brownie cookies

I would have to say that my favorite comfort food would be either double chocolate fudge brownie cookies or chocolate truffles. I guess it just depends on which one I am in the mood for. Chocolate is just so yummy in general so it tends to make me feel better. Then again who doesn't really like chocolate? I don't think I can think of to many people who don't. Can you? The things about the chocolate brownie cookies & the truffles is that they are so easy to make & the stuff to make them really isn't that expensive. If you happen to try either of these let me know what you thought .. :)

Its just a really bitter sweet movie & although there are sad parts in the movie the happy parts are wonderful & full of love.

Nothing like a good love story. It's one I find myself watching over & over again. What can I say, other than it was a great movie that everyone should see.

The base of Looking Glass Falls, near Asheville, North Carolina

That would have to be the day I agreed to move from the state of NC to the state of MD. NC is my home state & I had lived there pretty much all my life & for the last 18 my husband had lived in MD. I had lived there for a short time before him & I ever got married but of course went back to NC. I have begged my husband for us to move back to NC, but he wants no part of it. He says he has a job & its just not happening. With the type of job he has though it wouldn't be hard for him to find work again.

Of course he still doesn't want to hear it though. I don't drive & my oldest is going to be 4 in a few months so before we know it, it will be time for her to start school & it just makes me upset to think of all the things I'll have to miss out on because he is the only real family that I have in MD.

I really hope that he will have a change of heart so that we can make this move back to NC. All of my family is in the state of NC & his parents & siblings are in MD. Of course it makes it that much harder because his Mom doesn't care to much for me.

Plus there's nothing like being able to be near your own family especially when you are all very close. Family is very important to me & I truly feel that if I had not agreed to move from NC to MD that we would still be there today. Don't get me wrong I get to come visit probably more often than a lot of people do when they live in another state away from family, but I have to say that it just isn't the same. I mean when I'm home I miss my Mom & all my other family & when I'm visiting my family I miss my husband because he has to stay home and work.

Nothing like being able to be in the same state so that you can visit family & do fun family things together and not have to be with some and not all. You know? So although my husband is saying that this is not going to happen I will never give up hope for it, because one can always dream right? :)

Cara Bella Photography is giving back! YES! that’s right giving back. For every session done during the month of Aug. Cara Bella will be giving 50% from all those sessions to Duke Children’s Hospital. What a fantastic cause. So many children stuck in a hospital room for whatever the reason maybe, so we thought it wold be a great idea to give 50% to this cause to maybe help make it an easier adjustment for those who are having to stay for any given time. All children are special & its a pleasure for Cara Bella to be able to do something for these kids in our community. Don’t delay book your session today! Also be sure to tell all of your family & friends about our giving back to the children promotion. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post & thanks in advance for your support in this event!

Finally got a chance to come back and visit my family & friends here in my home state. I usually try to come back and visit between every 6-8 weeks but sometimes it ends up having to be a little longer than I would like.

My oldest daughter has been here for a few weeks visiting Nana & other family & she has been having a blast.

I went & had my hair done yesterday back at home & then we went & packed up the car & hubby drove my youngest daughter & I here.

It took us longer than usual because of traffic & then we ended up hitting some rain but we made it. We stopped at walmart to get a new charger for my phone & the bay (she’s 2) wanted to get some flowers for Nana, so we picked out a nice bouquet of pink roses for her.

The best part is that my Mom has NO idea that we were even coming. She actually had just went up stairs to get ready to get in the bed. My Sister-In-Law some how managed to get her to come back down stairs. The look on her face when she back back through the garage door and saw us standing there was priceless. She was so excited.

My oldest daughter didn’t know that we were coming either so she was very excited too. The girls were very excited to finally be seeing each other again. They are best friends so you can imagine how sweet that little reunion was.

Its now 6:22 AM, Hubby left about an hour or so ago heading back home so he can get ready to go back to work on Tuesday. Also our car likes trying to over heat with this really hot weather so he didn’t want to wait to late into the hot part of the day to leave & try to get home. Good thing he is a Full Service Auto Tech so if anything does happen he’s got that to his advantage. Let’s hope it doesn’t though.

Not sure what we will be getting into today with it being our first day in town. I know I want to at some point go see my Grandpa who just moved here from Maryland. I haven’t seen him in a few months.

I also would love for there to be a cooler day so that we can maybe take the girls to the zoo or something fun like that. Kailee has never been yet.

Have to look online here in a bit to see if I can find any other fun ideas for places to go that are low or no cost. We love to stay busy & have fun.

That’s one of the advantages to getting to work from home. My business goes with me wherever I go so I can work as mch or as little as I want too. For me family always comes first so having a home business that allows me to stick by that is so amazing.

If you want to learn more on how you can earn an income that makes a difference from the comfort of your own home, then don’t delay lets talk TODAY!


Today I thought about you
And as I reached for the phone
I suddenly remembered that the good Lord called you home

It seems like only yesterday that I saw your smiling face
And although I no longer can
No one could ever take your place

The laughter we shared
And the few shed of tears
They are still fresh in my mind
Oh how I wish that you were still here

The love I felt for you still grows stronger everyday
And even though God has called you home
In my heart is where you will stay

In that split second as I reached for the phone
I wondered what we would talk about
If you happened to be home

It hit me like a ton of bricks when the reality set it again
I can no longer pick up the phone
And call one of my dearest friends

As soon as I get to heaven’s gate
You will be one of the very first that I’ll be looking for
We’ll talk, we’ll laugh and we’ll carry on just like all the years before

Oh what a glorious reunion it will be
When we meet again on heaven’s beautiful shore!

I LOVE & MISS YOU SO MUCH NANNY!

HERE’S TO THE MEMORY THAT WILL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER

WORLDS BEST NANNY

There’s no other like my Mother
So kind, gentle & sweet
There’s no other like my Mother
For whom my love runs very deep

There’s no other like my Mother
She’s truly one of a kind
There’s no other like my Mother
And I feel so blessed that she is mine

There’s no other like my Mother
None who could ever compare
There’s no other like my Mother
She always shows she cares

There’s no other like my Mother
She’s my hero & my friend
There’s no other like my Mother
She is a God send

There’s no other like my Mother
And of this I’m very sure
There’s no other like my Mother
And I couldn’t have asked for more

There’s no other like my Mother
She has such beauty & such grace
There’s no other life my Mother
And no one could take her place

There’s no other like my Mother
She is strong enough to pull through anything
There’s no other like my Mother
And she she is so deserving of this name

There’s no other like my Mother
And I’ve been so blessed through all of the years
There’s no other like my Mother
And without her I would not be here

There’s no other like my mother
She has such compassion & such love
There’s no other like my Mother
A true gift from God above

TO HONOR MY WONDERFUL MOTHER & TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE THROUGH THE YEARS AND STILL DO. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH MAMA!

A Beautiful face, with a sweet soft spirit & a loving heart full of faith .. This is what I see when I look at you, my beautiful Mother!
