Kill Em With Kindness

I am so stinking happy ! My honey got together with one of his guys that builds computers and completely fixed my laptop! So onto blogging for me ! I have no excuse now. Not at all! I usually dont mind blogging on the laptop using the BLOGSY app but it just is so different and much less likeable without the keys of a laptop. So A ton has happened lately and I want to share some random thoughts swimmin away in my brain. This may be a bit sappy and quite frankly I am ok with that. I have learned the true meaning of strength and integrity and this has been all made an example by my Mother. My Mom has been put through the freaking ringer pretty much the past 10 years or so and without going into details I want to share some things that I have learned. In times where you are left feeling not good enough or less than someone else because the choices you made for yourself, you just have to move along. When I was growing up I saw my mom basically get left in the dark by someone who she truly cared for and loved and I can honestly say not once did I not see her presenting herself with class. At time I am sure that she wanted to let go and express her anger and hurt, but She always seemed to keep it together for my brother and I. Just recently she tackled yet another challenge kind of similar where she was left to feel small and littler than others who quite frankly were worse than making her out to be. I saw her pull strength out of a place that I dont even think she knew she had and rose her head up high and just kept walking and believing in the choices she made for herself. With all of the hurtful things and words she endured, She just killed em with kindness. She let all of those nay sayers say what they felt necessary to make themselves feel BIG and just kept on keeping on. At 24, I truly believed that my mom's job of teaching and setting an example for me was finished but I at that moment realized her job as a mother will never truly be over. I am so greatful I was a part of my moms transition to see what Integrity and Pride is truly about. I sometimes am faced with similar situations where people are just not pleasant ( to put lightly) And I have to remember that it may not be anything personal but that maybe they arent as blessed to have a positive attitude or a strong support system or have an example to live by at that. So I am choosing to kill everyone with kindness becuase at the end of the day no matter how they may feel about themselves at least they can remember who was nice to them even when they might not have been. Mom I am so greatful for you continuing to show me what it is to be strong.

On to some less gushy mushy stuff .. So I am starting to actually do some Pinterest crafts and projects and It is completely consuming my life. Here is one that I recently did and am obsessed with. I love watching vloggers showing their homes and seeing printables everywhere becuase lets face it, THEYRE FREE! (Except maybe the couple dollars you have to spend buying frames to put them in) I Found this site on Pinterest where you can look through a gallery of printed letters and make them your own. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lwr/collections/72157594587080023/ I tried to decide what word I wanted printed and I just used the word LOVE to put above our bed. I loved the letter choices so much I could barely pick . I found the ones I thought would look best in our room and decided to put them all in black and white when printing. So here are some pics and ideas to use . First I downloaded the Original Picture to my desktop

Now obviously The colors dont really coordinate with each other but since I liked the look of them all I just made them black and white to all kind of go together. I then printed them from my desktop ( Remember to choose your paper size based on what size picture frame youre using. ) I got some black frames from the dollar tree and just put the prints in them. I at one point want to spray paint the frames a glossy silver but I need a bit more time for that :) Here is the final product

I am going to do some more crafts this weekend and Will be sharing them with you all. Happy weekend lovies ! B
