Finding Beautiful Free Fall Photos Online

I was listening to a podcast over the weekend and they mentioned a service they use for finding beautiful photos for posting on their blogs and media sites.  The recommended site was Pixabay.com, it's so easy to use and since I was doing some research on creating a fall blog post I thought I'd share my top 10 photos I found on the site.

What's Inside the #MamaVoxBox?

Random sightings of beauty and hearts, ww entry

How many times do you randomly stop and look for beauty and hearts?  I see them all over, I guess it's because that is what I love!  What is your favorite sight to see?

The Beauty of a Red Flower I found on my walk to see my nephew.

The beauty of an Angel in the Seattle Children's Hospital Gift Shop.

I found these heart sunglasses, I've been looking for them for a while!

The beauty of a sunburst behind swirly clouds.

I see my reflection, my Sister-In-Law Tina and I went on her first outing from the hospital and we found this Heart photo!

3 Ways to Support Each Other

I went for a walk with my in-laws, husband and family at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary here in Naples, Florida a few days ago.  I really enjoy walking along the boardwalk to see the wildlife and nature.  It's very peaceful and a great way to spend some quality time with my family.  Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary occupies approximately 13,000 acres in the heart of the Corkscrew Watershed in Southwest Florida, part of the Western Everglades.  They routinely change art work inside the visiting center and this month they had a unique artist named Olivia Bouler.  She started drawing and painting when she was 11 years old.  She wanted to help support the Audubon society and asked if she could contribute her artwork to help raise money.  

The first thing I noticed about this bird was the upside down hearts. <3

What a great way to share her talents and help raise money to support her love of Nature.

This month's Heartbeat Magazine February Edition is out.  Here is the latest Cover.  Enjoy!

3 Ways to Support Each Other...

1.  Go for a walk with your family this will help support family bonding time.

2.  Create something that could be useful to support an organization you love.

3.  Snap some photos of your sisters or brothers embracing each other.  You can look back on it and remember the sweet hug and cherish the moment!

Please leave me a comment and share how you support each other!  If you participate in Wordless Wednesday than linkup.  Check out this months giveaway, a beautiful designer Heart necklace from Sassy Lemonade.  

PS.  I will be participating in my fourth co-hosted Bloghop with Katie from Dysfuntion Junction.  Please stop back by tomorrow to join us and linkup! :-)

Six Reasons Heartfelt Moments are better than Chocolate, WW Entry

Since it's the first of the year, I've been sticking to my exercise regime but have had an incredible desire for chocolate. In order to focus my thoughts on other things I found six reasons heartfelt moments are better than chocolate.  Recently I've been using the Calorie Count app to help me track my progress on my iPhone.    Here are my six snaps from this week that have been helpful.

1.  Go take random heartfelt pictures of flowers!  I went to Lowe's and walked out into the flower garden, took some really pretty pictures and thought this flower was a real beauty.  

2.  Take a few heartfelt moments and look for hearts in your food.  Here Jake found a heart shaped nugget. 

3.  Visit an art gallery to find heartfelt artwork.  

4.  Be creative and draw your own hearts on craft paper, then frame them.

5.  Stop to look up in the sky and see the pretty day.

6.  Head outside and see the setting sun.  (I <3 sunsets!)

What are your heartfelt moments this week that have helped you?  Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know!  Happy Wordless Wednesday to those that participate and have a great week to everyone else!

A Fool-Proof Formula for Making Dreams Come True

I completed a few things today to help in making my dreams come true!  I read a Quote of the Week: 

If you can Dream it You can Make It! - Walt Disney

Saw this adorable artwork on Facebook, a great visualization!  I think I'd like to have it on my daughters wall!  Then I spent time with my friend Shelly Aristizabal at Venture X, she is launching a new website and we were reviewing the exciting layout.  Venture X has office space for business owners, conference rooms, large rooms for seminars or events and so much more.  It was my first time visiting and if I need to host an event in the future I'll be sure to check them out.

I enjoyed watching tonight's sunset.

Then surfed Instagram and saved this nail art idea for the Heart of Fashion : Nail Heart Art!  Love the Design by Kaitlin Ferland

What's Your Formula for Making Your Dreams Come True?  

Comment below, I'd love to read about them.  Join my Blog hop if you have a blog you'd like to link up for Wordless Wednesdays, sometimes not so wordless.

Gingerbread House and Holiday Cookies, so many Decorating Decisions?

My parents have 10 grandkids and this holiday was the first time they had all of them together.  We had an early celebration on friday and even had professional photos taken.  This months cover will be a photo of them with their 10 grandkids.  Can't wait to share soon!  After the photo shoot, I took my niece and my kids over to my in-laws and the kids made a Gingerbread house and we made 12 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange.  There are so many choices when it comes to creating your Gingerbread House masterpiece.  How do you decide?  With the cookies we made a mix of cookies, and each one was so different and delicious.  It made for a wonderful afternoon and evening with family!  Heartfelt memories for my kids and for me!  That's my favorite part of the Holiday season.

Building the Gingerbread House, so many steps.

         

Cousins enjoy the finished results!

                                             

Grandma & Grandson making the cookies.

                                              Oh so delicious!!
