A Sign for all Seasons

I am into signs,
I find them useful and I am always on the lookout for good signs.

The day after Thanksgiving I spotted this sign,

What a nice sign! Even if your having a great day, you never know when you'll need a sign like this, so I thought I should share it!
Now you can see it whenever you need to!

A little later I came across this one, slightly messy, but when is love not?



The other day my tea tag was full of good advice.


I can't tell you how many times I have needed to see this sign!


And this morning I found the secret to happiness.


Have a great day!

Happy Thursday!

I got the flu last week, I didn't even get the flu shot, go figure.

Anyway, I bought some flowers to make myself feel better, and it worked. Not only did I feel better, they made me happy!


Of course, I picked the orange flowers. They were so pretty I thought why not share?
So here are some flowers for you!
Sorry you can't smell them, but a picture lasts longer!


Happy Thursday To You!

The Perfect Pumpkin

A few weeks ago we went to Rosa's Berry Farm to pick out a pumpkin for Halloween. I know Halloween is over, but it was such a memorable experience I thought, why not share.

At first I thought a pumpkin,


is a pumpkin



is a pumpkin. Right?



WRONG!
Rosa's Berry Farm had just about every pumpkin that exists.

Green ones,


white ones,



and of course, orange ones.


Orange ones.


and MORE orange ones.


Orange is the color of happiness! So of course we were leaning towards the orange.

Just when we thought we had seen them all, we went to the pumpkin patch,


and found MORE! Imagine picking one.



I knew we would find it eventually, the perfect pumpkin.



The pumpkin that would brightly shine among all the rest.


We explored our options carefully.


Leaving no pumpkin unturned!



Then we found it! The Perfect Pumpkin!
The choice was clear, this was THE pumpkin.

It was more red-orange than orange orange, and kind of shaped like a heart.
Just looking at it made us happy!
We knew at once this was the PERFECT pumpkin for us, so we picked it!;)

Hope you found the perfect pumpkin too!

The Bean turns 3

Today my bean turned three.


It is so hard to believe I have only known him three years. It seems like just yesterday when he was "My Little Being."



In the three short years we have been together
this child has taught me SO much.

For instance:
Sleep is HIGHLY underrated!



PATIENCE IS A SKILL, not a virtue, a skill.



Becoming his mother has taught me, when faced with a big challenge,


I should never underestimate my power to overcome it.


If I am feeling overwhelmed it's OK to ask for help.



That true happiness can be found in the simple things


like the right pair of boots!


He reminds me that change brings good things,


it can be exciting! And it helps us grow.


Then he proves to me that new experiences are not scary chances to fail,


But amazing opportunities to experience life.


He notices


and respects everything on his path.


It usually takes us five times longer to get anywhere,


than it did before he came along.


But when he looks out at the world,


he takes his time and truly sees it.


Unless of course, he's running.



He sees everyone and everything with clear eyes


an open mind



and an open heart, and he truly lives every moment.


He has challenged me to grow further and love deeper then I ever imagined was possible and as I watch him grow and experience life, it is so clear to me that



And it only took him three years to teach me all of that!


What can I say he is AMAZING!
