Fabulous Flowers

So this might just be my most favorite time of year because of all the flowering trees. Yesterday I got out and had some fun with my new camera!

Good Weekend

I'm happy to report, that I've had a good weekend. I worked hard at my Mary Kay business and as a result got to spend lots of time with good friends. My in-laws are still here visiting, so we went shopping together. And the icing on the cake was a delicious brunch at my favorite Sunday local: Annie's. Many people from my dad's side of the family were there for our annual family get-together. Twenty-one in all. That was pretty darn good for the B family!

It's now 8:30 pm, I'm sitting around the TV with my hubby and in-laws catching up on high-lights from the Oscars, and listening to LOTS of Portuguese. Nice and relaxing, but maybe it's time to turn in early? I have a new book on my Kindle that I'm ready to start...

Good night to you all!

Thankful Thursday

Tonight has turned out to be an incredible evening because of some lovely ladies in my life. About a month ago I decided to start my own Mary Kay business, and so each week I have a training meeting. And these meetings offer so much more than just training. Motivation. Support. Hugs and smiles. Encouragement. Suggestions. Supplies. Even though I only just now got home (notice, it's nearly 10pm), I am feeling more energized than ever. The neat thing is that the more time I spend in this company (of women), the more I feel the positive energy rubbing off on me. What a blessing!

Knock, knock...

Who's there?!

So I guess I missed my chance to blog about all things January 2012. Suffice it to say I was B-U-S-Y, mostly because I started my own business. I am excited to share that I am now a Mary Kay consultant! Have any of you ever sold MK before? Just wondering...

Several of my friends have nudged me to get back on here and blog. This is a short one to say the least, but it's late! It past my bedtime, and I should be asleep already. I'll just leave you with one little picture of my current sewing project.

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

What a year it's been! I waved goodbye to my twenties, took some amazing trips with my hubby, finished a quilt that I'm very proud of, watched my little sister get married, got a promotion at work, and received a dSLR camera from Santa. Each of these blessings has come with challenges, but I feel like I've learned a lot and come out the better for them. It's funny, but I feel like it took turning 30 to finally get to know myself. Maybe wisdom really does come with age?! I know that I'm blessed to have a hubby as supportive and loving as B, as well as friends and family to balance my life. I just wouldn't be "me" if it weren't for all of you!

Here's to a happy, healthy new year for you and yours!

Cheers!!

A Cold Hour Outside

A cold front is on its way in, and it's blustery outside! But the sky was so pretty, I braved the weather so that I could play with my camera a bit. I was going to post just one picture, so as not to bore/overwhelm you, but I couldn't quite narrow it down to just one. Considering how many I took, though, five isn't so bad. My favorite is first...

Pinterest giggle...

The English teacher in me just LOVES this one. I couldn't help but chuckle, and then jump right over here to share it with you. Maybe you'll giggle, too!
