Right Here, Right Now

-
Current temperature on the farm is a windy 40 degrees and on the rise. By tomorrow we're forecasted to be in the 60's with sun.  I'm sure winter will wrap us in her icy grip at least one more time, but for now I'm leaving the coat in my closet and trading boots for slip-ons without socks.

Easter reads
One of the great things about holidays is the variety of children's books that come along with them.  Today I pulled out all our Easter books and put away the Valentine books.  After a year of being in the closet the kids are excited to look at and read their "new" books.  It's also nice for Scott and I to have some new reading material to read to them.  Do you have any children's Easter stories your child loves?  I'm always looking to grow their library!!

Welcome to the family
Spring is right around the corner and stores are starting to run some great sales on their winter items.  Yesterday I realized it was time for a brown boot update!  Macy's was running a sale and I scored a pair of Carlos Santana boots, regularly $167 for $55.  Even though I'm officially over boots for this season I will be more then ready to wear them when October rolls around and the world is saturated with all things pumpkin flavored.  
I heart NARS lip pencil
Last September I went to Sephora and received my free birthday gift for being one of their Beauty Insider members.  It was a great set of pencil lipsticks called NARS.  I used the Rikugien, Satin Lip Pencil pretty quickly and while I loved the color and feel, I was disappointed by the little amount of lipstick the product contained.  Fast forward to this week when I learned you can actually sharpen the pencil.  Why didn't I attempt to sharpen it sooner??

All boy
So last night as I watched my boy play on the floor with his Megabloks, I overheard him say "I need to defuse this bomb."  As he noticed me watching him play he said, "Can you call me McGuyver?"  I guess as long as we aren't going to the airport or a federal building anytime in the near future his bomb talk is ok.
All girl

And then there's little gal.  She loves to watch the NetFit video when I work-out.  Not because she enjoys working out, but because she likes "Carl" the instructor.  Some days when I tell her she can watch a show, she asks to watch Carl.  Looks like Doc McStuffins has been replaced by a body builder.  I never saw that coming.

Have a great weekend!!

    Love your new boots! Also, I had no idea you could SHARPEN those lip pencils. I almost threw mine away this week because I was running out and figured it was a TINY sample. Thank you for clarifying :) Our favorite Easter books are - The Country Bunny, Llama Llama Easter, Bunny Roo I love you and Goodnight Little Love. Thanks for the reminder to pull out our Easter books.

      Thank you!! My regular eye liner sharpen wasn't big enough, so I had to locate my Clinque sharpener which was larger. Thank you for the book recommendations! Those are great Easter basket items!!!

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the 4-wheele

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no
