What you’re doing matters

What you’re doing matters. What you’re doing matters. What you’re doing matters.

This was the theme of the 2010 Mom 2.0 Summit. I was so inspired by this conference. The panels, the discussions, the photos from the exhibits, the wonderful people I got to meet. So inspiring. What a great community to be a part of.

Watch the video. Hear the video. Share the video. Let the beauty inspire you.

You are writing the story of your only life every single minute of every day.

Monster Truck Grave Digger tears it up in Houston, Texas

I have never been to a Monster Jam before until this February! I took Mason, Danielle, and Danielle’s friend Abby, while Matt stayed home with the baby.

I’m the mother of a 4.5 year old boy so I know all about Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, King Krunch and all the Monster Trucks but to see them in person was something else! Iron Man was making his Houston debut and the crowd was going crazy when Iron Man went head to head with Grave Digger in the racing competition.

Right after Grave Digger passed the finish line, he took a horrible flip. They had to pull out the tractors to get back on all fours. Its was so funny to watch this because when Mason and I play Monster Trucks, I usually drive the tractors.

This was Grave Digger, driven by Pablo Huffaker, during the freestyle competition. He finished 2nd during the racing competition.


Needless to say, he won! What a crowd pleaser!

I wish I was more like Plastic Man!

Who wouldn’t want to be able to stretch and shape shift like him? I want Mason to like him too!
