Random Randomness and then Some Tunes

Here are some things about my life.

This is what Sunday looks like at my house.

Isaac licking the mixing bowl. Check out the magnifying glass he has there while he eats his waffle. ♥

Today was the last day of SCHOOL for the year. Yeah for summer! Yeah for Mollie and Christian.

My sweetheart gave me a swing for Mother's Day. I spend as much time as I can out there in my SECRET GARDEN. I even blog out there. ♥

This is my beautiful sister and my niece. They entered a look a like mom and daughter contest!

This is a common sight in my home, cats in baskets. ♥

Cow sorts the socks.

No Excuses

This post is not about excuses for such a long absence. This post is about me living my life, being in the moment, taking one thing at a time and enjoying as much of spring as I can here where I live in the desert. I have missed reading my blog friends and knowing what is going on in all of your lives, or at least the parts you write about ;).

I have done some decluttering, but mostly I have been remembering to appreciate the beauty that surrounds me right now, not just longing for a day in the future when I have accomplished future goals.

My family has kept me busy lately, I think it is good this way as long as I remember that I have needs too and take time for them. Temperatures are climbing and threatening to soar into the 100's soon here in sunny AZ, but last week we had two glorious days of lovely cooler weather and I spent as much of my time as I could when the teenagers were at school outside on my swing reading and just simply soaking up the last of our springish weather.

Have a glorious day and I will be by to comment and let you know I am thinking of you all, dear blog buddies!
