i am very grateful for who we have.

for me as a mom, i am truly grateful she is our teacher.

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

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.
