I'm going to wash that gray right out of my hair..

So, I've discovered that I 'm not even 40 yet and the grays are beginning to be more prominent.

I am so discouraged.

I took a few pictures on my camera (trying to test out the timer) and I discovered another thing, my daughter and I smile alike.  When she was younger she would always smile and it would be all teeth.  I tried to encourage her to smile a little smaller (ha, is that possible?! :-))

This picture was before date night with my husband.  Trying to work on reconciliation.

We went to Red Lobster!  I was spoiled. Imagine being barely able to buy groceries and then being treated to a 3 course dinner .  I was beside myself that night.

It's almost Valentines Day!  I can't wait to put out some decorations this weekend.  XOXOXO

The girls

I am so happy when my daughter is able to get together with family and bond.  It was no different when Susan's cousin Colette was able to come over and spend some time.

Here are some cute pics of the girls in action.

And there is my son attempting the same trick on the trampoline.

It was a great Christmas break and it is now back to normal everyday life!  I wish I had a job where I could spend more time with my kiddos and more days off with them. What am I saying, I do have a job like that now.  The next step would be stay at home mom and nothing pays the bills like good ol' greenbacks funded by the US Treadury.  

Life is now!  Live it to the fullest!  :-)

Out on the boardwalk....

Down by the sea....today we drove down by the docks to take some pictures of my littles.  These are pictures I normally take at Christmas time but we were running late this year.

Some of my top favs!

And afterwards we had lunch at a corner shop.  Chicken wings were really good!  Sanford, my friends.  It's where it's at.

Good ending to the first week of Jan 2015.

Happy New Year's!!!

A new year with 365 days to make a statement and change somebodies life!  

What are some of my goals?

- to make my health a priority

- to read at least 3 New York Times best sellers (I used to read all the time before I had children)

- travel on a plane somewhere (this requires money but we have 365 days to think about that one)

- to make 2 new friends and invite them to lunch a and/or dinner

- Experiment with more color on my lips and different hairstyles

New Years Eve was fun!  We didn't ring in the new year awake...we ate and conked out about 9:30. 

To all. A Happy New Year!!

Day at the Beach

Christmas Vacation and we get to go the beach!  What's up with that?!  It was so warm out, just perfect!

James met up with some buddies at the beach and he had a great time!

Mom relaxing, not allowing the water to touch my feet. The water was freezing but there were still people who braved it and went in, including my son.


Such a fun day!  Looking forward to more days like this with my boy.  I am a little smitten!  :-)

Friday

It is Friday and I am inspired to do absolutely nothing today!  It is chilly out and I think I am going to veg inside my nice, cozy warm home!  My son is playing with his Christmas presents, so I can guarantee at least a few minutes of him being occupied without being bored.  ha!

Yesterday was a wonderful day at my mother's home spent with family and close family friends.  It's nice to sit around and catch up on old stories and new stories.  See the siblings that you normally wouldn't get to see in everyday life.  I am so blessed with the people in my life.  They all can truly offer something in this world.

The world is a better place with this little guy!  James Michael Smith is such a loving little boy and I am so glad to call him my son.  He makes his momma so proud.

Hoping that next year is full of things that inspire us all to do some good in this world.  Spread love, and donate to the needy.  Spend time with those less fortunate and don't give up on all the promises that God has for us.

Welp, that is all for now!  Peace, Love and Happiness.

Christmas memories

What a great day!  My mom always try to make the holidays really nice for everyone and she usually does a pretty good job, today was no different.  Mom was the hostess with the mostest!  :-)
