Happy Valentine's Day!

Highlights of my day:

 • Thomas waking up and peeking through his headboard to his sister's bed just to say, "Happy Valentine's Day, sister."

• Anne Marie running to the car so she could get me the Valentine's present she has been hiding behind her carseat. It was an old bracelet I gave her last week- she immediately hid it and told me she knew what she was giving me for Valentine's Day. SO cute!

 • Matt sneaking a card into the laptop so I would find it when I got to work, even though we said we weren't going to do anything today. One of the best Valentine's Days ever.

Working Mommy Wednesday

This week, for Working Mommy Wednesday, Rachel asked:  Does your job take advantage of your natural talents and abilities?

The wonderful thing about the job I have now is that it can use just about any talent I want to. I have been blessed with a boss who lets you pick your opportunities. My main job is as an editor. I edit press releases and I am an editor, but I can also write in my publications. I decided I wanted to increase my skills in social media — he sent me to a one-day conference and gave me the opportunity to run our social media plans.  I had an interest in presentations — now I put together presentations. My job, and I think most jobs, are what you make of them. It helps to have a supportive environment, but my goal is always to take my job description and find a way I can make it fit for me. I have to work, but isn't it more fun to work if you are doing something you enjoy?

Happy 5th!

In honor of Anne Marie's fifth birthday ( a little late), I'm not going to talk about all the many things I love about her. Instead, I'm going to focus on the funniest one. This girl knows how to pose. So I'm going to take you through a tour of some of this girl's best poses. Some might fool you- you might think I simply got her in a great moment. But in every one, she is definitely aware of the camera and making the best use of it she can.

From the start...
