A new hair cut..... maybe.....????

I have been thinking about cutting my hair.....

I tried to let it grow, but you know, my hair is not cooperating.

It is in this yucky shoulder length where it is easier to pull it up to a ponytail and forget about it.... which obviously doesn´t make my hair look really nice.

I have seen those girls that wear ponytails and they look cute, stylish, chic..... but yeah... I am not one of those girls ;)

The other day I caught myself with scissors, looking at my hair in front of the mirrow... didn´t think that was a good sign......

It is not that I have a bad hair cut. It is actually pretty good. I just had it done a couple of weeks ago ;) when I got my highlights redone.... I just LOVE short bobs too much.

So this is what I am thinking about. It is really pretty much the same hair cut, just one has shorter layers than the other one.....

So, what do you think? Should I forget about it and let it grow, or should I cut it and get it out of my system?..............

A short stop

Hello everyone,

I am doing well, I am still alive :)

I know it has been over a week since I was in here last and also it has been a while since I have been able to stop by to visit with you ladies. I sure hold you as a blessing so I am missing you, but lots has been going on.

I have been going to the chiropractor. Praise God is helping, but my back is still pretty back. I had 10 sessions and just today it got extended to 20 more. It is taking all my morning, which is my usual blog time.... :( So that is a very big reason.

A second thing that has been keeping me away is that my computer is in the shop, yep, my new computer....... :) it is not very big, but still needed to get fix, so all I have is my husband´s computer, that, as you can imagine, is his, which means I have very little time with it :).

So, now I need to go :) the girls need to get to bed and I need to take them there :) you know the drill, but I wanted to stop really fast to let you know that I miss you and that I hope to be back soon.

Word Filled Wednesday

Susan over at Forever His is hosting this week´s Word Filled Wednesday




Isaiah 55:8 says : "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD"

I used to fit God in a box. I used to think God works in a certain way, and that He did things a certain way.

I used to judge people when they told me something was God´s will, because I thought God didn´t do those things.

But God is showing me in my own life that I was wrong.

God can do anything, anytime and with anyone.

Sometimes we see it coming. Sometimes it caught us by surprise.

Sometimes we don´t understand it so we fight because we don´t believe it can come from Him.

Sometimes it is so clear it is easy to follow.

I know I don´t make much sense, but right now it is all I can say. It comes from the thoughts of my mind.

Have a wonderful day!

Make your Home Sing Monday: 7 things your kids must hear

I have been reading an awesome book that I would encourage everyone to read. It has been a great blessing to me, and I know it would to anyone that would read it. It is call “Words kids need to hear” by David Staal.

I wanted to share the main points of the book, because I believe if we apply them in our lives, our children, and our homes will be singing beautifully.

This book gives you 7 things your kids must hear. And then it goes on to give you the why and the how. I am also sharing phrases about those points that I have taken from the book and underline.

1.- I believe in you. To show them that no matter what, they´ll always have somebody who believes in them. Slow down to look and listen. To look and listen for opportunities to speak encouraging words requires a parent who willingly slows down from high speed of life; efforts worth noticing then become far more obvious.

2.- You can count on me. Kids long for someone to rely on, because life offers plenty of opportunities for disappointment. Make sure your child knows how important he/she is. Not based solely on what she says, but also by what you choose. What I am saying is that when you´ve committed to go someplace or do something with your kids, then don´t let “something better” come along and change your plans.

3.- I treasure you. Kids long to feel special, the kind of feeling that comes straight from a parent´s heart. Not as a result of performance. Not for physical appearance. Not earned at all. Children need to feel precious, prized, valued, or cherished—you pick the term—by mom or dad solely because they´re kids and because kids are worth treasuring.

4.- I´m sorry, please forgive me. Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they never failed to imitate them.

5.- Because. Don´t just tell them you love them, or they are special, tell them why, make them feel unique and treasure. As a weekly habit, challenge yourself to bring to mind how, and the reasons why, you´ve affirmed your child lately. Make sure this challenge includes the question “Have I shared the specifics with her/him?”.

6.- No. In addition to hearing you say no, a child must learn to take that word seriously enough to obey it.

7.- I love you. We can best define unconditional love by showing what it does. Unconditional love shows love to a child no matter what. We love regardless of what the child looks like; regardless of her assets, liabilities, or handicaps; regardless of what we expect her to be; and, most difficult of al, regardless of how she acts. Love matters too much to leave it assumed and unsaid.



If you take those points and apply them to your vocabulary when you are talking to your kids, I believe your home will be singing beautifully. For more Make your Home Sing Monday go over Nan´s

Anniversary bands

Today I am sharing a before and after photo by joining Alicia with her weekly meme "Friday Photo Flashback"

Sorry for the photo, but I had it only in my wedding album scrapbook and I couldn´t get it out. What I am trying you to see is our wedding bands. I think I had the most beautiful engagement ring. The most special part of it for me is that Matthew and I never went to see rings together. So he had no idea what I liked. He picked that ring by himself, no help from anyone, so to me that made it even more special and even more beautiful. It came from his heart to mine.

If you want to see this photo bigger, you can just by clicking in it.

As many of you know we just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were planning to go to Rome, but the crisis is hitting everyone and we thought it would be smarted to postpone the trip for better days :).

Still, it was our 10 year anniversary and we knew we needed to get something special for each other. Something that would be with us forever.

So we decided to buy new wedding bands. We still wear our original ones, but here in Spain, the wedding band are wore in the right hand and it is just a band (no diamond). They are also suppossed to match.

My wedding ring doesn´t fit in my right hand so I have been wearing a ring that Matthew bought me when we first were going out. I was fine with it, of course, but always wanted to get matching ones one day.

So this is what we found and we love it!

As you can see it is one part white gold and another part yellow gold.



This are the flowers Matthew got me too.


Have a good weekend everyone!

Thursday´s memes

Once again I am joining Carin for her great meme. I am liking this meme, it is making me take photos (or someone else :)) o me with the girls, something that I know, will be very special for them and me in the future.

No, the photo is not uploaded wrong. We were all having fun in my bed. We went to wake Noelia up from her nap, and turned out into a fun tickle fight :).

Also, I am joining Truth 4 the Journey on praising God for His many goodness

1.- I praise God for being able to start the chiropractor on tuesday. Although I a in major pain while I am getting the massage, I notice that the rest of the days, my headaches are a lot milder.

2.- I praise God for the rain. We have had a couple of colder days and it feels so good. I can start seeing snow in the mountains around us. It is a beautiful sight. I know soon I will be wishing for the warmer days but.... for now, cool is what I want :)

3.- I praise God for answering prayers. There in something that we have been praying about for a few months regading our family, and we are starting to see God leading. We don´t understand His will and leading sometimes, but we know that His ways are better than our ways.

4.- I am praising God for my daugthers. My two oldest ones are in love with reading, and I just love seeing that passion on them.

5.- Today I was able to share a little bit about our faith with my oldest daugther´s teacher. There is something that is going to take place in the school that we don´t want our daugthers to participate in. I was talking to the teacher wanting to know exactly what was going to take place to see if I was going to be sending the girls to school that day or not. Then, to my delight she mention that my daughter had talk to her about her not wanting to take part and why ( my little 7 year old daughter used to be a testimony!). She wanted to know more though, so I was able to share a little more. It is in times like this when I see why God put us in the school He did (public school) although I know it is not the "popular" thing to do among christians, and even not what I had in mind. God has a plan for every family and we just have to make sure we are doing what God wants us to do.

Count your many blessings see what God has done!
