 1:30 this morning in addition to what I dealt with from 1:30 on...I might have given you back.

Now, you know I love you. I tell you that about 100 times every day. But please, start sleeping for 6 or 7 hours at a time again. Please.

Love,
Mom

Dear Maya,

When you remember how to sleep through the night can you give your friend Elias a quick phone call and LEARN him?? Much appreciated.

Your mama's friend.

GiveAway!!

Image
I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
