Pool Party!

This weekend we celebrated Bella's fourth birthday with a big bash pool party.  It was a really sweet event full of love and fun.  My goal this year was to go much simpler than I have in years past.  We served good old fashioned pool party food- hamburgers, hot dogs, coleslaw, pasta salad, chips and dip, and fruit.  Although I did do some creative things, it was nothing like last years princess party madness. As usual we had a good sixty people in attendance.  I know that sounds crazy, but since our family alone is close to forty, it really isn't many more than "normal" holidays and such. The most important thing is that Bella had fun.  It was the first year that we invited friends of hers from school so that was pretty special. The kids all loved swimming, and went to town with the piñata.  My heart is full for my sweet girl.  Her actual birthday is this week so I will write more about her then.

Pulling back a little...

I just decided to take a facebook hiatus.  I actually shut off my account.  I'm finding the world a tad overwhelming, and staying in contact with people is adding to my stress instead of helping ease it.  I'm planning on a month long hiatus.  I will decide if I want to go back after that time.  I will still post here as often as I am inspired and able but don't be surprised if there is a lot of radio silence again.


Until we meet again...
