Goose Creek Enterprises


I was introduced to Goose Creek Enterprises by The Dirty Shirt Blog. It was meant to be.....My son told me he would like a rocking horse for Christmas. I entered the giveaway going on at the Dirty Shirt and won Milo, a handcrafted wooden rocking piggy. Well not exactly a horse, but a pig. No matter it was the highlight gift at my home Christmas morning and the first gift he ran to. Milo has beautiful handcrafted details all the way from his piggy ears to his curly piggy tail. He is adorable and we are so grateful to Goose Creek Enterprises for this little piggy and to The Dirty Shirt for hosting a wonderful review and giveaway.

Goose Creek Heirloom Rockers are just beautiful from handcrafted wood work to fine leather and painted details. It is also great knowing that the rockers are all natural and the paint is also non toxic. From rocking horses to rocking pigs visit Goose Creek and take a look around.




Above the cute little smile like all his dreams have come true & later half a sleep he rocked & rocked. A wonderful memory and Baby brother will enjoy Milo too.



It's this the cutest picture you've seen..I borrowed it from Goose Creek Website.




Personality from each Handmade Goose Creek Heirloom Rockers bring childhood imagination to life with exquisite character & details.

Scary After Christmas

Christmas was wonderful here, after Christmas was scary. First the good and happy part. Matthew got his second front tooth for Christmas on the bottom. Both Kids got plenty of toys. My family had such a nice quite and happy Christmas as you can see from the pictures, but after the quite comes.....the ER.




Well I guess I should have known better to get a exercising trampoline. Turned my head to go in the kitchen to get the baby his bottle, CC pulled the trampoline out and jumped off the bed (that is up to my hip high) on to it apparently and hit his head. I heard a loud cry and ran. Observing and did not see blood, a bump was raising up over his ear and his ear red. Off to the ER when he calmed down and he seemed good, but I wanted to make sure from the doctor.

The Hospital doctor said we would do a CT Scan to make sure there was no internal bleeding. CC took the doctor stethoscope and was full of it. CT Scan and head trauma, my 2yr did not like the machine or holding still. The first 2 tries was disaster, They did not want to sedate him. I held him and rocked then he went to sleep. We were wheeled to the machine with a wheelchair. I was scared to death, but all came back from the scan good. Things can happen fast no matter how close you watch them and they will surprise you.

I know boys are suppose to be rough, but I don't know if I can take much more of that. What's the the most crazy and scary stunts your kids did? At almost 3 now, I still have many more years to see what's coming and baby brother is behind him watching ready to follow along. How many gray hairs is that now?

"My Entry For the Kia Sorento Ultimate Road Trip Sweepstakes"

"Kia Sorento Ultimate Road Trip Sweepstakes"

People have you seen the Kia Sorento, I'm in love. ALL that ROOM. I currently have a Kia Rio, love the gas mileage, but got it before I knew I was pregnant. OK roomy enough for one kid, but add child #2 and I need space. The new Kia Sorento has that space and more...

To answer the question from Momlogic and Kia "If you could take your family on a road trip anywhere, where would you go and why?" I would have to answer Maggie Valley, North Carolina. There is the most fun park there called "Ghost Town in the Sky." I have such wonderful memories of spending time there with my grandparents. They also let me sift for gold and gems, so much fun!!! We watched live shows and spent time together and I loved it. I would love to pack my kids up and take them there.
