My husband and I have become Extremely addicted to Dr. Who. I love it because for the most part it is kid friendly. I laughed and reposted a Dr Who reference to my facebook wall saying this is totally Ember and Jake. After posting, I was folding laundry and Ember was in the kitchen painting at the kitchen table. I had the chair scooted up to keep an eye on her and bounce Jake at the same time. I turned my head to fold towels as quickly as I could. When I realized HOW quiet Ember was, I turned my head (very slowly) to see that she had painted herself up to be a Warrior Princess. Than again - it shouldn't surprise me. She did pick out a battle ax for her second birthday last month!

 There is never a dull moment.

I drooled over this green dress from Maurices I finally broke down and bought it. I'm so glad I did. It feel so beautiful in it. When I got the courage to share this picture on Facebook my spirits were lifted to see how many of my friends responded. Future reference: No matter what, love yourself.

I meant to post this poster yesterday. My husband and I looked up the Saint Patrick's Prayer to put on a card for his second Mother. I made this 11x14 to add to our living room wall next year for the month of March. This spring is going to be rough with the changing weather. It's just going to add more stories for our family.

dear mom who feels like she wants to quit.

Yesterday I didn't really do anything - I was having a rough day. I wanted to throw in the towel. Today I'm finally picking myself up and doing laundry and some of the dishes that have been sitting there awhile, along with bleaching the bathroom. I feel like I could find maggets in a spot or two because I have not been focusing my attention on what needed to be done. Today while taking a break from Laundry I started going through my pins on Pinterest and found a link to Finding Joy blog.

I needed to read that today. Or should have read it yesterday. I blame the weather. It rained yesterday from midnight til 3 p.m. and I wasn't able to sleep with the kiddos taking different naps. Today is bright and shining. Looking forward to a more POSITIVE mind set.

Ember's Second Birthday.. We let her pick out her gift at K-Mart. Of all the things she could pick out: A BATTLE AXE!

Meet our warrior little Princess.

Today I went outside and spent time with my daughter. After a few minutes I ended up running inside to get my camera to capture the bees in a tree near our house. I lost track of time standing there listening and watching the bees. I hope we have more Saturdays like this in the near future.
