Five on Friday

1. Over the course of the week I usually start thinking about things to share on Friday.  But all those thoughts went to the waste side when we got dumped on with snow.  My mind doesn’t work as well when my arch-nemesis (ie. snow) comes to visit.

The boys, however, love it…

… and there was actually enough this time to make a snow man.  Carrot nose and all. 

2. You may notice that in the right-hand sidebar there is a new, big blue, Facebook icon.  It takes you to my Facebook ‘Business’ Page, where you can “Like” me.  Consider those quotes, “air quotes” because I’m not to fond of the suggestion that you go over to my business page to “Like” me.

But, considering you visit my blog, I assume you must kind of “Like” me… unless you just visit my blog to reassure yourself that you’re not the only one who occasionally feels lost in the life of motherhood.

Either way, when you “Like” my business page on Facebook, it really helps to get the word out that I am open for b.u.s.i.n.e.s.s.   And I’d REALLY appreciate your help in doing that.   This is, I’m sure, not the last time I will put out that plea…

3. We are being bombarded by deer.  And here’s why I think that is…

The snow is masking all of the natural smells of the forest.  The ONLY smell, therefore, filtering through the air is that of the Pioneer Woman recipes I am cooking.  SO.  The deer smell it and flock to our house.

That’s the reason they stare into our windows at dinner time.

4. Kaden.  Oiy.  I’m too tired from whisking him off of the table top about 63 times today to even get into discussing his latest shenanigans.  That will have to wait.

5. I watched Minute to Win It earlier this week and the girls who were competing kept saying they were “Too Blessed to be Stressed.”  Corney sounding, but so true. That phrase has resonated in my mind ever since then.

I find myself getting stressed out with my kids and think of that phrase.

I stare out at the snow and get anxious about it…  then I see these little bitty birds and I remember that God says He takes care of even the birds… so why would we think He wouldn’t take care of us?  

Too blessed to be stressed.  Really.

And on that, rather serious note, have a blessed, not stressed, weekend! 

Oh… and by the way!  All of these shots were taken with my 100mm 2.8 Macro.  Proving that it is SO much more than just a Macro lens!
