Thank you all for another wonderful week and for visiting my site! I am still trying to get in my blogging groove now that I have two very busy kiddos with school and activity schedules. I thought this was supposed to get easier… not more challenging! Between homework, extracurricular activities, and our school calendar, I am ragged by the end of the day. Thank you for your patience with this.

If you have a moment, I wanted to share with you my interview with Ladies’ Home Journal in a new feature they debuted called, “Portrait of a Lady.” I would just like to thank them for featuring me this week and I hope this gives you a little more insight into the kind of lady I am!

Don’t forget to check out this week’s Apron Full of Giveaways and hear about my 30 Day Challenges that I am embracing this year!

Finally, but most importantly, a HUGE thank you to Freebies 4 Mom for showcasing all of the best freebies on the web this week. I adore Heather and feel lucky to call her my blogging friend.
