Giveaway WINNER!

Happy Saturday my dears!!
I hope this finds each of you enjoying your weekend...
I am so sorry that I haven't posted this sooner, 
my BFF is here and in the past 24 hours we've
tried on multiple pairs of glasses at the store,
witnessed an arrest for MAJOR shop lifting (note to self: do not go out the emergency exit with a cart full of unpaid merchandise in stilleto's... girlfriend looked real uncomfortable in handcuffs and stilleto's on a hot summer day... unless that's how you roll!) 
we ate a delicious Mexican meal,
devoured new magazines,
shopped,
ate some more,
gushed over Josie,
and NOW I am ready to announce the giveaway winner!

fill your jar.

Each 
day
is like
an empty
jar.
YOU 
get to choose
what you 
put in
it.
Today,
I chose to fill my jar up with some relaxation and devotions with my mom...
AND
garden time!!!

Taking in the beauty of the morning 
and being with ones that overflow my heart with love and goodness was such a wonderful start to my Sunday.
My cup truly runneth over.

Be 
Blessed this evening..

a bunch of stuff AND a giveaway coming MONDAY!

** woke up this morning CRAVING leggings, a comfy tunic, and riding boots!
not sure if it's possible, 
(do i dare even say this???)
but i think i got too much beach this week....
based on the fact that my carpet kicks up a little sand when i walk, 
AND you don't even want to see my van - it's a HOTTT MESS
-> and by HOT MESS i mean... sand, dirt, shells, ice cream, sprinkles, the occasional piece of seaweed ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Oh yeah, AND it's raining cats and dogs outside today!
i am such a "based on the weather" kinda girl (ya feel me??)
i'm about to dig out my knitting needles, hunker down with my coffee, and eat a powdered doughnut.
{the powdered doughnut thing is strictly because they are on the counter... not a weather thing! HA!}
but first let's look at cute clothes!!!!
:)
Funky Knitted Tunic
this tunic needs to be mine by 5 PM this evening!
just say'n!

syrup.

Yesterday morning, my syrup smiled at me!

Photo: I love when my syrup smiles at me!
and I, of course, smiled back
:)
then, I poured a large mug of coffee, started to get ready and felt a little girls arms around my legs, asking to come and read to her....
we snuggled.
read library books.
talked about our day.
it was so much better than putting on mascara!

This morning,
the waffles are gone, so I opted for cereal = no smiling syrup!
my daughter doesn't even want me to look at her = diva in the making!?
the dog keeps licking the lotion off of my legs = disgusting!

BUT......
The glass is half full.
yes 
it 
is!
may not feel like it, with dog slobber on my legs... but i'm gonna go ahead and make the most of the morning, take the high road, ya know!?
that means visiting YOU!

Be
Blessed!
~M.
