{ getting older }

Don’t you love getting older?

I’m not referring to the wrinkles,

but to the wisdom that each year brings.

When I was nine years old,

I viewed my Mom as the person who

cleaned the house, did the laundry,

cooked yummy dinners each night,

bugged me to finish a task

and yes occasionally hollered at me

for being ungrateful.

Now, that I’m grown up

and a mother of four children myself.

I see my Mom as a amazing, caring,

loving, quick witted, calm,

and enthusiastic women.

Love you Mom!

Myself with my Mom and Dad

You are the Best Mom

a girl could wish for in her life.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Mom and Me

Have a wonderful weekend.

Smiles, Paula

{ my sweet daughter }

Just hanging out today with all of you wonderful ladies here on my blog.

I wanted to give you all a big shout out and say Thank You

for taking the time to visit me here again and again.

I thought I would tell you a little about my family.

I am so excited to introduce you to my oldest daughter Ashley and her young family.

Ashley has a wonderful smile and a warm heart.

When she walks into a room she has a way of making everyone around her instantly happy.

I am so blessed to have her in my life and be a Mom to such a special girl.

She is currently working full time and going to school to become an RN. I am so proud of her because she works so hard and is always just so darn sweet.
All of us ladies know how hard it can be a times to keep up with life.

Never ending laundry, cooking, cleaning house, working, teaching, playing and life surprises.

Did I say laundry?  Oh yea?   

She is a awesome Mommy to my very first grandchild Isabella; who is just 2 years old.

Ashley grew up in Florida surrounded by the big beautiful ocean and
she still loves to spend a afternoon at the beach.

She has chosen a very supportive, loving and handsome (oh yea, just look for yourself) young man to share her life with Geoffrey.

Together they have created a warm cozy home for their family of 3.

I hope that you enjoyed meeting my daughter and her family.
Are you blessed with an amazing child?
Smiles, Paula
