I'm not a perfect person and I often put my foot in my mouth! I have been asked several times why I am doing a BIRTH PARENT RETREAT when I'm not a birth parent... So, hopefully, you can understand WHY after you read this post! When I was teenager,  I woke up one morning in a world of PAIN! I thought my insides were dying and I went to the ER. My mom held my hand and they did an ultrasound and found out I had a ruptured ovarian cyst that was causing the pain. Often times, women have these but they don't really   feel them as dramatically or they are smaller when they rupture. Other times, women just think its the pain associated with aunt flo!

I made a caramel apple pie ( another first for me) and We had a bunch of friends come over, we fed them... Then we went caroling with them. We had about 18 or so people and kids and we delivered cookies, pointsettas and cocoa to about 9 families . It was so wonderful ! The girls now assist in getting messy as often as possible . Today they played with fondant as we are getting ready for Brielle's B-day cake in a few days! Brielle LOVES to pretend she is a Chef and Aria just likes to get into anything that Brielle is doing! They loved decorating the cookies too but, we let them keep their own since they went overkill on the pounds of frosting and candies they put on them! I love these memo...
