<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My most favorite time of day is when the sun begins to set, dusk, I guess you would call it. Bountiful is blessed with gorgeous sunsets on a fairly consistent basis. A lot of these pictures don't give the color justice, but one day I'll be a pro and be able to capture what I'm actually seeing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: blue;">One of my favorite things about summer is the Farmer's Markets during the weekends. Last week I hit the Downtown Market before it got too hot. I am smitten with all the colors, crafts, people and puppies :) Here a just a few of the pics I took, ya, I probably look like the crazy woman with the camera taking pics of random stuff, but all the colors and beauty are just too awesome to miss.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Dear Blythe, </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Summer is here little lady and it's time to break out the sunscreen and work on loosing them floaties...what do ya say?
Oh my dear, please stop growing so quickly. It seems like if I'm even away from you for the day, you've matured ages by the time I return home. You are pronouncing your sentences so well and amaze me constantly with your quick, sometimes dry, wit.
Right now you have a love for all things girly, with room in there for a major obsession with super-heros. I love peeking in on you watching The Avengers while all decked out in your dress ups and having a tea party with Ironman and Hulk.
Sometimes when you are concentrating you breathe very deeply through your nose and it takes everything in my power to hold back the chuckles. You are so kind to people and always try to make new friends where ever we go. With that comes the inevitable rejection that sometimes comes with being a kid. I wish so badly I could shield you from every hurt in this world, but I have to remind you that this mama bird needs to let you use your wings.
This is a very different time in our lives. I'm gone a lot these days with school and work, but please know that I'm making a better life for us. Everything I do is for you. Thank you for being so patient with me and teaching me all the things that you do. I love you so much and I'm the luckiest Mama in the world. </span><br />

"Dirty Diet Coke"...people this is a revelation, it will change your life <b><u>FOREVER</u></b>. Diet Coke, Coconut syrup, Limes. O.M.G. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. I am now the proud owner of a brand spankin' new MacBook Pro. Her name is Marlena. Her brain is MUCH bigger than my former computer and will be a huge help in my upcoming ventures. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. My upcoming ventures: School, Photoshop, Photography Workshops, Etsy shop....and so forth. (there were a lot of 'shops' in there)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">4. I LOVE this time of year in Utah, everything is coming back to life after a long hard winter. And this years winter seemed extra tough! I adore all the color everywhere!! Here are just a few shots I've taken over the past couple weeks of all the beautiful colors around!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">5. My Esty Shop is actually doing okay! I honestly didn't have the highest hopes for it because there are SO many out there, but people are looking and I have TWO followers!!! TWO!!! If I had only ever made one sale I would have accomplished my goal, so it's already gone above and beyond that. Please <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeyoChickadee" target="_blank">stop by</a> if you get a chance:) </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">6. Essential Oils.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">8. Spending some really great time with The Little. That should actually be number one on the list, but let's remember that these are in no particular order. But she's so rad...I don't know what I did to get to be her mama, but I'm sure glad that I'm lucky enough! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">9. All the baby animals around! Baby deer in the yard, hopping around trying to learn how to use their wobbly new legs. Baby quail who bear a strange resemblance to ping pong balls, but with feet. Birds nests we are finding, puppies, baby chicks, the works. </span></div>

I opened up my Etsy shop!</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's simple and small, but I'm so very proud of it. I have spent awhile finding the items for my inventory and each one has a story. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I just love vintage...don't you?</span><br />

Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022216354872503420.post-59308987108858731132013-04-27T01:35:00.000-06:002013-04-27T01:35:19.097-06:00<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It's 1:34 am. As I'm typing this I'm sitting on my bed with the Little snoring softly next to me in hers. Im tempted to go pick her up and pull her under the covers next to me because there's something about the smell of the top of her head that I've always found comforting.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So it's been almost four months. It's crazy how fast the days get away from me, yet most often time seems to stand still</span>. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I'm starting to feel like myself again. I've certainly taken a beating these past few months, and never thought it possible to finally come up for air. But I am oh so blessed. Blythe reminds me everyday. Whether it be a picture she drew for me, or telling me she loves me for the 58th time that hour, or crawling into my lap for just a few moments to be close to me. Motherhood, as hard and painful as it can sometimes be, has been my saving grace. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: purple;">One thing I've learned is that the world keeps on turning, every day, hour, minute, second. And life can change with <span style="color: #0b5394;">every breath</span> you take. But it's good. <strong>Oh so good</strong></span>.</span> <br />

It's amazing the difference five months makes. But we are doing good. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Let's see, so the Little and I now live with my parents. Yep, I'm 30 years old, and living with my parents. But I'm so grateful for them for inviting us into their home. We have set up camp in a big room in the front and packed the rest up for storage. We've had a blast sharing a room, except for when a certain little girl feels the need to come climb in bed with mom at three am. The twin mattress doesn't quite accomodate two people. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Before we moved we had to say goodbye to our sweet puppy Jaxson. The move was a last minute decision and happened really fast so I decided that what would be best for him would be to go to a home where there were more kids, a yard and a mommy who was home during the day. And that's exactly what I found! He now lives with a family of six who love him to pieces and he's right where he belongs. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I've started a new job, I'm kind of being a little private about it, for multiple reasons. But it's awesome, it's been a huge blessing, I work with amazing people, and I'm so grateful to have a job where I can provide for the Little. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Speaking of Blythe, that kid is so rad. I don't know what I did to deserve her, but man I'm a lucky mama. She has handled all the changes SO well, and never ceases to amaze me with how sensitve and kind she is. She's also got an amazing imagination! She's always coming up with different games to play, and she makes up puppet shows, and draws gorgeous pictures. Love her. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So that's it for now, one foot in front of the other. But I'm joining the blogger world once again and hope you'll join me for the journey! </span><br />

Hence the abscense from the blog. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It sucks, it's scary, and I've been crying a lot. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I want to respect the privacy of all involved so I won't go into detail. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But I also wanted to avoid some guaranteed awkward moments, which is why I'm saying something about it here. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Blythe is with me and being the strongest little superwoman I know. She never ceases to amaze me with her sensitivity and awareness of others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">So don't give up on me, I'll be in and out as I start this new chapter in my life</span>. </span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022216354872503420.post-63274902165754615982012-07-07T00:17:00.005-06:002012-07-07T00:17:53.715-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Did you have a lovely fourth?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We sure did. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I got crafty for the first time in awhile and made Blythe a little festive tshirt to sport for the day. We headed up to my parents where there was swimming to be done and KFC to be had. It was so nice to spend some time with my family members and feel their love and support.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And Blythe loves her cousins and just soaks up every minute with them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">After we left my parents we headed up to Sandy to spend some time with a good friend of mine. She made YUMMY homemade berry ice cream and had a fun little craft for the kids to do. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We topped of the night hanging out in the parking lot of Alta View Hospital overlooking all the fireworks. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A good night was had by all...</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> a little thought for the day</span><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022216354872503420.post-49065683989118711462012-07-03T00:49:00.004-06:002012-07-03T00:49:56.310-06:00I'm getting ready to close a huge chapter in my life. I have to be vague because I want to respect other's privacy as well as my own. And eventually I will talk about it on here, but now is not the time. <br />
<br />
Is it totally selfish of me to ask for prayers? Prayers for strength, prayers for peace and prayers for my sweet Blythe. <br />
<br />
I can do hard things. <br />
<br />
Right?<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> <span style="color: purple;">Let me begin this post by stating, I am so very grateful to have a job. I admire working mothers and understand that sometimes it's a necessity. There's nothing wrong with being a working mom. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">That being said, man I'm having a hard time. I've been blessed to be a stay at home mom on and off for the last four years. I've loved being home with Blythe and seeing her grow and develop day to day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">On the other hand it's been a blessing to be able to get out and have a life outside of my home. I've really enjoyed getting ready for the day, wearing more than just yoga pants and tees. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But now I am torn. Blythe is struggling. She get's sad everyday when I leave, tells me she wishes she worked at my work, and is super clingy when I get home. So even though I know that working is necessary, I can't help but feel guilty like I'm abandoning her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Life is rough sometimes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Any tips?</span><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022216354872503420.post-32965404581171620982012-06-13T12:51:00.004-06:002012-06-13T12:51:59.599-06:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Almost three months, how embarassing. I've never known how to spell that word. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Embarassing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Embarhassing?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Embarasing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Oh well.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In the last three months I've turned the lovely age of 30. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Started a new job as a reservation agent and United Airlines.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Fixed a million different things on the PT Cruiser. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Had the carpets in my home cleaned. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Said a billion prayers. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Among other things.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This morning I had the biggest struggle with my breakfast. I'm starting to learn to live life as a diabetic, and friends, take it from me, it blows. Especially because I would usually consume approx. 70oz or more of Diet Coke a day among other, extremely unhealthy foods. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So anywho, this morning I really, REALLY wanted McDonalds. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was a battle for about and hour. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I lost. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I text a certain loved one and told her of my debacle and how bad I felt. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Her response was:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">"The damage is done, get over it and move on"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Funny how that applies to so much. </span><br />
