The beach was beautiful yesterday! The Girls & I had a great time.
Plus, they were super tired last night and both were pretty much knocked out by 8pm!

WW: Carebear

Little Miss Abbie is completely addicted to in love with Carebears right now.
She wants to watch them on tv (which is no easy task - but we do have DVD's!).
She wants them to go night, night with her.
She wants them to go EVERYWHERE with her!

I admit, he is rather cute.
I think it's a he? Wow, I really don't know... I should totally google that.

Without further ado, meet Carebear.
The love of Abbie's life (this week).

And pay no attention to what little clothes she has on. That's just a whole OTHER story.








Oh, when I pulled out the pretzel bag for snack,
she dropped Carebear like a hot potatoe.
HA! Just kidding.. he was still close by but these pictures were too cute not to share!



Happy Wordish Wednesday!

I Heart Faces -- Water

My baby girl, Abbie enjoying a little Summer fun in the sprinkler.

Go check out more cute water entries over at: 

I Sew Lucky Giveaway!

Introducing....

a cute, charming shop on etsy with the most adorable plush owls you've ever seen!

Shop owner, April Foss is a busy little bee being a wife & mother of 5! But, she has graciously taken some time out with me and kindly offered a giveaway.. which, we will get too!
For now, here is a little more about April:

Our recent home renovations have sparked my love for making and creating. Seeing as how I have 3 daughers, I have a tendancy to gravitate towards girlie things. Because their bedrooms can only hold so many of my handmade items, I have decided to broaden my horizons by opening my own Etsy shop and sharing them with you. I hope you take the time to browse through my items that reflect a small piece of me. These little bits of joy are what keeps me sane. :)

Here are some samples of the cute things April offers over at I Sew Lucky:





Aren't they all just a HOOT!
(you knew I wouldn't get through this post without doing that, right?)
I think any of these owls would make the perfect edition to a kids room,
library, office or even your kitchen.

As promised, April has agreed to giveaway a very special owl
from her shop to one of my readers!  
One lucky winner will receive this adorable owl:

Sunday Love / Photo Challenge

We attended our nieces graduation party yesterday.
It was hot!
BUT, they had the most adorable decorations, all hand-made that I just
couldn't stop looking at, admiring and taking pictures of...

{string wrapped around a tree, clothespins to hold pictures}


{mason jars filled with sand & little tea lights}

{tin cans used at vases}



I played around with one shot I took and made this:

What do ya think?
