Positivity...

I've really been a grump lately. Everyone is wound so tight at work that it's Snappity Snapperville (myself included...hey, change is hard). I find so many negative things coming out of my mouth and it really bothers me!


So, this post is going to be a reminder to myself about all of the wonderful things that I have in my life.


Such as:


An incredible husband who adores me.




And a husband whom I adore.


5 amazing, healthy children.




A career that I LOVE.


A husband that is hardworking.


Incredible parents.




Three amazing brothers.


Wonderful in-laws.




Grandparents who hung the moon, I'm sure of it.


Aunts and uncles and cousins and nieces and nephews and Godchildren that rock this world.




Friends that have my back.




A great friend who is also our daycare provider.


Or is it, "a daycare provider who is also a great friend."?


A warm, spacious home in which to raise my brood.


A safe yard for my kids to play in.


The luxury of being able to afford to pay for my kids to attend a school where they can pray, say the Pledge of Allegiance, talk about God, and have a 'Christmas Program' rather than a 'Holiday Program'.


This beautiful state in which I live.




This amazing country, of which I am a citizen.


A comfortable bed.


An iPad. ;)


My health.


My sanity.


Membership in a wonderful church community.


A vehicle that I own.


Clean air to breathe.


Two dogs that protect us.


Laundry that is still (semi) caught up.


The ability to afford the occasional "friviolous" item.


Food on my table.


Veggies (growing) in my garden.


To be continued...

  8. This post brings me to tears! I agree, I agree! My heart longs to be positive...to live positively. It's just too easy to live through negativity instead of focusing on all that is right! Thank you for the reminder!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
