Did you know that Santa even delivers Krispy Kreme's!

NOT THE NAUGHTY LIST FOR ME

This was my very first attempt on a burp cloth! This was my attempt #2!
I am thrilled that Santa got me a monogram machine. After a few mistrials, the result is amazing! I absolutely love my new addiction. Tomorrow I will add special touches to the dresses I have made for Skylar...more pictures to come! {thanks Ike Santa!}

CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

I went to put Skylar down for a nap and left Noah alone in the living room. I could hear things being moved around, but this is what i returned too.
He was watching a Charlie Brown Christmas.

DO YOU SEE A RESEMBLANCE????

ALL ABOUT ME!

A New Orleans girl at heart, I ventured off to Southern Mississippi to pursue my undergrad. Through long and bumpy roads, God blessed me with my incredible husband, Ike. He is a Biloxi boy that is an amazing Marine who truly has stolen my heart. Ike and I moved back to New Orleans from Nashville the February before Katrina. God surely held us in the palm of His hands during our survival of losing our home, rebuilding my hotel, living with Grandma Josie P. With delight we were blessed with our first son, Noah Blaise Manuel on June 22, 2006. Outstanding times of motherhood, career, and life; God has again blessed our family to make 4 is a blessing: Skylar MacKenzie Joan arrived into our lives on October 23, 2009!
