This was incredibly touching and made me cry. "Why do we have stars in the sky?" Mr. Wright asks his students, "because Someone loves you."



It's quite an honor and quite humbling that my little corner of blog land has been nominated for a

 

This is so fun to watch!  It's about 9 minutes long and even though I didn't recognize all the video games they featured, it's awesome!  I especially liked what the Ohio State Band made starting at  minute 6...Wow!   Enjoy!  

Live Action  recently posted this video on their Facebook page.  It's too beautiful not to share with the world!  Thank you Pamela Cook and all women who give life in sometimes the most difficult circumstances! 

We couldn't travel to the beach closest to our home since police would only let residents onto that beach.  So this afternoon we decided to jump in our van to travel about 30 minutes to another local beach to walk around since one of my friends told me that there were clams, crabs, and sea stars along the shore.  The wind was still going a little strong and the sand was blowing, stinging our legs, but it was a great trip and we found lovely treasures that excited my children.  Here are some gifts that Irene left behind for us to find:

Everything was going so well with the 5 hens a friend of ours gave us.  We let our 5 feathery friends out during the day to free range and roam our yard and our woods to find bugs, critters, claw the dirt.  Then in the evening all 5 of them would return to the coop that our friend built. We would lock them safe and sound in the coop until the next morning where the routine would start all over again.

Our kids have enjoyed collecting the eggs during the day and we have enjoyed eating these delicious eggs.  Well, this past Friday, after a short heavy rain, only 3 out of our 5 chickens returned from the woods. After some searching,  my husband found one lying dead at the edge of our woods and another one is still missing :(  So we are left with 3 now.  Who knows what might have happened during the day, maybe our neighbor's dog might have had something to do with it, but we don't know for sure.  So now my husband needs to build some type of enclosure with posts and wire around the coop to make sure we don't lose anymore.  We are sad, but we must keep it all in perspective.  They are just chickens after all. 

Below is a video of a family who is missing their little girl which definitely puts our chicken tragedy in perspective.  This is a video with a special message from an angelic little girl and it is just too good not to share.
Grab a tissue :(

My Dad sent me this video through email and my children and I have seen it a few times so I thought I would share it here on my blog.  It is 4:30 minutes long and the dancers are beautiful and their skill, balance, and strength is incredible!  I hope you enjoy this as much as we have! 

I've seen this video a couple of times and laugh at it each time!  I feel like I sound just like this to my children!
Enjoy this funny video!

I hope this video below will be a source of encouragement and inspiration for all Moms during this "ordinary time" in our lives as we raise our children! I can relate to the mom in the black and white scenes.  Anyone else?
