Aloha Blog Hog

I'm just going to post the Link for the Aloha Blog Hop. My computer is totally nuts today and I can't get the darn button to work out But here's the link http://stacysrandomthoughts.com/2012/11/nagging-mom-strike-2/#comment-108113.

That mom on strike post brought up mommy memories of my own. I spouted out a big ole comment about my darlin' young 'ens. I have told myself never be negative in my blogging but that just came out of nowhere and I had done typed a whole mess. I'm a mother and I do love the kids but those kind of moments are why I don't really tell too much mommy stuff.

Cause sometimes it stinks...

                      I'm sorta' short on inspiration today, so I just thank ya for stopping by.

and most certainly if you are a mom,

You are surely a blessing!

and in return 

You've certainly been blessed!

Here's a like and a buttton to this fun blog hop. I hope the button will work for you I had some problems getting it to post. Maybe I should be in the bed after working last night instead of hopping around on blog hops but it's fun.

I hope you get in on the fun too.

More Sharing..this is for those bad a$$ parents out there

Searching for Ground Cedar on Sunday

Our search for running ground cedar starts on the beaten path but we quickly take to the woods.

Start lookin' for it..you'll know you're in the right place when you see that greenery poking up through the brown leaves. The ramblin' in the woods is half the fun. Smells of the crushing dried leaves rise up and start ticklin' your nose.

 Oh we've found a good thick patch.

This is it..

When you find it start by rake the leaves back with your hand. You'll start seeing the way it runs.

Ground cedar us an evergreen and it's a vine; be gentle and start pulling it up.

We've brought some wreathes made of grapevine we're going to use them as the base. In times past I've tried different ways; I have started with just the cedar it's self but it's flimsy and your going to be wrapping for a long time. If you're not as cheap as me you could buy you a wreath base from the store to get started.

Oh no, Petey wants in on the fun.

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! My best cowboy, good ole Pete making a few decorations for the house. You can see that Jack wore his gloves and I suggest you put some in your pocket. I forgot mine even after reminding him to grab his. It is always sunnier at the house but once you get in the cover of the woods and do a little standing around your going to be getting cold....unless you're tough like that..Jack's already put in a request for hot chocolate and hot cup o' coffee will be right on time for me.

If you live in a place that doesn't have running ground cedar, start looking around there is surely another vine or evergreen you can use to get you Christmas on. I'm a believer of use what ya' got and doing with what the good Lord has given.

Thanks for stopping by.

BE BLESSED
