Never Ending Winter...


It always strikes me, at this time of the year, when the sun struggles to rise above the tree tops, just how stinkin' long winter is.


I don't know if it's the knowledge about just how far the sun has to rise in the sky before we'll be blessed with warmth and green and chirping birds again, or what...but it always seems like January is when it really hits me.


That we're in this for the long haul. That the little bit of winter we've just passed through was just the beginning.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Sure doesn't help anything that I was just looking through pictures like these:




And dreaming of the days in which I complain about how hot it is. Ahhhhh...summer, I can't wait!!

    Ya, I agree 100%. I'm over winter after the first snow fall.. Then it can go away. I hate walking outside and feeling my snot freeze.. (I know that might be a little tmi, but that's the way things are). I can't wait for Spring, and Summer. :)

    I was just thinking about how warm it was at the beach last fall. We need a good melt here.

    Try going on a vacay in 77 degree Orlando and coming back to a freak snowstorm. 12 inches and a state of emergency in Tennessee. DE-PRESS-ING.

    Ahhhhhhh, torture to look at summertime pics!
    I am with you on "neverending winter" !! I get pretty "hopeless" at this time of year, thinking we will never feel the warm summer sun and crisp clean breeze again! And, then we get a mild day and it helps me get through!

    It hits me in February. There's usually one day when it just feels like it's going to last forever and I cry like the biggest sucky baby ever.

    Love the pic of BabyGirl in her itty bitty bikini! She is adorable.

    Hang tight, sistah. Summer has to come back eventually ;-)

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!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story !

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...
