Introducing "The Ivy Foundation"

I am so excited to introduce "The Ivy Foundation." The purpose of this organization is to empower and build confidence in ladies of all ages. Please visit www.theivyfoundation.org to learn about our programs.

The Golden Years

So, I do not fear getting old. But, I do fear my body and mind falling apart. Anyone else afraid of that? I wouldn't even mind living in a nursing home, as long as I still had the ability to play bingo and eat my jello by myself. This fear has just recently surfaced and it's actually been a positive thing... I now have a renewed sense of gratitude for the healthy body and sharp mind I have right now! I am very determined to enjoy every day and cherish each moment with my babies before I blink and they're in college... I don't want to miss ANYTHING!

Hugs

Can you tell I'm crazy about my kids? I love photography (visit www.cliophotography.com to see some of my work) and I love my kids- the perfect combination! They are very good little models- especially Janessa (as you can imagine.) But, it just so happens that she adores her brother so, she doesn't mind posing like this...

Janessa & Jackson's first airplane ride!

Nessa was so excited to fly for the first time! We went downt to New Mexico to visit my mom. They were angels during the hour and a half flight. I couldn't ever ask for better kids. I am so madly in love with them. Life is good!

Survey Question...
Do you think there is a need out there for Emergency Preparedness information for kids? I think kids today don't have a clue about what to do in an emergency. Thoughts?

Shameless Self Advertising...
Check out my singing website at www.jessieclarkfunkmusic.com to hear music clips and see upcoming concerts and events. One that I am most excited about is The Valentine Variety Show at the Rose Wagner Theater downtown SLC February 5th & 6th. Featuring Daniel Beck and myself. Tickets on sale at arttix.org.
It's the perfect date for Valentines!

This is my favorite picture of my hubby and me. He is a good man who makes me laugh and works so hard to provide a great living for us. Ahhhh, I'm making myself all mushy... I think I'll go kiss him right now!

How do I do this?

So, I want this blog to look "cute" like some other blogs I've seen- how do I find ways to add to the look of it? How do I add pictures? How do I get feedback and advice from readers? Man, I have a lot to learn...
