Happy 5th Birthday!

Today is my son's 5th birthday! It has been such a wonderful 5 years. My mom always told me "Once you see that face, you will forget all about the labor pains you went through". And she's so right. I do remember the 22 hours but 5 years later, all I can remember are the fun times I've had so far with this little guy. He's brought so much joy to our family. I can never imagine life without him.

Happy Birthday Andre! Hope you enjoy it! Continue being my shining star! Love you so much, Mommy

Look what my tv can do!

I have to admit that I'm a tv junkie. I love watching reality shows and if I'm not home to watch one, I have to record it. I used to only be able to watch it on our living room tv and with 4 of us in the household, it was difficult to balance out equal viewing times. Now that we've made the switch to Verizon FIOS, we can all record our favorite shows in the living room & access the it in any bedroom. Its that simple. Verizon FIOS has made watching tv so much fun.
Verizon TV also has widgets which you can access the local weather, traffic and even my horoscope. Imagine even being able to update your status on Facebook or tweet on Twitter! There's also an app that can you can download to your phone which acts as a remote for those times where the remote seems too far for you to get up and grab. Voila! Change channels through your phone! Its really such a great tool and easy to use.

Sounds great, right? Verizon FIOS is only available in select parts of the country so find out if it is available in your area here








“I wrote this review while participating in a brand team campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS.Verizon will send me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Where has the time gone by....

 Today was my son's stepping up ceremony from pre-k. Oh how I remember his 1st day at school and the nervousness I felt for him. I didn't know if he would have problems making friends, or feel alone in a new environment. I had jitters. On that 1st day, he happily told me "Mom see you later. You can go now." That was the independent little boy we were raising. Yes my heart was broken a bit because I wanted him to need me more at least till he's 21.
As I sat & watched with my family, at how excited he was performing with his classmates, I saw my son growing before my eyes. He made us so proud. He has accomplished so much in this past year and I look forward to the many more years of joy that he will bring. He's growing into such a big boy that he's no longer a baby, but will always be my baby.

Love you Andre. You are my shining star!

Happy 1st Birthday Caden!

Today is my great nephew, Caden's 1st birthday! His precious blue eyes have won our family over, especially his mommy Justine. I can't believe that the year has gone by so quickly. He's grown into such a big boy eating everything in sight! He's not a picky eater at all. He's been walking since he was 10 months and is truly amazing every day. We want to wish Caden a great 1st birthday! You have blessed our family in so many ways.
We love you Caden!
