Family Life
Welcome to my ‘Family Life’ page! I am currently a 30 year old mother of three and wife to an amazingly, understanding, hardworking man. My kids are Mercedi Rose – 5, Capri Grace – 4, and Persimoni Mae, aka Pip – 1. So far – Cedi is my determined little monkey who is well spoken, smart, and emotional. Capri is my sweet little ‘moose’. She’s sensitive, stubborn and loving. And Pip, well, Pip is just adorable and sweet and wonderful – but she hasn’t turned 2 yet 
I hope you enjoy reading stories and updates of our Family Life. This is the only way I would ‘scrapbook’ so I definitely take advantage and show LOTS of pictures (all adorable of course).
Why do I call myself ‘One Beer Mom’? Read the story HERE.

Soccer Saturday
Cedi and Capri were on their first Soccer ‘Teams’ this year. I have to say I really enjoyed watching them play. Capri played on the 4K soccer team.With 41 other 5 year olds. It was a bit chaotic but I have to admit I was very impressed at how well they waited in line for their turn and listed to their coaches.Capri’s team mainly did drills. Capri LOVED soccer.Cedi was on the Kindergarten Team. It was really nice because the two teams practiced next to each other at the same day and time of the week. I really thought Cedi...

I can’t believe that my baby is two! I tried to get as many one-year old kisses as she would allow yesterday…not many. It’s bittersweet since I know she’s my last baby. I’ll be doing a post just on my baby Pip either later today or tomorrow with pictures from her big day so I won’t get too sappy right now. I took this picture this morning – I asked her to smile and this is what she gave me…I love this girl! It’s time for me for my final April Check in for ‘A Lovely Year of Finishes’ party that Sew Bittersweet...

I just returned from a wonderful, relaxing get away with my husband to a Bed and Breakfast. I’m not as ‘on top’ of everything as some may think so I’m skipping out of a blog post today (I don’t pre-blog…still trying to work on that…) by once again sharing with you some more shots I took of my lovely girls. This was from one of the nicer days we had earlier this month. The girls were really excited to finally get outside again! Cedi did ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ at school this year. She did a really good job raising some money...

I have lots to get done today so I’m just going to share with you some pictures I took of my kiddo’s in their gymnastics class.

It’s that time again! I need to update you on the ‘instagram’ and other pictures I’ve posted to facebook recently of the family!We’ll get the hurty looking picture done with right away. Cedi was attempting a ‘handstand bridge kick over’ at Grandma and Grandpa’s to impress cousin Shaun and ended up getting a really nice rug burn bruise on her back. Yes, she cried but definitely not for as long as I would have. PS. And now – a week later…you can barely see anything on her back at all…nice and healed up!I...

Future Quilter Quilt Finished!
When I dreamed up creating a ‘Future Quilter’s Quilt’ for Capri I never dreamed so many people would want to contribute to make this special gift for my daughter. The past few months while this project has been going on have just been jaw dropping – I am so grateful to you all! This is truly a special piece of art that my daughter will cherish for many many years! Well – the quilt is finally complete! It’s also been snuggled and slept with many times already too. Last week Capri and I finished the free motion...

Here I go – making up words again. Disclaimer – yes, I’m talking about MY daughter so I probably am over exaggerating her amazing-ness…but that’s what mom’s get to do right? Capri can work on ‘projects’ for hours…literally. I haven’t had much experience with 5 year olds but her older sister definitely does not have the same attention span. So – I shouldn’t have been surprised when Capri came home with this quilt she made with Grandma during their day together last Friday. I know that Grandma has a lot of...
read moreFacebook Update March 18th
Since I’m a regular poster on Facebook I forget that not all my family and friends are on there. So every week or two I’ll try to catch up on all the fun that I’ve been sharing on Facebook! For YEARS I’ve heard that the Avenue Bar has the BEST Friday Night Fish Fry. I’m not sure how many of you know this about me but I LOVE Friday Night Fish Fry. Growing up, I went with my parents what felt like every Friday Night during lent to a Friday Night Fish Fry (I’m sure it wasn’t quite that much). Last year due to sick kids,...
read moreMy Future Quilter, Capri, turns 5
I’m sure many of you reading this already know that on Sunday, my daughter, Capri, turned 5. Capri is constantly creating – she can literally spend hours working on her ‘projects’ in her area under the stairs. If you are familiar with 4/5 year olds – that’s pretty rare to sit still and focus that long. Anyway – about a month ago I put out a request for quilt blocks so I could make a special ‘Future Quilter’s Quilt’ for Capri. The response was overwhelming! I’m not sure what I was worried about – quilter’s...
