scrap-worthy indeed.
someday it will make its way to my scrapbook.

unusually sweet weather

day 25 thru 28....

she is "unusual"....
b/c she is too cute for her own good...
even when she growls....
even when she screams high notes out of the blue...
even when she is cranky b/c she's sleepy....
she is just darn cute, i tell ya!

a congratulations gift at "12 o'clock" for a friend's clinic 1st yr anniversary...

"something sweet" for snacking....
also today is especially sweet b/c our eldest daughter, ashley, is here for the summer...
yey-yah!

"the weather today" is sunny & hot here in edwards...
and today/tonite maiya comes back home...

listening to pandora while i'm posting this...
the missy elliot station....
takes me back in time.
yey-yah!

a song that really took me back...
me & some friends danced to it for my sis's 16th wedding anniversary....
i love to dance!

she's pretty in pink + techie + something new

day 22 thru 24...

had to do this in color of course...
she's very very pretty in "pink"...
but then again she is pretty in everything...

what would the kiddos nowadays do without "technology"
????
they would probably say...."i would die without my iphone/smartphone/laptop, etc."
kiddos nowaydays won't ever know that there was a world without these thangz...
sorry my babiez....
but you are spoiled...
so be grateful!

and here's "something new" for selene...
bought her 2 more sippy cups...
she is doing fine during the day with it...
bottle before bedtime...
but now..
gotta start weening her off before bedtime...
wish us luck.

today:

• worked out...
• load of laundry, actually 2...
• straightened up the house as best i could while selene naps...
• post to my blog finally...
• pick up maiya from school...
• drop her off for taekwondo...
• meet up with a friend at the pool around 330ish while maiya is at taekwondo, it'll just be me & selene...
• for dinner, hotdogs as per maiya's request

aaaahhhh....

the life of a sahm.

i'm catching up...

sheez...
i'm so behind on posting....

here is day 16 thru today...

day 16:  what i'm reading

day 17:  snack

day 18:  something i made (well i made these awhile back)

day 19:  favorite place (for my selene to nap)

day 20:  something i can't live without (hey, ya gotta have it to eat & live right?)

day 21:  where i stand (this was right before my jog)

something i've got to get off my chest for a bit....

first off, i would like to say thank you to all who follow my blog.
i also appreciate it even more when i get positive comments.
i try my best to keep this thing on a positive note even when i have a bad day.
but when something really makes me upset or i just have to vent when i have a bad day or something really bothers me...
well...
i'll vent.
life has its ups & downs.

regarding comments....
i monitor all of them and for the most part, 99.9% of the time...
it's great & positive.
then there is the .1% that i read...
that never ever get posted on my comments block...
i decide to delete them or they don't "pass my test" of being constructive criticism
i can take criticism..
but when it's not "constructive" & positive or there are "certain words" one uses that's hurtful...
then one should not get offended that i don't post them on here.
hope you understand.

and that's all i got to say about that.

peace!

love reading... not novels

day 15, "love"
selene is still going thru separation anxiety w/ me...
but luckily there are some times when she "allows" others to take care of her...
lol...
she can be picky i guess.
this day my hubby was able to feed her breakfast...
a bonding moment...=)

day 16, "what you're reading"
and this is what i'm currently reading....

i am not a novel reader.
i'd rather read finance stuff & some "life" stuff books.
i love suze orman.
i love her shows and make sure to record it every saturday nite.
she is one of the peepz i would love to meet in person.
much respect for her.
as she always says...
"people first, then money, then things."
so true.

when the grass is greener

it's day 14 for my photo-a-day share, "grass"

of course you can't see the green...
but believe me it is even in this b&w photo...

"lil big rollz" my maiya says.
aren't they cute?
oh yeah..
the emphasis is suppose to be on the grass...
duh!
but don't you think her chu-bunky legs are soooo cute?
lol!

we love her so.

i am mom

day 13, "mom"

i am mom to 3 girlz...
our eldest lives in idaho & she'll be with us in 14 days.
yey-yah!
we miss & love you ashley!

but for now...

here's my photo-a-day share...

got a lovely morning greeting from my hubby & selene,
then maiya brought me a milk coffee while i was still in bed watching some supernanny,
then she came in with 3 chocolate chip pancakes, 3 turkey bacons & some syrup (thanks to my hubby for cooking it!)
then brushed my teeth and washed my face,
put away a load of laundry,
then i was surprised by a huge drawing card from maiya,
a card, nice storage boxes & a storage cart i've wanted from my hubby with a card,
then a nice "mommy i want you" from selene.
chilled and watched hope floats and some other tv stuff.
hubby is gonna cook up some enchiladas for dinner later!
yumm-o!
i am a lucky mama!

happy mama'z day to all mama'z!

some "me" time

this is "something that makes me happy"...
some quiet "me" time....
my hubby took the girlz out shopping for paint and to give me a break...
thanks babez!!!
got to scrap a card, clean my scrap area & living room, vacuumed a lil bit..
now time for a post of day 12 photo-a-day share....

i wish for a whole day next time.
i can either b.s.; scrap, organize & file, or do wuteva!
oh "quiet me time" i do appreciate you!

my office, yeah

besides my scrap area...
this is my other office...

my "kitchen"...
w/c is also day 11 photo-a-day share...

well this is one of the corners of this huge kitchen...
lots of counter space...
lots of drawers & cabinets...
a nice window with a view of some of the trees...
a big pantry...
can you believe this is base housing?
yeah...
that's what i said.
wish all kitchens were this size!
a few changes that i would do if i could:

• granite counters
• stainless steel appliances
• a nice backsplash
• and some wood floors
• nicer wood cabinets
• more organized cabinets & drawers
• and opened to the whole house

and it would be a perfecto kitchen!
a girl can dream, right?
