I grew up in Upper Michigan. Yep...I am a YOOPER...and always will be! My parents owned a restaurant, Konteka, for 30 years. It had a dining room, bar, bowling alley, and motel. I could go on and on about this experience in my life but all I will say is...WHY WAS I NOT IN THE KITCHEN MORE LEARNING HOW TO COOK!

| Families would drive hours to come and eat at our place to watch the bears. Now I bring Cayden there! |
Family....We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!

I am ready for a change...I am thinking about going "SHORT" for the new school year. Maybe a choppy funky bob style! It is hard to cut it...but it grows back...right!?!
Things I LOVE...

| I wish I had the time to have a ladies "I Love the 80's" Movie night each month. Make time...right!!! |

 |
| I JUST LOVE ELLEN! Everyone should make time to dance! |
Losing weight...something I have struggled with for about 8 years now...yes I said 8 years. Enough is enough. This is my year!
Bonnie's Angels....I heard a saying recently that has just stuck with me and I am not sure why...Gods way of helping you heal. He helps your mind forget so your heart doesn't keep breaking. Last summer 11 wonderful ladies came with me to Vegas to remember my mom, Bonnie. We all wore shirts and hats that said, Bonnie's Angels. It was a time I will always remember! I also got to go to the SDE Kindergarten Conference while I was there.
Speaking of SDE Kindergarten Conferences...
I really enjoyed reading the posts and seeing the pictures of this years SDE conference in Vegas. I wish I could have been there! If you are still reading this post....I have some exciting news to share with you. I will be presenting at the SDE Kindergarten Conference in Indy!
 |
| Yes...that is me..the one on the top right. I still can't beleive it! |
If you know me you know that I have a passion for presenting. Why? I love that I have the ability to share ideas, inspire others, opportunity to learn more, and most of all it is fun!
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and thanks for reading! Amber
Amber,
ReplyDeleteI read this post and remember when I had the fabulous opportunity to meet you and Luann. I loved both of you in a matter of seconds. I wish you could have been there this year but I am hoping you come to Vegas next summer. I would love to come to your presentation!

Fran
Fran...maybe we will be presenting together next summer in Vegas! Wouldn't it be cool if ALL bloggers could meet in one building for 3 days of learning from eachother!?!

I love to change up the hairstyles too!! And, yes, it's just hair and will grow back! It just might take a little longer than you initially thought :)

Nothing better than an 80's movie! We have movie night on the rocks during the summer and they usually throw in a few fantastic 80's classics! I love the cakes you make. I just posted in my "Tell Me More" that growing up, I NEVER had cake from the store. My mom made every single one!
