A Dose of Everything

One of the important things we teach our children is how our choices result in consequences.

So many people cringe when they hear the word consequence. 

Folks, a consequence is a result of a decision.

It's not always a bad thing.

For Ava, well, let me brag. She picked up a lot (and I mean a LOT) of toys, all by herself, with me only asking once. That is a big deal for my little girl!

I pulled out a "happy consequence" for her excellent choice.

She was thrilled with her chocolate chip ice cream!

Now that is a happy ending for both of us.

 My bathroom window has had lace curtains and linen drapes.

The problem with lace is that it is not my taste in decorating at all.

The problem with drapes is the towel rod under the window. A little inconvenient.

The solution: $1/yard striped ticking at WalMart.

Love it, and I got enough to make some pillow slipcovers for the family room. 

The pennants add to the nautical feel of the bathroom.

 Miss Lucy fell off a bike.

No, really.

She likes to ride the tricycle around outside. She can get on and off, and scoots backward in circles.

I was with her, sweeping the patio, and I saw her try to go forward, get stuck, and as I was running toward her in slow motion (um, not literally, it just seemed that way),

Miss Lucy face-planted on the concrete.

It was traumatic.

I think she needs a shirt that says, "You should see the other guy".

I'm so blessed to have my creative Ava.

I need some frames for my custom-designed watercolor paintings.

Are you ready to welcome June? This year is going by so fast.
