Pucker up Princess

"Sometimes you gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find your Prince Charming."



In my case I thank GOD I have a thing for lip gloss and antibacterial wipes cause good lord, my lips are starting to get real chapped. Hmmphhh!



Well now that, that's out I feel much better! lol!

Sometimes, one wonders why they have to "kiss so many frogs" so to speak, before they find that one that will make them feel all "butterfies in your tummy; heart skip a beat and take your breath away" feeling. Even though I am a strong, confident, intelligent woman, I am sometimes taken back and wonder what I did wrong. But then I start thinking, there's nothing wrong with me at all. Hmmmm...

Maybe I'm getting too "picky" in my old age or maybe it's just I know what I want in a relationship, in a man and am not willing to settle for anything but what I want. Sheesh, almost sound like a toddler having a temper tantrum there...hehehe! I will admit though, that I do sometimes forget what I want and do start to settle because some days it's just so darn hard to wake up and drag your butt out of bed, knowing its you against the world for another go. Mind you I am starting to enjoy tossling the days around but at some point you do want what everyone around you has.

My Knight in Shining Armour is out there, I just need to weed through the Retards in Tinfoil to find him. And until I find my Knight in Shining Armour, these little princes will do just fine.



And these fine members of the court.

Happy Tuesday all!

Slight delay

Well, I should be basking in the sun of the Mayan Riveria and nursing a sunburn by now, but we ran into a slight hiccup. We won't be going to the Mayan but to Cabo San Lucas...can't wait!! Just as good if not better.

We leave tomorrow. For a week. Can we say EXCITED!! It's been almost 2 years since I've had a REAL holiday; no kids, no work, no worries.

I found this the other day. It's quite fitting, especially after you've had 2 kids and that rock solid body I had once upon a time, over a decade ago, existed.



I will so be hooking up with Photoshop when I get home so I don't scare you all with the bikini body I think I have...bwahahaha!

Chat with you all when I get back!

4 more sleeps

Oh how I hope these next four sleeps go by fast. Why you ask? It's because I am going on vacation to the Mayan Riveria and the kicker ITS FOR 10 DAYS!!!! Woohoo!!

10 Glorious Days of

- no kids
- no work
- no cell phones
- no computers to access work emails (well there is Wi-Fi but I am not even going to look)
- no dog
- no meals to cook...

Just good ol' fashion R&R with lots of laughs, smiles and memories!

This is where we will be staying the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort I am so pumped! Can't wait to lounge around on the beach, have me-self a couple yummy margaritas and probably a couple more. Hee!!

Speaking of Aero, here she is in some more of her photo glory.





Then I have to add just a little bit of "cheese" as my boys are full of it lol!

Furry Baby Girl

Well, shouldn't say she's really that dumb...she's too smart for her own good, is what seems to be her issue. She's a spiteful, cunning little creature that loves to push her mama and daddy over the edge some days...but she's learning. Slowly. lol!

But we love her more and more each day. It's hard to believe the little ball of fur that took up no more than a couple squares on the floor is now a 40 lb ball of slobber and paws.

catching up

Pretty low key these days...sick kids, work is insane, and the darn snow returned. Just some random photos for your enjoyment.

Jesus replied, "You do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand." John 13:7

I am by no means a religious person. I lost my way a long time ago. But I still find comfort in words spoken from the bible. Somehow it heals a piece of me.

My heart hangs heavy these past few days. I find myself questioning why it is that life can be so rewarding but yet so cruel at the same time? Is it to remind us that no matter how good things are in life, that in the blink of an eye it can be destroyed in seconds? Is it to punish us for our own happiness while there is so much pain and anguish around the world?

A couple days ago my girlfriend was handed a sentance no parent should ever have to experience. She and her husband, on Friday, will be burying her son. A beautiful young man with a heart of gold like his mother and an all around kid that everyone liked and loved. I never got to meet her son, but from reading about him he was amazing boy who was full of life and loved life. I pray she finds peace in the coming days and comfort in the memories and the knowledge he will always be with her, watching from above and when needed will give her the most gentle of kisses just to let her know he's not far.

My new friend and fellow blogger, Melissa over at Champagne Wishes wrote a post today about "A Rose by any other name" which triggered this post today. She's finding that God is testing her patience in regards to the challenges life has given her. She portrays beautiful white roses in her post, and mentions that it's a true test to "stop and smell the roses".

Life is so short and so fragile. Make the most of it...give hugs and kisses when you can, if you have to steal them; forgive those who need forgiveness and be forgiven; never leave an argument unfinished without reconciliation and tell those you love that you love them; for you never know when you will get those chances again.

Tomorrow will be my first deep breath of those flowers, cause those that matter are worth every sniff.







Take the time to smell the roses and you will be glad you did.

I leave you with this,

"My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh." Proverbs 4:20-22

I'm Back, Back in the New York Groove

Well don't know if it's quite New York, but Sherwood Park will do just fine for now.

It's been awhile my friends...kind of went off radar for awhile. Seems that work, the boys and life took over what I did for fun and my SANITY; but ultimately found that pressuring myself to learn posed shots was back firing on me. I was attempting to go "outside the box" and comfort zone and it wasn't working for me. I am natural setting, capturing life as it happens kind of gal, so what would any sane woman do you ask? Well it's simple silly, I broke out the camera this past weekend in Vancouver while I was out there and loved getting back to how I love to shoot - everything random and natural; like me!!

All of the photos have been unedited cause I'm just plain lazy lol















In hopes you don't lose your groove, check this out. It will definitely get ya movin'!
