"Life"

What is with life?
Always standing still?
Then stopping, then going,
doing what it will.

I can't escape it,
and neither can you.
Just make the best of it,
seeing each day thru.

Happiness, sadness,
all part of life.
Gloominess, cruelness,
sometimes just fine.

I can't escape it,
and neither can you.
Just make the best of it,
seeing each day thru.

People will always die,
and each day babies born.
Sometimes happy families,
sometimes they are torn.

I can't escape it,
and neither can you.
Just make the best of it,
seeing each day thru.

Countries at peace,
countries at war.
Some people they have plenty,
and others they need more.

Life...

I can't escape it,
and neither can you.
Just make the best of it,
making it all count for you.

Apple Cider Syrup

Hello readers! I have been super busy this week with a cooking project. I was sitting around the other day thinking about syrups and how versatile they can be. I looked up how to make apple syrup and I stumbled upon a amazing recipe. It took over 20 hours to complete, and so far I have gotten rave reviews! Here is pictures of the process and the finished project. Enjoy!

Mason Jar Snow Globe

Sundays are a pretty slow day for me. Yesterday was no exception, especially because we are having crazy weather here in Edmonton, AB. I like to do crafts to pass the time. I have always loved snow globes and I really wanted to try making one. I saw a few of these in a clothing store window display and I instantly loved them. Here are pictures of mine:

Art In Nature

I woke up yesterday morning and my windows were completely frozen shut. All over them were these beautiful frozen patterns. Take a look!

♥ The Teeniest Heartbeat ♥

Hello everyone! I went to the doctor on December 10th, 2013 and I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat. It's little heart was beating 140 beats per minute :D

"You're All I Ever Wanted"

I feel lonely even when I'm with you,
and feel sad when you're not around.
I wish you'd let me love you,
and wouldn't try to hold us down.

You're all I ever wanted,
and you'll be all I ever want.
Please tell me that's what you want to,
and with my feelings, do not taunt.

Because without you I'm going crazy,
and with you going nuts.
But I can't imagine my world without,
your touch and love and trust.

Art from The Republic of Burundi

I was going thru my picture album today and I came across these photos. They are art pieces made out of butterfly wings that my brother Manley brought back with him. The artists that make these scour the ground for dead butterflies, then they trim their beautiful wings off and make these awesome scenes. Take a look!
