Sleeping under the waves.



I got the most awesome "nightlight" ever! Well, it's more of a projection nightlight. I can change the colors of the light from red, blue, green, yellow and I can either keep it at that one color or I can use all the colors. I can have it steady or have it blinking. And another awesome feature is that we can have it on the timer! I set it to an hour and I put the light setting to blue, and it looks like I'm sleeping under the waves. And it's pretty cool because I can hear the REAL ocean waves from my window since I live near the ocean...and I love it. I love sleeping "under the waves" and it doesn't go on all night long. It's very relaxing to watch and I feel like it helps me with my sleeping problem. It relaxes me and I feel like I can go to sleep faster. I doesn't keep me asleep, obviously, but at least I can initially got to sleep, because that has been a problem for me. I hope that it lasts longer. But yes, I really like my new "nightlight." :)


Love from Belarus.



This beautiful postcard traveled 32 days to get to me from Belarus. I really like this postcard because it's like this girl is dreaming of the sea...and that is so me! I dream of the sea as well...and I wish I was a part of the sea! :) If only I had a choice to be a mermaid! Just joking...but it still would be cool! But I love how this girl has fish in her hair as if she is of the sea. :)

LuLaRoe shirt came in! :)


When I pulled into the garage when I came home from work I was curious to see this very pretty package waiting for me in my in my mail basket. I love hearts and look how beautiful and cute this is!


I really had no idea what was inside and so I excitedly opened it and look what it was! :)


My LuLaRoe purchase came it! Wow! That was super fast...the only thing is, it fit perfectly. I now know that if I want to buy this top again and have it fit perfectly then I will buy a medium. The problem with that is that I didn't want this shirt with this patter to fit perfectly. I wanted it to wear it a bit larger so that I can do the different styles. I couldn't do it with this shirt because it fit perfectly...and wearing this shirt as is not my style of shirt. I don't normally wear patterns like this. I liked it, but not enough to keep it.


So, I brought it to my sister's house to give to her, but my DollGirl wanted to try it on!



Goodness! I love this girl so much! She cracks me me up! Here is her wearing my LuLaRoe top, that I am going to give my sister, and showing me a bit that she wrote. Oh and she is wearing her daddy's shoes! Silly little DollGirl!

But anyway, my suggestion is that if you want an Irma from LuLaRoe to fit perfectly, get two sizes down from what you would normally wear. I feel as if I could have worn a small as well...it was pretty loose feeling. It was the neckline that isn't that stretchy so, I couldn't fit my arms in it as well so that I an make it into a halter. I might I like this shirt, but I would have liked it better as a large so that I could make it into a halter/one shoulder/dress shirt thing...oh well. Now I know!

Before the pen: Feb. 06-Feb. 12.


After such a down week last week I wanted something "sweet"-like to make me smile and few things can make me smile faster and put me in a more better mood than ice-cream! Anything sweet really! I know I have such a sweet tooth, I'll never deny that! But this sticker kit and these stickers definitely put me in a more happier mood just by looking at them! It will be a good week!

After the pen: Jan 30-Feb.05.


I was feeling sick and extremely frustrated this week. I am glad to leave this week behind. At least I was able to get most everything I had planned to do this week done and the things I didn't get done are in the process of being checked off.

Tiny Feet.

Today my DollGirl came out of her classroom and showed me this beautiful creature that hatched in her room. I'm not sure of what the technical term is when a caterpillar emerges as a butterfly from it's chrysalis...is it called hatching?! Well, anyway, my DollGirl's classroom is blessed to have a lot of chrysalis' that are on the verge of hatching and this little guy came out while they were in the classroom and so when it was time to come outside to play, my DollGirl very carefully let it walk on her finger to let her take it outside.


Here is her little cutenss giving me a "loud" smile as she shows me the beautiful butterfly that she was able to hold for just a moment before it took off to the skies! I'm so glad that I was able to take this really quick picture of her holding the gorgeous butterfly.


After the butterfly flew off, for some reason DollGirl wanted me take a picture of her socks. She rarely wears socks, but it has been kind of cold lately and so she decided to for whatever reason to wear these cute mismatched socks.


When her classmates saw that I was taking a picture of her socks, they thought I was taking a picture of their feet and wanted me to take pictures of their feet to. It was super cute coz I told them that I would take a picture of their feet if their feet smiled for me. This is their feet smiling for me.


More "smiling" feet! I just love how these children think. I love how they LOVE to go around barefoot, and I appreciate living in a place where that is allowed. When I first started to work in a preschool setting and saw how they would do this, I would get upset that they might step on something that might hurt them, but the longer that I worked here the more that I saw that this is the way of life here. I even have parents who remove their shoes when they walk into my classroom! Now, that is respect!

This reminds me how careful we have to be around children. They will mimic you. They will follow in your footsteps whether you wan them ore not. They are innocent. I have to remember this and this makes me smile because I realize because of them, I am always striving to be a person worthy to be followed in her footsteps. :)

An elephant from Germany.



I love this postcard sent to me from a friend in Germany! :) I love how the edges aren't straight but has a different kind of an edge than normal postcards. I know that you can't really tell from the pictures, but I adore how the postcard is full on glittery and there is an elephant front and center! I also appreciate the flowers and the beautiful lettering of the postcard! And the best part of the postcard, the sweet, extremely sweet message that was written on it. :)
