Irish eyes are smiling.... especially when I treated my three little leprechauns with cupcakes as an after-school snack on St. Patrick's Day!




Theme: Green

added some fun in picnik. sorry for the lack of writing to accompany the photo. it's been one of those weeks.

.

Short & sweet weekly recap....

All photos are random pics from this week, with the exception of the 2 pics of the girls. They were left over from last weekend. I loved them and wanted to share them.

Only one story this week.. as it is the most important to me.  The girls and I made a fruit rainbow today (Saturday, March 19, 2011). Exactly one month ago, our vibrant Destiny became a beautiful rainbow in the sky. In her honor, I asked the girls to each share what they loved about their sisters, as individuals. We spoke of what family love meant and then we all said a silent prayer for Destiny, Melia, Riley and Hailey. Life is precious. Seek your own rainbows. Paint your life with color, laughter, joy, kindness and love. Destiny did. <3

So much has happened in my life and I haven't been blogging like normal. What is normal anyway? Because I surely wasn't blogging a lot to begin with. Oh well.

So my dear friend, Jan, from TwoScoopz.com has been after to me to share my pics with the group. I have been a member of focus52 since the beginning but have not participated once. Until now, that is. Here ya go, dear Jan! ;o)



The theme is week is {Variety}.  Perfect timing as I receive a lovely bouquet of paper flowers from one of my dearest friends who lives in Louisiana. She made this little bit of sunshine for me. The variety of papers she used reflected my personally so well. She knows me. We have never met in person yet. Hopefully some day that will change but it is still very heartwarming to know that someone can really know who you are without ever having to meet in person. It is a soul connection. The vase she put them in is so darling and fits me to a tee too! Shipped from Louisiana with love. I adore them and I adore her. She is so special. {10:52} & {67:365}

sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Friday was such a beautiful day. Right around 70*. More Spring Fever so I decided to buy 2 budget bouquets from Plasterer's Florist to bring Spring inside our home. I made up 3 different arrangements. I love doing this from time to time. Can't help but smile with pretty flowers all around!  Kari spent the night with a friend and it was movie night for the rest of us.  Busy 3 day weekend ahead! Blessed.
