B…be, beautiful, blogging

04.13.14

My little collage above.  B…be, beautiful, blogging

B...be, beautiful, blogging-berg-center

I’ve Been M.I.A. lately But with good reason!  March kinda just faded out as I was sick most of the month.  Then it was time for the “girlfriends trip” and then turn around and catch a flight to KC.  This one was to visit and spend time with my kids in the Midwest.  S and I got to attend a 2 day blog conference in KC (GoBlogSocial).

I came back with lots of good info and highly motivated! But looking around I kept seeing the letter “B” presenting itself in many ways.

coincidence?

So my mind got to thinking about some of the things that were  inter-woven with a “B” during the whole time I was away.

  • Blog
  • Berg event center (site of the conference)
  • Better Homes & Garden (editorial speaker at the conference)
  • Burke (the collage my daughter created on one of her wall spaces)
  • Be Still (the message inscribed on my daughter’ wood plaque & a great reminder)
  • Be Kind (another great reminder of what we should strive to be)

So I think it’s fair to say that maybe the message here was for me to BE more mindful of BEING still in order to BE more aware of what is taking place in our lives at the moment, (like having spent a wonderful time with my Burke family).   BEING kind because we all want to BE treated that way. AND, that I need to Blog with more passion and inspire those that take the time to read and follow me here.

So, with all that said…

there will be some changes here on my site soon and I can’t wait to share some exciting things with y’all!  In the meantime, here are some more pics from my very BEAUTIFUL trip!

SO FUNNY!

Had to laugh when my daughter instagrammed this!  When you’re sick the last thought I had was purchasing cute notepads for our event! (I’m a planner and obviously this was a FAIL). LOL

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️
