Love ALL

While currently striving to motivate myself in this matter, I thought I would share it with others in case they needed it, as well.

"Above all, love each other deeply, 
because love covers a multitude of sins." 

1 Peter 4:8 [NIV]

Bunny Ears & Egg Hunts

What a weekend!! Pretty lazy this morning, writing this post via phone. With an early church service, two family gatherings, Easter egg hunts, and even a family stroll to a park, here's a glimpse into the day that now has me so [gratefully] exhausted. 
And yes I'm aware of the floral jeans with gray converse; no judgement please. You do what you can with what ya got.

Meanwhile, little man was quite the trooper. 
Blessed is He who died for us, to make this life we live so beautiful. Without His sacrifice we wouldn't be able to endure such precious moments.
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter weekend!!

It's Fun To Be A Kid

With Easter around the corner, we have jumped right into the necessary activities building up to the holiday; dying eggs, and making any and all kinds of goodies that pertain to a bunny, egg, or just candy in general.
 
And the outcome of our egg decor was a bit of everything. We each had our own egg, including her teachers. But my favorite? Well that would be the one with the band aid. Not only did it come out discolored [poor thing] but she dropped it resulting in a few cracks; hints the band aid. It still makes me laugh every time I see that thing. Gotta love kids.

There Should Be Meetings For This

Not a lot of content today, or filter for that matter. But while constantly hearing about the bitchy-resting-face, I had to chime in. As one who suffers from this, I have thoroughly enjoyed the jokes and youtube videos online. Although I want to say I was one ahead of the game, since I have been told I have "this face" for majority of my years. But I was only just recently introduced to the infamous YouTube video, and now I'm seeing it talked about everywhere. If you're unaware of the video, you can watch it here, otherwise I'll continue with some of my most recent finds. These in particular I can totally relate to.

If you can relate, then you too may suffer from bitchy-resting-face.

Have a good day!!!! And don't forget to smile, just in case.

Obsession Overload: Idina Menzel

As we all know, Frozen has been Hollywood's most recent phenomenon. One of my own personal reasons I love it so much is because of Elsa's character voice, by Idina Menzel. I have been quite a silent fan of hers since seeing the broadway show Wicked [whom she plays Elphaba, the wicked witch]. I have not been fortunate enough to actually see her live, but her live performance of the infamous number "Defying Gravity" streamed on YouTube had me glued. And now deemed a forever fan.
What is the point of all this? Well not only does she possess one of the most powerful voices in broadway, stars in one of my ultimately favorite broadway plays, and now characterizes one of the most famous animated voices in Frozen, but I just recently discovered she also has incredible taste in men. Yes, she was once married to (and bares a beautiful son with) the incredibly talented, and hands down most handsome man alive... besides my hubby *wink*... TAYE DIGGS!

Yes, this guy...
I have loved him in all movies from Brown Sugar, The Best Man, even the classic late 90s film The Wood.  

So I'm thinking as if I'm not obsessed with her enough, this just adds to it a million bajillion times more. And no I don't mean obsessed like omg I want a lock of her hair, lock your doors, jack up the security kind of obsession. That's scary. By "obsessed", I simply mean I'm an even bigger fan.

You go girl!
