Happy Birthday to Me!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!!"
(No, Emily cannot really say that, but she does like to try to blow out candles...)

Today I turned 24. It's not really a momentous number of any kind, but it was a simple and sweet birthday with family:

Reasons this birthday was great!

Scott mowed the lawn before it snowed... (three hours after he mowed!!)

I got a yummy cinnamon roll for breakfast...

I finished a project I have been working on... (ho ho ho!)

I placed a Scentsy party order...

I got to go out to eat with Scott, Emily, my brother Bret and his wife Ash and son Jace...

I got a pretty purple scarf from my brother...

I got a "Kitchen Diva" piggy cookie jar from Scott...(because it reminded Scott of me..WHAT?!)

I got a pretty jewelry box from Scott that hangs on the wall and doubles as a picture frame...

I got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen... mmmm....

I have the cutest little girl in the whole world who makes me laugh everyday...

(She's laughing really hard in this picture...it is SO funny to hear her laugh like that!)
(When you ask Emily for "kisses", she bends her head so you can kiss her forehead...precious.)

It was a really great day. I feel very blessed to have my Scott and my Emily. Thank you Bret, Ashlee, and Jace for coming to dinner with us. It's nice to be around family. Thank you to all who gave me birthday wishes too. It means so much.

Why I haven't blogged in almost a month...

At the end of October, I signed up to sell Scentsy--a wickless candle product. I had no idea how much I would fall in love with the product. So, for the last month, I have been familiarizing myself with the product and having parties.

This product is amazing! If you love candles, you will LOVE Scentsy. It is just like a candle except that the wax melts with a lightbulb in a warmer. That way there is no flame or smoke which makes it way safer than candles. The 80 different scents to choose from make it even more fun! Anyway, for what it's worth, you can visit My Scentsy Website . Click on that and check out my website, the catalog of products, and if you like what you see, send me an email or call me! I would love to do a home party or basket party with you.

It really sells itself, and the hostess benefits are amazing! (Last party I had, the lady got $110 of free products, and there were only six people at her party!) I PROMISE you will love it. We do!!

Happy Halloween!

Here is our little ladybug. Emily discovered the joy of Tootsie Roll Pops. She had two. I kept the paper on, until it became soggy enough, it eventually came off itself. Fiber, maybe? Or just preventing a HUGE sticky mess? Either way, she had some sugary goodness. :) Sorry the pics are all in the stroller. I took video of her running around...for posterity of course! :)

Are you sure this is okay, Mom?

Mmmm..yummy!!!

My halloween costume...CINDERELLA!! :)
