5 people I would love to meet

If you could meet any 5 people in the world, who would they be?

Here is a countdown of my picks:

Number five:

Paris Hilton

Can you imagine growing up the way she did? I can't. It would be so weird having everyone do everything for you and treating you like Royalty. I do think however, Miss Hilton would be much deeper and smarter than people make her out to be, plus she is funny, she'd be a good pal.

Number 4:

Barack Obama

What a cool experience it would be to meet the President! This one in particular would be special because he is the son of an immigrant who turned his life around and went to Harvard at a not so young age. Very inspiring. Anything is possible in this country, my son could be President. I love America, so yes, would be thrilled to meet him. Plus, it doesn't hurt he is the most handsome since Kennedy!

Number three:

Martha Stewart

Who doesn't like Martha right? I would just love to hang out with her. She knows all about hospitality and manners, oh I want to be like her!

Number two:

The Duggar Family- Michelle Duggar in particular

I just think this family is sooooo lovely! The way that they shine! They are beautiful and it's because they love the Lord. I would love to soak up all of Michelle Duggar's wisdom, what a sweet spirit and great mother. I want to be like her also! A mixture of her and Martha would be a good combo I reckon.

Number one:

Dolly Parton

 OH MYLANTA I LOVE HER!!!! I think she is the greatest thing since sliced bread. She is so beautiful and talented. She IS everything I love about America. Yes this is my one person I HAVE to meet!

So there you have it folks, who would yours be?

Making Goat Cheese= Making Love

Recently I was talking to a friend about keeping my sanity...if you are a mother, you know exactly what I am talking about. Sometimes you will go a half of a week wearing sweats with sweet potato stains, and no adult interaction other than the Duggars on TLC if you are lucky enough. Your husband gets home and you start talking in baby voice and trying to cut his chicken breast in to tiny pieces. It happens, and I know I am not alone in this! My friend who lucky for me is also a family psychologist and mother said that one thing that helped her marriage was going out two days a week and learning something new. So on I went on an adventure to Providence Hill Farm in Kansas to learn how to make goat cheese. I have to say, my friend was right, not only did I meet a great group of very real ladies but I de-stressed quite a bit. I am making a commitment to myself to do this more often, no matter how hard it might be to leave hubby and baby or to let my pride down and ask someone to babysit. I want to encourage you ladies to go out and learn something new, don't be afraid to admit to yourself how hard our job is. TAKE CARE of yourselves, BE GOOD to yourselves, because if you don't, there is no way you can love on anyone else!

Now for the fun part, some pictures for your enjoyment...
