Justice for Star..

I could not believe this story when I seen it.. I just do not see how someone could be so disturbed. (This is all I can say about this for now)

However.. I have heard multiple conflicting updates about this story; so, I am not sure what the whole story is... so, I will try to stay caught up on it.

Although, rumor has it that there are other's involved; and the FBI has gotten involved. I will keep you up to date on it.

If you know anything for fact on this story.. Please Share!!

The deer that we caught on camera..

My husband loves to hunt; so, I got him a couple trail cameras for our Anniversary and he has been so excited to see the deer that are lurking by his stand. However, non of them have been old or big enough to shoot... I love that he don't kill everything he sees!

Camera #1: Doe

He put the first camera out on 10/31/12 and the second on 11/6/12 and has already captured over 200 pictures.

I am not a hunter, but I love seeing the pictures of these beautiful creatures.

The Doe in the picture on the left is from camera 1, we have a lot of pictures of her and a few other's feeding and just hanging around.

Camera #2: 4 pointer

We have to change Camera #2's date and time; but it caught 142 pics in 2 days.. And the Buck on the left was one of the deer that was captured the most.

He's only a 4 pointer; so, he has plenty of time to grow and mature! Isn't he gorgeous?

Camera 2 also caught a nice 8 pointer, but I'll wait to get a better picture of him before I share!

Nature is such a beautiful thing; I love looking at the deer and admiring how amazingly beautiful they are!

Need a Wooden Swing Set or Playhouse?

Every Kid loves a swing set, slide, andor tree house... I know mine do!

My husband built our kids a tree house out back and the kids LOVE IT!

So, if you are looking to purchase a traditional swing set or a miniature (play) house; check out WillyGoat.com because they have some nice play equipment for kids for decent prices (see same day shipping).

Playhouses are an awesome gift for birthdays or Christmas!
My best friend bought her kids a wood swing set, similar to the top picture in the ad here; and she says it was the best present she ever got.

So, if you are thinking about buying a swing set, play/doll house, trampoline, or any other outdoor gear for your kids or facility... check out Willy Goat, they have a ton of cool products!

Life's weekly inspiration...

This week I thought I would share a song with you all that I love.. "A Beautiful Day" by Indie Arie. If you are a faithful Good Morning America (GMA) viewer, you will recognize it!

The lyrics say it all! Just these three short sentences below make you want to have a beautiful day.. a happy day!

"Let's make this a Wonderful..

Let's make this a Powerful

Let's make this A Beautiful Day"

I first heard this song on the radio, but did not know the artist so I couldn't find it. Then one morning I was watching GMA and Indie Arie was on, singing it! Come to find out Robin Roberts worked with her on it when she was diagnosed with cancer a few years back; it's been awhile (I'm not sure of all the details, sorry).

I feel in love with this song and whenever I would wake up in a bad mood or feeling like I was gonna have a crappy day...

I would turn on this song and fell better in some way or another.. It's hard to describe really!

Anyways.. lol. I hope you listen to it this week and have A Beautiful Day!! :)

Listen and read the Lyrics of A Beautiful Day on this YouTube Video..

We Bought A Zoo...

After the death of his wife, a father decides to go house hunting in search of a new beginning for his family. However, when he finds the perfect house it comes with a huge surprise.. a Zoo! With the challenges of his emotions over his loss and the struggles of learning how to run a Zoo, Benjamin gives it his all to make Life better and the Zoo a success!

I watched "We Bought A Zoo" last night for the 4th time; and I would definitely suggest that if you haven't seen it yet, make it a point to! It is a great movie for the whole family; and based on a true story, which makes it even better (in my opinion).

I think it is inspiring to watch true stories where people overcome the worst obstacles in Life; like the "Happier ever After" in the end... well being happy again at the least.
