A Wise Old Owl Once Said....

Days come and go...they pass us by all too quickly...
With only a clock to tell time...we try to accomplish as much...
Cram as much...into a single 24 hours.

Reminicing upon your previous day...THIS day...
Have you done that which you are pleased with???
If today were to be your last...would you be satisfied???

I know at times i take precious hours...
Awakening moments for granted :(
- To not have said what i wish i would have
- I wasn't the bigger person and forgiven another
- Sleeping in a few hours to only waste the day away
- Not made that phone call...sent that letter...to say hello

These simple things i list for you today...because...
During this time with the hubs...i'm enjoying...
I'm taking in...valuing each and everyday as if it...
Were to be our last. {Uhh...i don't even want to think it}
As a family we can't ask for more...
Ok...well...maybe more time...that's a given though.


{via Google}

Walking away with a better appreciation of life...
That's what it's all about folks.
These simple moments that hit us like a ton of bricks...
Bringing us to our knees...making us crumble...
This is what i live for!!!
To become wiser...older...even if i lose a few hairs :)-

May your day be filled happiness & your heart filled with love

"In quiet moments when you think about it, you recognize
what is critically important in life and what isn't.
Be wise and don't let good things crowd out those
that are essential."

Life From Anothers Perspective....

Hello all readers-

I'm borrowing my wife's blog today.

Shall i start by sharing a few secrets?

A few unknowns that you may not know about her.

- she's a hell of a good cook {when she wants to be}

- as a mother she is incredibly caring & strong

- her fashion sense is impecible

{she picks out my clothes which is awesome for me}

There are things in this life that people are not

naturally good at. This is where your better half

tends to pick up the slack in those areas. It makes

life more enjoyable...to know that you're a team.

I've been through a lot of places in this world

that don't feel like home, but i've learned along the

way to appreciate the ones you love and nothing is

ever trivial - no matter how small. I look at my family

and realize that each day should be cherished.

Not neccessarily thought out or planned.

To the readers of this blog, i think you've found what

i have within my wife. That being her charisma,

loyalty and dedication.

Enjoy the things you have, not want!

- Mr. H

To The Ends Of The Earth To Get To You

Sleep...how i wish for thee!!!
{It's been one of those nights...weeks shall i say}

...Maybe i'm excited to see the hubs!!!...

You see...he is already on a plane...headed this way.
YEP...YEP...my squeeze will be here soon.
Real soon...as in today...early tomorrow...Whoo-hoo :)-
Not knowing when is quite torture i tell ya...
Brutal to say the least.

{I decided to cut myself some bangs}

Well...whenever it may be...I'M READY!!!
Two whole weeks of normalness...
Family together time...vacation time...
I'm gonna get me some sleep time.
{A few hours of Zzz's would be nice}

{via Google...this shirt color is hideous}

This here gal will NOT post daily as normal.

Of time and then have to leave again...Uhhhh!!!

{If you're a newbie...you can read about it HERE}

However...i've got a surprise up my sleeve...

Or do you keep them around to look back on??!!!

With The Click Of A Mouse....

By now...i'm sure you've noticed that i've...

Changed things up a bit around here...

With my new page layout and header :)

As i'm a little...ok...A LOT computer unsavvy...

I was thankful to have Danielle step into my life.

And when i mean step...i pretty much ran into hers.

With an idea in mind but not sure how to create it...

I brought it to her and voila...like magic it appeared.

{She's my very own fairy godmother...mouse in hand}

Seriously folks...she has got some patience to deal...

With the OCD i brought. {I did warn her though}

Easy as pie as we communicated back & forth...

23 emails to be exact...but who's counting right??!!

{Umm Mr. you're hogging the sidewalk...via Google}

Being a girl...i've got sooo many emotions...

Personality traits that i wanted to represent...BUT...

Which would be the BEST to display here for y'all???

That was the million dollar question that pondered.

So i thought & sweated it out like Richard Simmons...

Until i finally decided...hope you like it...I DO!!!

{Of course I HAD to share my LUV of elephants}

Now if i could only figure out how to get the...

Computer to type up posts for me...i'd be set. {{Lol}}

{.....LOVE is in the air.....}

So...you want to get your very own unique page too?

Well shoot...have we got a deal for you!!!

Danielle has offered ALL of my readers 15% off.

Just HOP...click on over to her page and say i sent you.

Beauty Is Truth's Smile....

Oooo the list could go on forever!!!

I personally enjoy getting ready in the morning.

{The primping on my bathroom sink ;)- Lol}

Today i will share ALL my make-up wears...

Even down to the Vaseline. {You heard right}

Here we go from the order i apply it in...

{.....In the middle of a giggle fest.....}

* Fresh faced i first apply a thin layer of vaseline

{This is my moisturizer...i swear by it}

* Next comes MAC NC20 Studio Fix fluid SPF 15

{Yep...yep...i stopped tanning}

* MAC "Point Black" Liquidlast liner
* Maybelline "Colossal" Volum' Express mascara

{Classic Black in color...the BEST ever!!!}

* MAC "Cork" eyeshadow applied to eyebrows

{So they appear & look thicker...fills in space}

* MAC "Blushbaby" Sheertone blush

* Clinique "Superbalm" for my lips

Voila...i'm ready to step out into the world.

There are NO secrets to my applying techniques.

I will say though that everyones skin is different...

And which products or colors you use may vary.

As these i've given to you...they might not work.

But for MANY...majority...MAC is awesome!!!

a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and

integrity can do a great deal to make a woman

beautiful."

Monday Musings....

HE SAID...SHE SAID:

The trouble these days amongst others...

Is that of gossip.

{Words spread that are false and untrue}

To have a friend...colleague...family member...

Believe such lies is awful.

Even more so to see that they believe the rumor.

These people should know better...

That you would never say or do such things.

How come they don't come to you first???

{Ashley Olsen via Google}

Perhaps it's because society thrives on drama...

A good JUICY story to stir things up.

Whatever be the case...IT IS WRONG!!!

And as such...confrontation soon ensues.

It can be tough...but getting to the bottom of it...

You SHOULD and have every right.

"While gossip among women is universally

ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men,

especially if it is about women, is called theory,

or idea, or fact."

Freaky Friday....

Welcome all to my newest edition...

.......FREAKY FRIDAY.......

Ever have one of those days...moments where...

You wish you could magically be someone else?

Shoot...this happens to me ALL the time!!!

{H.E.L.L.O. insert lightbulb...ding...ding}

So...i'm starting a new weekly post dedicated...

Just to these moments....now lets get started.

Hmmm...just yesterday how i wish...

I could have been the lovely Victoria Beckham.

{The one and only...POSH!!!}

{images via Google}

See...work was H.E. double hockey sticks...

And well...i was dreamin' of my FIDM days.

This gal however...wouldn't have put up with...

Or taken the shiznit i encountered.

{Insert the cold glare and fashionable attire}

Whatever would i do on such a day...Hmm...

I wonder...not hard at all to imagine.

{...A girls gotta get her swing on ;)-...}

With a booming fashion line & supportive family-

This gals got it made.

{Lunch with these boys...YES PLEASE!!!}

Fun in the sun...shopping & LOTS of paparazzi...

I'm gonna "Bend It Like Beckham"...

With their bank account of course :)-

psychiatrist."

What Dreams Are Made Of

As a mother...wife...daughter...sister...friend...

I couldn't imagine my life being any different.

{.....Let me explain shall i.....}

As a child...i had a dream {Oh boy it was BIG}...

This dream i had... I ACHIEVED...but...

When life came at me in the blink of an eye...

.....I WAS READY FOR IT.....

So i grabbed those reins and held on tight!!!

This dream of mine...took a back seat.

{Like so many other things}

Not second guessing my decision...

NOT EVEN ONCE...for i knew in my heart...

That this is what God had intended to happen.

This is where i was to be...HERE and NOW!!!

Down the road of life...we all may have regrets...

Or wish that we could change the past.

But...when it comes down to it...would you???

I mean...the person you are today...

This is who you have become because of these...

Struggles...circumstances you find yourself in.

It makes us stronger...wiser...more prepared...

To take on anything that comes our way.

"It is our choices that show what we truly are,

far more than our abilities."

- Joanne Kathleen Rowling

With A Little Pixie Dust....

Having one of THOSE days are we??!!!

{Mmmm i want some cake....via Google}

When i'm feeling a little frazzled...

To the point where i'm at my wits end...

I close my eyes and think of happy thoughts.

{Yes...like Peter Pan...only i CAN'T fly...Boo}

Get me to my happy place like NOW!!!

I DON'T want to pull out my hair...bite my nails-

Grind my teeth or stomp my feet.

{I'm NOT Naomi Campbell}

Remain calm & in control at ALL times.

Just think of the flight attendant speech...

Only it's life and you're in the cockpit flyin'.

- If you need oxygen...BREATHE

- If you need an exit...head to the nearest

- Stay seated...haha...not gonna hold me down

best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your

energy into something positive."

Two Peas In A Pod....

Excuse my french...but marriage these days is...
.....FUCKING ROUGH!!!.....
With all the negativity surrounding us...
And the divorce rates going sky high...
Where's the "Pleasantville days?"
The days of past where it actually meant...
Something to take your vows.
To have the respect for one another...
The patience to sit & talk civilized face to face.
{Dare i say they are gone?}

No Siree-BOB...these days MUST remain in tact.
We MUST find our happy place and bring it!!!


{NO "War of the Roses" here folks}

Make each day a joy to wake-up to...
Find the love you saw in each other from day 1.
Take the extra second to create a moment...
One that will stay with you throughout the day.

Life may be hectic...but you MUST remember...
That your relationship comes first.
No backseat for this...as it's a PRIORITY!!!
You wouldn't want your feet without shoes...
As your heart can't go without LOVE ♥

"Marriage is like the army. Everybody
complains, but you'd be surprised at how
many re-enlist."

and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you
might as well enjoy the process. Take the
opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find
the cause of your problem and eliminate it.
Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent
example of being human."
