link ♥ love & a random photo + story

hello!

a friend of mine has been doing link love for so long now and last week i did my first link love and enjoyed it so much that i decided to share some more things i am a loving right now as i cruise through the internet. until i started doing this, i never realized how many tabs i leave open to things i click on just to daydream about.  check out some of the things i have been swooning over lately.

i really want this to be my new camera for next year at water country usa.  i never take my dslr because i am so afraid it will get wet.

for inspiration, i have been watching some of the videos at this site again. such a refreshing place to be.

it is the perfect time of year for this. i can't wait to make it, sit quietly, and sip it slowly, while watching a great christmas movie, next month.

this song makes me laugh, and i sure can think of a few people i would like to dedicate it to.

love this version of a bob dylan classic.

pretty sure i will buy my kids a few shirts from this site for christmas.



now, for a random photo and story.

elijah, october 2010
i took this photo with my BB while we were on a walk in our neighborhood. this was right before a reckless driver, who was going mach speed in a residential area, nearly ran my poor baby boy over.

tyler was standing behind me and i knew that if i just scooped elijah up and jumped out of the way, the driver would only have kept going and surely ran over tyler.

i literally had to jump in front of them both and stand between the kids and the car. i was not moving.

i just might have seen my life flash before my eyes. obviously the driver stopped, because i was not harmed, but i was certainly not happy.

the driver rolled down her window and before i could chew her out, she said "oops! sorry!" and sped away.  

that fast.



one last thing...

some of you have occasionally emailed me or commented about some of the clothing my children wear. honestly, majority of their clothes come from one of a few places:  target, old navy, and kohl's being the main ones. but there are some things that they have that have come from other places or i have refashioned something old to make it something new. however, i will randomly start adding where i have gotten some of my kids' clothing since you have asked.

btw, in the photo above, elijah is wearing a halloween shirt i got from target.



got a second?  i would love for you to vote for me below. thanks!
