My Son Has the Biggest Heart!

I had a proud mama moment last night because one of Ronnell's friends didn't get into a school they auditioned for and he was bummed for her. He said " I just want to tell the judges off and how could they not pick her, it's just wrong". Then he called his friend and asked her if is she was okay. They talked for awhile and I could hear him reassuring her that it will be fine. He is a great friend.

Yesterday, Ronnell told his daddy that I was going to be his Valentine so they will have to share me. I feel loved. Hopefully with 2 Valentines I might actually get a present LOL! Just hidden...NOT!

He still loves to snuggle with me at night when everyone else goes to sleep. He is almost as tall as I am so it's funny he is all curled up with his mom but damn I love it!

Ronnell also is a great big brother, even though they fight a lot. This boy has her back, if anyone is messing with her he is on them! Go Big Brother you ROCK.

REVIEW

I enjoyed reviewing this software. I put the Collageit on my iPhone and it was super duper EASY. I was able to make a collage in 2 minutes. You can import up to 9 pics and choose many different college templetes. I was able to edit, rotate, resize, flip, delete and adjust the border. There are 4 collage styles Mosaic, Grid, Center, and Manual. Then I was able to SHARE it with ease. I can share on Facebook, Email, Tumbler, and Flickr. My kids now make their own collages and share with their friends.

The ideas are endless~ make a college for your honey, mom, dad, friends, kids, or co-workers for Valentines Day.

Here is the collage I made:

I'm going to print it out for GRANDMA'S!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

February Day 5 Photo Challenge: Fave Photo

Yes it's another picture of my lil girl- she takes GREAT PICS! I love her hair and smile in this picture.

Every night she sings me a song using this heart symbol.....I love you and you love me and we are a happy family with a great big hug and kiss. I love you! The melody is the Barney song, lol! Then we make these heart hands and then pound it out. Every night she does this before bedtime. It warms my heart.

February Day 4 Photo Challenge~ Letter

If it was this easy, right. Yesterday I wasn't feeling so good- not sick just tired. I guess that old age is kickin in a bit. Anyways, I just looked at my house and knew I wasn't in the mood to clean. Thank goodness it wasn't too dumpy but enough for me to want to do it. But TODAY I need to stop the excuses and CLEAN!

I did sign up for FLYLADY- I love the encouragement and tools they provide. Now there is a lot going on but you are able to control what you sign up for and you can always say NO EMAILS.
