I am a MOM!

And everyday I thank someone mighty...

I hope you had a great Mother's Day if you are a Mumma or know someone that is.
I come from a long line of pretty great ones.

Tubbies time out.

We are in a huge shower only phase.
It cracks me up.
He could spend hours in there with a digger and a plastic juice jug.

We are giving the tub a time out for a while.  I'm sure it will be back...

Sandbox. Diggers. All things BOY!

This weekend Papa and Dad built Bean a new sandbox.
We overcame the dreaded flu bugger that has been lingering for nearly 2 weeks and did it up right in the '11th hour'.
To say it is a HIT is a huge huge huge understatement.

The boy has managed to pack every item with wheels and diggers and loaders and buckets from the depths of every toy corner of our home to celebrate in the grande opening.
No toy shall be left out.

I look at our wee old repurposed sandbox and wonder....
WOW, big enough for a lady bug maybe?
But that is just my take on the matter.

A sandbox.
A child's right of passage?!


The sand tracking in the house has increased exponentially.
And the floor cleaning required by my standards is nearly out of control.
But someone thinks it's a fair upgrade.  And that is what matters.

Thanks Papa.
Thanks Daddy.
So happy my boy has a sandbox to dig in as I did when I was a little girl.

April Blog Circle Challenge... SELFIES!

Once a  month I will be joining a group of Mothers and Photographers and post ~10 photos.... of the ordinary and not so ordinary moments of our days.

Once again I've linked up with these fab Moms for our monthly blog circle.

This month our goal was to attempt as many self portraits as we could manage.

I'm not at all a fan of photos of just myself, so I've recruited my favorite model for cute factor.

Please enjoy more SELFIE photos from some talented gals.  They are all such an inspiration.  Who knows, you may be inspired to try a few of your own self portraits, it was so much fun!
Mercedes and her family are adorable and she is incredibly talented.  I follow along with her photo feed daily.  You will want to check out her photos.  She is BOLD and awesome and one hell of a fun Mom by the looks of things.
Enjoy!
