I decided to implement a mini photo guide for some great products that are worthy of some attention!  You simply click on the pictures to go to that item/store. Easy as pie huh:) All these products are in my top recommendation list!  That Grandpa’s Farm down there is felt fun and my toddler had a blast with that thing.  It sits in our living room now and it keeps him busy forever!!!  LOVE IT!  All these items RAWK!

Enjoy and happy shopping!

P.S. Oh, and you see that necklace and bangle down there?…*ahem* I lurve gifts:) *ahem*

I wanted to mention my new share button at the bottom of each post.  You can read more about it here but basically, it’s a cool way to share by email, social bookmarks, print, and even save to your computer!!! 

Also, I’ve had a few comments on people wanting to blog but lacking the self confidence.  I can totally relate to this and, in fact, I had that same lack of confidence when I first began.  I still have it to a degree but I have learned to deal with, research the things I don’t know, and ask TONS of questions!  Someone is always going to know more than you and that’s just a fact.  Deal with it and move on.   I would love to know more about investing, scrapbooking, home insurance quotes stuff, and PHOTOGRAPHY!! 

I will be answering some reader questions tomorrow!

Here’s 3 random photos I took today of a cute little bird that makes LOTS of noise, Shetland-a horse with a big head, and our goat. 

I don’t have a tripod so my sunset is a bit blurry but still worth looking at.  There was no wind yesterday evening and it’s was warm.  I could have sat there all night, in fact, had I had some camping gear I might have slept outside all night.  I’ve been having some back problems the last few days so I haven’t got out to take any pics.  I thought I’d share the usual horse pictures.  They seem to like to hang around the house which I find slighty irritating for a couple of reasons.  1 (and the most important) is because Truett can get out of the yard easily so it would take no time at all for him to get underneath those horses and get hurt.  The second is I don’t want any more damaged goods!

I talk about Elmer so often that I forget to mention Samuel, the famous actor & escape artist.  Afterall, he was in the Tommy Lee Jones movie “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” and he knows how to unlatch gates and even untie knots.  He’s not the prettiest horse but he is smart. 

ooooo, I want one of my own.  Hey, wait…maybe if I sweet talk my man he’ll give it to me! 

These photos were taken by my man!

This is my man:)

This is our good friend who was kind enough to invite us over to help bring in the New Year:)

And here they are having man talk.

Finally, here’s 2 of my kiddos (the oldest and the youngest) watching.

Elmer is beautiful horse and he’s quite large compared to the other horses.  You should see his shoe size.  I’ll have to take a picture of a normal horseshoe and his horseshoe so you can see the difference. 

Oh, he’s hiding behind a century plant.
