Easter

My favorite part of Easter for years was coloring eggs..... This year I came around to enjoy so much more of the holiday.  Having young children really awakens your holiday spirits.  This year Easter just seemed so perfectly whimsical and colorful.  I find it important to embrace each holiday, and to teach my little all the beautiful traditions that come with every one.  I try to be sure I decorate and expose her to all the colors, tastes, sounds, and activities.  Our celebrations are extended, usually starting early, and then ending shortly after the big day.   This year we had numerous Easter egg hunts, played with lots of bunnies and eggs, read Easter stories, and smelled all the daffodils. Being festive is so fun and keeps life interesting and exciting.

Sunday Snippet Vol. 3

Since last Sunday was Easter I left you hanging without a snippet -- I don't work on holidays! :)

any way, here I am early on a sunday bringing you a new "Sunday Snippet".  Enjoy!


I sometimes find beauty in messes and I think that life is sometimes so beautiful in the way it is ugly.  Think about it.  Sometimes you have to go through some shit, to get to the good, right?  And sometimes  going through the tough times teaches you so many lessons about life, about yourself, about others....It's good to remind yourself during tough times that there must be a reason for it all.... And it may not be obvious, but one day it will become clear.....at least I hope.  xo

Signing Off-

Dedication

So here I am trying to keep my pledge to blog once a week. I usually am extremely anti-computer on the weekend....Today it is snowing, and I am probably going to be stranded in my house... I need to bake some Christmas cookies but I have to wait until my mother is done doing her Christmas baking.

This year I am not in the Holiday Spirit yet. I've done most of my Christmas shopping, I was on a mission today before the snow started falling HARD....I am hoping once I start to bake, maybe partake in a glass of wine and some Christmas tunage I will then be in the Spirit of Christmas FULL BLAST..... It's not that I am depressed or anything of the sort. It just simply doesn't FEEL like Christmas...

I keep getting interrupted by my family and that is one of the things I HAAAATe about being home when everyone else is.... otherwise I feel like I could be quite the homebody. Part of me was actually EXCITED that today was a snow day and Id be locked inside to putz around my house....

I recently purchased Jack Johnson's "En Concert" Special Edition Album and DVD Film..... I am OBSESSED!!! If you are a big JJ fan, I recommend you buy this. The songs on the album are amazing and the DVD is BEAUTIFUL! I always said I would love to MARRY Jack Johnson, and this has only CONFIRMED these feelings. He is just so "obtainable" and "real" - I feel like he is so chill and easy to hang out with. I would love to either be in his band, or just travel with them. They seem like such a fun, interesting, passionate bunch. Maybe I should see if they are hiring any roadies or anything hahaha... This is my mind.

I got my hair did yesterday. I always want to ask the people that work there if they have ever found a tick or anything "strange" in someone's hair / scalp. I never do though. This is again my mind. I also have often thoughts / feelings that I am going to dye young, or I am going to be unable to bear children, or thoughts of what if I just stepped on the gas and crashed my car into or off of whatever is in front of me....I also recently have a lot of thoughts about having a seizure, I don't know why, but I just think, "what if that happened right now"- Maybe it's a fear in me.......
