I won a Contest!!

I won these beautiful clay creations from Clayworks on CraziBeautiful Women!

This is a fairy door! It is to allow good fairies and other magical creatures into your home! I love it!


These earrings are also beautiful! They look great with my short hair and my favorite green shirt! I just love them!!



CraziBeautiful Women has a couple of contests going most of the time! There is a lot to see there!

Kim does quality work and it is beautiful! Go check out her Etsy shop to see what else she is up to!

A Real Walking Video!!

I finally got a good video of Doodle walking!!

Here she is today at 10 months old!!!

Guess Who's Walking!

I wasn't surprised at all for this little one to be walking so soon. Her siblings walked at her age, so she had to keep up!

Sorry that this is so short! I need to try to get video when Dad is around, but so that my Mommy can see, here is a little clip of Doodle walking, today!

We Have Great Neighbors!!!

Our next-door neighbors wanted to shade their south-facing wall. There isn't enough yard on their side to do so, so they offered to buy the trees if we'd put them in our yard. We wanted shade in that part of our yard as well, so it worked out great! It is so nice to have neighbors that work with us to accomplish what we all need and want! They are awesome!

I Used to Blog More

I'm not sure why, but I haven't been blogging here as much as I used to. I have been busy and also blogging about gardening more. I love to do that! It helps me to keep my knowledge current and actually in my head. I am also in the planning stages of starting a garden coaching business. I would go to people's yards and teach them about the plants they have as well as how to take care of them and generally improve their gardening skills.

If you're interested, my gardening blog Turn Your Thumb Green is updated pretty often, now and I'd love to hear any questions you may have for me! Also, I've been pretty active at Crazi Beautiful Women This has been a great opportunity for me and I hope it turns into more!

I'm not going to stop blogging here, but I think it will just be about what it has been for the past several months rather than the several times per week.

I guess I didn't need to say anything, but I wanted to explain... Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

And, This is Why I Win Mother of the Year!

Apparently, she can get into the bath all by herself!


Don't you like how I took a picture of her before I rescued her from the bathtub?? I made sure she was safe, first.

(Maybe I should keep a better eye on big sister's bath time!!!!)
