hey.

my

little peanut butter cup will be leaving the bunny nest in 5 very short months.

insert sad sad sad face, here.

when you have your children you can't wait.

you can't wait for them to 

walk. 

then they never stop.

you can't wait for them to talk.

then they never stop.

you can't wait for them to sleep the night.

then they do that too.

you can't wait for that first day of school. 

then look. 

my teeny weeny baby girl is getting ready to leave.

bless her sweet stinkin heart.

i want my little baby doll back....the one who ALWAYS asked for shoes for her bday...
instead of toys....(hhhmmm see a pattern like mama like daughter?)

when she was a little girl she said i could go with her to her prom.....

do you think she still means that?

happy thoughts. happy thursday!

while perusing some of my fav blogs, i came across an

amazing post.

not to mention some absolutely amazing photography.....

have i mentioned how much i want a new camera? (side note....)

but back to balance..

teresa over at blooming on bainbridge

has posted some really great points about balance in our life.

i think too many times we go thru life

waiting for happiness,

wishing for dreams,

hoping for 'more'.....instead

of enjoying life to the fullest each day, we always want more.

the days are not long enough, our lists become longer,

we stress over what we feel are our inadequacies.

i am trying to find balance. i want to find that feel good feeling of enjoying

my life to its full capabilities. i want to live with NO regret.

so in 100 years, (because of course i will still be alive, due to

science technology)....

i can look back and reflect.....

saying i lived my life. i did things that made ME and my family happy.

i want to pursue my dreams and put

energy into things that clearly deserve my energies.

hop on over to teresa's amazing blog post

and let me know what you think.

feel free to take her button and show the world you are doing

YOUR best to find balance within!!!

life is a wonderful thing.

enjoy it and be the best you can be!

love and hugs,
