What a beautiful evening for a walk on the beach!

 It's nights like this that make me go....
"Wow! I can't believe we *get* to live here!"

Perspective

Isn't interesting how you can be having one the worst days...  you know: the bread doesn't rise,and/or sticks to the pan... the muffins burn... the kid(s) are unruly, whiny and disobedient... laundry (both clean & dirty) are piled... and the house is in shambles...  ??

This Friday, July 9th, is Chick-fil-A's annual Cow Appreciation Day!   So what does this mean to you? FREE food!!! :)  All you have to do is....

That's right...  go into your local Chick-fil-A restaurant**, dressed up like a cow, and you will receive a FREE Chick-fil-A (combo) meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner)!!. ~ For those "too chicken" to wear full cow costumes, Chick-fil-A will award a complimentary entree to customers partially dressed in cow attire, such as a cow-spotted scarf, purse, hat or other accessory. :-)

Happy International Midwifes Day!!!

“Many Western doctors hold the belief that we can improve everything, even natural childbirth in a healthy woman. This philosophy is the philosophy of people who think it deplorable that they were not consulted at the creation of Eve, because they would have done a better job.”

Kloosterman

“The experience profoundly changed my perspective. In the hospital, I hadn't perceived the anxiety and foreboding that permeated birth until I experienced the impact of its absence among the midwives. The peace, wonder, and intimacy were infinitely greater. What a compelling difference!”

~Heidi Rinehart

Thank you Harmony... and ALL our local and international midwives, for all that you do, each day in order to turn birth experiences into the most wonderful, magical, and special days of our lives!!!!! My peaceful pregnancy and amazing birth would never have happened, if it wasn't for YOU! ♥ Our family's life is forever changed because of you... and we are SO grateful!

Appreciation!

I have a chores schedule I try to stay on top of... so that ideally, things around the house never really have a chance to get noticeably dirty, before they're cleaned again. Unfortunately, this also means it's very easy to have said actions taken advantage of... as it's never not really obvious when I do do them... other than the fact they never get dirty. (Not that I expect trumpets & roses every time I do stuff around the house... I realize it's "my job", and that would be silly. - But it *is* nice to know you're appreciated, every *once* in a while.)

Well, the other day, I woke up to this on the bathroom mirror...

It *was* noticed & appreciated... ::warm fuzzies::
