Something To Think About: Connected to You

Of course everything in life happens for a reason. Sometimes we walk away stronger. Sometimes we look back and wonder what if. Reality is people come in your life for a reason. Situations happen for a reason. Not sure if we will ever truly understand why. But try to follow your heart. Try to really do what makes you happy. 

I heard our souls are all connected. I truly believe it. I believe that someone from our past life follows us to our current life. I also believe mistakes we made in our past life comes back again so we can change and fix it. So we can surpass it and learn from it and move on to the next thing. 

We all will meet again. We all are connected. Even if it is just someone we met as a pass by or a friend we felt a strong connection to or a spouse or our child. We all have been together at some point for a reason.  Sometimes we are here to help a person we never knew we would help. 

Have you ever met someone you felt you knew forever and didn't know how? Are you truly living the life you want to live?

Vacation Mode... It's been a while!

It's been a very busy summer. We have our house on the market. I have had an amazing work load. My social life seems to keep expanding. I have a great group of mommy friends that I love to hang with. Needless to say I am burnt out. Which really is perfect timing since I am finally taking a well earned vacation. 

Nothing fancy. Just the beach. Fried fish. Homemade ice cream at our favorite ice cream shop. Shopping at mom and pop shops. Watching sunsets and taking walks on the beach. It's my favorite getaway. Cape Cod how you help my creative mind flow and make my heart happy!

I need to unplug, recharge and enjoy my family. I want to embrace every waking second with them. I want to watch my kids play and see how they love and interact without interruptions of work or cleaning the house or taking the dogs out. I want to soak up the sun and breathe. 

Just the thought relaxes me. When was the last time you unplugged?!

She Turned 11 Months Today

She turned 11 months today. She's growing so fast. Tonight she woke up and I just held her. I didn't want it to end. She's my youngest and I hardly tracked her steps like I did with her sisters and there's never enough time in the day to do all I want to do with them. To be their mom and yet be me. It's hard to separate the two. It's hard to find a balance. 

I didn't want her to feel I loved her any less than the others. I don't hold her like I held the others. I am too busy making sure they all are ok. But tonight I wish I could lay in her crib with her to assure her I love her and them all the same. That they're all so special to me. 

She does cheers now. She wants to walk and join her big sisters. She cracks up and her nose crinkles up when she smiles. She even snorts a little. She played catch with herself. Everytime I tried to video tape it she would stop. I wish I could split myself up into four. Be three people for each child and be one person for me.

She turned 11 months today. She's really helped heal me and she brings this calmness out in me. She's given me a gift like that others. She's helped me see life in a new light. 

Celebrating 11 Years

It may not be forever, it may change, it may be good then bad and then good again. But we are trying our best in our marriage. We have created an amazing beautiful family, we have put our trust in each other to be good and be there for each other. We have dealt with cancer, failure, anger and hurt. We have grown through love, healing and success. Good times, Bad times! 11 years and still together, today that's gotta count for something.

Love is not easy, we all want that fairytale, it can only happen if we work on making it happen.

I am forever grateful!

Paint Bar Muse SoNo

Three of my friends are getting married and I wanted to plan a fun girls night different from their bachelorette parties so me and the none brides in the group got together and we did a paint night at Muse in SoNo and it was awesome!

It really is like a "paint by number" where you are walked through a process of making a painting. Each step the instructor walks you through what brush to use. What colors. And if you're stuck you can even ask for help. In between you take little breaks to let the paintings dry. They had a full bar and a menu of "small bites" to order from. 

You really don't need to be talented do this. It's more of a follow instructions type of idea. It really brought out the creative side of us all. I would absolutely go again.
