Another trip to the Japanese Gardens.  We try to go as often as we can before they close for the summer. These gardens are immaculate and peaceful. There is a very tranquil feeling when you walk around. The Iris's were in full bloom and made for a lovely background : ) Such a pretty spot to spend some time!  

Kindness Matters

Today is our good friend Sarah's birthday...she would have been 39.  Last year on her 38th birthday she spent the day doing random acts of kindness...38 to be exact. In celebrating her birthday her friends and family are carrying on the tradition! So today my daughter chose her favorite places to spread the love!  We left quarters in a bag for the next rider of a merry go round, a mechanical horse and a choo choo train.  We went to my kids favorite park and bought tickets for the next 5 riders of the carousel or train. Then went to the ice cream store at the park and bought the next 4 people who come in a scoop of ice cream! The ice cream shop's employee was so surprised at our kindness he gave my daughter a scoop : ) Please do something kind for others and think of Sarah...it will come around : )

Sarah was always so thoughtful and thinking of others.  Affirmations were given out at Sarah's service last week.  She chose each saying and this is the one we got! We put these words into action today!

Might As Well Jump!!

She loves spending time in her trampoline!  So much joy in her face thought I would share on a Monday morning...make it a good one! 

Driveway Art

A new box of chalk made for pretty art! Our driveway is now a beautiful display of colors, flowers, rainbows and signs!  The kids could spend hours coloring outside!
