I found myself not long ago surrounded by negative energy which I had found I was becoming a big ball of negative energy myself and not liking that ME ,so have been finding ways to filter the negative energy out and change the way I deal with it . So it does not effect my whole day . SO I found a few things that work and find when I don't let or have time for those few things daily it all goes down hill from there . I use my gratitude journal daily just a line a day more if I have time of the positive things or the things that made my day easier . Spend a half hour a day for me . WHATEVER it may be a cup of tea , some craft time , hot bath , solo shower (saying that I mean without the girls as they have been loving have a shower so the sound of water has them running down the hall naked) reading a book ,some computer time reading my fave blogs , or a sweet treat in a dark room by myself (LOL) anything that gives you peace . Make time for your family or kids everyday . Something that gives your 100% attention .YES I mean turn off the phone whether its the house phone or cell or any other electronic device . Do something that gives you both a moment in time that refreshes you . A play outside , craft time , drawing a picture together or anything that gives them full attention without counting down minutes or seconds to when its done . ENJOY the time .
Just a thought of the day to keep a SMILE on your face a little longer during the day . But don't forget we all have those days too . So a bad days will not all be gone .
SO I leave you with a SMILE today : )
Also leave you all with thinking about .
I am happy here because ...........
SHARE with me . I will share mine tomorrow .

Reality check

So I so thought a summer pregnancy would be fantastic after having two winter ones I was so looking forward to it . Here was my visions . I would be barefoot pregnant  with dirt between my toes and all my kids running free exploring our farm yard for bugs , frogs and snakes . We would be outside until dark comes upon us ,then we would hose everyone down fed and bed. And do it all over again the next day . Well as it may seem my summer may bring me to bed rest . UGH !!!!!POOF vision gone . SO I hope that I can enjoy some of my summer and not ruin my kids summer on top of it too. Last doctor appointment I had been told that I have placenta previa . So I need to take it easy to keep our little man in the oven long enough for everything to properly develop .

This year we did the good ole vinegar ,water and food coloring .

Then used vegetable oil to rub in them to give them a super glossy look .

A tip I found somewhere online . (not sure where exactly )

We use crayons and masking tape to do different effects . The kids loved it too. (not just me )

FAMILY TIME

SORRY for lack of posts but we have our WHOLE family together its been since Christmas the last time we were together . Its amazing how we can see each other growing . We have been so busy . We have been enjoy the fresh air , have been being creative , silly , serious and everything in between  too.
Family means so much to me . I love having our immediate family all together all 5 soon to be 6 of us . It energizes me , I sit back and love it every  moment it even the crazy my hair is turning grey by the minutes times too (maybe not at the time but later I have grown from it ).I love hearing the kids giggle or Dman reading to the girls or the silly secrets ,all the love ( my kids are lovers) ,footsteps big and small , bath time its my fave time of day , car rides as we sing our lungs out , board games , and every other little thing . I wish we had more time together but we always make the most of the time we are given . I am proud to say these kids are growing up so fast and I can see my hubby and me in them more and more everyday .
I love the fact that we are filling these little peoples heads with all the knowledge they need to make it through this big world. That they need the love , encouragement , discipline , courage , strength , hope , challenges ,the chance to have accomplishments ,experiences ,life lessons , and their own feelings .
I am so glad to have a dear friend that knows how much this means to me and ALWAYS captures my family the way I know them and will always want to remember them by . She has truly been a blessing to our family and I always look forward to our photo shoot with her . Once again she did not disappoint me at all . I love that I can look back in the 3 years of pictures she has taken for us and cherish everyone of them . Check out our latest photo shoot here .
