Keep Calm and Carry On

During WW2, 1939, the British Government was trying to keep people happy in the British public in the event of an invasion, So they created the "Keep Calm And Carry On" poster. The poster was not popular till it was re-exposed in 2000. 61 years later it has appeared everywhere, ranging from political messages to cute slogans. The term has not been trademarked, mainly because the words are too widely used for one person to own exclusive rights.

Is it a great motivational poster? Of course, Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.

Jordan's last Elementary class party was yesterday. GiGi and I went and we're reminded why we love Jordan so much. He's just so dang cute!! After the partay the 3 of us did some Thrift Store shopping. We made fun of tacky clothes and were amazed at the over-pricing of tacky Thrift Store items! I loved spending Valentines 2012 with Mother and Jordan! They are my life! I love them so much when we got home I made them "Lovers Pasta" for Valentines Dinner.

That's love, true love baby.

I finally got to Skype with Moe yesterday after what felt like forever since I seen her beautiful self. I am pretty sure I'm the main influence why she called in late yesterday so she could attend Abby's 1st School Party. Some moments in life are just too sweet to pass up!

That's love, true love baby.

"Down Time" on the patio is always a success! Koozie in my hand and C.C. cool wind in my hair. Now if only my toes and a#s were in the sand. 

That's love, true love baby.
