Of The Things We Can’t Control
Over the last month I have learned:
That being the bigger person isn’t always the right thing to do.
That doing the right thing isn’t always the good thing. Read more

She Has More Color Than a Box of Crayolas
So last night, when most people are sleeping, I was tending baby. When baby went to sleep I decided to indulge my impulsive behaviors and color my hair! I threw together a poll and I got a few people to vote.
Here is what the results were as of two minutes ago:
So I was thinking going Dirty Blonde with some purple OR Dark Brown with some pink or yellow. I asked Hubster what he thought while he was somewhat lucid. His response, “RED.”
This is my red before:
Hey I'm Sick Gimme a Break
Still sick, but I am getting better slowly. So here is the process that I went through:
Stripping the Red
Coloring and "Dipping."
This Morning,See Sickly 
Good Look somewhat Styled
So, I didn’t quite go Blonde or Brunette. I actually am a GINGER! Very Strawberry Blonde with a few sections dipped in deep purple.
What do you think?
Thank you all for participating and being so awesome! Hope I didn’t disappoint even if I pulled a fast one outta left field on you!

Living Dreams Within Dreams
Smells like Rain
To say I went on vacation would be a dream. With much ado I have worked harder in the last few weeks than I have since summer. Actually, summer is never that bad because it is SUMMER; hot, fun, and most importantly SUNNY! Well it has been Spring Break here. YAY! Four boys at home get some much needed R&R in the rain. Wait. What?! Yes, that is right the freakin rain.
The Last Week +
So, with my boys rain does not equal fun UNLESS there is not thunder and lightning involved. There has been LOTS of thunder and lightning involved. Plus since the inclement in weather, our satellite and internet has been haywire. So this week I have had to be VERY creative and VERY interactive to keep the cabin fever at bay and keep the boys from going Lord of The Flies on each other. Read more

Conversations with God
Sometimes talking to God is simply expressing yourself in the truest forms to anything or anyone listening. The words of spirituality and soul can be as simple as tears falling, a smile trying to break free, or a baby making sense of the world. Read more

I warn you, this is another photo story and I took a bagazillion pictures. I’ll try to keep the text short and sweet. I’m still trying to figure out how I like best to DO this photo story idea. I mean I started out with just one picture a post with a suggestive title implying the creation of a story in your mind. I have tried to add more context to them, just haven’t found that balance and perfect formula for what I want vs what you want. Any suggestions PLEASE! So, enjoy!

Who Says Dollhouses Are Just For Girls
Christmas came and went and suddenly my boys had a million new cars, superheros, transformers, and stuff. We avoiding getting them such because:
1. We knew everyone else would be getting them such things.
2. We like being the awful parents who get their children clothing, musical instruments, and building toys.
Anyway, I have a friend, Tiffany,who made her daughter a doll house for Christmas. And, I must say it was bitchin. I wanted it for ME! Her wee one is about the Irish Twin’s age and it got me thinking… Why can’t they have a nice pad? They resort to bookshelves, tables, under the beds, etc. Which yes is great for the imagination, it is really bad for prolonging the use of our furniture.
Tiffany's Awesome Dollhouse
Her girlie’s Doll house has everything. White picket fence, pictures, cabinets… The WORKS! But, to be fair, that is part of being a girl. Barbie, Bratz, and other doll types sell plenty of things that make a doll house AWESOME.

So, what would you do to make a boy’s doll house??
I put my thinker into action taking divine inspiration from Ms. Tiffany’s house and translated it into a boy’s doll house:
