Lil Ms. Zebra

So my little one wants Zebra...hmmm wonder where she gets that from ? So we are going to be on a mission to re-create this bedding.

Kitchen re-do

Ok so I have an itch...one that keeps me up at night ,not a physical itch but ...a DECORATING itch! I want to redo my kitchen. We live in an older home with a lot of character. The decor I have now is coffee things...although I LOVE my coffee, its just not working for me. I think I am going to pull all of my old antique things out that I use to use many years ago. I have held onto them and that is probably a good thing. I honestly never thought I would use them again nor want to. I guess people change, styles change...its a good thing ! So, here I go. I will be posting before and after pictures.

As I was driving home after dropping off one of my kids at school..I looked over and noticed some purple flowers. I thought, well.. those are different only to realize they were weeds. I began to think some of us are like weeks. We have pretty sides to us yet we can be so different. Beauty isnt from the outside,but comes from within. Weeds take over they may come across as this pretty flower, yet their intentions are to take over our lawns, flower beds..etc. Humans can come across this way too. They may look so nice on the outside, yet their inside is on the prowl. I see this all around from a child in grade school to a grown adult. It makes me sad that we all can't just be beautiful on the inside. I try to remind my children to be kind, yet its so hard to be kind to one who may be so rude or ugly. Some people may act like they like you..yet when you walk away their body language makes a different statment. I try to watch how I act or behave as a grown adult..its so hard. You dont realize it until your older how important it is! I know I am not perfect and I am sure I have come across in an ugly way multiple times. As I have gotten older I do realize that I want to reflect more beauty on the inside that shines outward..instead of worrying about my outward side first. Dont get me wrong, I am not going to just sit back and let myself look a mess just because I am working on the inside.. lol But my main goal is to love my family, teach my kids, talk kindly, etc..you get the point.. ? I guess it would be better to say "I love you" or "Jesus loves you" instead of saying something rude to fuel someone's fire.
