Family favorite Dinner

Last night we had one of my families all time fave dinner, my kids are always requesting it so I thought I would share.

Lemon Rosemary Chicken

1 grill pack of chicken

juice of 2 whole lemons

salt

pepper

garlic powder

rosemary

Put the chicken in a bowl, squeeze the juice of lemons over chicken and salt,pepper,garlic and rosemary to your liking :)

Marinade for at least a few hours

I BBQ bone side down on low heat for about a hr and it turns out scrumptious every time. Last night I paired it with a refreshing salad and homemade ranch dressing.

Easy, Yummy and affordable :)

I'm in love...... with flowers!

I love flowers! All kinds of flowers even metal flowers :), Yesterday my camera and I took a walk through my yard capturing all the beauty.

Oh, Deer!!

This year I'm having the best luck I ever have had on my garden! That is until just the other day when I stepped out side and saw a big buck standing in the middle of my garden nibbling away!! I ran at it trying to scare it off and it just stood there for the longest time just looking at me!!UGH!! So, that is when I had to put up a temporary ugly fence to keep them out.The fence is just metal fence post and neon orange marking ribbon. I woke up this morning to three little bucks checking it out but so far my fence is keeping them out of my garden! Keeping my fingers crossed!

I love living out in the country, I wouldn't trade it for nothing! Its so quiet and peaceful and I love watching all the wild life! 

This year I magically have beautiful wild flowers growing in my yard and they are in the perfect spot just where I would of wanted them!! I'm pretty sure God had a part in this because there is no other explanation then just amazing!!

To all you football moms out there!!

Football season is right around the corner, it can be exciting but at the same time frightening! Im always sitting at the edge of my seat and it is always in the back of my mind what if he gets hurt? Its not football season yet but it has been on my mind and I thought I would share this prayer that I found!

moms prayer

Dear Lord Jesus

This is from the heart.

My son plays football

He has an important part.

He's the one

With the jersey on,

The one who stands

So proud and strong.

Please protect him

When he's on the field,

Put your arms around him

Be his shield.

I know that football

Plays an important part

Guide him always

Be in his heart.

I say this prayer

To you above,

And to you my son

With all my love.

Rain Rain go away come back some other day!!

Ugh I need some sunshine in my life! I feel so blah and drained this week, I literally feel like I could sleep for days!! I need the sunshine to spark some energy back into me. My soul is longing to be out in nature and warm summer days!

A little sand between your toes takes away your woes!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! I had a wonderful time with my family and feel so blessed because I do have a wonderful family :)

p.s. I'm getting my hair cut and colored Saturday, sooo looking forward to some me time and my hair needs some attention!!

Meet my Owl friend

At home, I love reaching out into that absolute silence, when you can hear the owl or the wind.

For several years now we have a owl living amongst us, We here it and always can get a glimpse of it. Lately I have really been hoping to get a picture of it and finally the other day it happened!! It just sat there for a long time looking around and I just sat there back in awe of this beautiful creature!!

To top it all of it was such a beautiful weekend here in the Pacific Northwest!!

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.  ~George Washington Carver

Beauty in Nature

There are times when I want to move away from this rainy state but there are even more times when I'm in love with all its beauty! The Pacific Northwest is one of the most gorgeous places on the earth and I should feel very fortunate to live here! I'm even more fortunate that I live among these beautiful ceder trees, it's like my very own state park. Spring and summer have become my most favorite time around here, I cant get enough sunshine I just want to soak it all up!

Spring time sparks energy in me, just like all the trees and flowers bursting to life!

Justin and I love taking nature walks and we found out this hollowed out log with a stream going through it, I thought you only saw that kind of stuff in the movies...

And then I'm amazed again when I wake up before dawn and see this....

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.  ~e.e. cummings
