"Just Because"

It has been entirely too long since I took some pictures. But today, thanks to these beauties the motivation hit me.........

So colorful and simply beautiful. I just adore flowers......they make me happy.
Especially when they unexpectedly arrive "Just Because."  Thank you my love!

Life gets so busy sometimes. It was a wonderful reminder to stop and simply enjoy.
It felt good to pick up the camera again.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,

Brusha....Brusha....Brusha...

These three little gadgets represent the beginning of a new phase in our lives. Can we say Orthodontia?  That's right, not only have we entered the Tween stage of parenting but we are now in the Tween with "Awr-Thuh-Don-Shuh" stage. Just when we thought we had finally achieved a consistent simple bed time brushing routine......

However this day has brought back many memories.  Memories that were almost forgotten, but fondly remembered today. Memories shared in the hope to answer questions, minimize worries, ease the soreness a bit, and assure her that meal times will consist of more than just soup and smoothies. The orthodontia road ahead will be long and a bit rough. However, in the end, we know that she will come to realize that it will all be worth it for the sake of her health and her teeth! 

Any parents out there with helpful hints on how their kids handled the ups and downs of braces? 

Now to quote a verse from one of my all time favorite movies. 

"Brusha...Brusha....Brusha...Here's the new IPANA. With a brand new flavor - its dandy for your teeth!" 

 Happy Smiles Everyone,

Another brave and gentle soul gone too soon from this awful disease. 😔
