My Image Your Image
This is some of the most glorious nature shots I have seen in a long time. I was blown away by the detailed shots that show the beauty that God blesses us with daily that we often take for granted.

Friday 7/28 Blog Prompt - Digital Scrapbook Place
Friday 7/28 Blog Prompt - Digital Scrapbook Place: "Here's one from Laura Lou!
'What advice would you give your much younger self if you could?'"
So much of what I experienced as my younger self makes me my older (and hopefully wiser) self now....but I would definitely say finish college. If I had done that then I wouldn't be struggling to do it now. Other than that, I can see the lessons I learned in each thing that happened to me or that I did and I really wouldnt change much.

Mon 7/10 Blog Prompt - Digital Scrapbook Place
Mon 7/10 Blog Prompt - Digital Scrapbook Place: "Summer: Sunny, warm, picnics, outdoors, sunshine, hot, sticky, sweltering, insects, bugs, camping, swimming, lakes, boating, summer, corn, carnivals, festivals, parades, beach, fun, celebrate, biking, hiking, campfires, pools, outdoors, watermelon, sand castles, ice cream.
"
sweet summer corn on the cob...is there any taste like that...slathered with butter and salt....or icy crisp watermelon...sweet and juicy.....sunny days are here again.
I learned last night on our evening news that we are in the dog days of summer here. Contrary to "pup"ular (ok bad pun) belief, the dog days of summer have nothing to do with canines and how they suffer in the heat but occurs when Sirius (the dog star) is in conjunction with the sun which ancients believed added to the heat of the sun, bringing sticky sweltering weather.... This period usually last from early July to mid August. Isn't it grand that two years in a row, I am in my third trimester during this period....

African American Barbie Dolls
African American Barbie Dolls
As a girl, Barbies were never at top of my christmas wish list. I had a few but I wasnt crazy about her. I preferred books to dolls and it remained that way for years. UntilI turned 25 and was bit by the collecting bug. My collection has grown to 12 Barbies....

For those of us that stayed up too late watching fireworks, tell us about it! Or whatever you did to celebrate Independence day!
My 4th of July was miserable. My oldest six children are outta town with my mom for the week and this was my first holiday without them. We chatted on webcam and they looked to having so much fun. I wanted to be there with them. I ended up eating chinese with my husband and watching the remake of the Amityville Horror.
All in all I am eagerly awaiting Sunday cause my children will be back home!

Independance
Tuesday's Update
For today let's think about "independence". What does it mean to you? Your family? Your life? Your future?
Independance has been a big deal on my mind this past couple weeks. Going to school has been getting harder and harder. But I realize that it is a choice so that I can express my independance. I recently started two home business in order to gain independance from the financial hardships on our family. My children are all in different stages of independance and its bittersweet to watch them grow and change. They all have their own thoughts and opinions and are not shy about expressing them It makes parenting them a challenge but it also tells me that I am raising THINKERS. That they will be able to use their brains to figure out if the path they are following is the right one with out me being there. In my mind thats the best way to prepare them for the future. My younger children (ages 11 months and 22 months) are doing typical toddler things.
