Bully.

I stumbled upon this video and I haven't stopped thinking about it for days. Bullying makes me so upset and angry and ashamed of our nation. Not one single child should ever be a victim of bullying.

I am not a mom yet, but I will be one day. I hope that I will never have to deal with my child being bullied. I will teach them to ALWAYS stand up for anyone that is getting bullied. They will also be taught from a very young age that any act of bullying on their part will come with severe punishment that will last until they are 30.

We need to educate our children. Give them the tools and knowledge to put an end to bullying. Show them how to set an example by befriending a bullied child. It is totally unacceptable that children are taking their own lives because they have no where to turn and no one looking out for them.

Let's make a change.

Missing Mexico

Even though the weather has been pretty awesome around these parts (way above normal), I am totally missing the mexico sun and beach. I definitely need to find a job that I can do remotely from the beach.

Here is a little sneak peek from our last trip there. I am still working on editing all the pictures (just need to find an extra 4 hours in each day!).

New Look

I am sure you have noticed the new look around here. I got a new blog design from Blog Milk and I LOVE it! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

It is clean and simple but stylish. More than I could ask for.

The lovely Lena over at Blog Milk was wonderful to work with and helped me with customization. Thanks Lena!!

Cheers.

KONY 2012

I am completely speechless.

Most of you have probably seen or heard about this video by now. It has gone completely viral on facebook, twitter and youtube.

I just spent the last 30 minutes watching it with tears streaming down my face. WOW! What an eye opener. I really don't even know how to write exactly what I am feeling. My heart hurts, I am angry that this is happening in our world, I feel helpless, I want to scream, I feel ashamed that I am only just now learning about this.

We need to come together an fight for these children. To give them a voice. I am just one person, but I am hoping by sharing this video, I am able to spread the word.

Please take some time out of your day to watch this video and share it.



Together we can make a difference!

Project Life

This project is a way for me to get myself to pick up my camera more. To shoot the random things in my every day life. My goal is to take 5 pictures a week.

I am trying to be less concerned with capturing the "perfect" picture and more with capturing memories.












1. An outtake from this weeks Self Portrait Saturday project. (Jeans: Bluenotes Shirt: American Eagle)

2. Oscar sitting in the window catching some rays. He has more personality and spunk than he knows what to do with.

3. Breakfast Cookie. All I can say about it is AMAZING. Found the recipe on Gina's blog.

4. I don't know if it is because I am getting older (closing in on the big 3-0!) or just being crazy busy, but my memory just isn't what it used to be. This life planner is my saving grace. Buy one HERE.

5. This is Cyrus, but we call him Beast most of the time. He is a 130lb mastiff who sheds all over my house and torments the cat, but is so cute you can't help but love him.
