We LOVE music here in the Best household. Afterall, I did marry Dale, a music enthusiast! Caedmon sleeps to music every night and every nap, and has since he was just a few days old. He will see a radio or even a radio station logo and start dancing asking to turn on the music. When he wants to hear music he will point at a radio and start dancing, [ Read More ]
Dave Ramsey has some great Cheap Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day…and I kinda liked a few of them…and I’m the girl! Here’s what he had to say… Dinner and a Movie … The Remix Okay, we know, dinner and a movie is so cliché. But what about a candlelit home-cooked meal and a romantic rental movie? You don’t have to buy filet mignon and lobster. You can get great deals [ Read More ]
…are amazing. I LOVE this picture of my family. I love how Caedmon is looking right into the camera and Dale’s eyes are closed as if he’s contemplating how much he loves that little boy laying on his chest. I love that it is a candid shot and not planned at all. It captures my boys in a moment that I won’t forget. Beneath the mountains and open sky on [ Read More ]

The story on this video about the homeless man is beautiful. (I stole this from my hubs, who stole it from somewhere else…it’s going viral. Ha!)
I love things that make me smile. What makes me smile? Dale and Caedmon, of coursewatching people love othersballoon animalsflowers6 foot subsfree drinks… (HT to

2010 census launches in remote Alaskan village…Counters with dog sleds race against spring mud to complete tally. The headline caught my eye on msnbc.com this morning. Kinda interesting…I’m looking forward to see how this Census happens, since I was 15 for the last one and didn’t care. Noorvik means “a place that is moved to” in Inupiaq. The village was established by Kowagmuit Inupiat fishermen and hunters from Deering in [ Read More ]
This morning at church I got to witness the love a parent has for a baby that only exists in their heart until the moment that Mom and Dad have the privilege of holding their son in their arms for the first time. 12 days ago a massively devastating earthquake hit the country of Haiti and destroyed the entire city of Port-Au-Prince, leaving millions homeless, orphaned, devastated and scared.
