Let's Vow to NEVER Forget!

Day to day life gets in the way of many things.  Every day.  Every month.  Every year.  Believe me, I know!

But, on this Memorial Day....please take a moment or two, or three....to thank those that served our country and lost their lives.  We owe it to them.  We owe it to those still serving.

Please join me and let's vow to NEVER forget what they give to us every day.  Without fail. 

OUR FREEDOM!

The brave die never, though they sleep in dust:

Their courage nerves a thousand living men.

~Minot J. Savage

The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree.

Peace to each manly soul that sleepeth;

Rest to each faithful eye that weepeth...

Seeing these cookie monster cupcakes makes me want to throw Red Curlz at Sesame Street 3rd Birthday Party instead of my Carnival Dreams Party....hmmmm.....

What do you think?

THIS or THIS?

Please help me decide!  Birthday is August 4th, so deciding time is now.  Thanks!

Just a swingin'

Swinging never gets old.  Does it?  It think you could be 85 years old and still enjoy a good swing.  It is relaxing.  It is fun.  It is easy.  It is freeing.

I could use a good swing right about now.

Can someone please find me this swing, specifcally?  I would love to swing on this today.  Probably everyday!  Who am I kidding?

The Not-So Little Miss Sunshine

Did anyone watch Little Miss Sunshine, the movie?

Well, check out Not-So Little Miss Abigail Breslin now!  She has grown into quite the lady! 

And speaking of Little Miss....do you guys remember these???  The Mr. Men and Little Miss Books???

Oh how I loved these books when I was young!  This was probably my favorite...

But, I am not sure why?  I was always a real good girl!  (Most of the time, anyway!)

I think these books are not only fun, but informative and teachable!  I am gonna put these on Red Curlz birthday wish list for sure!  

To all the loving mother's...

...I salute you!

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

~Washington Irving

Then and Now

Do ya'll remember the 1991 movie "My Girl?"  I loved this movie as a "kid."

Woodland Fairies a la Rebecca Lily

I found a wonderous photographer via my favorite online image gallery.  Her name is Rebecca Lily.  She is incredible.  I love her style so much. 

Many of her photos of children are in a wooded area.  It reminded me so much of Red Curlz 1st birthday party.  It was a Woodland Fairies Party and very cute.  As are these magnificent captures....

I just adore the above photo.  So dream like. 

And now I must share some pictures of the 1st birthday party...take a walk down memory lane with me...

Baby girl will be THREE in August.  Time really does fly...**sniff sniff **
