The holidays bring to mind so many lovely terms….”Black Friday…Cyber-Monday…Advent…..Soccer-Mania….yes, I said “SOCCER-MANIA!”  It seems that with long holiday weekends or holiday breaks… many families, like mine,  are in full sports mode…traveling near and far to tournaments…in my case, soccer tournaments.  The kids are loving it….the parents are stressing it….and there is always the panic over finding cleats and clean uniforms…water bottles and snacks…as the car turns into a mini hotel on wheels for a few days.  We are just coming off one such  crazy weekend…and to add even more excitement to it all….we have a  new soccer  player in the family…can you guess who?

 Maybe Melissa can give us a 2 for one deal….”soccer wife” needs to get in shape as well!
