Transitions and Pretty Plants

I love my house. It's a place I can express myself. However, this summer it has been neglected. We are moving, so I'm holding off on doing or buying anything new. Plus, we have hardly been home it seems. I saw this plant at Target on Saturday though, and I couldn't get it out of my head. So on Sunday my wonderful husband went with me to buy it. Isn't it pretty? It's a small thing, but it's helping me to be ok with the transitions we are experiencing and it makes me smile when I walk through the door.

Amazing Woman

My mom celebrated her birthday yesterday. My sisters and I planned a surprise lunch for her. I had to think about how much she means to me. My mom exemplifies hope, love, strength, confidence, and determination. I can't even imagine where I would be without the support she has constantly given me. She is truly an amazing woman!
