little lambs

mothers day thoughts are with the sheep farmers

in iceland

its lambing season

some farms are under so much ash

wives and children have been asked to leave

leaving menfolk to tend to lambing season

with little help

some farmers going 40 hrs without sleep

they are finally sending in help

sheep are having to stay in barns around the clock with

all their needs tended to manually

exhausting

alot like real mothering/parenting

so with these little lambs in mind

happiest of mothers day

to

all that have tended to new life

and healthy tomorrows

to all the little lambs of the world

sunshine state

:: summer soon ::

found these cute o.p. 's at wallyworld

cause ammas n mamas everywhere are watching their wallets :)

we love all things hibiscus

so this was just right :)

sunshine state
(of mind:)

happy home

long busy happy weekend

moving the little family out and in

what a perfect little home love has built!

fresh starts

its been crazy here

being "accidental landlords" means

condo overhauls when you least expect it

ick, cleaning other peoples dirt :(

but as life works

now daughter who has lived with us for last year

is moving in and on

and shes clean!!

this condo was done w/ work scraps

mirrors & cabinets built by sweet boy

granite - westin hotel scraps

louver doors - disney throw outs

it is beachy and light

and suits daughters personality perfectly

her things look perfectly at home and while we had a working weekend..

the new "tenants" enjoyed a weekend in daytona

me next :)

wildly beautiful

both fierce and calm all in the same moment

wildly beautiful

beautiful things

rings by sigga og timo of iceland

a sweet boy gave me both


my aquamarine ring

reminds me of sweet boys eyes

oh!

and the color of the icelandic fjords

the silver wrap ring was given w/ this sentiment:
"b/c you are the best gift in my life"
(it looks like a package ribbon, get it?)
