Mothers :: 20/52

This is the sight I woke up to on Mother’s Day:

3 roses for my 3 precious children.

2 here and 1 in heaven.

Being a mother: one of the greatest privileges on earth. I’m so thankful for my sweet kids!

My hubby also got me a necklace and earrings. He knows I love bright and happy colors, so this is what he picked out:

I went a little lot crazy with the editing in that one.

He also got one of my other loves for me…chocolate. Yum. I don’t have a picture of that, though. Any guesses why?

Want to see my other pics from the P52 challenge?

Bahahaa…oh my, how I crack myself up. The great Houdini? The great Zucchini? Okay, gimme a minute and let me laugh about it. —- Okay, I’m back. Oh, you’re still laughing? I know. I’m witty. What else can I say? Just this – the next time you’re at the store…buy zucchini. And lemon. Just buy [...]

It’s Sunday evening, 8:52 PM. The kids are in bed and my husband is out for the moment. Quiet times like these are rare for this momma and I’m using this one to think over the day: Mother’s Day. My4th one if you count the one when I was first pregnant. Mother’s Day never ceases [...]

Still Life :: 19/52

still life

Can’t believe it’s week 19 of the 52 week photog challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. It’s crazy how fast we are coming to the middle of 2012! The theme this week is “Still Life.” My interpretation: It’s been rainy off and on this week. On Wednesday, I put the kids down for a nap [...]

Hot Virginia Dip

Mrs. Meyer’s On the Cheap

Collage

I think it was about a year ago when I first heard of Mrs. Meyer’s. Maybe it was from Nester. I can’t remember. All I know is that I was convinced I had to sniff her cleaning products the next time I went to Target. Then last year I had a life changing experience when [...]

Fiesta or Siesta :: 18/52

Fiesta or Siesta

I have been a bit absent from blog-land this week. I didn’t even post on Wednesday – I don’t know if that has ever happened since I’ve started blogging! Remember last week when I told you I had some sort of nasty sickness? Well, it never left. I thought it was on its way out, but [...]
