Winter? What Winter?

Winter? What Winter?

Braces!!! Already?


So, I know my child is growing up, but braces!!!Yikes, I wasn't ready for that. I must say that as Abby's permanent teeth were coming in,I did notice they were crowded, but the overbite...didn't see that one coming. Oh, and guess who she gets it from? Who knew that MY teeth taking their time to grow out would also be her problem? Catching this early and helping her teeth find their place will only make things better in the long run! I hope!!
She of course seems to be taking it in stride. They were a little sore this afternoon and we popped a band, but she is a trooper and is ready to tackle this new adventure with excitement. Which if you know Abby, means a lot of talking!!!
I will keep you updated!! Send happy thoughts her way for a speedy and painless transition as a metal mouth!!!

blogging for Forsyth Woman Magazine


While skiing down the mountain with my friend Kelly, she told me they had a open spot on their web page for a blog. "Really." I said. "Interesting." She said I could write about deals I had found, things I liked, things that bothered me or basically anything at all. So I said, "Sure, I will write a blog!" I thought, how hard can it be, once a week and anything I want? Well, hard is not really the word I would use. Nerve-wracking is more like it. The thought of lots of people reading my thoughts, started to make me nervous. I mean, what if people thought what I wrote was stupid? Or dumb. or worse yet...boring???
So Sunday night, after the heart-breaking loss to Canada, and knowing that the closing ceremonies were upon us, I opted to write about the Olympics. As you know, I love sports, and in this family, we love the Olympics as well.

You can go to facebook and become a fan of Forsyth Family and Forsyth Woman magazine. or go to their website and check out my blog as well as others> If you can write a commen. It will make me feel better, or at least give the illusion that someone actually read it.

Thanks to my friend Kelly, who gave me the chance to be a celebrity writer for a little while!!!
