Photo Challenge Day 4: Something Green

LOVE my gardens but these spiders scare the crap outta me when I'm weeding!!!

Photo Challenge Day Three: Clouds

This picture was taken off our back deck as the moon was just coming out....very peaceful. This is my favorite time of day- just as the sun is setting and moon arises. The transition is so beautiful and peaceful. This is the time I usually in the summer water my gardens and really feel the most relaxed.  

Kids and the value of $$

Trying to teach my kids the value of money. The challenge is going into a store (doesn't matter which) and not have the kids demand they get 'something.' As a parent we realize how much we spend on those little things they beg for  - it all adds up to a heck of a lot of money at the end of the year! So tonight while at Walgreens, Preston begged and begged for this particular toy that cost $12. I said Christmas is coming up and that would make a great gift to add to his wish list. He threw an absolute fit. Then he went and threw a Star Wars toy in the cart and said I was buying it and that was that. I stopped and just counted to 3 - he took it out and put it back, as I was sturn yet collected. I have to come up with some sort of plan to have them save their own money and if they want something, they have to spend their own money. Maybe start an allowance? At same time I don't feel I have to pay my kids to help out around the house, I expect it.  But perhaps I'll create special projects they can earn extra cash on.... your thoughts?

This is what happiness is!

DAY 2 of photography challenge: What I am wore today:
(thanks Preston for your amazing photography skills <3 )


This is when I feel my sexiest: in my Rock Revival jeans and cowboy boots with my hair all dolled up with a touch of makeup :) I keep it simple and true to my character

So Preston cut off my head...you get the idea LOL

Life, love and the meaning of..

Ever love someone so deeply that it literally felt like their name was tattooed on your heart? Unconditional love means to passionately love someone so deeply that no matter what pain inflicted, forgiveness comes quickly and affection is immediate. Life is too short to waste on anger and hurt. Hurt is what binds our hearts into knots - to the point where it blinds love. I never want to go through life like that and I've promised myself bitterness would never enter my soul...for it spreads quick to the heart. All I know is how to love and live life passionately. Why wouldn't anyone want to go through life differently?

DAY 1 of Photography Challenge: Self Portrait

So stealing an idea from a friend, I am doing 'the photo' challenge. This should be fun!
So here is my self portrait from today:

Quote to ponder

‎"To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not Christian charity; it is only fairness. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." C. S. Lewis
