I hope all of our Canadian friends had a fabulous Canada Day today and I send good wishes to everyone celebrating The 4th of July here in the States this week. I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for this week!!

This weekends shower was a hit and I can't wait to show the whole thing to you.  Here's is a little taste to wet your whistle…

Oh, it was so much fun… and I have so much to share, but I think it will have to wait until next week.  I have a few giveaways that I'm so excited about that I am planning on sharing this week.  Friday is my Birthday so I thought it would be a fun gift week.  It started off with Rebecca Cooper's e-book launch party today and will continue throughout the week.  Sooooo much fun!!  I am also packing my bags and getting ready to jet off to Atlanta for Haven at the end of the week.  Whew… It's been a BUSY summer so far!

I hope you all had a fabulous Father's Day weekend and spent some lovely time with the men in your life.  My man requested hot dogs… He's still a little boy at heart.  I graciously obliged.  At least his request wasn't a 5 course show stopper.

I finally had a minute to go through last week's Friday Flair and after reviewing all of the post that I picked to showcase, I've decided… I must be hungry.  Sorry!!  You guys all have such tempting treats to share…

Happy Monday Everyone! We're heading into our last week of school this week {thank goodness!} It seems like the rest of the country has been out for days now.  I really am looking forward to the summer with my kiddos.  This weekend my friend Sarah & I {along with the help of our two sweet and helpful husbands} started working on her nursery for her two bundles of joy that she is expecting soon.  Some of you may remember Sarah from The Biggest Loser a couple of seasons ago. Here is a video of her story…

After several attempts at IVF that failed Sarah and Jason her sweet husband started down the road of adoption and have been given the gift of adopting a little girl who should arrive here in the next few weeks.  The crazy part of the story is that, not too long into the adoption process Sarah found out that she was pregnant!! The miracle is that this pregnancy and baby are healthy and strong so… Sarah and Jason will have TWO sweet little girls that will be 3 1/2 months apart!!! Eeeeek I'm so excited. Here is a sneak peek of the nursery so far…

We can't wait to show off the room when it's done!  Oh and the babies too!!
