Christmas in July...

I've been meaning to post these as promised however the exams has been taking much of my time lately, even now I'm supposed to be studied I guess on a break :). Remember the post about The Box, well this is a follow up to that. My Angel had her school concert "Christmas in July" was the theme. To think this is her last concert at her current school. Next year she is going to "big school" as she fondly puts it. She seems pretty excited about the whole thing I think mommy is not ready though :) anyhu mommy will just have to deal.

Salt dough footprint...

Pinterest and I have become the best of friends I simply just love everything about it. Well I think I may have been just a bit obsessed with it J, I have been pinning like crazy ever since I was introduced to it by a friend of mine. I bumped into this Pin here once and I thought it would be great for my daughter and I to try needless to say I was so right.

The Box...

My daughter’s school had their school concert in July; the theme was “Christmas in July”. The parents had to make the costumes. Ms K was going to be a Christmas present which her father referred to as the “box”. Nomzamo with everything else she could have been her teacher chose a “box” I couldn’t stop laughing trying to justify how she is a “present” and not a “box”. The making of the “box” was fun though especially with my little helper :)

Early Mother's day...

My Angel got me an early Mother's day gift today :), she is so adorable.

A brand new kinda free...

Inspired by Alicia Keys track: Brand New Me

 "It took a long, long road to get here
  It took a brave, brave girl to try
  It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
  Don't be surprised, don't be surprised
   ...I'm not expecting sorry
   I'm too busy finding myself
   I got this
   I found me, I found me, yeah..."

The words above are dedicated to my yesterday. 2012 came with amazing and tough lessons, cutting my hair has given me this amazing freeing feeling. I feel like when the hair fell off all my issues fell with it, watching the lady sweep my hair away gone was the heaviness that came with it. I can truly understand the brand new kinda free Alicia Keys is referring to in this track. 14 Feb. a year ago was the day my father died, when it came this year I felt like if only I could just hide away at least till 15 Feb. :).
