Rules..................







Rules of Happiness:
Something to do,
Some one to love,
Something to hope for.
-Kant

It was so fun to be a part of the Coronado FOCUS (Friends of Children United Society) Christmas Boutique today. I am always so inspired and happy after I see what people create. My girlfriend makes such beautiful children's cloths, another new friend makes adorable pigs and a 94 year old woman (I met today) has her own business decoupaging vintage luggage...........to be 94 years old and staying active is so uplifting..................okay ....... really liked the pink princess tutu I made too.
I am so lucky to have a creative outlet to bring such interesting people in my life......it makes HAPPY!! .........In this picture I am wearing my apron from Kelly.

Friday Flashback




This Friday's Flashback helped me realize Sarah might be inheriting a few more of my traits than I originally thought.........hmmmmmm.

Me holding my sweet little "angelic" sister and my nephew holding his new little sister. Can't wait to meet my new niece!!( wish I could get the picture bigger but don't have the brain power this morning)


Happy Friday!!

Hello...................


My husband asked me tonight "what is it about blogging that you like?''
(you can add the tone)
Hmmmmm ......I think of blogging as the quick phone call I would love to make and check in to see how everyone is doing.....or.....the fun party I meet a new person that I find interesting and make a connection . I was on the phone today with a friend and I felt horrible giving only 80% of my ear because my little one was looking for something to climb on, jump in, put her finger through or lick..............so blogging is MY time to stay connected.



Oh, I am a new Auntie today.........my sis had her little girl this morning........pictures to come.

Boogers


We HAD to get out of the house............ I kept Sarah close to home one more day hoping her nose will clear up. We have both been suffering from allergies the last couple days. We are lucky to live close to the beach so we took a quick walk . By the looks of this picture you might think we were talking about love and angels but this is what Sarah asked me

Sarah- "Mom......do you eat boogers?"
Me- "No and you shouldn't either Sarah"
Sarah- "Oh okay"

She asked this same question the other night at 2 am getting up to go potty so she must have "Boogers" on her mind......now if we could get them in a tissue.

Friday Flashback




Happy Friday!!
This is a REALLY bad picture of a picture but I couldn't get over the flowers in my bedroom. Wallpaper, bedspread, blankets.......all flowers......no wonder I love the Carlsbad Flower Fields so much. I look like an oompa loompa in the picture due to bad lighting. What I took away from this picture is I am going to take pictures of Sarah's rooms as she grows up just so she can remember all her phases in life. Now with digital cameras it will be easy to document and save.
Have a good weekend!

Invigorate


Okay,..........since July, when I had a Dr. Phil frosting moment , I have been working out regularly and feeling pretty good. Well, I took 3 weeks off and was feeling tired, soft and crabby. So, last night I drove slowly to Jazzercise not wanting to go thinking...."hmmm I could just sleep in my car for an hour, spray some water on my face to look sweaty when I go home." ...........but I said.........."Just Go" and slowly walked into class really not wanting to be there......
an hour later

I AM SO GLAD I WENT......I am invigorated!! I looked "Invigorated" up on Thesaurus .com and these are all the things I want to be........so I will continue to force myself to exercise and get my "Moxie" back.
