time moves on…

 

I can’t believe its been 7 months since my last post.  I guess you could say I just needed some time for me and all that I say yes to on a regular basis.   My Fall started excitedly with my endeavor into the Arbonne world.  That has been an amazing journey in and of itself.  Christmas came with a great trip to Georgia to see the Deacon and Pops.  In came 2014 with a “flurry” of fun and before we knew it  Spring Break was here.  I can’t believe that our school year ended Friday.  I am now the proud Mama of a Kindergartener and a 5th Grader.  Wow when did that happen? 

Cameron and Junior Mint are growing up so fast.  Cameron has embraced the game of golf and Henry is following in suit.  Mr. Miller is very excited.  I don’t play golf but am enjoying watching the 3 men in my life share in this pursuit.  We will be taking Private Lessons this summer, if you live in KC click on the private lessons link and give them a call.  Great people!  Cameron will be attending a weeklong Golf Camp in June.  We will have our last Webelos Camp at Camp Naish in July for Cam and Mr. Miller.  I can’t believe he will cross over into Boy Scouts this Fall.

As for Junior Mint, well…. he still follows big brother everywhere.  He loves to swing and garden.  He helped me harvest our first items out of the the Green Acres Garden.  I tripled the size of the garden this year.  I will be sharing more as the time moves on.  He LOVES to be read to and going to the library. I am trying to contain my excitement over this prospect right now.

Mr. Miller still works for the Big Green Tractor Company and will be celebrating 13 years this summer.  Wow!

As for Green Acres in the City….I am wanting to change things up a bit.  Would love suggestions from you, my readers.  I am looking for help in a new blog design as well.  I love the barter system.  BTW I am holding a contest over at my FB Page for Arbonne.  If you like my page you will be entered into to winning a free gift!

Can’t wait to see where time will take us, Green Acres in the City and how we will grow.  For now blessings and we will talk more this week!

We have a 2nd winner of the bib!  Stacy is my winner!  Congrats Stacy and I know with the new little one on the way this will be a welcome addition to your stash.  Email me your address and I will get this out to you!

This has been a full week with blogoversaries and the last week of school for Cameron.  I can’t believe we are going to 1st grade next year.  I feel like we just had the first day of school.  My how he has grown and developed.  Thank you Mrs. Tanner for everything that you have done for Cameron, you truly are a gift from God and we will always hold you close in our hearts!

As I said it has been a busy week and on Tuesday the Kindergarten put on their Spring Program.  Here is a video of one of the numbers.  These kids wrote the lyrics to their songs with the help of Mrs. Parisi.  She is amazing too, I have never seen kids programs so well put together!  Watch and enjoy, let’s just say that I am not sure if any of them will be in a Beyonce’  video soon, but they had a good time doing this number!

The kids “striking a pose” at the end for their “photo opps”.

We will be having 1 more giveaway this week on Friday Morning.  I am very excited about it.  I have a piece of jewelry from my favorite jewelry maker, she also happens to be my very talented sister Erika.  Stay tuned for more information!

fingers strikes again and we have a winner!

“Fingers” struck again!  I thought it was awful quiet in the kitchen and when I came around the corner this is what I found,

We fed the dog.

We decided to fix our own breakfast, at least it was graham crackers and not chocolate chip cookies.

green acres blogoversary ~ giveaway #1

Well we made it! 1 year ago today I took that dare from my husband and Green Acres in the City was born! We have come a long way with many changes to the format. I have met many friends, ruffled a few feathers, shed a few tears but most importantly have learned so much about myself. So “Thank You” to all of my readers and followers.

In true “Maeghan Form” as Mr. Miller would say we are having a “Blogoversary Week Celebration” here. I am going to host a different giveaway each day. These are my first giveaways and I say lets just do one each day!

Giveaway #1 : a set of reusable produce bags!

Ways to enter:

1. Leave a comment on the comment section here on the blog.

2. Earn additional entries by blogging about the giveaway, post on FB and by becoming a follower.

Entries will be open until 8 am CST, Tuesday May 25. I will draw a random name out of hat!

Good Luck!
