You only see what your eyes want to see. How can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen, when your heart's not open. You're so consumed with how much you get. You waste your time with hate and regret. You're broken, when your heart's not open. "Frozen" by Madonna The special effects... Continue Reading →
It's that time for husband and I to start on our backyard landscaping. Husband has sketched out what we want it to look like. He researched bushes, flowers, trees, and rocks putting into consideration our neighbor's view of the mountains. There were a couple of Japanese blossoms we liked. One would grow to about 30/35...

I love quick and easy noodles soups and I love it from anywhere: restaurants, friend's house, prepackaged, etc. I'm not picky about the type of noodles either. Any type of noodle will work, even spaghetti noodles. What matters to me is flavor. I won't eat it if I can't stand the flavor no matter how... Continue Reading →

Within the last few weeks I've checked both sides and didn't see any sign of the tulips coming through. I got worried thinking maybe husband... Continue Reading →
My girls love painting. It's been awhile since they've painted so I decided to get them back into it. I learned a few things from that experience: 1. Layer the wood floor with more than tiny sheets of plastic. 2. Make sure they wear old t-shirts. 3. Have enough hand towels or old cloths available.... Continue Reading →
There are new homes being built in the community just north of where I live. These homes are small as well and have the hiked up prices just the same. The square footage run about 1400 sq. ft. up to about 2200 sq. ft. I personally loved the sizes but husband thinks they're too small. ... Continue Reading →
I want to first show the comparison between the white orchid and the pink spotted orchid. I had said before that the pink spotted orchid was about half the size of the white one and I wasn't kidding: Pink Spotted Orchid Three more flowers bloomed since last week. One of the bloom is upside down... Continue Reading →
