Crazy weather here!

The weather lately has been crazy. Just Wednesday, it was around 60 degrees, beautiful, sunny, got me all excited for spring! 

The next day, on Valentine's day we wake up to everything covered in snow and ice! Now tomorrow it's supposed to be 65 degrees, we're gonna grill out, crazy huh? Asher loves the snow now, he loves sledding with Dad. He lies on his tummy and he says "go...go...go...go" while kicking his legs, dad pulls him as fast as he can.

            

The loves of my life!

He's kind, compassionate, soft-spoken, sexy, strong, a cuddler, dedicated, smart, maticulous, funny, loving, hard-working, handsome, sweet, selfless, faithful,trusting, merciful, creative, sentimental, protective, a softy, and the most amazing man ever! I am grateful he wanted to marry me, have my child (hopefully children) and that he puts up with my craziness and loves it!

My other love? He's alot like his father: sweet, sensitive, a cuddler, hugger, kisser, singer, giggler, playful, sentimental, adorable, caring, smart, helper, soft-spoken, creative, my little man, my litte sidekick, I'm the luckiest mom on the planet! 

disclaimer: I realized I am extremely blessed. And that I don't deserve what I've been given, I'm so grateful. Please keep in mind that I don't believe Valentine's Day is about having a significant other, it's about sharing love with people around you. While we don't need an excuse, like a special day, we should love others every day!

Please keep in mind too that there are many people who have a difficult time with Valentine's Day and I've heard that suicide rates are high the day before, because society puts so much emphasis on needing to have someone in your life. So please reach out to someone today, even if it's a smile or a compliment to the most unsuspecting person!

He's a little man!

Oh, where does the time go? I guess other mom's are right...it feels like just yesterday that he was still nursing and now we are on the verge of potty training! 

I was eating lunch with a friend of mine, whose daughter is about the same age. It was her birthday and we were venting over our common ailment, stress of mommyhood. The kiddos were both just getting over a cold that left them both cranky and clingy, and we were about to pull our hair out, as both are kids were tired, ready for naptime and about to throw tantrums. A lady stops by our table, she says "I just have to tell you, you guys look so cute over here with your babies, I was just admiring you, they are so sweet!" My friend and I looked at each other, I knew she was thinking what I was thinking, you can't mean us right, cuz we are about ready to scream!

The lady said "It seems like just yesterday, my baby was that little, now she's 11!" We smiled at her, and then out from that ladies mouth, spoke the most perfect thing, I don't think I will ever forget, it was just what we needed. She said "when I was a young mom and stressed out, another woman told me 'the days are long but the years are short'."

And that lady left us shortly after that.

The days are long, but the years are short!

awwww. Thank you for that, strange lady! I really needed that. Now I say that to myself, whenever I think I cannot go on! Hope you enjoy too!

Here's my little boy helping to unload the dishwasher:

Wrestling with his best friend Maya: 

10 days and counting...

We will be headed for Hawaii in Ten days!!! I can't wait, I thought I would post a nice picture to remind myself that bikini weather is approaching!

I am inviting you to join me in spirit, since you cannot all come with me! :)

simplify

Hey all!

I've decided to simplify the design of my blog, it was beginning to bother me. Maybe it was too cluttery, or not feng shui...whatever the deeper meaning behind it, here it is! Do you like it? I have a question though, my computer screen at home is widescreen, so I was wondering on regular full screens how this blog shows up. Does it fit your screen? Because if it doesn't, I will change it to another simple layout. Anyway, that was random, I know. I am going to be a better blogger and blog about random things, just for the sake of blogging, because I realize that people still like to read about randomness. Plus we have some exciting things coming up worth blogging about. Okay, mamas, let me know if this format fits your screen, that's all for now! Also, does the playlist on the right drive you crazy? Or do you actually like the music? Please let me know!

What's your personality painting?

I found this on Lori's sight, who got it from Steph, who got it from Jen. Do you think this painting reflects my personality? Well, it was fun anyway! Click the link below to do it for yourself. Everyone's seems to be different.
