Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go

It is so precious and such a blessing that you and Kelly have been friends("sisters")for so long and now your girls and hers will be close!
Blessings!
BTW, I had to get a volcano candle after seeing you got one on your blog. It's wonderful...even my hubby thought so.

You have the prettiest complexion! I read your post about Merle Norman lipstick (I use MN products, too) and Bare Minerals powder... What other products do you use? Do you use a different foundation under the Bare Minerals powder?
I hope asking such things doesn't seem too strange... :-)
I just found your blog from Kelly's. Please tell me where you got the headband that your daughter Sarah Kate is wearing in several of these recent picture. Also, I LOVE what you did with your new piece of furniture!! I think it makes a great changing table now, and it will work in her room for a long time!! I enjoyed reading all about your family!!
