Papers, papers and more papers! This is just ONE days worth of papers that my girls brought home. I have a whole garbage bag (overflowing in fact), waiting to be burned when the weather turns. Just think, the kids have been in school over 100 days and I have at least this many papers daily....now you can imagine the size of the bag. WOW.

Mama and Step-monster's 20th Anniversary!
Today is my mom and my step-dad's 20th Anniversary! As you can see from the picture....mom has has an awesome 20 years with Carl! Oh wait, wrong picture, my bad....such an easy mistake....
THERE we go...Im sure you see the resemblence... SO, as I was saying, they have been together for 20 years now. Good times, bad times.....just living life. Both, never afraid to stand up for their beliefs. Which is why on this day, when most couple would be in a hotel..playing a little Barry White...and drinking and wine and ......well you know! Mom and Carl have put on their helmets and warrior gear and are headed off to the state capital of Albany, NY to stand up for our constitutional rights! To say I am proud of them is a understatement. And to be honest, Id rather think of them heading off to do political battle then the whole Barry White thing *SHUDDER! :) Love you...be safe Mom and Carl ...and Happy 20th Anniversary!

My life in a nutshell
I'm Kirsten. I'm officially 40 something...that's an age isn't it? I have three kids. Today I am referring to them as kids. Some days I may refer to them with alternate terms ie: Brats, Rats, Hellions, Angelic Cherubs, Loves of my Life..you get the idea. I am attempting to blog for a few reasons.
* So that I can see what kind of creativity I may still posses after spending most of my days over the last 10 years either working outside the house or parenting. (Im doubting my creativity at this point, my brain feels like melted marshmallows)
*So that I might be able to remember what I have done this past year. I rarely remember yesterday. (refer to melted marshmallows comment)
*And of course, so that I can learn to blog, have such an interesting blog that millions of adoring fans flock to my page and make a ton of money, show up as number one on the top blog sites and get my own reality tv show. (refer to melted marshmallows comment)
So, I will be sharing photos of my mouthwatering dishes. Ok, so to be fair, some of them my kids take a bite of and then scrape their plates into the garbage. However, sometimes they rave and in that moment .....I am a hero! I will share and let you know what the family reviews were. I will let you know my little baby steps I take in homeschooling. I am hope that I dont want to scrape this one into the garbage after we start! No fortysomething (ok, 42 as I start this blog) mother can resist a little me time, feminine time, drink a little wine and savor a little chocolate time! I will be sharing this as well. Hopefully I will remember tomorrow that I started this blog. (refer to melted marshmallows comment)
