Flower Friday Flashback

These are from a trip to Sedona we took in July of 2012.  It was amazing.  Sedona is one of my favorite places to visit, at all times of the year.  July is their rainy season right before the monsoons, we had a little dose of that.  Anyway, I think that's why the tress were blooming like it was spring.
These colors kind of fill me up, with all good stuff.






I will leave you with another quote, just 'cause I am feelin' it.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 
― Maya Angelou

So, go do something nice for someone.
If you want to.

The Excitement Continues

I'm working hard to get my new website done and I am feeling great about this year.




I also am feeling really clear in my head, more so than I have in a long time.


I am starting to find the balance between "not over thinking it" and still doing good work, which for me, is huge.



























I also fell in love with a quote that I am repeating in my head, well, not word for word, but, you know, I am paraphrasing it.

Check it out...

School Uniform

I can't get this girl in a dress to save my life.
































In preschool she would wear nightgowns to school because they looked like princess dresses.



Now it's always stripes, jeans and Converse.
With holes in at least one of those items...


...and freckles, lots of cute freckles.

At least some things never change.

Times Like These


I have a new mantra for 2014.











Actually, it started a couple of months ago during a 'how, why, what, where and holy cow I can't do that, it's too much for me' moments.  My sister-in-law told me to breathe and "don't over think it".


























I have spent my life over thinking it, usually in a 'not good enough' way.


























But I am done with that I tell you!  2014 is my year of not overthinking it!
Don't ask me to think, I won't do it.


























I might over think it a little bit, sometimes, I do have standards after all.
Baby steps people, baby steps.

PS Sweet little spots from my girls' room, I sneak in there sometimes while they are at school.  Obviously, so does Molly (the cat).

Flower Friday--I'm back


It's been like spring around here.


I am throwing this pretty pink shot of flowers out to all of my friends shivering in their snow boots, I hope it warms you up.  If I could trade places with you for a couple of weeks, I would.  


But then you would just complain about the traffic...;)

Happy Friday!

The Girls

I look at these photos and I can imagine them like this in another 5 (10, 20, 30) years, doing the same thing.

Throwing me attitude,


being total goofs,


reminding me to go with the flow.

As if I have any other choice.

I Am Excited


About this year.  I am excited about this day, hour, moment.  Because we have to indulge in the little things, right?

Happy New Year everyone!
