New Addiction - Pinterest!!

It took a bit but I am now on Pinterest and I am addicted. I love it and can not wait to have some time to really work on my boards.

What is it? It is a site where you pin things you like - whether it is recipes, food, crafts, jewelry, animals or what not.

My favorite is my Animal board... I love animals and am always looking them up on Stumble... they funnier the better. These are so cute:




Another favorite is my Quotes board!


Here is my site and I would love for you to repin some of my pins and follow me:

Hope you enjoy browsing my Pinterest site!

What are you the Most Proud of?

As I was sitting at my computer trying to decide what todays blog topic would be my mind kept wondering away. So I thought well that has got to be my topic for today!

What are you the most proud of in your life? What I am the most proud off is not something I created but rather what my son and his wife created - my two wonderful grandsons. They make my world go around, there is nothing I would not do for them and my days are not complete with out them.

I spent most of my vacation time this year babysitting as we did not want the youngest to go to a day care yet- he is only 9 months old. Next year I am taking 2 months off work to keep them full time.

We love to do things together - 2 weeks ago my hubby and I put the oldest grandson, 10 years old this month, in our local festival parade. He had a blast with his 4 wheeler( we gave this to him last year for his birthday and grading) passing out freezies to the little ones along the route.


Then it was off to the fairground where he went on a few rides and did what every mother and grandmother wants to do with their young children...lol...Put them in a bubble!

Sunday I had my youngest grandson boy while his mom spent some alone time with his oldest brother, is he a handful now but loved every minute of it...it is so rewarding to want him do new things and to explore....although some of the exploring was scary!


Children are what the makes the world go around - hope you enjoyed a peek at my world.
