Non Stop

if spring break was a taste of what summer will be like

BRING IT ON

it feels like it has been non stop around here.

vegas was the beginning 

the girls had a dance competition  

so we packed up for a road trip

this kid LOVED drinking out of a can

i think it was her first time

i know......sad

live a little right?

this kid was ready

so excited 

we got there in decent time

they loved the hotel

and it WASN'T attached to a casino so it was nice

this one had her journal open and writing within minutes

it had been over 15 years since i had been to vegas

and i must say i didn't miss it 

AT ALL

it is not me

not for me

and i could careless if i EVER go back

smoking

drinking

recycled air

yuck

i like to open the door to the outdoors

i like sun

i enjoy a walk

not vegas

can you tell how i feel

the girls had fun

sleeping was kinda rough 

there's nothing like your own bed we say

but we survived

we were with great people and that made it fun

the pool was a blast

wave pool, lazy river, so much fun

didn't get any pictures but it was great

and from then on

we made the best of it

i can't tell you enough how happy i am they have each other

to have a sister must be wonderful

the aquarium at the hotel

love her facial expressions

good times

fun memories

but not sure i'll ever go back

EVER

now the craziness continues

school carnival

sosobella trunk shows

end of the school year things....

i try to keep things slow and steady around here

i am not much in to going here, there, having a crazy schedule

i think some of my friends think i stress a little

but really it's just me trying not to DO SO MUCH

i like home time

down time

don't get me wrong, it doesn't have to be quite and boring

loud, dancing, silliness, fun i love

 just not on the go all the time

it's just me

it's how i am

on the go all the time isn't fun to me

but for the next few weeks we'll go

we'll have fun

we'll get things done

we'll enjoy

we'll laugh

run around

and look forward to the summer days when going 

is an option

happy weekend to you

have a great one

Love The Look

oh how i love this look

missing front tooth. i love it. 

my girl is still little

looking at this picture brings a smile to my face

maybe also because the second top tooth is ready to come

out as well. looks a little goofy. 

lllloooovvvveeee it!!

she had a school performance

it was darling

soo cute

so sweet

i am so happy we still have music in our school

it's so important

so wonderful

the kids love it and need it

happy wednesday to you :)

Camp Cre8 - Summer Art Camp

It is our third year and we couldn't be more excited!!!

check it all out here

celebrate, good times, COME ON

we celebrated another birthday here

oh how i love to decorate
and love to get ready

believe it or not, the craft for the party

was done days before

i usually pull things off the night before

but this was done and ready to be crafted days before

woohoo

we set up and waited for the guest to arrive

paper bag scrapbooks was our craft

each guest had a book

a glue stick

a bag of photos of them and their friends

(provided by me, so they didn't have to bring anything)

cut out sayings
squares cut out from different scrapbook paper

heart shape cut outs

and a few stickers

they arrived and

we had a scavenger hunt

it was fun

no winners, no losers, just fun

***

then they got to work 

and suddenly it was silent

this crazy girl was doing a jig while i took a picture

love her

she thanks god every night in her prayers for her sister

they finished up their books

everyone of them was super cute!!!

we had a yogurt bar and

presents were opened

hugs, kisses and thank you's were given

and off they went

what a wonderful party

good friends and good times

a tired smile for sure

but a happy, fun day for the birthday girl was had

and the decorations stayed up for the following day celebration

mothers day

why not, right?

Today

shopping for mothers day is hard

my mom has most of what she wants

i've created jewelry for her

she has blinged havaianas

she's got it all

but today, walking around homegoods and marshalls

i saw tons of things that i loved. 

awhile ago, just to clear my mind

i'd grab a starbucks

and walk around these stores. 

just stroll. look. try on. 

get inspired. 

so today, after a our party here. 

i took off an strolled. 

this time, no coffee. 

but i found lots of yummy things. 

loved this print!! loved it!

and these steve madden's were sooo cool.

super loved these. they didn't have my size, otherwise i just might have bought them. even though i am not a heal girl. i'd like to be. 

this bird i should have bought!! may go back and get that. 

and these we darling. loved the zebra and the flower. they were steve madden's too.

l.o.v.e.d. em'

i miss those days of strolling. 

might have to do that a little more often. 

Spring Break & Mothers Day

spring break was rad

it was exactly what this family needed

the weather was wonderful

we hung out with great friends

it was laid back

relaxing

the kids played in the pool

they learned out to paddle board

looking at this picture now freaks me out

she was out there pretty far

it was so awesome

we met friends for a bon fire and had smores

i'm pretty sure it was one of the best spring breaks ever!!

****

and to end our spring break we spent the day in our home town

took some pictures

and enjoyed the ocean

looking at these pictures i took reminds me again

how incredibly blessed i am to be their mom

they are 2 sister who truly love each other 

and us, their mom and dad
