The K-Man's SPT

Usually, Tuesdays are my days to take interesting and

fun pictures of myself.

However this Tuesday is the K-man's SPT-

I call it "What I have learned from watching my Momma."

Yes, there is a story behind these pictures...I was busy trying to get things done around the house and the K-man needed something to do. I gave him my camera and he was busy for about thirty minutes. There were wonderful pictures of toys, plants, fans, and laundry... But these were my favorites! Hee Hee! I just laugh looking at them!

SPT- Something...

The SPTs for this month are all related to the phrases often heard around weddings:

Tuesday, may 6 something old

Tuesday, may 13 something new

Tuesday, may 20 something borrowed

Tuesday, may 27 something blue

If you haven't noticed, I have taken a blogger break...but I will catch up a bit today

with two SPT's:

Something borrowed: I love to share books! Books are made to be shared don't you think?...this book was borrowed from Holly- Thanks Holly! Great Read!

Something Blue: My K-man's eyes!!! It's so unique that K-man has big blue eyes because neither me nor my adorable husband has blue eyes! When he was a baby we kept waiting for his "baby blues" to disappear, but they only got bigger and more blue!

SPT- Something New

The SPTs for this month are all related to the phrases often heard around weddings:
Tuesday, may 6 something old
Tuesday, may 13 something new
Tuesday, may 20 something borrowed
Tuesday, may 27 something blue

It's really so funny how I never know what in the world I am going to do for a SPT, but something always happens at the last minute to help out... once again-

Do you see what I see in this picture?!? ...On the way "home" (to my parent's house in South Texas) I spotted a special find on the side of the road and I made a mental note to make a stop there on the trip home on Monday.
Yes, my something new is this little wooden flamingo! I spotted her driving 70ish miles an hour-Ha! She was at a tiny shop on the side of the road! I love fun, unexpected finds like this! Now- it's all about the name...

What 's a good name for my good natured little pink gal?

Where do you think you will find her?

SPT- Something Old

The SPTs for this month are all related to the phrases often heard around weddings:

Tuesday, may 6 something old

Tuesday, may 13 something new

Tuesday, may 20 something borrowed

Tuesday, may 27 something blue

Check out Lelly's Blog to get in on all the fun with SPTs!

Today is something old...No, it's not just a picture of me!

Look up-It's the pink Texas A&M cap! I have had this cap since college -YIKES! Yes, this poor little pink cap is around 10 years old! The sad thing is it's totally my "go to" for bad hair days, quick dress days, outdoor days...actually when I think about it, when am I not wearing it??!!Every girl needs a good (Old) cap!

Little Bit was home with me today because he was running fever-Poor little guy! However he was lucky enough to get in on my SPT!

What is your something old?

Do you wear caps?

SPT- Going Geen

Ok, I know I'm a day late, but I don't think Lelly will mind, right? Basically this SPT for this week has to do with what we are doing for our earth... (Earth Day was yesterday, April 22nd).

What got our family thinking green was the concept that we have been teaching both our boys since they were born~ "God made the world and everything in it". Hmmm... If God made the world and we love God, how should we live our lives to be pleasing to him? Hmmm...Take care of the blessing He has created around us! This thought can continue going in many areas BUT TODAY let's stick with being green~


This is our third season to have our own garden with 8 rows of wonderful organic-ish veggies being grown without using polluting chemicals. "Real" veggies are soo much better!
We continue to visit our farmers market for fruits, veggies, and flowers instead of always buying from grocery stores where their items are often massed produced using all kids of "stuff" to make them bigger and better!
We have started using these wonderful reuseable bags from Reusable Bags . Now if you are a sceptic on the capacity of these bags- in these two bags I was able to have: 6 lb of ground beef, 3 (4lb) roasts, 3 loaves of bread, 3 BIG containers of Gatorade and some other little things! I am always impressed with these bags!
We try to use our regular dishes instead of the "use one time and toss" products-Easy but every thing helps!
We store our leftovers in glass containers...it is overall better for YOU (plastic products start to give off yucky stuff over time and you don't want to use them in the microwave)!

We also make an effort to eat our left overs (which always look better in glass containers!). Energy is being spent to make these foods. Also, farmers are having to use "stuff" to make foods bigger and better because there are so many more people in this world to feed, while there are still only a very small percentage of farmers- just think about it and eat your left overs!
Finally we recycle! Anyone can do this!!!
Cheese!

God created this world!

What are you doing to let Him know you love him and are aware of the beautiful blessings around you!

What was I thinking?!?~ SPT

When I left this morning for work I had no idea what I would do for today's SPT...never fear!!!

Today HAD to be a short day at work because my adorable husband is out of town...well, that being said- I had to eat on the go (between the nursing homes I work for) and didn't have time to nook my left over pizza...
COLD PIZZA- YUCK... What was I thinking!?!

I guess I have just been out of college too long~

Today was a challenging SPT for me...I really had to think! A bit hard for a girl after she gets home from working!!

when you are cleaning the kitchen, or sitting on the playground, driving the carpool, browsing through target...what's going on behind you? something funny? colorful? disturbing? tempting?
I never have to worry about what is going on behind me while I am at home because our WONDERFUL Shelby is always on the look out! She is the most perfect fit for our family. She became part of the family long before the boys and now she thinks she is one of their parents! The K-Man and Little Bit just love her...However after looking at this picture It makes me wonder what Little Bit is up to?????? Shelby why aren't you watching him???
AAWWW... Kisses from the watch dog!

Though I have mentally done all the SPT's the last couple of weeks I haven't actually participated with a post. So, this week I am trying to turn over a new leaf!

This Week: Your feet will bring you to wear your heart is...

My feet always guide me back here...at home with my boys! My perspective on life has really changed since "The Move" almost a year ago. I have had the chance to truly focus on my family and our relationships because that was all I had...AND I have learned that having my boys is enough for me (with a sprinkle of girl time here and there!).

What a cute feet family I have-Ha!

SPT- Whats in a Name?

Ok, this is my first attempt to get in on the fun of SPT. If you would like to learn more, check it out Here .

Today's SPT was to share about the "name" of your blog ... To keep this post short my First Post describes a lot of where the name "forever flamingo" originated.



Basically, WE flamingos are a group of girls that have become the "Ya-Ya's"! Over the years (about 7 years now!)we have become the best of friends. We have been through A LOT!!! About 7 months ago (when I started this blog) we were moving from Houston to this very small little community about 6 hours away from my flamingos. Blogging was one way that I was going to let them know what I was up to while also getting to experience their day to day lives too. It has been fun. None of us have skipped a beat! I will always...FOREVER be a FLAMINGO!



Now when you are a flamingo...you have to love pink (or just have fun with the color)and you have to have flamingos all over your Laundry Room (Ok...that is the only place my adorable husband allows my obsession-Ha!).

How did you name your blog????
