Wow.....................finally I am BACK! It feels like, at times, that I lead so many different lives! Mom to three, wife to Dan, duaghter, sister, aunt, associate, blogger (not enough), etc., etc., etc.....
Life is hectic but good at this end!
Look what is coming to Target this holiday season:
WOW! Don't you love it? Loads of fun, designer stuff that will be great for gifts! This would be adorable sitting at the bottom of my outdoor steps! And good for my body to boot!
Have a wonderful weekend!

OMG!
This has me dreaming of the days we would go to a State Park, here in Kentucky, EVERY SINGLE weekend during the summer! That was my childhood. What great memories. Now if I can find some vintage pics from those days, I will definitely post! In the meantime have a wonderful weekend and nice Mother's Day!
I pinned this from a favorite blog - dandee-designs. I LOVE her blog. You know how you meet someone and it feels like you have known them your whole life................this is how it feels with Danyelle. I obviously have never met her in my life - but I feel like we are friends! HA! That is what you gotta' love about blogs! NICE TO MEET YOU DANYELLE!

Weather; favorite kitchen
This Louisville weather has made me SO happy! Spring time makes me want to spruce things up in and around the house!
In the meantime, while I am at work, I am daydreaming about this kitchen I saw on a favorite blog: shannonberrey.com. She has beautifully designed rooms of her own and other's that she had done. Check it out!
One more thing that has been going through my mind! With having 2 (almost) adult sons and one (somewhat) little one at home, I often wonder if I have told them "everything". Have I taught them enough and what is "enough"? Enough to know what is right and what is wrong, enough to know that life is a wonderful gift from God and that they/we must embrace this blessing every-single-day!?!? Do they know how often I think about them and want them to live the best life possible to have the most fun and love in life? Sooooo from now on once a week or ever so oten, I will post a saying that I think the boys should/want to read! And what do you know...... the first one by a sports legend:

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Here we go again..............
Yipee..........here we go again! I promise to write more often, but for now here we go......... Last week my sisters and I decided to have a "Craft Night" just like the ones I have seen taking place all over blogland and it was SO much fun! My sis, Vicki, is the middle child and very good at organizing anything and everything so she decided to have it at her house and proceeded to pick out a good "craft" for us to do. She found a "jute wrapped monogram wreath on a blog she frequents: http://www.twotwenty-one.com/. Easy enough, right? I did get to my sis' late, but it still is no excuse for my letter "M" to be sadly sitting on my coffee table at home, three fourths the way done! I am like the Crafting Quenn in my family and EVERYONE got their letter done except me! I think I am too picky and to much of a perfectionist ............... I know you (my sisters) ALL agree! Now if I can just get this thing done this evening, I will post the picture asap! In the meantime, see the cute one of Chelsea's. (p.s. go to Chelsea's blog and you will find GREAT instructions for this easy "do".)

First things first!
WELCOME!! Day one of my blog, effiejaneeveryday!!!! I am SO excited to finally get this darn thing going. I have been watching/reading so many others' blogs and I will admit it - always being a follower, I knew I would have to join the crowd! I plan to write about having fun while I am raising 3 boys and working full time! Yikes - that could be why I have put this off - finding the time! No more having excuses - I am on my way!
I named my blog after my Great Grandmother-in-law, Effie Jane. If she could survive through raising all those McMillan boys and stay ever so sweet, then she is one gal that I will always admire! But with this blog, I am honoring my own Grandmother, Libby (short for Elizabeth) by including lots of her wisdom and love that she showered on my Mom and her great big family! More on that over time!
I had one brother but he was definitely outnumbered by us 4 girls! My Mom made us the center of her world and I cannot imagine my childhood any other way! When I look back I realize I was one of those lucky girls - we did not have tons of money but I never knew - My Mom and Dad worked hard to make sure we had food, comfort, a good Christian education and LOTS of love. What more can anyone ask for?
With my blog I plan to write about family, design, party palnning, holidays, do-it-yourself stuff and of course, everyday events! So sit a spell and join the party!
