In case you need a grin today – Here’s Monkey’s little Hip Hop performance from his school’s Holiday Extravaganza this past weekend.
(He’s the one in blue and grey – my husband was the cameraman)
Peace Out, Yo!
Hip Hoppin’ Monkey
Magical Weekend
Y’all know that this past weekend Nathan and I were invited to go to the surprisingly historical city of Galveston for a weekend of fun, food, Magic and Music.
I took 800 + pictures.
Made new friends, reconnected with a couple of old ones, hugged an old one for the first time and spent the first weekend sans kids with my husband since having kids.
There was a plethora of ridiculously awesome food
There was a lot- a lot- a LOT of laughter
There was a Haunted Building
There was a gorgeous new Carnival Cruise Ship
And
There was this guy, you might have heard of him
He is the lead singer of a little band called Maroon 5.
We had fantastic standing room only seats on Pier 21 for a very special concert put on by Maroon 5 to celebrate the launch of the Carnival Magic.
This clip of video is from my iPhone, there were some SUPER excited SUPER fans all around us, so please excuse the fact that it isn’t terribly stable 
There is so much more to share, but my internet is being obnoxious and I have 927 things to do to prepare for Princess’ 8th birthday on Friday and her party Saturday. {hold me}
ftc stuff: Our travel, food and accomodations were provided by Carnival and The City of Galveston Tourism. I am not required to, nor was I asked to write about this in exchange for the trip. Everything I share with y’all, I share because it excited, intrigued, interested or appealed to me.
Pink Glove Dance, Fireworks and Saving The Boobies

I’m a bit passionate about Cancer Research.
I believe that there is a cure somewhere and that Saving Second Base is pretty damn important.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
There’s this wonderful thing called;
“The Pink Glove Dance”
It’s a competition to raise awareness, have fun and save lives. I don’t think there’s any way there could be any losers this time.
My local hospital system – Christus Spohn – has created a video for the competition and I’m asking y’all to watch it and vote for them.
Why vote for them?
Here’s why.
The top three winners will receive donations in their name to a breast cancer charity of their choice, such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The charity is subject to Medline’s review to ensure it falls within our compliance guidelines. The amounts of the donations are $10,000 for 1st place, $5,000 for 2nd place and $2,000 for 3rd place.
Christus Spohn has an amazing program called First Friday
The mission of First Friday is:
To honor those who have had breast cancer.
To increase awareness of the importance of early detection.
To provide free mammograms for women in need.
To save lives.
You can watch their video below – trust me, you’ll be smiling, I’ve watched it several times and I can’t help but smile every single time.
You can vote for them by clicking on this link to the Pink Glove Dance Competition Page.
*I have absolutely no affiliation with the program or the hospital system, however… I have entirely too much damn association with Cancer. #cancersucks
