Wordless Wednesday

My lovely Ladybug at the store doing some light shopping. I was actually shopping for jeans, but.....you know how that goes.  We got this for her Bunny.

Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

I just wanted to share this with you guys out there that read my blog. I was reminded of this verse today when I went to a church with some of my clients to get help for the children. The woman was first of all wrong. When she was corrected by someone over her, it made her rude to us. This was first hard to put up with because we were in a church, I was with my clients and because I was so disappointed in her. She was there to set an example and show love to them and they heard her talking negatively and saw the attitude on her face. But, she definitely stirred up ANGER in me and it was necessary at all. I hate that I let her upset me, but she was "out of order".

Luke 6:31
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.  

In all of my anger and annoyance, I also remembered the above verse and remembered that I was there setting an example for someone and had to practice what I "preach".  We were respectful to her even though she was very rude to us.  The passage below I read with the SHE READ TRUTH website.  I do an online bible study with them.  You should really give it a try if that is your thing......even if it isn't your thing, please give it a try.  Anyway the passage below keeps me grounded.  I do certain things because that what God calls me to do, not what the law expects me to do, but what I know God wants me to do.  But......I was tested today.  I got upset....but I got my mind right.  Because...in the words of my mother, "That woman is not gonna worry me"!  LOL!  Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!

Toddle Along Tuesday: PARTY TIME!!!

Well, last night we went to a party for Ladybug's cousin. We had so much fun and it was a nice little change from the regular Monday. The kids enjoyed themselves and boy were there a lot of kids!! Ladybug played and visited with her cousins. She also made time to give random party goers hugs. She had a great time! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to link up with Toddle Along Tuesday. The link is on the left of my page!! If you have time, please follow me! I love having new followers!

My cute little Diva enjoying the icing....birthday cake & mini ice cream cone.

This picture just cracks me up!!  From left to right.  Ladybug, Birthday's Boy's baby sister & the Birthday Boy.  They all look a cross between mesmerized and worried about the cake!  Ladybug had so much fun!

Sunday Social

Oh how I have missed doing Sunday Social and linking up with Neely over at A Complete Waste of Makeup. Well, I hope you check out her site & link up! While you're at it, follow me! I love new followers and reading more blogs!!!!

This Weeks Questions:

1. What do you value most in life?

Totally easy! My relationship w/Christ and my family! Those are by far the two biggest motivators in my life!

2. What do you think is the greatest invention in your lifetime and why?

For me the directionally challenged person that I am, it has to be cell phones that will let you get on the internet AND that have GPS! That was the best Mother's Day gift ever!!! So what if I've had my iPhone 4 for less than 1 year & it is already out of date b/c 2 more have come out! WHATEVER!!!!

3. What do you think is the secret to a good life?

Hm.....I'd have to say that the secret to my good life is being obedient, being patient and being able to have a career that I enjoy. Even if some of my coworkers are sour w/their career choice, I love mine and that gives me peace.

4. What would you most like to be remembered for when you’re gone?

I want to be remembered as having a great sense of humor, a big personality & an even bigger heart.

5. What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of?

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever done, and that is getting my license for my career choice! That was hard work!!! I had a lot of tearful & stressful nights preparing for that horrible test! But, what tops my list is being blessed with a beautiful daughter & seeing the fruits of my labor. Ready to do it again.....just as soon as I lose about 10 pounds!!!

6. If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play you?

Oh, my! That is a tough one! Well, my husband has a celebrity crush on Halle Berry. So, I guess she wins the role ladies!!

LINK UP!!!!!

I'm Back!!.......with Saturday's Top Five Laughs of course!

Wow!! I can't believe it has been almost one month since I have posted anything to the blog!!! So much has been going on and I have been super busy! Ladybug is growing like crazy and her father and I have been busy like crazy. She has decided to be a "Princess" for Halloween this year and I can't wait to finish altering her costume. I'm not making it this year. We got a Rapunzel costume that was on sale....making a few alterations/changes & getting her accessories from Dollar Tree...my favorite store. Well, back to business!!!

SATURDAY'S TOP FIVE LAUGHS!!!

1. My husband and I went to a middle school football game, to show support for one of our friends. My daughter has found a love for football evidently, b/c she was screaming in the stands, "Get him, get him!!!!" Um....not sure what she knows about football or defense. She must spend more time w/her dad on Monday nights than I realize!

2. My little 2 year old has quite a mouth on her, but it is hard to discipline her b/c she is so respectful! I was in the kitchen getting her allergy medicine ready for her to take. I called her into the kitchen & she politely tells the person on her pretend phone....also known as her hand....to "hold on please". Then looks at me and says, "Mommy, can you be quiet please"? Then she goes back to her hand...'phone' and says, "okay, I'm back". WTH is going on here????

3. Last night's conversations w/Ladybug

Me: Ladybug, I love being your Mommy.

Ladybug: I love being your father.

Me: :-/ .....Well, you're not my father, you're my daughter.

Ladybug: ******crickets******

This Morning's Conversation w/Ladybug:

Me: Ladybug, I love being your Mommy.

Ladybug: I love being your father........I love being your Princess Ladybug.

4. While cleaning out my closet I found an old unused makeup brush. I gave it to Ladybug & now she is walking around the house, getting into my makeup bag & getting mad when I won't let her play in my MAC. She was playing w/the makeup brush & rubbing it all over her face & arms. Her dad asked her what she was doing and she popped off, "It's makeup daddy....it's just for girls!" He then informed me that she wouldn't be doing pageants.....LOL! But, I do let her wear my flavored lip gloss from VS...it's chocolate.

5. Ladybug recently had a cupcake and thought it was an excellent idea to rub the icing on her arms and legs...right before bedtime. "Look, Mommy....lotion"! Needless to say she took another bath. :-/

Oh, how I've missed this link up! LOL! These make me laugh just typing them in! Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to link up below with The Mommyhood Chronicles!! Follow me if you like what you see! I love new followers!

Weekend Wrap-Up!!

I had a fabulous weekend, but of course....it was not long enough! I threw a shower for one of my good friends this weekend. It was really nice and we had a great time! I also go to go to the Zoo with my daughter & loving husband before the shower. I also got to go shopping on Sunday!! My husband took our daughter to the 9-hole golf course with him and let me go shopping by myself. It went so quickly since I didn't have my mini-me in tote! Ugh!!! But, now I am doing laundry and totally wanting another day of weekend!!!!

The baby's Tutu!  We used this for decoration on the clothesline. 

Wreath Decor for the Baby!

Water play at the Zoo.  She enjoys the waterfall. 

The Children's Petting Zoo.  She isn't afraid of the animals at all!

Sunday Social

It's that time again!!  Sunday Social!!  I am a little behind on my posting link ups and didn't even do one for Saturday.  It has taken me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things after our end of the summer vacation.  The majority of these photos I found on-line, except for the ones that picture my family!  But, you know the drill........Here we go!!

End of the Summer Wrap-up!!

What was your favorite trip/vacation/activity this summer?

My family and I took an end of the summer vacation trip to North Carolina.  We went to the beach, to a children's museum, pictured above, and to visit my family.  We had a wonderful time and it was my daughter's first time on a plane since she was 3 months old.

Favorite outfit look of the summer/clothing item?

I love capris and dressy/cute tank tops for the summer.  I love a wedge heel no matter what the season!  I think I wore the mess out of my capris this summer!

What is one thing you wish you had gotten to do this summer?

I totally didn't work on that 10 pounds of weight loss or my six pack.  I also didn't get that bikini body I wanted.  Oh, well....maybe next year.

Favorite Song of the Summer?

My censored favorites are Wild Ones by FloRida and Wide Awake by Katy Perry.

Favorite movie/tv show of the summer?

Ugh!  I must admit that I love Pretty Little Liars and that finale was great!  I also like Weeds because that is a show my husband will watch with me!
