Live it up!

I love this saying by Mae West!

Let’s put it all out there as we live our lives…

Live fully. Love with your whole heart. Be thankful. Praise God. Give of yourself. Spend time praying or meditating. Be YOU! And laugh…every chance you get!

Happy Saturday all!

My New Motto: Accept the Crazy

I’m pretty sure someone made this cartoon for me…especially after yesterday’s post: Wife of the Year Moment

So when I saw this on Pinterest today I knew I had to share it.

I think making this my new motto is a good plan. Now I can just grab my husband like the woman in the picture and say “Just relax and accept the crazy”.

Poor Tim.

{Sigh}

Oh well…embrace the crazy in your life!

We will be!

Have a fun Friday night!

Do What You Can Do…

This picture and its saying are fantastic – a little sassy, but fantastic!

To all my fellow auto-immune disease sufferers – I say: Let’s raise a glass of water and toast ourselves – and to those who don’t understand and don’t want to try to understand – to heck with you!

We may take longer to do some things (work, rest, work again)…we may be more tired and achy… Read more

I HAVE A GRANDPUPPY!!!!

Yes, you heard me right!

A Grandpuppy!

Let me formally introduce you to the new love of our family, Louis (pronounced Lew-ee)!

Isn’t he absolutely ADORABLE?

Of course I may be a little prejudice…

I can’t wait to meet this little man (err…English Bulldog).

Alex and her boyfriend Tom adopted sweet little Louis on Saturday.

I have refrained from racing down to meet him…I told Alex that they needed the weekend to bond.

I will wait…

I can wait…

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

But…

Oh My Gosh…

I want to squeeze the stuffin’s out of this sweet little dog!

I will get my turn…

Grandma can be patient!

I think…

Have a blessed day everyone!

My Late Mother’s Day Present & Vintage Finds

Miss Gabi finished my Mother’s Day present last weekend and I am now the proud recipient of a “Gabi Original” work of art!

How cute is this?

And I LOVE that she painted the “Always in My” on there too…

A sweet little message from my not so little girl.

She’s almost done with 6th grade and just received a “Presidential Excellence Award”.

{proud sigh}

7th grader.

My baby is going to be a 7th grader!

I guess it always catches us by surprise…this kid growing up thing.

You go along in your day to day living…waking them up for school (BRUSH YOUR TEETH!), sending them to bed (DID YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH?) and everything in between…

And WHAM.

They grow up when we aren’t looking.

{sigh}

Make some memories…

Cherish every moment…

Even the (BRUSH YOUR TEETH!) ones.

Now with those ultra wise words being said…

Take a look at the rest of the vignette I put her painting with:
