Hey!!!!

Hello to all of you that still have my blog site in your radar - YOU ROCK!

I am working on cleaning up the old blog-a-rooskie for a fresh start to the SUMMER!

I have all of June and July OFF

 and am ready to catch you up on life.

For now, you must watch this clip from the Today show about "Sarah the Dolphin" ~

awe inspiring!

Much love to all of you,

M.

i heart YOU!

good morning my dears!

my house is completely silent - except for the sound of my typing away, and the occasional swig of coffee - i am a loud sipper... it makes my husband roll his eyes and chuckle - makes me sip louder!

:-)

(love ya babe!)

 here's a few things to put a smile on your face this morning...

much

love 

to 

all 

of 

you.

~m. 

something to think about...

~m.

just so you know....

hope you had a happy wednesday.

i wore a dress today - just because.

:-)

think about this.....

so here's what i woke up pondering this morning.....

why do we wish our week away?

everybody is always waiting for friday 

-is it friday yet?

-ugggghhhhh i hate mondays?

now, don't get me wrong - i love my weekend just as much as anybody else,

but how about we wake up and say

"hey tuesday!  let's do this!"

"wednesday... looking good!"

the sun is shining.

your heart is beating.

your face is smiling.

(hopefully!)

let's try it....

shall we?

Oh Happy Day!

it's a state holiday, and you know what that means..... this mama is off for the day!!!!  so i figure, what better day to pull up the ole' blog and begin anew!?!  elizabeth larson.... this is for you!  (you can go and see beth's blog HERE! you'll love it from the minute you begin reading - pinky swear) 

*********************

so here's the latest and greatest from my little corner of the world:

i am absolutely loving my new job!  i feel like i have found my happy place - what i was meant to do... interacting with people, helping people, teaching children, being a ray of sunshine to someones otherwise cloudy day... it's amazing!  

and every morning when my feet hit the pavement i feel blessed to be where i am!  

AMEN.

josie is doing spectacular at daycare - she has made SO MANY new friends & is taken care of beautifully!  we love our provider - A-mazing! SHE ROCKS!

ALLELUIA!

i did not think i would survive at first.... my heart ached for her, but after seeing her GROW and BLOSSOM into a smart, compassionate, sweet little love... i am confident in our choice.   

now....

onto some things that are making me SMILE!

we used this picture for our "New Years" card!

~came across this this morning - love it!  and who doesn't LOOOVE cookies?

have you been getting Spring catalogs in the mail???

it absolutely sends me into SPRING-MODE.. as in, wanting to paint everything bright colors, got to the grocery store and bed the florist to find me some tulips for my table... that kinda thing:

for instance...

loving this little number.... thank you very much Boden Spring catalog!

isn't the simplicity of this cute?  with some deck shoes??

darling!

I will leave you with some encouragement for the day:

Let's all CHOOSE happiness....

Spread the LOVE!

XOXO,

~M.
