April showers bring May flowers


Thursday, April 18, 2013

Hi all, it has been raining everyday here as of lately. I snuck in a long run yesterday before it started which made me happy :) I am starting on some research for when to plant, how to plant, how to grow pretty flowers...without killing them or seeing them actually appear. I have never been garden savvy. Watering flowers has never been my strong point. With that being said though I do want to make our yard lovely, I want double take's of neighbors walking by. I have never had a double take worthy yard, so this is something that will be new to my hubby and I. I am looking at planting peonies (my favorite), ranunculas, and just because I love the name Baptisia.... which I looked at some pictures of them and they are pretty too! Of course they are their name is precious to me, baptise is what it sounds like and reminds me of and that is a wonderful event! Hubby and I are first going to finish building the shed in our backyard and then we will move on to some landscaping. I know hubby also wants to redo the deck...lots of outdoor work this spring/summer/fall. I will try to overcome my laziness and actually incorporate photos I have taken onto the blog instead of just using what I find on the web. I may be just to insecure (not the best photographer), I am trying to learn a little here and there, but I don't have any clue how to work the lovely camera hubby got me. So for today please enjoy the pictures from the web, they are far prettier than my own hehe.

So this is Spring huh


Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Spring came last week...or so that's what they said! I can not believe as I got up on Sunday morning the snow was covering the ground, little by little it fell and fell and FELL. We got pounded with some snow ya'll. I mean it was the most I had ever seen. 18 inches I think to be exact. The most in my lifetime. But spring it's here and I can see the glimmers of hope that it really wants to be here, sunshine, slowly the snow is melting away.....I am so excited for warmth! Spring is bringing out the girly-girly side of me. I am loving all things pink, and yearning for a Mani/pedi date sometime in the near future. I chose to keep my tootsies all natural this winter, so as soon as the warm weather pops, i'll be popping into my favorite nail salon for a refresher. I told you I was loving all things girly and pink, here are my latest images I am swooning over to prove it!

Bows. Pearls. Pink. screams I am a girl!

Bravery..I need more of it

From the dress to the shoes- I wanna wear it all

Reminds me of my beffy and I- missing her :)

let's Spring into action

Tomorrow is the first day of spring....this week it hardly feels as if Spring is upon us. Cold temperatures and ice-y mornings. I can not wait for it to transition into Spring though and that is why I am loving this bright, bubbly pink, everywhere. Happy Spring Eve :)

Finding time.....hard to do


Friday, March 8, 2013

I have neglected my little blog lately. Life is moving by too fast, weeks go by like days and before I know it...it's a new month. March is here and already going on the second week. I am thrilled that the days are getting longer and birds are chirping as I rise for the day. Beautiful to hear the joyous sounds of Spring awakening, beautiful to see the sun coming up on a new day that is filled with God's everlasting love. I have been trying to find time to sit down and blog, its been tough lately with work, school, and life in general. I miss being on here regularly and reading my favorites. I hope to continue to have a little time each day to sit and blog, wait I am making too big a promise with the everyday, lets stick with weekly, yes that's much better. No way I can live up to the promise of a blog post a day. What was I thinking? School and work pretty much consume my life right now. I think I may have one night a week to catch up on everything else in life....like laundry/dishes/sleep/dusting/floors/groceries. You get the picture! This morning I sat down and got to read some more of my book I won off of a give-away on theletteredcottage. It's called Mended by Angie Smith. Great book, moving words! Here are some of my latest pins from Pinterest. Check them out and have yourself a great day!
