I Remember....

I remember...
I remember my 2 month old husband kissing me goodbye on his way to work..
I remember hearing the ocean and feeling my very swollen feet and realizing that I was waking up at the Island after coordinating one of my very first weddings.
I remember making a cup of tea (this was before I became a coffee drinker) to take off the chill on an early September morning.
I remember looking out to the water, the hay fields and a grand white tent that held a couple hundred people only hours before.
I remember turning on the t.v. and watching the news.
I remember watching a plane fly into MY Twin Towers.
I remember feeling horrified, shocked and scared that this was the end of the world.
I remember thinking how was it possible that I was at the most serene place in the world while only a mere year ago I would have been walking those NYC streets as a New Yorker.
I remember that MY old home was just a few blocks from the destruction.
I remember wanting to call my NYC friends and family desperately.
I remember feeling lucky.
I remember watching it alone and feeling helpless.
I remember watching MY city come together through tradgedy.
I remember feeling proud.
I remember feeling proud to be an American for the first time in my life.
I remember...

Holiday Gift Guide Day 9 Boys by Lucinda Wesson & The Monster


You honestly didn't think that I could get away without doing ANY work?? Picking my category was a no brainer as I am outnumbered 4 to 1 in my house. Yup that's right..I live in a boys world. Ok I know..2 have tails but you would be surprised how that really doesn't matter. They all love to fling them themselves about, eat like there is no tomorrow. plan...well there never is one, it's all by the seat of their pants. But if they do plan it is certainly a harried process.."Mom..Mom..where are my markers..quick...quick...I need to make the map so the pirates can't find the treasure..HURRY!!"...They love ANYTHING that allows them to go fast and furious. Narry a day goes by without them somehow getting hurt.

Yet, I can tell you if you are a Mom to one, you are very very lucky because they love you truly, deeply, madly.

With that being said I teamed up with the Monster to give you all a complete shopping experience centered (of course) around Boys.

We did 3 boards and I couldn't help myself to start off with a NYC inspired one..It harkens back to my days living in the city. Although we couldn't make it in this time, next year the Monster and I will head in..Just the 2 of us....

So prop those feet up, get comfy, as you we are taking you on an adventure...to find what makes the elusive boy happy...
