My nephews were born today!!, and ohh the JOY of having teeny tiny babies around the house again, I'm in baby heaven!!.. it was a hard pregnancy, my sister in law had to spend almost six months on bed rest but she delivered two healthy gorgeous little ones and she is doing very well too!

Mikel and Lukas

Welcome to the world wee ones!!

"...together they traveled over the rainbow bridge and down the spiral staircase until they came to a big gate. The heavenly child felt a little bit anxious about leaving his wonderful heavenly home but with courage in his heart and his angel beside him, he went through the gate ... a little baby was born upon the earth! ...

as told by Barbara Patterson in the book Beyond the Rainbow Bridge

Happy Birthday Mateo!!!

Happiness is...

bubble baths!!

and an unexpected visit from my nephew. A couple of years ago he lived with us, today he is a pilot with a very busy schedule and we were blessed with his visit. He has so much love to give, and the kids had an amazing weekend with him. We were in heaven!

Hope you had an amazing weekend!!!

Today we get ready for Spring's arrival, and here are some things we do to celebrate Imbolc .

We light candles around our house during the day.

We do our first spring cleaning: I invite my kids to sweep the house and we open the front door and sweep the dust out, this is to symbolize that we get rid of the old and we welcome the new in our lives.

Today is when we prepare the seeds we want for this years vegetable garden and start planting some of them indoors.

We hang Brighid's crosses in the doors that we use the most and above our chimney, and we have a small celebration before the day is over where we write one goal that we want to accomplish this year.

I also want to remind you about my GIVEAWAY so don't forget to leave your comment in the post below for the chance to win 2 of my prints.

Have a wonderful day!!

this week we celebrate the animal kingdom, so yesterday we put our animals on our Advent Spiral...

We made window paper stars as ornaments for our tree...

We made for the very first time ballon lanterns!! ohh what a mess it was, but soooo worth it and even though they didn't turn out the way we expected them, candlelight is always candlelight beautiful and warm!!

too much excitement for the wee ones ... Good night to you all!!

Okay... so we did tons of things this past weekend,  we exceeded our fun limit (that is what Hubby said) we literally couldn't stand up from bed today in the morning. 

Everything started on Friday, we went to a late night movie Nims island, have you seeing it? my kids loved it, they will love anything that has animals, ocean and dancing... super cute, we liked a lot. We laughed a lot. 

Next day, imagine it childrens museum, not that cute but they had an amazing little jazz concert that made  the trip and then we went to this park just in front of the museum that the kids just went bananas... this proves that the best things in life are free. We had an amazing time just going up and down this crazy slippery dip, that looks like a conveyer line with rollers all the way through. Kiddo #2 slept (she sleeps a lot) most of the time and just a couple of minutes before leaving she wakes up and of course we couldn't leave so another couple of hours we stayed..





anyway  Sunday we wanted a little more relaxing day so we stayed home planting and painting and dancing and reading and eating and.... at this time I need just a couple more days of this... so much fun... people should work only from Monday to Wednesday.

Papa is really trying, but #3 still does not want to sit down, he is getting better though. Me? o no I'm enjoying not having to chase him all over the place yet.  Papa? if you are reading this don't encourage him please?...

We did have Easter, but Kiddo#1 fell sick just a couple of hours before the egg hunt, so she missed it all, it lasts less than 24 hours, is the same as Kiddo #2 had last week,  a full day of sleep and the next day they are like nothing  happened, and it was just a  matter of time for  #3 to get it so when he threw up and had a little bit of fever I just said to Hubby here we go again... so frustrating. 

The good thing is that  is a very short thingy and I can say they only get sick once a year (usually by Easter) but them being so young I can't keep them apart for them no to contagion their siblings, and I guess because of the crazy weather we have in Georgia at this time of the year is easy for kiddos to get sick. 

And I guess every story has its share of cuteness and this one is no exception: 

Kiddo #1; Mama? did the Easter Bunny came yesterday while I was sick?

Mama; yes Honey, I'm sorry you missed it, but your sister found eggs for you!!.

Kiddo #1; mmh,  ( she opens the back door, walks outside, stares to the backwoods in silence for a while) and  she inhales deep and yells out at the top of her lungs:

EASTER BUNNY

I WAS SICK

PLEASE COME BACK AND GIVE ME A TREAT!!!!  

of course by the afternoon the Easter Bunny arrived for the second time to our house not without a note saying that kiddo#1 had to wait to eat her treats until she was 100% healthy, which of course she has been trying to convince me that she already is.
