10 On 10: May

Hello My Lovelies!

It's the 10th!
I'm linking up with the sweet new momma Rebekah.
You can read all about this fun project here.
Basically, 10 pictures in 10 hours- finding beauty in the ordinary.

Here was my day in a nutshell

 Always, always coffee FIRST

 Oatmeal for breakfast

 Quiet times
These girls are such best buds

 School time

 The last of the Girl Scout cookies
A bitter-sweet moment

 Off to the post office . . .
Oh please oh please get there before Sunday!


 The simple joys of being a kid



 My life was forever changed yesterday.
If you're a regular reader you know how much I LOVE my ice cream maker.
A sweet reader told me about this trick- 
juice + ice cream maker = slushies in 15 minutes
These pink lemonade slushies were deeeelicious! 

Oh just think of the possibilities!


 The girls approved too



 Oh hello first tulip.
Thank you for rising above the weeds.


 Kait got tired of chasing the butterflies,
so she started gathering weeds flowers.

 Chili and cornbread for dinner!


Well, that was a glimpse of my day.
Ok, it was really 12 pictures, but who's counting right?
I love these days when I 'm click happy with my camera.
It really does help me find beauty in the simplest of tasks.

I hope you're able to find beauty in your day today!

    Mmmm, pink lemonade slushies sounds amazing! I bet I could do the same in the Vitamix with frozen berries, lemonade and ice cubes...I'll have to try.
    Tulip is so pretty, great Spring picture.
