so yummy they need to be served up on a platter!
eta: you can now get them here
two peas in a bucket
sweet spots!
yooo-hooo…anybody home?
i can finally come out to play! 🙂
ok, so i’m obviously late for the party. and there really is a good reason why too.
let me ‘splain.
no, there is too much. let me sum up.
2 birthdays. both sets of grandparents in town. spring break. double ear infection (lincoln). sinus infection & ear infection (me). and buttercup is marry humperdink in little less than half an hour.
well, you get the idea.
it was actually kind of nice to let the ‘ole computer gather some dust this month. i highly recommend it if you ever find yourself being sucked into a vortex of unconscious clicking until you don’t know where you are, how you got there or how to get back. my advice…just drop the mouse and walk away. drop the mouse and walk away. 😉
it has been a jam-packed month. here’s the play-by-play.
ella’s birthday was a huge difference from last year. we are welcoming 3 with much gladness and bidding 2 a fond farewell. just watching her expressions full of girlish excitement was all we needed.
and the easter egg hunt was mostly successful. ella only wanted pink eggs. go figure.
i tried really really hard to finally get a family picture but only so much cooperation can happen at these ages!
and that about wraps it up for this month of march. except for the sickness but i’ll spare you the details of that.
oh and of course i didn’t forget…i promised a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for y’all. i’ve got that up my sleeve and i’ll post it later today.
whew. good to be back! 🙂
hey all
thank you all so much. seriously. thanks…so. much.
believe me, i promise i wasn’t fishing for compliments to make me feel better.
but i appreciate all of your comments now and over the past few years that i’ve been blogging.
because your thoughts and feelings have done just that. made me feel better. always.
and i hope that sometime i can repay the favor.
for now, i’m going to take a little breaky-break.
and focus on some important things that i’ve been letting slack in my life.
not to worry though. i won’t be gone too long.
kinda like the time i was supposed to be taking a long hiatus from dating before getting serious with jeff. uh…that lasted like 3 days. 🙂
i’ll be closing up shop here until march 17…ella’s birthday and st. patty’s day.
but i promise to return with a little something special for y’all.
until then.
over and out. 🙂
thoughts on a tuesday
talking with jeff tonight.
somehow we have the same conversation over and over and over.
i’m hormonal. and he patiently talks me down from this crazy place where i feel like a loser in all aspects of life. everything seems bleak and no amount of logic can turn that around. maybe you have been there.
and usually during these times when i feel like i’m dropping every possible ball, i want to pull the plug on this blog thing/online world and just walk away. i felt that way again tonight but then i came to a good realization. i think this blog represents only a small portion of my reality. life is full of ups and downs. and i think on average i usually post about the ups. our lives are not perfect as a blog may make them seem. hence, the gaps in posting=taking a break to work out the rough patches in life.
i hesitate being so candid and personal about myself sometimes especially out here in the open for anyone to see. but at times it’s therapeutic. and truthfully i have come so far by being able to express my feelings behind a computer screen. as weird as that seems. i enjoy this. i enjoy connecting. and creating my own little haven here.
so i guess i’m just thinking out loud tonight. maybe i’ll turn this thing off. i don’t know. i just wanted to say that i’m real. not perfect. just me. and that life is for learning, changing, and not being too hard on ourselves. repeat that one more time with me. don’t be too hard on yourself.
trivial things.
trivial things don’t seem so important today.
a dear friend of mine lost her sweet baby over the weekend.
and even though i never met him, he holds a special spot in my heart.
valiant, strong, courageous, and here long enough to teach us all a little about trivial things.
they don’t matter so much.
so these are for c & family today. sending much love.
my new favorite song that will be played over and over until jeff gets sick of it
have you heard this yet?
trust me. you need to. you really need to.
“Falling Slowly” from the film Once. (and the cool thing is they won the oscar for it)
the emotion of it just gets me.
it’s on itunes if you’re interested. and yes, i’m listening to it this very moment. lovely.
5 minute decor update
every time i go over to amy’s house, i leave with the “decorating bug.” and yesterday was no different. we were there for just a little while and she was showing me paint colors and looking through mags. she just inspires me to change things up. i love that about her!
so today, i was on a quest to do a little with stuff i have around here. i saw a cool thing that laura kurz made and loved it.
so this took 5 minutes, no joke! i used the butterfly from my Spring wings ‘n’ things brushes and put it on a yellow background printed it out and stuck it in a frame. spring has sprung. nice!!!
spring ditties
just posting really quick some new stuff released over at 2peas yesterday. feeling springy already! does that mean i have to start spring cleaning sometime soon? yikes. i dream of being organized. but if you look in my closets, you will see that i’m clearly hiding some serious chaos. 🙂 oh well. that’s another thing on my list of things to get to one of these days. anywho…here’s a look!
simply amazing
i’ve always wanted to go on a whale watch and we finally got the chance.
and it was simply amazing.
back with more pictures soon but here is one for now. breathtaking.
all twitterpated
