I promise this post will not be a nostalgic trip down memory lane of how our great country came to be. I just thought you should know 2 things about why I love today.

1.) This movie is one of my absolute faves and can be found on several channels every July 4 without fail.

2.) And there will be a marathon on Discovery of this: (my favorite TV show)

As you can see, today will be all about family, food, and much butt parkage on the couch for me.

Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th! Enjoy your barbecues and fireworks shows!

Today Cracked Daddy and I celebrate 10 years of marriage. I remember when we first got married that 10 years sounded like such a long time away. I could only imagine then what our lives would be like now.

It’s 10 years later today and it really does seem like it went by with the blink of an eye. We’ve certainly been thrown some curve balls as far as what we had planned for our life to be like today (man makes plans…God laughs!), but we are happy and healthy, our basic needs are met, and we have one incredible son. And truth be told, I really don’t think I could have planned it better.

I wouldn’t have wanted to go through any of these past 10 years with anyone else.

Just wanted to give a big warm welcome to my visitors from the MckLinky Blog Hop! I’m Mandy and this is my blog Mommy Cracked. I started my blog in 2007 after leaving my job as a school librarian and I write about my family which consists of my husband and son (and two awesome cats), the life we live in small town Mississippi, and the occasional review and giveaway. I love goodnatured sarcasm, reading TONS of blogs (hope to be adding MANY more to my feed reader through this post) and I work part time in a Christian bookstore. Thanks for stopping in and please subscribe to my blog…I love new readers!
