Memorial Day

Officially, Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, honors the war dead. Unofficially, the day is the start of summer-Today for our family we happen to feel the bitter -sweetness of this day all too well....last year at this time  my Uncle who was a WWII Vet passed aways.
 My daughters class took a trip to put flags at the graves -after last year, she feels the need more to honor the men and woman who have served.
 A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. At Arlington National Cemetery, headstones are graced with small American flags.

I know at this time our family will take a moment too....as we all should -if its for family or not  we should be greatful for the freedon we are blessed with and those who gave it to us.

WW----Cupcake fun

 a little of these two

I'm sharing this post as a challange from Coffee-mate Brew Crew

Share who inspires you most.
How did that person impact your life? 





MY MOM

She's the one who's had the most impact in all the choices I've made.

#1 She put her faith first....even when it meant having family turn away---Her father even refused to give her away at her wedding! Thankfully in time things did mend and they are closer now...but for year is was very tough.

#2 aside from GOD her family (my dad,brother, and me)  everything she did was to make one or all of us as happy as she could. Now with the grand babies-there just another generation to spread her love too.

#3 she wanted to stay home but knew my Dads job alone would cut it -- She started her own child care right in our home. There was one summer we had 7 kids that were coming on different days--it was great playmates for my brother and I

#4 I've seen her struggle over the last few years with physical and mental issues, that I'll not get into very deeply, but even at her darkest moment(and they've been pretty low) she'd call me or my brother just to say "I Love You!!

#5 She inspiries me because watching her I feel there is HOPE FOR ME AS A MOM!

Stonyfield Organic Yogurt Party

I was thrilled as part of MomMeet to try out Stonyfild greek yogurt  - YoToddler line! The line gives the child an opptunity to grow up organic.

YoToddler Yogurt makes it a little easier. This organic whole milk yogurt has the protein, calcium and omega-3 DHA toddlers need to grow up healthy, with a taste they really love. Then they can move up to YoKids that has no artificial color,preservatives or high-fructose corn syrup! JUST YUMMY YOGURT!

some guest were a little shy to show their faces...

while others just couldn't get enough!!!!!

The Moms got to sample some of the greek yogurt line from stonyfield,

and this Mama love it so much she wanted to take home some for the older kids that were not at the party!!!

The over all view from all the guest was a 5 out of 5 stars for taste.
