Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day!

More significant than this just being an extended weekend - today is a day to remember those who have lost their lives defending our country.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone mourning a loved one today.

Happy Mother’s Day

From one Mom to another, I would like to wish all of the Mommy’s and Mommies-To-Be out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope you’re able to take some time to yourself today for a little bit of rest and relaxation. Try to get some pampering in there, if you can, too!

Hug your babies tight today… and don’t forget to call your Mom! :)

Earth Day 2008

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day!

Every year, on April 22nd, we are reminded of just how important our planet is to us. Earth Day is a celebration of our home in the universe, and gives us a chance to do a little something to improve upon our environment.

Do Something Good

I hope that everyone will take the opportunity to do something good for the Earth today. It doesn’t matter how small of a gesture… Whether you write a post on your blog promoting environmental awareness, plant a tree, recycle those old newspapers or soda cans that have been sitting in the garage, LOL.

Just do something, because every little bit helps!

For a bit of inspiration, below are a few web sites promoting Earth Day. I hope you’ll visit, and be inspired to make a difference in our environment.

Blog Action Day 2007 Revisited

Last October, I was one of over 20,000 participants of Blog Action Day.

Last year’s theme focused on the Environment. What better time than now to link back to that post…

How Will You Help?

What are you going to do to honor the Earth today?

I’d love to hear your plans for the day. If you are posting about Earth Day and the Environment, or planning on doing something special for our planet, please feel free to share in the comments below.

Happy Easter

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!

I’m getting ready for an Easter egg hunt with my little one. I’m looking forward to her excitement over it! She’s had a great time so far this morning, with all of the surprises the Easter Bunny left for her this morning.

I hope your day is equally as fun!

No, I’m not Irish, but I could use all the luck I can get, too…

Happy Valentine’s Day

Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day - I hope your day is filled with love and happiness!

As for me, I’ve got two amazingly wonderful sweetie pies! My daughter is now saying “Happy Vines Day”, and my husband gave me the most delicious looking box of chocolates - actually, it looks just like the one in the picture above. I can’t wait to devour them, lol.

Happy New Year

Another new year is upon us, and I’d like to wish you all a wonderful year in 2008!

Here’s to health, happiness and prosperity for the new year! May all of your dreams and wishes come true!
