Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome Awareness Day
Today, I'm blogging for a cause that is not very well known, but everyone should be aware of. It's called Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS). APS is an autoimmune disorder in which the body recognizes certain normal components of blood and/or cell membranes as foreign substances and produces antibodies against them. A wonderful woman I know named Ginger is affected and it breaks my heart to hear when she is unable to be her normal self when she gets sick. Click on the image below to read more about it.

I've been LACKING on updating my blog...
There are many reasons that keep me from updating my blog as often as I'd like. To name a few:
-We moved at the end of February and are still trying to get settled in. It's tough getting box after box out of storage. I have stuff I forgot I owned. I guess that's what happens when your belonging are in storage for almost a year!
-I work a full time job.
-I can't stand a dirty house or laundry waiting to be done.
-Enjoying the sunshine.
-Potty training Gabe. I must elaborate on this one. I am so impressed with how well Gabe has done potty training. We started on Friday April 2nd and as of 4:30pm on April 5th he has got the peeing part down like a champ. We're still working on the finer details such as pooping and pulling up his pants when he is done. Right now he hops off the potty the second he is done and practically runs out of his underwear. He is so excited that he doesn't stop to pull up his pants first!
Without any further ado -- I'm going to post away! I'll check my folders and make sure I got them all and post the others at a later date.
"Everyday" was created using Buckaroo Blues by Teri's Thing-O-My-Gigs available at Gingerscraps
"Toe Jam", "5 Things to Love About Warm Weather", and "This One's For Me" were created using the Port Au Prince Charity kit
