Thank you, Mr. Disney, for the gift of Disneyland.

“Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man

who knows the secret of making dreams come true.

This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s.

They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy

and the greatest of these is Confidence.

When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.”

Walt Disney

Happy day of eating candy!


“Love is patient and kind;

love does not envy or boast;

it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way;

it is not irritable or resentful;

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,

but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Owl cupcakes to celebrate 1 year!

 

Craziness!  It’s already been a year! 

The official time I started my blog was actually back in August of 2010, but I wanted to get things just right on the design end before posting.  It’s kind-of a joke when I think of it now because it was FAR from nice and my posts were pretty sad-looking.  I knew they were not awesome, but you have to start somewhere, right?  I did like my first real banner above, though.  I kind-of miss it.

It’s been a great year for this little space.  I started my first month of viewers with just a few of my closest buddies and some obliging family members.  Now, I am astonished at grateful at having over 15,000 people visiting in just a single month!!  Wow, people!  There must be something just a teeny tiny bit likeable goin’ on here.

*blush*

In honor of this special day, I am sharing a cupcake with you all.  Yeah, I kinda thought you would like it too.  My sister actually made these back in April for my Miss F’s birthday I just totally forgot to post them.  I guess it was meant to be.  I saw them on Pinterest and asked my sister to make them and since she’s awesome, she said yes.

Cuties.

I used my neighbor’s freshly cut olive wood firewood for their little perching area.

Thanks for your support and for hanging out with me in this little space.

The community here means a LOT to me.

Thank You, friends!

All I need are some McVities…

Sometimes it takes the flu to make me stop and just…do nothing.  Arg.  Do nothing?  Those are two words which just looks lonesome and rather boring to me.  So, with sickness in our house this week and no time for much, I gave it a try.  At the very least tea needed to be involved and it was actually QUITE lovely.  From now on I will try to do nothing more often…with tea…and next time McVities biscuits (which I got hooked on in England).

Try it!  You might enjoy doing nothing too.

The beginning of something fun

I am so excited to start something awesome that many people have been asking for  me to do for a while.  This blog is dedicated to Julie Marie Carrier, who made me feel like I could actually help people with what I know.  So, you got what you asked for, friends!  Hope this blog brings much love, encouragement, and happiness to you.  Mostly, I am just excited to have a place to store information for my kids to use one day :)  Enjoy!
