What a month...

Wow, it's been a busy one!  Several parties going on, a big Willow House Open House this Saturday, one month of school down, and lots more coming up! 

Check out the new Real Simple magazine!!!!  The Willow House  is inside - very exciting!!

Look on p. 83!

Hubby's workload is getting heavier, since deer season is around the corner, I am prepared to spend a lot of time alone! LOL! 
Morgan and I have pretty much kept up our walking/running/workout routine.  Both of the kids have had some sinus issues this week, but both are back in school.  Caleb made the basketball team (YAY!) so we will have plenty of games to go to.  Morgan is applying for the local Leadership Tomorrow program - if she gets in that will keep her busy, along with managing the basketball team and golf.  It looks to be a busy fall!

Saturday's Willow House open house will be combined with my sister's new Pampered Chef business debut - I am very excited for her!  She loves to cook, is very creative, and should do quite well with her new business.

The Gonzalez family is doing well in Georgia, and hopefully will be here for Thanksgiving. 

See ya at the Open House!

First day of school...

some would say summer is over, but not me!  Here in Texas, I know I can still use the pool for two more months!!!!
We got the kids off to school just fine...Morgan is a JUNIOR and Caleb is a 7th grader!  Hard to believe - I remember when I took them to the first day of Kindergarten and cried all the way home.  Of course, I took NO pictures this morning; I just do not have it together this year.  Maybe I thought if I stayed in denial it wouldn't happen?!? 
So, back to the routine.  It won't be long before we are going to Jr. High basketball games and watching track meets, and I am ready for that!!!
I headed to Houston yesterday for the Willow House meeting - I was so excited about meeting our CEO!  But when I hit the southside, the freeway was completely closed down!!!!! I think it was for construction, but I have never seen the entire freeway closed during the day for anything!  Needless to say, I did not make it around to the meeting.  I guess I could have gone, but I thought an hour late was just too much.  I will get some new info from the company and pass it along, but I can tell you this...

The new Willow House business model is exciting!!!  It will really open up our earning potential, and the products are beautiful and high quality!  I am excited about what is coming with this company!!!

Have a great day...we will see how this first day of school ends...
