Life in a Day.....or two. You all are fun, interesting, thoughtful, amazing ...

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING ALONG!!! 

I find this all INCREDIBLY interesting....

We are all SO varied...but..then again...we are not...Because...Well...

I'll finish that sentence at the end of the post o'pictures :)

ENJOY the lives of people you do not know... but who you are connected with via this blog or who knows how else! 

Moments from yesterday and today... (okay..one or two pics are not EXACTLY from yesterday/today but.....

following the rules is for wimps.)

A reader's daughter had her FIFTH birthday today...and I think the Momma deserves some sort of creativity award for that cake...and an anti-dentist badge of honor ;)

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Another of our readers is going through a major house remodel.

She wanted special note taken of the drywall dust on the books & the sheet of plastic behind her daughter's back.


Also, the reader said her kids were very confused by her snapping pics of them 'mid-action'...teehee :)

Readers (oh heck..they are my nephews ;) building sand castles yesterday.....and.......

...in "The Magic Kingdom" today!!! They are on a well-deserved vacation....

I am THRILLED they are LOVING this time away from their rather intense daily schedules...

 A reader enjoyed a delicious coffee and Christmas light tonight!

 

A reader...
New. Life.   LOVE.

 

A homeschooling reader gives us her day...above...she said this is the view she has of her son most school hours.  

LOVE THIS!  Nice?!! dang!

Little Girl "Recess"

Piano Lessons and Piano Practice... LOVE it!

Having a "read aloud" playdate/sleepover :) 

It's a homeschool thang I think? Yes? No?! I'm so warped by it all I have no sense of what is normal and what is not anymore...

Oh wait. It doesn't really matter :)  Rock it Readin' Playdaters!

And...my reader ends her day...grading. 

Cuz, as all teachers know, the work doesn't stop when the student goes away ;)

Teachers spew LOVE.

Two readers who I want to be like when I grow up...or..when they grow up? smile

LOVE this series of pictures...

Complete Comfort.

 Two readers doing "the facebook pucker".

LOVE a good pucker :)!

Yes..they read  my blog! and YES they are marvelous young woman in high school.  

Their reading of my blog makes me nervous ...what if they will never want children...??!!  bbwwhaha

OR that they will adopt 110 kiddos each :) 

If ya'll do...I'll be the Auntie for all of them! Promise! ;)

An amazing woman who happens to read my blog...her and her daughter.

Jen and her hubby adopted Avianna from Guatemala. Avi and our Aven are close in age.

About a year after Avianna had been home, she was involved in a catastrophic traffic event.

(herself and her grandparents were hit by a car as they crossed a street. Grandparents were physically injured ... but not in the same way as was Avianna).

Avi and her family are now battling an INTENSE fight with .. well... severe brain damage. 

I don't even like to type it.

But what is Jen busy doing right now? 

Putting Christmas Care baskets together for patients/parents in Pediatric Intensive Care Units.

Seriously. She is!

Soliciting donations, etc. Her and her Mom are squeezing this in...between 8-9 hour days of in-home therapy for Avianna..and we are not talking "easy" therapy. 

INTENSE, HARD, EXHAUSTING therapy that you have to read her blog to even believe.

Jenn is my Christmas Hero. I love her.

So we have a few very creative readers... apparently:


So..."How much is that blog in the window? The one with crazz-yy writeeerr?" laff

My Papaw used to sing me the real version of that song (about the puppy ya know....so...maybe I can blame him for my animal issues? hm.)

I LOVED it when he sang. He had a beautiful voice...even recorded albums and traveled singing here and there.

 A reader...about to take a nap today :)

LOVE NAPS. sigh. LOVE them.

 

These veggies were bought in Costa Rica TODAY....cost our reader about $22. 

This reader and her family recently MOVED to Costa Rica.

They are rockin' and rolling their new lifestyle and I adore their "checked that off the bucket list" mentality :)

  
A reader confused if her tights match....I think they do!!! A reader that LOVES fashion...and a good deal so I hear.

 This is a reader's bathroom today. 

Awe...Cry....Poor reader. 

I'm really sorry..... like...seriously sorry ;) 

 

A reader's son 'schooling' on his Momma's Ipad while the gift wrap waits for gifts.

(We homeschool Momma's excel at using technology to pacify...er...educate our children...JOKE!) 

This reader's family has 12 children :)

Some adopted, some not... all LOVED with fierceness. 

We have an award-winning quilter in our midst people :)))

The perfect quilt...wrapped around you on a cold night? LOVE.

 A LOVE note from my husband that I woke up too...and he did NOT know about this blog "game" when he put the note there!

Can we say perfect timing :)

 A reader saw a reindeer while wearing red plaid.  It's December ... it makes sense! 

If it was July? I'd be totally confused!

 My 9 yrs olds learning some art skillz today in their "DayDreamers Art Class"....

Who doesn't LOVE some good art time?!!!  Today they learned about "Chagall"....

A reader's sons proving that men CAN cook :) 
But only if they wear their Momma's apron...

A reader's family that has recently moved to Mexico ! Yep. MOVED. As in ... left the US and MOVED to Mexico. 

If I have my memory in-tact...they are somewhere near or not to very far away from Mexico City... They LOVE their new lifestyle.

A reader documenting how hard it is to homeschool with a toddler around...I know her pain :)

But...Could this little girl be any more adorable? She's been home from Ethiopia for over a year now...

THEY BROUGHT "LOVE" HOME.....

So...I'll end that sentence now....

We are all SO varied...but..then again...we are not...Because...Well...

BECAUSE OF LOVE.

Not being cheesy, not being simply full of holiday-cheer...

We are ALL connected...it is very true.

You have ALL made my days with your pictures...

THANK YOU for SHOWING YOURSELVES to us!

LUVS, from....
