Perfect Iced Coffee

I've been watching and loving Ree Drummond AKA Pioneer Woman... I am a total lover of Iced Coffee, so when I saw her version I HAD to give it a try. End result was a very yummy and affordable way to have Iced Coffee at home when ever I want it!!

Crafting

This one is especially for you Nicole. Since I get alot of flack for NEVER blogging!

I have been doing a lot of Idea searching online for cute craft ideas for the kids and upcoming seasonal holidays.

Having found myself with the most free time that I have had in the last 10 years.. I have decided to start crafting more

I found one idea that I had to try today... it is a No Sew Infinite Scarf I found on Pinterest (another site I can't get enough of).

Super cute and SOOOOO easy!! Total no brainer.... Just what I need to start with.

Check out the result... I would say success!!

Lost art.

I have been thinking alot lately about the lost art of Manners. When did it become acceptable to forget the please.. the thank you.. the excuse me.. the pardon me. When did parents stop teaching their children these fundamental social skills?

Yes, kids forget these little words but it is our job to make sure to remind them and correct them when they don't use these words.

With these forgotten words we continue to add to the current generation of thankless people, the people who have a HUGE sense of entitlement with out deserving an ounce of what they have or what they will get.

Contemplation

The age old question must be asked... why does life have to be so difficult? I love my life, but at times I feel like a am stretched and pulled too many ways... I feel like I have to fix everyone and everything, like i have to make everyone happy even if that means sacrificing a piece of myself. In that mix of trying to fix everything and everyone else I forget to fix myself.

I have been thinking alot about the last year of my life.. family fractured...old friends lost... new friends added. There are times when I wish I could rewind a year ago to a time when I was blissfully unaware of everything and everyone was happy and thing just ticked along.

Then I realize that the past is the past, you cannot take back things already said, things change that we cannot control. If it could all be fixed then I would happily fix it... but I cannot.

So I guess I need to work on putting the pieces of myself back together. Then maybe I won't miss those broken things so much.

Holding On

I started this blog under peer pressure.. I wanted to blog like everyone else. I Don't blog often and I don't feel like I am very good at it.

I do like the outlet however that it brings to me when I need it. I can rant and rave.. be incoherant and speak of nonsense. For that I am holding on to my silly little blog.

It is therapeutic to have an outlet out there in the great beyond. I know that very few people read this blog but those that do don't judge me or my random thoughts.. thank you blogger and thank you friends.

say whay you mean!!

Ok here is the second blog.. i know i know hell must have frozen over... 2 blogs in 1 night!!

So 2 nights ago
Me: " So do you have a problem with me going to Florida with Nicole?"
Him: "no babe.. you guys have fun".

Today

Me: "hey we got free passes to get into the park and we are gonna have dinner at cinderella's castle"

Him: look on his face that was pure irritation.

Me: being the peace keeper that I am said " I'm sorry if I made you upset..but I don't understand whats wrong"

Him: I was ok with you guys going when it was 4 days and you were just hanging out.. i thought that we would all go as a family to disney for the first time..

Me: didn't you go already??

Him: I went to DisneyLAND and I was 5!

So Pouty polly he was for the night.. 1 important lesson learned.. I cannot talk about my disney trip with him cause he is jealous!

Princess' here I come!!

So the time has finally come.. an event worthy of a blog.. I April Dawn Daphne Couch am FINALLY going to Florida and Disney!!! I know most of you silly americans think hey no big deal... But for a little Canadian girl this is a BIG deal.. Being the poor folk that we were growing up.. Disney was not even close to a possibility!

Now as a grown woman I find myself giggling and so excited about getting to see the castle and the princesses that I can't sleep.. How am I ever going to make it 24 whole days!!! If only i could add a picture.. but I am at work and I can't!
