My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Too much!


As I sat looking at all the pictures I have taken and some the kids have taken, I realized that we have taken too many. As a mother I look at each picture of my adorable kids and I can't seem to delete them. Back when I had to pay for the film to have pictures to look at I think I was more careful instead of just snapping shots constantly. With my digital I have this notion in my head that I will just delete those shots that don't come out right. Well the problem with that for me is that I have a hard time deleting any of them (unless they are blurry).

I intend to spend a considerable amount of time today to delete and put the rest on disk. I am hoping that from this point forward that I can show enough restraint to stop taking so many. Not only are there just too many, I think somehow for me that it takes a little of the "special" out of the photo if I have 20 to choose from! Not to mention having to look through so many to find the best one to post! Yikes!

I am also spending waaaay to much time in the evening and early morning blogging. I love to do this so much, but I don't have time to read now and I could be using my morning hours to do housework or get laundry done before the littles wake up which in turn would give me more time to focus on them.

So from this point forward (meaning tomorrow cause I have some pics to post) I am going to try and exercise self control and wait for the great shots, and condense my writing (at least for now :)!

Would you believe that I just got up to get more coffee, that I started thinking of ways to blog twice a day just in shorter spurts! Ugggg! Is there any help for me?

Have a great day!

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
