It’s upsetting, I know. I think we would all be lying to ourselves if we said that eVerYtHinG in our life has turned out exactly, if not better, than what we had planned. Sure, some areas in our life have exceeded our expectations, but let’s face it; other areas have been a big disappointment. YouContinue reading “When Life Doesn’t Turn Out The Way You Thought…”

Easy Shell Wreath
This summer while my son spent hours in the ocean learning how to boogie board, my daughter and I collected seashells.

What Am Complaining About?
We live in a world that is constantly striving for perfection and it’s only natural to get wrapped up in the cOmPetitioN. Wanting the perfect “life”….ya know the perfect house, car, body, job.

They Are Paying Attention!
Today I got an email forward from my mom that really made me think. It was a beautiful poem about what goes on in the mind of a child when we ThInK they aren’t looking.

{One Sure Way To Drown}
One thing my family loves to do in the SuMmEr is go to the swimming pool. My 4-year old, Belle, loves to jump into the pool and swim to me.

{How To Add Effects & Words To Photos}
I think it is kinda funny, ME, writing a post about editing pictures. That’s because I really am techno-challenged. {Is that a laugh I just heard all the way from Lyndon, Kansas – 90 miles away?! Yes, I am quite certain Lara is laughing because she has taken too-many-to-count phone calls from me with myContinue reading “{How To Add Effects & Words To Photos}”
Worth the Investment
