Happy Summer!

I am going to try and get on the ball and post more pics of our fabulous vaca in Cali! Baby steps...

Be what you want them to be...

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe (ACOUSTIC)

Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder " That's...

No one ASKS or WANTS to have an addiction problem. It's not their 'fault' - at best, all we can say is that it's their 'responsibilty' to manage their disease ----and I'm really not sure how anyone in that line of work could do that successfully. They have everything stacked against them. So what if she did die from drugs? It doesnt make her anything 'less' than a very amazing woman!

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You -

It makes me sad reading comments that people are posting on fb that shed Whitney in a bad light. That it's her fault for her death...that she was a drug user etc. Who are we to judge? There is not even a release on exact cause of death yet. Yes, people die from drug use....no, we should not think of them as anything less. We should feel sad for their reasons and why they needed to cover their pain with drug use.
She was a daughter...a Mother who loved her child so much...a cousin...a good friend...an inspiration to many. She was human with faults. Everyone has their battles to fight - until you walk in someones shoes you don't know what they are going through - Whitney was a wonderful singer, I loved her movie "Bodyguard" and that is how I will remember her - loving and talented.

Cake pops!

Becca got a cake pop maker for Christmas, and has been having a blast with Paige and Hailey making and decorating cake pops! I will never see the end of cake pops! Oh well, it's all for the fun... right?

Are they just the cutest or what?

As gifts, Paige and Hailey got play makeup kits. Aren't they just beautiful?

Brandon Flowers - A Fire Still Burning

Someone had this on their facebook and I really enjoy his music and his story, so I thought I would share it with you!

Mary's "Mary's Lullaby" #1

I am ready for the holidays... I will miss Tanya Cohen singing this around Christmas! I can at least listen to this beautiful woman sing it to her son, I can't make it through this song without sobbing. I am so thankful for Mary!
