Please keep Dawn, a wonderful blogger at Bee and Rose, and her sweet family in your prayers. Her husband, Chilly as we know him, has deteriorating health which may soon take his life. We love you, Dawn!

Like It?

Like my new header??

My super-creative-wonderful-friend-who-moved-away, Aubri, made it for me!!

Thanks, Aubri!

(Yes, I realize that my backgrounds have changed about 10 times in the past 2 weeks! Just trying to find one that is 'me'. Love this one for the Holidays.)

A Most Pleasant Surprise

I am off to Girls' Camp tomorrow! I am very excited to be going and for the time that I will have to bond with the Young Women-- most especially that two of them are my own! {I am not sure that they are as excited as I am... but there it is.}

Kristy, stopped by with a Girls' Camp Emergency Kit for me! Can you believe it? She is so amazing. Here is the loot.

A couple of Magazines for "down time," a Diet Coke, a super-cute Hair Tie "to hide my grimy hair," Tylenol, a Tide to-go pen, Gum, Mosquito Wipes, Lip Balm, a gel-filled Eye Mask, {woohoo!}, some outrageous Chocolate Mint Cookies {were they supposed to last? Am I supposed to share with my family? she sent 6... hmmmmm...} and the most amazing 'Emergency Chocolate' bar!
--the package says--
For immediate relief of: Chocolate Cravings, Lovesickness, Exam Pressure, Mild Anxiety and Extreme Hunger.
Directions for use: Tear open wraper, break off desired dosage, and consume. Alternatively massage into the affected area. Repeat dosage as required until finished. If symptoms persist consult your local confectioner.

Thanks so much, Kristy!!

Off to Texas Camping in July!!! I think when I get back I will get my head examined!

Anyone want to play a 'guess what will bite me or gross thing that I will come across' game???

Warm and Fuzzy

Imagine my surprise to find a totally sweet award on my blog after a horrendous Monday that WOULD NOT END!

Thanks Holly! You are a sweetie. I am honored.



I would like to pass this award along to a few great gals on the web. Firstly, to Nancy whose funny Faces always make me smile; secondly to Laurie who is a great inspiration as a mother, and finally to Katrina whose blog is always glorious Eye Candy.

Pay It Forward

I am very excited to say that I got the cutest gift from my friend, and pay-it-forward buddy Aubri this week!

Isn't it darling?


She included a plate with my Word of the Year! So very thoughtful.




She has a vinyl lettering business called Adhering Thoughts (shameless plug, plug) :)










I am totally excited about the Lake Champlain All Natural Dark Chocolate bar! And the ever-so-yummy Jocalat Orange Chocolate food bar- magically delicious! mmmmm....



So now for the pay-it-forward part:

I will send out a gift to three fellow bloggers.

They will each send a gift out to three fellow-bloggers; and so on, and so on, and so on!

If you would like to participate, please leave me a comment; then click my email and leave me your information.

Yeah! Fun!

The Sunny Side?
Bloggy fun and prizes... hello?! :D
