A new prince or princess?

I figured it is about time I announced to all of our lovely readers and friends that the Humphries family will be welcoming a new addition in March of 2013. The little prince and the princesses in our family are all very excited and each have their personal votes for what the gender of the baby is.

This Queen Mommy feels terribly sick and hopes to soon be able to return in a much larger capacity to her blogging friends. Oh Pinterest how I miss thee, but the food pictures that are usually so delectable aren't quite working out for me right now.

Thank you to all of you for your incredible support the last several months as Nicki and I have gotten the book off the ground and launched our blog. Oh and before I forget, which is quite frequently these days, we have two wonderful events coming up in a couple of weeks in the Tucson area.

Princess Pillow Reminders

I thought this was just too funny and wanted to share it with all of you.

Last night as I wearily dragged myself into bed I was greeted by this precisely placed event announcement on my pillow. I guess my little Princesses think attending would be a good idea.

Have you ever found something your children precisely placed on your pillow ?

Growing Up

This week I sent my school aged children off for a new school year. Luckily I have my little preschooler Rebekah at home with me for one more year.

I feel as anxious as they do at the start of a new school year. They are so excited and nervous. I know school will be fun for them with new people and fun experiences, but  I also know how mean kids can be to each-other and have had my heart sink as I hear the stories of what they have experienced.

I learned long ago that motherhood means wearing your heart outside of your body.

I saw this poem on a friend's blog and it sums up exactly how I feel every year when I send them off to school.
