Today, I am thankful for my online friends. There are many of you I haven’t met in person, but each day you teach me new things while I read about your lives, or you share kind words with me if I need them, or you share your life and I can commiserate with you.
Thank you!
Tara, The Organic Sister, is a beautiful soul that I have met when we traveled from AZ and back. Her blog is inspirational in so many ways, but I especially loved her guest post here about how to be kind to your kids. This has become something very close to my heart, and I feel so isolated with this parenting philosophy where I live. Talk about keeping my fire burning.
Thank you, peaceful parents, for being my online friend and support.

If you are a photographer and love giveaways, check out Walk Slowly Live Wildly’s giveaway of an Emily Falconbridge Camera Strap!
I caught this article about Modernizing your Diet with Traditional Foods from The Natural Parenting Center. I just started on it, but it looks intriguing.
Have you seen this map? It takes the visual of the oil spill and puts it right near your home. It sure makes it more real if you aren’t living it on the Gulf….. and so much larger!
Great post about Family Happiness! Start living and being happy! 
Happy reading and happy weekend, friends!

My little human alarm clock went off at 5:40am this morning. The thoughts start rushing in, “Can’t you sleep in just once little girl?” ”I crawled into bed a little before midnight last night.” ”You woke me up screaming ‘No!’ and grabbing your mouth because of your teeth not once but twice.” ”Ugh! I’m tired.”
But you know what? Yes, I am tired. There is a good reason for it.
I’m tired because I played with V yesterday and because I hooped so that I could have fun and exercise. I’m tired because I did my hundreds. I’m tired because I did laundry, made meals for friends, and had time to stay up with my DH and friend to watch TED talks and eat chocolate and popcorn in peace and quiet.
I’m grateful for all of it – all the little moments that I get to live and love. Even the tired ones.

Every Monday, my mom, sister, and I get together and we call it “Girls Day.” It usually consists of errands we need to do such as the post office, the bank, or getting groceries. Sometimes we do something fun like going to the thrift store or out for a special coffee. It usually ends with eating lunch out somewhere, which isn’t always bad, but it’s hard to find a place with healthy options or things I will let Val eat.
This week, we just had a potluck lunch together at my house, and we invited a friend since she likes trying new healthy (and even raw foods), but doesn’t get the chance to much at home. It was such a nice time! Surrounded by good food and friends. Now that’s what I call “Girls Day!”
Our menu consisted of: 2 broccoli salads (whoops), fruit salad, raw Thai spring rolls with “peanut” sauce, raw turtle candies, and fresh squeezed lemonade sweetened with agave.
Is your home filled with family and friends this week?

Somewhere along the way in BlogLand, I began following Sara’s blog. I read about her rvs, houses, babies, simplifying, dreads, photography, and traveling around. She became an inspiration to me to live simpler, travel to see the world, see the beauty all around us, and her dreads were just AWESOME.
I tried dreads once before as some of you may remember. They didn’t turn out as I wanted them to because, frankly, I didn’t have enough information to take care of them correctly. They all stuck together and they got greasy. Since I wasn’t happy after 7 months, I took them out.
I still longed for dreads though. I cut my hair thinking it would be less maintenance, but I ended up unhappy with that too. Then Sara and her family were in the AZ area, and traveling near by on their way to TX. Imagine my excitement when they came to visit for Sara to put in my dreads.
I’m lovin’ them! I wake up and my hair is done. No fretting, no styling, no products – the hair is in charge. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet Sara and her family, to get dreads, and to get another dose of inspiration to keep me asking what’s next in my journey?
