Random Photo Friday

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend, my friends! I hope you enjoy it with those you hold dear. Here is a look at what this past week was all about around here...

The pups have settled in nicely.

My Mocha continues to be my constant companion, and Kirby continues to wait patiently for Steve to come home every single day.

We had delicious cream pies for dessert, courtesy of my girls. 

Teach your children to bake, my friends.

You will reap the rewards someday. 

We had some friends in for dinner and at the last moment I whipped up this dip.

It is soooo good, and sooo easy.

Just mix together equal parts sour cream and cream cheese, top with your favorite salsa, and bake until bubbly. Then add some shredded cheese on top, and let melt. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

No. You aren't seeing things. That is my laptop playing a workout video.

Madison has encouraged me to grab a yoga mat, and start working out.

I am and I don't hate it!!!!

I am starting slowly, and have no intentions of becoming a total workout person.

Let's face it. Not gonna happen.

Just not who I am.

My new smoothie obsession has already helped to bring my cholesterol down, and by adding some light exercise, I hope to see even better results.

It's funny, you know.

As a mother, you care for and teach and support your children.

One day, you realize that they are actually caring for and teaching and supporting you too.

And that is amazing.

My Madison is my health and beauty advocate. She helps me with makeup, hair, exercise, and nutrition every single day. She challenges and supports me. And I am grateful.

Peyton is my memory. She remembers and reminds me of things I need, appointments I made, and places I need to be. She also helps me run this entire household. I literally could not do what I do without her. And I am grateful.

Rhett is my emotional support. He is very sensitive and very intuitive. I know he is always looking out for me, and is always checking on me. He is also the comic relief to my anxiety. And I am grateful.

My Flynn is my heart. She is my shadow, and has been since the day she was born. She blesses me daily with her smile and giggles and kind heart. She keeps me young, and has given me the opportunity to mother one more time. And for that, I am grateful.

Thanks for visiting!

I am always glad you do.
