Loving People.

Not going to lie.. 
Seeing the forecast for the rest of this week, pretty depressing.
I mentioned it in "Day in the life- Of Attitude" - Weather effects people's attitudes.. Well I know I let it effect mine sometimes. 

Give me sunshine, please Lord. I need it.
My soul does.


Yesterday Abe and I saw two of our sweet friends. We went to Thursday's on 1st & 3rd, then had play time at our house afterwards.
I must say, what a true blessing it is to be surrounded by fun, REAL, loving people.
How fortunate am I to have such friends in my life… And to be able to share my love for them {and their children} with my son.

I have always had this strong compassion for people.
Not just friends of mine..
People.
Ever since I can remember.
I lose it at times… Usually when I am not taking "me time" to reflect and when I am not praying daily.. I lose it.
Starting this blog may seem silly, So far I have only shared it with a few people.. mostly mothers… Because mothers are who I feel I am supposed to be writing for?? Not sure yet, trying to slowly figure it out..
But this is fueling that true passion and LOVE that i have for people, writing, life, and it's true meaning {which I daily am beginning to discover}.
This is my way to mumble out the inner workings of my heart.

I want to share love with Abram.
Love for our family, love for our friends, love for our neighbors, love for people on all walks of life, love for people who are hard to like. I find that it starts with love for God.

Let me be a living example of what I wish for Abram's life and heart.

Abram and Aubree. Holding hands…. Playing at home.

Mama Michaela and I.

Show the love that your heart holds for someone today.

The Fest.

When I like something, I get somewhat obsessive in the beginning..

Hence - Blog #2 of the day. Hmm.

But I may as well.

I thought today was going to be gloomy all day, but it only lasted a few hours this morning and suddenly it was gorgeous. Sunny, not too hot. Perfect play time.

"Outdoor therapy" As I would call it. It fixes everything.

We had a mini-photo sesh of course.

 We are now very excited about clapping.

I love capturing these moments.

Later on..

Rochester Fest. 

For those of you not from Rochester MN…

Rochester Fest is a big, FAIR.. minus the animals, and the rides, and the games.

So basically fattening fried food, and some good people watching.

Yep… Strawberry Funnel Cake with Megan. Whipped cream on top.

My Lovey babe.

Megan & I. On the town- Mom Life.

So that was the rest of our "attitude" day!

Get out to your local- people watchin'/fried food lovin'/"fest" !

Day In the Life- Of Attitude.

So it's only 8:30am… Morning Nap time. And today is already a Wacky Wednesday…

Abram has this fake cough/cry/whine thing he does.

Only when he is cranky. Which thankfully at this age is not often at all.

But this is currently our 'all morning' activity, the past 2 hours.

"The Cough-Cry"

&

"The Practiced Cry"

Sometimes he reminds me of myself. Even though he is only 9 months old.

Today is gloomy. Sun's not out.. not an outdoor play day -which is his fave. (mine too)

I feel like he knows it.. therefore it is already effecting his attitude towards the day.

Unfortunately, I am guilty of doing the same.

I wish I didn't. But I do.. Shouldn't I just be grateful for a new day?? 

Sunny or not, it's a brand new day to spend cuddling, kissing, tickling, playing, and crawling around with my boy.

I pray that I will have the patience and the strength to adjust my poor attitude towards the weather/ bad days/ towards other people in my life.. 

and show Abe that each day is a blessing and each day can be fun.

More laughing, less cough-crying

More book reading, less tv time

More dance party-time, less laundry time

More cuddling, less worrying about dishes

More park dates, less "it's nap time"

It's my first summer with Abe.. And really my first summer without having to work full time. So my goal is to make as many fun memories as possible..

I will remember the giggles, the swinging, the kisses, and the cuddles..

Not the dirty laundry that sat for a week, the dishes from last night, the entertainment center that needed to be dusted..

Here's to showing my boy what life is really about.. With an attitude I can be proud of.

Happy Wacky Wednesday- From Abe and Momma Bee.

My Very First.

I love journaling.. and I have always thought of starting a blog. But every time I get on here I get frustrated because I have no idea what in the world to do!

I think I need a private tutor… Not kidding. Anyway…

For now, it is rough around the edges.. does not look anything like what I imagine but it is a start! And I will thank myself later for just going for it..

Basically I will be blogging my average day.

My life with Abe.

My artwork.

Lots of photos of course.
