In honor of Life Made Lovely Monday, I am sharing these pictures from breakfast this morning.

Josie had the giggles about something and it melted my heart - and made ME get the giggles!

She has the most infectious laugh - and babbles on and on as though in a conversation about something. Soon those babbles will be actual words and we will get to talk, talk, talk! She makes my life (and my world) more lovely every day!!!

LIFE IS OH SO GOOD!!!

Check it out...

Hey!!! So I just entered in a contest for a FABULOUS giveaway - and you should TOO!

Head over to this blog - and enter! Tell Katy HI from me :-)

family.

Me, my sweet husband and our precious daughter are what "it's all about" for me.

This is us on the ocean in Mexico (La Bocana) a month ago - not a care in the world - beaching it up (with the birds!)

Hope you are having a splendid Saturday.

xxoo,

Me.

Today & some link love

Happy Friday y'all!

It's been a busy week - thankfully everyone is on the mend from being sick - and the sun is shining ever so brightly this morning (PRAISE JESUS!!! LOVE A SUNNY DAY!)

I had some downtime this morning to snuggle and play with my sweetpea daughter and snapped a quick pic of us...and of course the dog got in on some lovin' as well...

I love you too Harley - thanks for the kiss!

***I am a follower of Kiwi Freckles - and thought I would try out some link love today - spreading the love...***

-----> Here ya go!

**I LOVE this blog and her precious nursery idea that she came up with for her (almost here) new baby boy!

**Would somebody please tell my husband I want one of these waiting for me on my pillow!?

**I would like a set (or more) of these green stools in my kitchen - they will be on my "Summer Garage/Estate Saleing Wishlist" (Bigtime heart them!)

**Ohhh yes, and last but not least - this wreath about took my breath away! It is to die for - and she is my new FRIEND!!! :-) Feeling blessed!

~Have a SUPER-DUPER weekend - and as we say at my house

"Hasta Lasanga - Don't Get Any On Ya!" (silly, I know -but never fails to make me chuckle!)~

xxoo.

Embrace...

I have decided to EMBRACE the camera today!

Check out the head of hair on my baby girl!!!!

This is a picture off of my phone - post naptime in all of our glory! Life is Good!

~ENJOY~

Confessions...

So... I found a FAB new blog to follow today and am doing Confessions Over Chai Tea (YUM!) with Katy AND the rest of you too! And can I just say that I figured out how to "link" stuff on my blog today and I am shakin' in my boots excited and proud of myself! :-) hee hee hee sorry for the side note. Onto the CONFESSIONAL!

Here is goes:

1. I love window clings! I know, it is totally random and a bit disturbing... but I am a teacher and I love anything fun for a classroom (or in this case my home where I do daycare)... I am especially excited about the funky gel ones. (I can't believe I am admitting this!) :-) Now don't get me wrong, I don't go around putting them up all over every window... usually just in the kitchen for holidays - my daughter thinks they are a blast, especially if she can reach them, take them off, crumple them and hand them to me smiling!

2. I am addicted to my morning coffee. I make a pot and from about 7 AM - 10 AM I drink then entire thing. by myself. no cream. no sugar! Straight coffee! And I am not the slightest bit shaky or anything! It's just so delicious - and gets me thru! :-)

3. I took ballet in college and have never been in such amazing shape! It was painful (very) but I loved it and would love to take it again - my body could definitely use it too!

4. When making a s'more, I like my marshmallow BURNT - to a crisp! It grosses my husband out BIG TIME, but something about it makes my mouth water!

5. I wish Julia Roberts was my next door neighbor! I love her - her style - her laugh and I think we could be buddies!

6. One time when my husband (then my boyfriend) and I were out in a canoe - he was trying to fish and I was trying to jump out and swim (not a good mix!) and upon getting into the canoe from the little nasty swimming hole, the canoe was tipping and fish hooks were flying and HIS fish hook (complete with a worm -nightcrawler!) went into my buttocks - more like buttcheek but you get the point! I freeked out that I would maybe start foaming at the mouth because I had gotten tetnus from his nasty fish hook - but I survived - it hurt ALOT but here I am... foam free!

7. I wake up every day and greet it with the notion that it could be the best day of my life! My step-dad taught me that and he is an amazing man with a lot of knowledge and when with him he always asks me "Maggie, did you know that today could be the BEST day of your life?!"

Thanks for letting me share. I hope YOU have a wonderful day :-) You deserve it!

Tea & Wellies

This afternoon, after getting all of my daycare kiddos down for nap I made myself a piping hot mug of lemongrass green tea (delicious!) and went online in search of some funky new wellies to sport this spring! After all, who doesn't LOVE to puddle jump!?!?

I think these could quite possibly be the ticket to my puddle jumping bliss!

Hmmmm....
