Nashville Flood

This past weekend and week has been crazy for the people of Middle Tennessee. I can't believe any of this as I watch the news it's very surreal. It's weird to see people's houses underwater and to think that part of downtown Nashville is the same way. I am ashamed at the lack of concern by the national media about this. But on the other hand I am amazed how the people here have come together to put everything back together.

I wish there was more I could do, but with the kids it's hard. The kids and I did take some stuff to Graceworks in Franklin and also the Metro Animal Shelter. I am trying to find more places that we can help. I really want them to realize what is going on and how it has affected everyone here. So if you are reading this and you can help I encourage you to help in whatever way you can. Also please say a prayer for our state. There are so many people that are in need right now.

Party Planning

In my quest to find some good snacks for Emily's birthday party I have come across some great ideas! I cam across a website for cake pops. I think I am gonna try them out. These would look so cute!



Cake Pops

Ice Cream Party

We are throwing an ice cream party for Emily's 6th birthday. I have found great sites showing examples. I love tha these moms are so crafty. It has inspired me to try and become a crafty mom. The little ones and I are off to get more party stuff. Maybe we will stop off at a craft store on the way.

You can find these here and here.

Behind Life Unexpected

So I changed my blog domain name today. I really liked the name Behind Life Unexpected. It suits my life wonderfully. Everything in my life seems to happen unexpectedly, when I am not looking or even wanting it to happen. Somethings make me want to just hide in a hole somewhere, but everything that has happened in my life unexpectedly has made me a better person and I am greatful for that. It's been a bumpy ride but has turned out great so far, so life keep being unexpected.

Party Time

It's that time again. Birthday time! Emily's birthday is right around the corner. I want to have a girly party. I love these ideas!

Silent Jams

A few months ago Bayson came up to me and was telling me about a new company that two of his friends were starting called Silent Jams. It was going to be a silent disco, where everyone has headphones on and only hear music through them. If you take your headphones off you hear nothing. Well needless to say, I was a big sceptic. I just didn't see how that would be any fun. Well this weekend they had there kick off party and we were there and surprise.....I had a blast! I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would enjoy myself as much as I did. It brought the dancer out in me.

Schools in session

Well I did it. I decided to bite the bullet and go back to school. I am taking 3 online classes and hope I am not in over my head. It's nice though to know with a little time and lots of effort I will have an RN and can do something I love. Now if I could just get Sean to buckle down and do his work it would be a lot happier place at our house.
