SNAPSHOT OF MY LIFE

Molly was soooooo excited to see Minnie or mickey!
As we waited our turn she started doing the “I gotta potty” shuffle.
Finally- our turn! We walked on stage and Minnie held out her hand. Molly turned to me- panic in her eyes. “mommy! I have to potty!”
We took the picture and booked it off stage to the bathroom. I’m pretty sure there’s a little wet spot on my shirt. :-/

OUR FIRST MUCHNESS TEAM!!! AMBER & COURTNEY TAKE THE CHALLENGE!!

Amber is new friend and TTTS Mom that sadly lost both of her boys. She does a pretty good job describing herself and her step-daughter Courtney in her introduction. I have “known” Amber since she her loss and I am thrilled that she has agreed to take the challenge… She is clearly a woman with A Lot of Muchness inside of her… I am so excited to see how this journey puts her back in touch with it…

Let’s meet Amber & Courtney!

Amber writes: Courtney is my step daughter (well will be August 6th) she lives with us full time. Last summer I lost my twin baby boys to TTTS. Courtneys little brothers. Since then we have just started to live the same day over and over and over again. I had forgotten how to laugh, how to have fun. My dreams and hopes were shattered, I began living life as though I was waiting for it to be over. I used to wake up in the morning and think what am I going to do today, but since the loss the question became, what do I have to do today? My muchness was gone. Then the past few days I thought I would give this a try. Wasn’t sure if 30 days was going to work for me or not. Wasnt sure what Muchness was. Seemed like more of a hassle then anything. But then after the first day, I realized KIDS are my muchness, and I still have one. The smile on her face. the hugs and kisses before bed, the laughter, everything. I may have lost my boys but Courtney and I are very much alive. So for her and  for me  we are going to get our Muchness back. Maybe she never lost hers but I’m going to make sure she never does! Together we can and WILL do this. So from today on we are going to do something together. Something that says MUCHNESS to both of us!

Here’s an awesome pic of Amber and Courtney getting IN TOUCH WITH THE MUCH!!! (And colored sprinkles…. 🙂 )

SNAPSHOT OF MY LIFE

This past weekend we had family portraits. This upcoming weekend we go back to see them. Its gonna cost us a fortune to get any of those photos into our hands. When the photographer left the room for a minute Elie snapped this pic with his phone. Based on the price list, this may be the only pic we ever get of that day….

IN TOUCH WITH THE MUCH- Mmmmmm cake.

This is my cousin L’via with my niece. One is related to me through my dad and the other through my husband. They are not related to each other at all. Yet somehow the two of them joined forces to create this incredible cake that is overloaded with Tons of Muchness.

That cake is awe-some.

Seriously.

L’via makes tons of awesome cakes. She is to cakes what I am to glitter. She also makes cakes with glitter. That’s hot.

MONDAY’S MUCHNESS MOMENT!!!

Capturing a moment of Muchness seems to do a lot more to heal the spirit than I ever knew possible. Even more, sharing it with others just creates an air of Muchness around you, affecting everything and everyone you encounter throughout the day. In the spirit of that, I have decided to create  MONDAY’S MUCHNESS MOMENT, this upcoming monday, on the Finding My Muchness Facebook Page.

Just go, ‘Like’ the page, and from 12am to 12pm, on Monday, June 6th, do your small part to SHARE THE MUCHNESS!!! Upload a pic, or pics, that make you feel your muchiest. They can be something your wearing, something your kid did, something in your garden…. WHATEVER speaks to your heart and makes you smile.

The person who posts the 100th picture is also gonna get a muchy Thank You gift from me. Because I really want My FB page, come Monday, to be a MECCA FOR MUCHNESS!!!

Thanks for your help!!!!!
