As we grow…

A great post for a Sunday, a day in which most of us spend with our family. I do and its a day I look forward to each week to just kick back and relax together with a lazy morning, coffee, late breakfast and time with those I love.

I love these words, these words on a photograph that I also love.
Every word of it is true.

 

 

 

Life Logics & Friday free for all…

On this Friday I get to enjoy being home with my kids… I say “enjoy” very loosely as they are both not feeling well, more the miss and I am about to fall over I am so tired! Its been a long week with them not sleeping and not feeling good. Reminds me of the newborn days and I think to myself – how did I function… lol! How did I function? Well I did. I didn’t have a puppy to watch every second, good old Elwood was very trusting and stayed by my side and I could nap when the baby napped. Our house certainly looks like those early newborn days lol.

Good news is hubby and I had a “surprise” date night last night that was simply fantastic! We went and saw Harvey at the Drayton Entertainment St Jacobs Playhouse Theatre. It was fantastic! First we had dinner at Jacks, which is just a parking lot away before enjoying the live entertainment!

Seems everyone is getting or is sick… even I am feeling quite crappish having cared for our weary children this past weekend and week. Both hubby and I are quite thankful that when we moved last year we made the jump to a King Size Bed… it has come in handy having the 4 of us snuggled in there a few nights this week.

At least if they have to be sick, their spirits are good and they are quite happy resting…

After a week like this, the following quote is well fitting! Life Logics… gone is the time when people did what they believed to be right and putting the feelings of others as a top priority. Its almost sad how this world has changed and has become much more self centered with lacking morals and values. I read a tweet the other day…

“Those who live with no regrets, fearless and free? or irresponsible and lack accountability? This could start quite the debate…”

Personally… it depends. There are two types of people who live with no regrets, the ones who live with no regrets by doing the right things and those who live with no regrets by doing whatever they want, not caring who or what they hurt.

Right in line with the life logics, these 7 points are so very true.

However those who live with no regrets thinking they are fearless and free – there is another word for them, selfish. They do not care about anyone except themselves. They speak words and act in ways that damage relationships and hurt peoples feelings, yet these types of people are immune to even being capable to feel compassion or love to those they hurt in their path to “live the life they want to”. These people are constantly comparing themselves to everyone else and trying to one-up. They complain non-stop and are extremely negative about everything and everyone.
These are the types of people who claim they “live with no regrets” and in time realize they were close to or did lose it all.

Then there is the other group of people who their belief’s of living with no regrets is being happy, spending your life with people you enjoy being around who are positive and bring out the best in you. They appreciate all they have and aim for goals they would like to achieve. These people realize that it takes hard work to achieve anything in life, be it in relationships or the workplace, family and gaining posessions. Its ok to not know the answer to everything and rely on others for support. This group of people life life to the fullest, yet do save for a rainy day. Ensure all necessities are met and when its right, make that large purchase they’ve been waiting for. They realize that good things do come to those who wait – but those who are waiting are those working very hard to reap the rewards.

Happy Firday the 13th all!

Dance Like No One Is Watching

We all have those times in life we wish we were alone to blast the music and bust a move and dance our sorrows away. I know dancing around (my house) is a very fun regular thing for me for any mood I am in, it’s so freeing, refreshing, energizing and fun!!!

Our kids have always loved music, this is an oldie from last year, I remember the night well, hubby was on his way home and the kids were bouncing between playing hockey and dancing. I can feeeeel the emotion and energy in them!

Never deprive yourself of dancing like no one is watching! Heck even let loose in public the odd time ;)

Most important thing a father can do

The most important thing a father can do for his children is love their mother <3For years I have been saving my favourite quotes I’ve read over the time and up until recently I have begun sharing these quotes by pairing them with some of my favourite photographs. A beautiful way to display words and photos.I love this one of my hubby and I, his sly sweet sexy grin and holding me tight. Love him!

*** Edited April 13, 2012 – I had to edit this to add a HUGE THANK YOU to all who have taken the time to like, comment or compliment me on this photo & quote. It truly means so very much to me! Photography is a huge part of my life and when I can capture moments like this to treasure with words full of meaning, it warms my heart! THIS is why I love photography, the emotion… the feeling you get! <3

Small Town Living

I captured this photo last week while outside playing with the kids. Since we moved to the edge of town this is now our view across the street – true small town country living, but still not to far from town for me haha! We regularly see Mennonite’s travel down our road with their horses and carriage. Sure living out here doesn’t always smell great, but really at both previous houses (haha yes in 7 years we moved 3 times lol but we’re here to stay for a while), we could smell the farming community ;). It’s a part of our great small town!

The Easter Chicken

Bless my wonderful aunt for getting these easter chickens for our children and necessary… Oh they are awesome (can you sense the sarcasm haha) This sweet little thing does the most annoying chicken dance… Grams was happy we had something to replace the bouncing bunny we had for years… That danced about singing

My husband and I at Easter

I took the majority of our easter photos Friday morning at Grams when we colored easter eggs, so I only actually got the camera back out for a few shots on Good Friday evening dinner at our place (yes we are loving hosting!!!). So after our guests left we got some shots of us :) They aren’t perfect but they go with my own theme of this year and that is to take more of our everyday life! This is totally us lol.

Happy Easter from our lil man

The boy didn’t want to get to many photos he was coming down with something and after brunch and a tour to the beach he just wanted to chill… But first he set up these photos for me of both kids lol he made sure their stuff was in the baskets etc. He admittedly was a little bummed the easter bunny didn’t hide eggs everywhere but when I reminded him of the puppy we have this year he understood ;) Perhaps next year the Easter bunny will leave some outside for them. We enjoyed more time with family over the weekend, actually it started Thursday. Great fun I always love our time together. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!
