When the Glass Slipper Fits

I can't believe that my baby is 7...that's right she turned 7 and May 7th. We called it her 'Lucky Birthday' which meant we had to go BIG. (Which I do as often as possible since I love to throw parties)

We got up bright and early the day of Payeton's birthday and headed to the salon. Payeton and Alexia were pampered with a hair do, manicure and pedicure. They also got to enjoy a nice cup of hot coco.



Next we went home (so mommy could finish the cake) and had a picnic lunch on the living room floor while watching a princess movie. Mommy and Merri got the girls dressed in their ballgowns and beautified them with makeup. Payeton was Rapunzel and Alexia was a fairy.



Everyone had a blast at the ball! Princess Payeton had a wonderful party and can't wait to do it again!

The End:

New Year...New Goals

Well, it is January 2011 and time to make some new goals. I'm not usually one who sets new years resolutions...knowing that I wont actually commit to them. However, I feel this year that I should, it is time for change. I've decided to go with three goals.

Goal #1: Wealth
Wealth can mean so many different things. This year I would like to start a rainy day fund along with college savings for the girls. I've learned over the past year that unexpected things can arise which can make it hard to survive if you are not prepared.

Goal #2: Wellness
I would like to be fit this year. I have wanted to start running and participate in marathons but for some reason always find an excuse not to. This year my goal is to actually train and participate in several running events. This is great for the body, mind and soul.

Goal #3: Well-being
By well-being I want to focus on myself spiritually, emotionally and mentally. By doing this it will be beneficial for myself and for my children. I am looking forward to going to church this year and focusing on family. I am hoping to read more books this year as well as I have canceled cable!
