Sending my love out into the world


Once a week I am going to be sending 3 love letters to 3 family members/friends. I am so also writing 3 love letters and taking them out to random places for strangers to find. We need more love in the world and I am going by my favorite quote "Be the change you want to see in the world". My husband and I write love letters to one another on a daily basis and it is such a beautiful feeling to know you are loved the old school way. I have also signed up a random friend to receive letters of hope through the mail. 

Do your part and spread your love. The love you give is the love you receive and I want to be loved as much as I can be. 

Daily thought


We must be willing to go let go of the life we have planned, So we can have the life that is waiting for us. 

The boys

Marley the lover 


Rocky being a camera snob and Bo bo the serious one 

Say yes to water.

Make boring water fun. 
Just add ice,fruit and BAM you have yummy natural water!




Enjoy and yes NO to soda and artificial sweeteners 



All natural way?


I have been feeling a bit under the weather the past 2 days and figured I would try taking the natural route instead of the OTC cold/flu medicine that contain Acetaminophen and Phenylephrine HCI. 

I am using good old Orange juice,hot pack and Sambucol.

Sambucol contains Black Elderberry. This berry has a strong heritage and was referred to as "Medicine chest" by Hippocrates (400 BC). Egyptians had these berries buried with them and the Greeks took them into battle to keep their army well. Elderberry extract has been used for centuries by herbalists and is renowned for its ability to destroy infectious cold and flu viruses.

Hike in style.... "Heels"?


Teva sandals is now taking the gamble that the fashion-conscious adventurers can go straight from the Appalachian Trail, to the trendiest Soho bar, without having to change.

The heels, a creation of Teva and NY-based clothing company Grey Ant, are available in two styles: “Worlds Unite” (aka black and white) and “Natural” (aka tan) and retail for the low-low price of $330.00.  Gentle sarcasm right there…


And these sky-high heels aren’t just for hitting the trails or the late night clubs. Judging by the pics, they’re also awesome for letting loose on some afternoon landscaping.






April honeymoon

My husband and I are taking our honeymoon come this spring. We are going to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. We are camping in the backwoods and excited to explore the trails. We share the love and hobby for hiking and exploring the outdoors. We are super excited for our Great Smokey get away!
