I'm a very blessed woman married to my absolute favorite person, Mark. He and I have been best friends for 18 years, were high school sweethearts, and now have 10 children blended together. I'm a quite passionate person. I like ice cream straight from the carton, thinly sliced cheese, fresh fruit, cereal late at night, homegrown garden tomatoes, and turkey alvacado sandwiches. Dancing in the kitchen, singing out loud in the car, wrestling around with my children, playing charades, watching any performance whether art or sport my children are involved with, cuddling with Mark, and reading a good book, soaking in a hot bath are my favorite things to do. It's my joy to be in a partnership with Mark in parenting so many wonderful children and in walking through life together as his wife. It is my passion to advocate for women in the pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, and childrearing stages of life. It is also a joy to ally myself with the Shaklee Corporation in promoting optimal health for persons and our planet. Bottom line is: I'm blessed! I'm happy!

Today is Miss Ashlynn's first day of school EVER...she's a big Kinderkid now. She was so excited to start school and fire me; no more mornings with Mommy!

She has a wonderful teacher, as does all the others: Hillcrest simply doesn't have negative teachers--it's the cream of the crop for them!

Doesn't she look cute!?

We had a bit of a difficult start to our morning though, because yesterday she just thought it be a REALLY good idea if she used her scissors (you guessed it) to cut some of her hair (and YES, again) right in FRONT! So I used scissors to soften the blunt carving in her mane, then with added and sudden disappearing act of ALL usable hair accessories we had to fight against the evil bad-hair-day powers at work; it was difficult, somewhat painful, but we made it through with minimal casualties and a pretty cute looking little girl---well, the cute little girl part was never in question.

It was sad for this Mama, it was like taking the last walk down a long, dark hallway to an execution or something...For ME...my little partner was moving on to bigger better things and I'm not left to be the big grown up all by myself...Until Mykayela starts to take over, that is.

Oh these milestones come so quickly and they're so bitter sweet. I'm excited to hear all about her day at school today!
