OMG! it’s hot in here! and the temp keeps rising. sounds like our gas prices doesn’t it?

Speaking of that, I paid $4.57 for regular (not premuim) today

..just before my tire blew on the main drag and left me stranded on the side of the road.

I had 2 strange men in an old van pull up along side of me and I asked one if he could get the lug nuts off my wheel. I was in a suit and high heels.. sweating my pretty little butt off and I certainly was not worth a crap. He quickly oblidged such a sweet man- (I’m sure I looked pathetic trying to pull the donut out of the trunk in a suit) and he got tools out of the back of his van and went straight to work. They had my car jacked up and tire off in a matter of minutes and even put the donut on for me. I offered them both $20 each, but they wouldn’t take it. They said, please do something nice for someone else in need. I was able to drive to a tire shop and get it replaced.. from a good advertiser and friend that I wrote commercials for.. for free.

So I tithed some money to church yesterday, paid the babysitter with a healthy “tip” and thanked the Lord above for all my blessings.

I can’t wait to see her on Tuesday, this Oklahoma girl can bring the house down.

They are having American Idol parties big time this week, plus David Cook is going to be here on the tour also!

This holiday weekend is full to the brim!

I pray yours is safe and fun filled. God Bless our soldiers past and present.

My sweetheart is 12 today!

Let’s celebrate! God bless little girls!

If you know me, then you know I’m STILL going a mile a minute.

Every day is completely filled to the gills. Lately, I’ve been very creative, just not on scrapbooking. Well, actually that’s not true–> I’m designing ”life” so I can scrap that moment. I’ll share my darling craft projects and how to’s in my next post.

This week has been dedicated to the children’s birthday parties. Yes, you heard me, it’s PLURAL!~ children. Both T & Z’s birthday parties are this weekend and Taylor wants hers on Friday Night, and Zach’s is Saturday afternoon.

It’s my only Saturday free that I’m not doing a live remote broadcast or photographing a wedding the entire month of May.

Great things are happening, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.  

I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and I got the “speech” with my blood pressure sky rocketing and she said, “Lynette you have to have a day off!”

So I haven’t been to church in a couple weeks. I was going in at 10am service, and working until 8pm every Sunday night because I volunteered to run the daycare at church while the parents had adult bible classes. The children played the whole time, but Taylor is wanting experience to get ready to babysit herself. (can you believe that?)

I just wanted to sleep in, have quality family time and make fresh strawberry waffles! ..or last week I made hashbrowns, bacon and eggs. (ssh, don’t tell my doc ) Anyway, the Sunday’s off have been a God send and I’m finding that balance I talked about.

Balance. It’s much more than the bottom line in my checking account, it’s how I organize my day.

It’s the ability to maintain. In biology in college, which I think I got a C if I was lucky- but from what I remember, it was based on a support system to be able to create a “center”

There are various ways to create “balance” in your life~

…religion (spiritualism), yoga means to yoke (or unite)..

We could be here all day talking (debating) about these, and then you really would say- “where did the day go?” which is the the million dollar question of the day.

So if “Time is Money” and you don’t know where your day went? Then perhaps it’s a safe assumption to say~ it has an important value.

So finding balance is something you might have to pay for?

Thought for the day..

If you had to change your day to be more balanced and productive.. how would you do that?

to my beautiful talented friends.

I am thankful for my own mother, for she has a heart of gold.

May you have a blessed day today with your family. 

Staying Up Late.. working on STM!

Lots of kinks to work out with the updates since I moved to California. If you find a link that is closed, not following through properly, I will be happily fixing those.

The new podcasts have been shot, we’re just editing and almost rarin’ to go!

We’ve got new merchandise and awesome apparel, and heads up- we’re gonna blow out some scrap supplies at rock bottom prices that you won’t want to miss!

Summer will be a very exciting time to scrap that moment!  

I can change up George’s lyrics a little can’t I?

Check out these awesome action shots I got (oh yeah!) 

I definitely need to scrap that moment!

tonight’s appetizer will be featured with photos by Young Chef Zach Daniel..

more to come~ stay tuned so you too can make a delicious dish.  

Baby Chace was born with a darling full head of black hair @ 34 weeks. Tabitha wasn’t even due til June 6th. He is in NICU now until his lungs develop more, so as soon as I have a photo I will share!

Tabitha is doing well, I don’t even think the hospital kept her a full 2 days and she went to be with the baby at another specialized hospital.

Please keep them in your prayers, we are all very excited!
