Birthday Week!!!

A friend of mine from the Hope Floats, has made me feel special every day of this week for my birthday. I've seriously enjoyed every little surprise gift that I would get daily on my front porch. As if she has been reading my mind and remembering everythiing that I needed or wanted thru out the year. She is a special person, that I am so lucky to have met 10 years ago. Once I am out of ideas for any occasion or a birthday, I always think to myself "what would Nada do?" Truly she is the only mom I know with 4 kids under 10, that is so busy helping others and live to make others happy. I beleive she is a true example of what God ment, when he called us to serve each other.

On the morning of my birthday, before I realized myself what day it was, she was knocking on my door, with the yummy, homemade sandwiches for my whole family, homemade baked goodies and a can of coffee. I would never think of that, and how much a person might enjoy  that special visit.

On Monday, my husband noticed a small bag on the front porch, with some awesome, new make-up by Sonia Kashuk.

On Tuesday, was came for some breakfast, and brought another small gift. A unique butter holder, that she purchased on  her recent trip to Canada. She is originallly from Canada, and I've always admired the unique, beautiful accessories that you can find in Canada.


On Wednsday, I discovered another small gift bag, with some handmade gardening labels and herbs to match it. See for yourself, its adorable and I already put them to great use in my garden.


On Thursday, I've noticed a curling iron hanging on my door, that I've been wanting to buy. Plus my old one was just cracked after our recent Hawaii trip.

Today, she stopped by again with the most awesome, personalized to me neckalce. Did I mentioned that she handmade it herself.


So please tell me when does this woman finds the time (with 4 small kids) ideas and craftsmanship??? Huge insiration to me and I bet all of her friends.

Gardening Therapy

Today, I bearly slept. I've been experiencing shortness of breath, especially at night, and have a hard time finding a comfortable position to fall asleep. Plus the baby seems to be wide awake and having a party all night long. So I found myself researching and looking up on my phone more about the "Hunger Games" which I did not know anything about. I was just curious what drives so much youth and adults to these book publications and movie productions. Something I  have not interest too, not will allow my girls to be part of when they are at that age. **** Its my personal choice and opinion after some research.

So by the time the morning rolled in I was exhausted, sleepy and grumpy. Still having difficulty to grasp full lungs of air, I've enjoyed a breakfast with a great friend of mine, to stopped by to visit me. Since it is sunny out and dry I decided to dress up the kids warm and go to out do some long overdue gardening. I've purchased some tulips that needed to be planed in the ground soon. I couldn't tell you how much my girls and I've enjoyed planing, digging in the ground, killing weeds and watering. I think we've been inside for too long and I really needed that gardening therapy and to breath some fresh air. Even thought its cold out, I love the sunshine and seeing my newly planted flowers and herbs.
