Sometimes What You Are Looking For In Life Is Right In Front Of You..

A short while ago I was talking about wanting to become a mountain lady...learn to hike and become one with nature. Ok, maybe I didn´t exactly put it like that...but getting in touch with nature was high on my to-do list. I have been using the community hike challenge in order to discover beautiful places to hike and get in touch with nature but you know what? I didn´t really have to look much further then my own backyard....

From my favourite movie, The Wizard Of Oz, when Dorothy is asked what she has learned she responds, "If I ever go looking for my heart´s desire again, I won´t look any further then my own backyard. Because if it isn´t there, then I never really lost it to begin with."

"Oh Auntie Em....there´s no place like home!!"

"My friend, a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.."

I appreciate all the sleep advice I got on my last post...I actually put one of the suggestions in practice last night and turned off the computer an hour and a half before bedtime and I read some...just a magazine because I was being entertained by my children who thought it was fun to draw eyes on the bottom of their chin and then lay upside down with a cover over their face, so their chin became a face and their upside down mouth was the very weird mouth to the creature their chin was suppose to be, I didn´t get pictures so you´ll have to trust me on this one when I say it was very.....artistic....they are such creative little buggers...wonder where they get that from...

Eh hem.......don´t look at me!!!! It´s probably their father.....

In two weeks my vacation starts and I am so looking forward to four weeks of doing anything and nothing- but most importantly what I want!!!

Four weeks to take more walks in the beautiful woods around my house with my furry friends...

Time to try out some yummy new recipes like this one....

This was yesterday´s dinner, Spicy Honey Chicken Thighs. You can find the recipe HERE.

I look forward to taking a road trip or two with my honey and kiddos....

Or just having time to do like Ferdinand the Bull....and smell the beautiful summer flowers...

What are you looking forward to this summer vacation?

As always, I am grateful for those of you who take time to stop by and read about my humble life and for those of you who leave a comment I send you an big warm hug...can´t tell you how happy those comments make me :-))

Until next time my friends....
