Sak Bag

Have you seen this really cute purse Kristin (An ordinary life)’s giving away? I am not one for purses but well i love this one. It’s really cute and really roomy. That is a plus for me since Owen’s almost out of the diapers stage so quick trips would be easier if I could just stuff some things in a roomy purse and go. This is what Kristin had to say about The Sak bag on her site: “This SILVERLAKE LEATHER FLAP is made of super soft leather. The modern design will put some wing in your step. It’s flap will allows for easy organization, something we all know us Moms need. It has the compartment zipper closure and one on the inside of the purse as well. One feature I really thought was interesting was the inside lining! It was created especially for The Sak by the Paris born graffiti artist Gilles Jourdan. The Silverlake Leather Flap is one gorgeous bag, large enough to fit all the essentials the perfect addition to any Moms wardrobe. It’s spring so lets put some spring into your step!”

Now I’m sure your wondering how in the world do I win won? well just go to this POST and tell her what you think of when you hear the Sak. Also of course make sure to leave your email if your not a blogger or it’s not on your blog…..and as always you can get an extra entry when you blog about it and link her up.

Well now it’s time for bed.

Momagenda?!

Have you seen the latest give away on Gina (a wrestling addicted mom)’s blog? Well if not you can find it HERE. this thing is really neat. Here is a little info Gina left about Momagenda:
“
MomAgenda was developed by Nina Restieri who is also a busy mom of four kids and was just overwhelmed with the amount of appointments her kids had, she wanted to get organized and this led to a great business idea, not only to help herself, but to help other mom’s eliminate the chaos in their lives.

She surveyed hundreds of mom’s and found out that they all shared the desire to be a mom, be a “together woman” who could always be on schedule and remain hip and stylish while keeping that organization.

MomAgenda came about. MomAgenda provides upscale day planners and the ability to keep track of all those schedules so many mom’s need to keep organized. Not only does MomAgenda provide day planners that allow a week-at-a-view spread, they also have rows available for each child, the mom, space for notes, dinner suggestions and an inspirational quote for each week.

MomAgenda is a MUST HAVE for busy mom’s. I just love mine already, it’s going to help tremendously this summer when we have so many things going on, places to go, people to see, activities to plan. It will for once keep me organized and remind me, what I have to do and when, without having that ‘mommy brain’ all the time.”

So of course now you want to your own don’t you? Well i’m hoping to win myself the momAgenda Desktop in Fuchsia. I know it’d make my life so much easier lol!

Happy Mother’s Day!

wow it’s been a crazy last few weeks around here. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a week since my grandma passed away. It’s just one of those odd feelings that just don’t feel real. You know as a kid you always believe that your grandparents (and parents) are going to be around forever, when really they aren’t. She passed away May 2nd after a four month battle with lung/bone cancer. I know she’s in a better place and not in any pain but it still makes it hard. I haven’t really let it set in yet and i know when it does it’ll be bad. We had the funeral on the 8th and it went really well. I even got up to read a poem I wrote for my grandma. She always pushed me on this and ALWAYS asked how i was going with it and if i was still writing. It was only fitting that I write/read something for her. Any how, here is the poem I wrote/read for her:

“As a warm breeze enters the room,
It carries the smell of fresh flowers,
reminding me of you!
Then I hear the sounds of a car coming up the road,
without a second thought I go racing out the door.
Only to rememeber you’re not here anymore.

So hard it is to hear those familiar sounds,
and know you’re not with us anymore.
So hard it is to pick up the phone,
then remeber you wont be on the other end.

The times change as fast as the seasons do,
and we know that it’s apart of life.
It still doesn’t make it any easier,
knowing your aren’t here to share our lives with.

All the little things we took for granted,
are the things we miss the most.
All the little things you do and say,
are the things we’ll remember the most.

Now you’re so far away from us,
but at the same time so close to our hearts.
We love you and miss you always Grandma Kaja”
