today's happy

one. 

Shadow art on the the road. 

There are times I find it so beautifully distracting. 

I would be lying if I said none of these were taken while i was SLOWLY driving.

Now, you will never NOT be able to see it there below you on the street - like endless museum walls all over backroads and throughout town. Click through these photos to see what art the sun tossed down today.

two.
I continue to discover Bethel Music songs that I'm replaying over and over. .. and over again. 






three. 
stepped BACK in my classroom today for the first time this summer.
stacks of boxes were waiting for me  
.. Room 11 is ready to be full of little voices and feets. 
i'm a little giddy inside. 

who You are

This song came across Pandora early this morning. 
I had to stop what I was doing.. . even if the scrambled eggs were overcooked  _ and turn the volume up. 

Isaiah 40:26

It's all proclaiming who You are
You're beautiful

Figured I would start back up with a simple Pinterest post. 

Here are a few things i've been loving recently.


.knitting and cross.stitch
.breaking my camera back out again in full force. 
.cooking and yes.. finally, baking - the kitchen is feeling Used.  
.trying out some new make.up tricks.. .wingtip eyeliner and new products.
.Back to School projects make this teacher Smile. 
.craftiness with canvases, paint and stenciling. 


I bought this a bit ago from wit & whistle and finally hung it.
i've been busy making quite a lot - some sucky, some not so bad, some possibly good. 
All of it, i've .Loved working on.

telling you about this song

Appropriate for grocery store or parking lot dancing. ..

Pure perfection.

she grit her teeth and loved me

My favorite holiday since my mother's passing is Easter. 

The words to the hymns make me cry big fat happy tears. 

Can't stop them. Don't want to. 

This year I was on a Delta plane  - gosh knows how high up in the sky -  as my family was at church. .. and I missed out on the celebration of Jesus's resurrection and my mom's everlasting life. She now sings in tune in the most angelic voice and not off key into her daughters' ears during church services where we would quietly giggle. 

We couldn't help it. 

No matter what age we were. 

Little girls or up until when this last photo was shot. 

This picture is from my mom's last Easter and man alive, does it make me so beyond happy. 

Smiling ear to ear. 

I can hear her when i look at it and she almost jumps off of the computer, hugging on me. 

the type of hug where she would always grit her teeth, almost to the point of breaking. 

I could hear her as she was loving me.

She couldn't contain it.

I'm basking in this photograph this spring.time. 

If I shut my eyes, I'm there. 

She's still here. in so many places. 

Four years later.
