<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow! This year has sure had its ups and downs. Sadly, mostly downs. It seems like very time I turn around there is news of saddness, illness, passings etc. I have actually thought about curling up in my bed for awhile and not watching the TV, getting on the computer, going outside or answering the phone in hopes that all the "bad" will somehow pass by. Of course, this isn't going to happen. So..... I found this quote that I am really going to focus on and BELIEVE IT!!!</div>

Hi~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all enjoying this week so far. The sun is shining bright here and the skies are blue. It's little things like the sun and sky that we take for granted, but we should be enjoying so much more. Did anyone see the spectacular moon last night? Truly stunning. I am also getting really excited as I see the little leaf buds showing up on all my roses. I even tried planting sweet pea seeds this year in a pot. Guess what?? They are growing! I can't wait to smell them...heavenly:) </div>

My new pillow, courtesy of <a href="http://alabasterrosedesigns.blogspot.com/">Melinda at Alabaster Rose Designs</a>. She made one of these for herself and I loved it, so I asked her if she could make one for me. Well, here it is! I love it. And the best part... Melinda lives close to my mom so I picked it up at Melinda's home and finally got to meet her in person. She is so...sweet and her home is even more gorgeous than in photos. Hard to believe huh?

Happy New Year~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, the holidays are over and I am officially READY for 2013! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2012 had it's HIGH highs and LOW lows! I am ready for a fresh and clean start. I decided that the place to start was in my house. Although, I love putting up all the Christmas decor and looking at Santa faces for a month and having my house totally transformed to a red wonderland, I can't wait to my blue and white house back together. This also gives me a change to do some rearranging and de-cluttering. Oh the satisfaction!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some photos of my homes fresh start in 2013~</div>

I got this beauty before Christmas at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. 99% of the time my husband doesn't object to any of my "finds". This time, he DID. The boys in the house refer to this as the "family urinal"!! Nice huh??? But, it still made it on the wall by my computer. I am using the enamel part as a bulletin board! Good idea???</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Good Morning~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am enjoying this beautiful sunny , but chilly morning with my yummy cup of coffee. Red Velvet flavor...YUM!!! This Christmas season has been a particularly busy and tough one. With my Mom being ill and all the hustle and bustle, I never felt like taking pictures of my home. It was not a priority. And just when I was getting inspired to do a post ( thanks to some great friends), the tragedy happened at Sandy Hook. My decorated house seemed so..... very unimportant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But, as the week went on and I heard such beautiful stories from families of the angels at Sandy Hook I started to feel like the decorations and the happiness they brought my kids did matter. My children LOVE them and I am so blessed to watch them smile when they look at their favorite nutcracker or look for their favorite ornament on the tree. So, this post is for them and the friends who have told me my decorations make them smile too. </span></div>

Good Evening Everyone~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about all of you, but this has been the busiest holiday season I have had in years. I just can't seem to come up for air. I feel like each minute is scheduled, hence the late night posting. Well, it is a miracle I am even getting in a post. It feels like forever. Even though I haven't had time to post, I have spent time reading others blogs and have been getting so inspired by everyone's holiday decor and creative ideas. I guess that means more to try and do;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I have been busy with is my Etsy Shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MySoulfulHome?ref=si_shop">My Soulful Home</a>. We were lucky enough to be involoved in a few holiday boutiques recently which are always such fun. It is tiring, but the three of us always have lots and lots of laughs so it is worth it. And we sell a lot of our items so that is an added bonus too. We have been working hard and recently added many items to our shop on Etsy. Here is a peek:</div>

Hi~~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love it when the sun shines through the rooms in my house in the perfect way. You all know what I mean, right?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are few pics I have taken over the past few weeks.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is taken in my "blue" den. We have two dens so I have to differentiate between the two. This room gets morning sunlight so I have to be quick with the pics because it goes as fast as it comes:)</div>

The same room. This couch used to be dark blue, but I have it covered with a white French linen sheet. It is sort of a "sloppy" look, but I love it. And of course one can't have enough pillows.</div>

Hi~~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is just barely beginning to feel a bit like Fall out here in California. This is the first week we have had in a couple of months with temps under 90 degrees!! What a relief. I have taken every opportunity to wear long sleeves and jeans. And to be honest, I really need to stop wearing shorts! Even though it has been hot, the tan is long gone and legs aren't looking too pretty;)) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We haven't put up all the outdoor Halloween ghoulish decor, but I have managed to put some little white and pink ( yes, I said pink) pumpkins throughout the inside of the house. They are just the perfect touch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As summer is quickly coming to an end (Wednesday to be exact) I start to feel both anxious and relived all at the same time. We had such an amazing summer filled with so many memories, but the need of some structure is starting to become apparent:)) The kids are starting to get a bit "squirrelly"... I only wish we could have the school structure without the loads of homework and those darn lunches I have to make each day. You know what I am talking about, right?????</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week we took our last summer trip up to Silver Lake ( near Mammoth) for some fishing and relaxation. The drive was 5 1/2 hours , but seemed so quick. Lots of beauty along the way, a few stops and tons of candy consumed:) I think as you get older, you start to appreciate the natural beauty that is surrounding you. It really can be breathtaking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few images from the trip...</div>

Avery and her fish! We ended up catching 15 fish in two days! Not too shabby... Blake was known as "The Fish Whisperer" because every time he put his pole in the water he had a bite within seconds. I will admit I did not catch ONE fish, but I did a heck of a job with the net helping to get the fish in the boat!!! </div>

I am back..well at least for a little while. We just got back from a family trip that we have been waiting to go on for several years. We saved and saved and finally made it to Hawaii. We had a such a fun time. We stayed in Kaanapali, Maui. We opted to stay in a condo which was the way to go. We loaded up with food and drinks at Costco so we has breakfast and lunch taken care of. Very helpful. We enjoyed fantastic dinners out. We swam, took walks, laughed, snorkeled, swam with sea turtles, parasailed, banana boated, ziplined, ate, drank, and ate and drank more. Truly heavenly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sunsets were so unbelievable. I went crazy with the camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of the my favorite pics. We took over 400 pics !!!!!! </div>

Our wild kitten... This little guy is living in my neighbor's basement, which is along my driveway. He was the runt of his litter and abandoned by his mother and siblings:(( So, although we have never really been a cat family, we have adopted him. He won't get near us, but we are feeding him. He will always have to be our outdoor cat since my husband is very allergic to cats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His (assuming he's a he) name is JIMMY:))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all find some little things around you that will make you smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be gone for awhile, post to follow on that later on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have a wonderful week</div>

Happy Wednesday!!! It is hard to believe that in one week it is The 4th Of July!!! I am feeling less than ready for it. I love to decorate the outside of my house, but we have been so busy, I haven't gotten around to it. The clock is ticking. Our town has a parade that the kids participate in and then a big party at our local park with fireworks and lots of fun. This year my son will be in the parade on a decorated truck with his baseball All Star Team. They have so.. much fun with water balloons and water guns...oh to be a kid again.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you love to decorate for The 4th of July??? I also love to keep up the red, white and blue theme through the summer. To me, the colors just say "SUMMER IS HERE"!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We recently added some great Americans/ Summertime items to our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MySoulfulHome?ref=si_shop">Etsy Shop</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come take a look, you may find something you can't live without.......</div>

Yippee! It's Friday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Ours is filled with baseball and more baseball. I am hoping to get another post in this weekend. We have some fantastic patriotic items coming to our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MySoulfulHome?ref=si_shop">Etsy Shop</a> this week. I think you will all love them:)</div>

Yes, these are from my garden. My garden is in a "transition" right now so I don't have too many of these beauties right now.</div>
