Ten Things I Love About My Life

This is something I think I will hang up somewhere to remind me to be thankful everyday...even the days that seem to never go right!



1. My beautiful children...they are wonderful little people. I treasure them. They make me smile each and every day. Of course they are not perfect, none of us are but I would not change them for a minute. They are truely a blessing.



2. My husband...I love him with all my heart.

3. Our family...we are blessed to have all of our family healthy. The kids are able to make some
wonderful memories with their grandparents.

4. Our home...we have a very nice and comfortable home. I never want to move!

5. Friends...I have some amazing friends. I love them all!

6. Being able to stay home with my children...I LOVE watching them change and grow. To be able to stay home with them is one of the best things that I could ever ask for.

7. Our dogs...they are part of our family!

8.My neighborhood...we moved into this neighborhood last year and it is everything I had hoped it would be.

9. My garden...digging in the dirt is like therapy for me. I enjoy planting my flowers and then seeing them everyday puts a smile on my face. We are planting a vegtable garden tomorrow!

10. Being healthy and able to run and play with my children each and every day.

Your turn...you have officially been tagged!

Pedicures

My best friend took me out for dinner and a pedicure tonight to celebrate my birthday. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE pedicures??? If you have never had one you do not know what you are missing. I have soft new feet tonight with bright pink nail polish! Perfect for this weather and all the cute shoes to wear.

I would like to have enough money to be able to get a pedicure once a week....

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! We met the family for a nice lunch. Had a great time. Friday was my birthday so it was a very busy weekend. I will be adding more and more to the store this week...stay tuned.

Due and Sprout Maternity Tee's

These t-shirts from Due and Sprout make me wish I was preggo again...(of course minus the all day sickness, throwing up, swollen ankles, 55 pounds I gained, you get the idea). Pregnancy was not good to me BUT I would love to have one of these tee's if I decide to do it again! :)

I have a variety of colors and styles in my store but here are a couple to get a peek. Go take a look at some more... www.ladybugsandlilypads.com

Ok so it isn't Thursday

Ok so it isn't Thursday BUT I found this blog and she had a wonderful post about crockpots and slowcooking....I LOVE LOVE LOVE crockpot cooking. One, it is easy and two, everything tastes good in a crockpot...

Here is my crockpot recipe. I do not know what it is called but it is yummy!!

Add a can of black beans, can of corn, jar of salsa, pack of taco seasoning, and a tiny bit of water. Mix it all up and then put some chicken in. You can put chicken breasts or cut up pieces of chicken. Let it cook on high for at least 4-6 hours. One hour before you are ready to eat, add a package of cream cheese.

If you made it with chicken breasts then serve it over rice and if you used the cut up chicken you could even make burritos.

Very yummy!

I added new summer clothes from Sarah Louise and Dani (a division of Sarah Louise). Beautiful items and such a wonderful quality. These are two of my favorites...the hand smocked bishop dress and this boys romper. There are many more to look at...
