BorrĂ³n y Cuenta Nueva!

You know what my favorite part about life is? Our human ability to recreate it.

The ability to start over. Clear out the past and move on. I know that I have had many chances to start over and why not start over in my 30's. I turned 32 last month and you know what? It's time to start over. The beauty of 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances is they are all yours!

start


The other day I finally got my copy of Start by Jon Acuff and ironically enough I have not started but just the cover alone has inspired so many new feelings!

So, today. I start over. And, since I am a person of exact circumstances and timing, I will start my book when I feel it's right.

The energy is almost in that place where the ruts and blah-ness are gone and you just can't live in that cloud anymore. For me it was this week and more so today!

What about you? Today is Friday, July 19th, will you hit the START button and start over?

{Summer TO-DO's}

Summer 2011 has been pretty "un-eventful"....I am NOT pregnant for the first Summer in 2 years, HA. I know. Crazy. And, other than us having two very busy children, Ricardo has been in school all Summer and well money has been tight. I am not complaining. Going to the corner store is a challenge these days, and once I get home, I want to stay home!  Can you blame me?





Our Summer has been filled with reading books, working on Santi's speech, watching movies, lots of fun Birthday parties, and lots of visits to "Gran-mA's" house. It's been fun.

Our favorite movie this Summer has been Tangled {It was Shrek last Summer}, I know every line and Santi sings every song! It's lots of fun.... I love it. It's a girly one for sure, but has lots of humor/action for the boys! Santi loves it when "Flynn Rider" gets hit in the face with a frying pan.... {My Husband thinks it's far too unrealistic and reminds me every time that he would have died in real life...ahiii.}



Just last week we got what I am now calling our favorite book of the Summer {Love You Forever}, if you haven't read it... DON'T...unless you want to cry your eyes out! Ha. I never knew children's books would take the place of my 100 {plus} page how to on life books...sitting in my living room balling my eyes out as my almost 2 year old tries to console me...PRICELESS. I kid you not. It's the sweetest most amazing Mommy book EVER. EVER. You must read it if you haven't!



This Summer has also been filled with lots of walks to and thru the park; as well as lots of nights in the swimming pool! Texas is hot and we haven't had rain in like a ga-zillion days! No joke. 

In all our Summer was great but we SO ready for the snow! If we had annual snow in Houston that is....

What was your Summer filled with???
