A Capture Life Necklace from Cinnamon Sticks ($42 value)

Wow, Canela is a true inspiration.  She is a mom of six who creates classy, elegant jewelry.  Please, take a moment and visit her Cinnamon Sticks on Etsy.

A spot in an Online Workshop for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements from Mom Tried It ($75 value)

I can’t say enough good things about Kim and her desire to generate more funds through her workshops, so she can capture photos and provide prints for foster children.  Kim is not only a mom to 3 biological children, but she is a foster mom and photographer.  She has combined her two loves and is bringing you an online workshop as a result.

If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but are still struggling to use it to it’s fullest potential take a moment to check out what Kim offers through her workshop.

Yes, you read that correctly.  HelloCanvas has agreed to give away 3, 24X32 canvas prints.  I received a 20×28 canvas. It is HUGE and I love it. It is very well made and it turned out great. Shipping was quick and it came well packaged. You can also find Hello Canvas on Facebook and Twitter.

 There will be three different winners chosen. That means there will be 5 different winners!

Here are my favorites.

I love how you can see all of his freckles and his cute little smile.

Love this sweet photo of Carsyn from his Pirate Party.

Love this photo of all my boys. They are adorable together.

He is such a handsome 4 year old.

He still loves swinging. I love his wild hair here.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.
