What if you found $40,000!!?

I heard this story on the radio last night and it pulled on my heart strings!! If you went today and bought a couch at a thrift shop and found a nice surprise tucked in your new couch cushions....... and by a nice surprise I mean envelopes of money!!! What would you do??
Well these New York students did the right thing when they found themselves in this situation this past week.
Three young men went to buy this old $20.00 couch and when taking their first seat they found envelopes with a woman's name on them. Inside these envelopes was the name's life savings of $40,000. While in the hospital for a broken hip her children sold the couch not knowing the true value of the old thing. The boys did the right thing and reached out to the name on the envelope. They were rewarded with $1,000 for returning the money and the knowing that they did the right thing. What sweethearts their mama's raised those boys right.

Flash Mob for Amy

Some of us have had to deal with the death of a loved one way to soon. But what do you do when something as tragic as cancer ends up on your doorstep?
I hope my family would rejoice like Amy's did when they found out about her ovarian cancer. They did not dwell on the outcome, but instead reminded Amy what she lives for. What we all should live for.... the people we care about most.
I can only hope my loved ones will surprise me with a flash mob of 50 people when I need it most!!!
We all need to learn to celebrate our lives and what we live for!!
Check it out!

Tips

Who has tips on self tanning? I am so tired of being pale and let's face it everything looks smaller when tan!! I have tried so many brands and yes I end up tan, but also like a Dalmatian.  My girlfriend who is the master of the self tan tells me to mix it with lotion. But I always end up going straight for a spray can. I'm trying out this Neutrogena micro mist airbrush sunless tan 

Wish me luck! 

Any tips for next time? 

Passion

For as long as I can remember people have not been able to understand me....not even in the slightest. I am different. I accept this, but what I can not accept is the people I care about not being able to see through what the average eye sees. I do not allow just anyone in because I am scared of the outcome. I do not expect them to understand, but only to look past what seems like flaws from an outside perspective to find the good that people that really know me can find.  My passion is and always will be my biggest downfall. I do not know how to separate my passion for my relationships with caring so much it hurts from my anger that lashes out so hard it destroys. My passion will always be replaced with anger I have fought to control it, but instead I have let it ruin some of the most important relationships to me. At the end of the day there is only one friendship that I wish I could change the outcome of......that I feel was a victim of this characteristic of myself that I wish I could express differently.. it would be ours.. K.B 

Take your judgement elsewhere

Can not help it I love this clan! They put it all out there with a take it or leave it attitude.

Watch it grow

I currently live in a condo, but there is not a day that goes by where I am not on my Internet search looking for a house for our little family. The main reason is my adventurous toddler NEEDS a backyard. Mama needs a backyard too because I am dying to start a garden. Not only to be proud of my beautiful flowers and feel accomplished the first time I cook with one of my delicious tomatoes, but for my daughter and me. For us to have a special hobby and place where we can go to watch our planets grow, but more importantly our relationship.
Nola (my daughter) loves flowers, so since we can not have our garden I dream of now we decided to start out smaller.
We are starting out with this...

A small plant we purchased for $5.99 and since then it has brightened both of our days ever since we bought it home, four days ago. When we bought it it did not have any buds, but as you can see in the picture above our beautiful flowers are starting to bloom. :)
I had no idea my two year old would not only enjoy are plant as much as she does, but understand the process of making it grow. Each day we have sat on our little patio, watered the plant, and then I sit back with a smile as Nola talks up a storm and loves on our baby. This is such a good activity in soo many ways, I urge you to try this one out.
It also makes for a fun activity just walking around looking at all the flowers while searching for your plant.
