Be Happy

Nothing makes happier than playing in the dirt & earthing except

God, my husband, the kids, being with my friends, coffee, food, sunshine...

I guess a few things do make me happier!

But I do love getting my hands dirty. I have even stopped wearing garden gloves when pushing dirt around. I always love the dirt under my nails and feeling the earth!

I recently planted Lantana, a neighbor suggested it and boy does it look pretty.

I love the colors! They make me happy!

Allison bought this for me! I love her to pieces! She bought it from our neighbor friends that were having a yard sale. Then Allison & Scotty had a small yard sale then the neighbor friends, back & forth for about a week. 

Silly kids have been passing the same dollar around for a week now. At least they are learning about trading dollars & money.

The sun came out and shined its beauty on my newly planted rainbow flowers! Nothing makes me happier :)

Back to School x2

Well a few months have passed since I last published anything, time gets away so quickly. I had to enjoy summer break with the kids and get in the swing of owning a business, then today I had to get in the teacher mode since we started school today...YAY!

We now have a kindergartener

and a second grader

How did that happen so quickly?

Scotty had to ham it up a bit for the photos. I know it really looks like he is going to have the best time in his life but about a couple of hours of arts & crafts and the letter A he had his first melt down of the day (it was lego time for a bit)

getting ready to start the morning & they had to look stylish, right?

Just love Allisons rainbow glasses - she is very kawaii right now :)

I do have to give Allison props for being a huge help to me today! Since she has a year of homeschooling under her belt she has got it down so she is really helping out with Scotty. She is officially his 2nd grade buddy so they work on projects together, she reads to him & helps him with little things like counting & spelling.

We got all our subjects finished with only 3 melt downs from Scotty ( I really don't think he likes not playing legos all day)

I survived the day even though I had hardly any sleep and was up really early -  thank God for caffeine!

I am now going to rest cause I am tired and I still have to think of what to make for dinner.

I hope all of you had a wonderful first day of school - home schooling or not!

What was your favorite thing about the first day back?

I do have to mention that I posted on Facebook that I will be making some changes. I have been inspired and I am rolling with it. A little nervous about it but what do I have to fear besides God? He is the one who is guiding me so I might as well give it a shot, right? 

Now I'm off to rest & by that I mean reading blogs and searching for easy recipes I can cook in my sleep :)
