Missing...

I know I've been absent from this space for quite some time!  A few of you have even mentioned it to me! Life's been busy (as it always is) and lots of amazing things have happened in the time that I've been away.
Truth of the matter is, I haven't felt like writing.  My only free time to write is after McKenzie goes to bed or on my lunch hour, and recently, I've selfishly wanted those moments to myself! I started this blog with the premise that I would only write when I was inspired.  I didn't want it to be a task or a chore to do.
Over the past few weeks, there have been more than their fair share of inspiring moments that I have wanted to blog about.  I will eventually get around to telling you about it all, but in the meantime, I've been taking it all in.  Spending time with this girl...

Capturing the memories in my mind. Working hard to keep them there forever.  When I have a chance, I'll write the memories down here.  But for now, this post will have to do.

Sorry I've been missing!  I'll be back soon!

5 on Friday - September Edition Week 1

One.I'm currently working on a new logo and design for the website.  I know I just started this blog, so why change it already, but I'm not 100% sure it's what I want.  I'm hopeful that my new logo and design will make me love it even more!
Two.If you don't know about The Skimm, you're missing out!  The Skimm is a daily newsletter that simplifies the headlines for the educated professional who knows enough to know she needs more. They do the reading for you and explain it with fresh editorial content, breaking down what you need to know to start the conversation.  I learned about this through a fellow blogger and have greatly enjoyed reading my daily email from The Skimm.  It gives a summary of the latest current events, so even as a busy Mom who rarely has time to watch the news, you can remain up-to-date on current events!  Check them out!

Three.We're taking McKenzie to a local circus that is in town this weekend.  It's not going to be the big show and spectacle of Ringling Brother's, but I'm excited to go nonetheless.  It will give us an opportunity to get out of the house with her and do something fun!  Pictures to follow!

Four.

I love planning parties!  I especially love the small details of a party.  Even the smallest of parties can feel large scale, just by adding a few personalized touches.  If I had an opportunity to have my dream job, I would start my own event planning business.  I had such a blast planning McKenzie's first birthday!  Her theme was Pink Lemonade!  I will be doing a whole post to detail it soon, but here's a sneak peek of how cute it turned out!    People laughed at me because I put some much time and effort in to something that she won't remember.  I will always remember it though and she will always have the pictures.  The day couldn't have been any more perfect!

I'm so excited that a friend of mine asked me for ideas for her twin's 1st Birthday Party!  We have been plotting for the past few days!  I can't wait to see how cute this party turns out!
Five.Work = crazy.  I work at a hospital who received MAGNET designation. Our MAGNET re-certification is next week and the Joint Commission visits the following.  I have been in over-drive trying to get things ready!

Enjoy your weekend!
