Smilebox

How cool! I found a site, Smilebox Inc., that you can design virtual scrapbooks, ecards, and slideshows using your own pictures, video and music. Phew! I love doing this kind of stuff and this site just makes it super easy and awesome looking.

Ahh, summer is finally here...

Happy Fathers Day

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

Things Learned From Children

Laura wanted to share this list that she found:

Things Learned From Children

1. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing pound puppy underwear and a superman cape.

2. It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.

3. When you hear the toilet flush and the words, "Uh-oh," it's already too late.

4. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

5. A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

6. If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does not leak - it explodes.

7. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq foot house 4 inches deep.

8. Some things will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old that you'd imagine would remain in him or her.

9. Super glue is forever.

10. McGyver can teach us many things we don't want to know.

11. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

12. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

13. VCR's do not eject peanut butter and jelly sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

14. Always look in the oven before you turn it on.

15. The fire department has at least a 5 minute response time.

16. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth worms dizzy.

17. It will however make cats dizzy.

18. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

The animal dance

This has always cracked me up. Enjoy :D

Happy Birthday Belle!

Well, my little pookie bear turns a year old today! Before I got Belle, I was on a quest for a puppy for the longest time. I looked everywhere for the right one. Then one fateful weekend, I drug my hubby up to Petco to look at the pets at the weekend adoption fair. No luck, everyone was gone. So we left and went to check out the Petsmart just couple of minutes away. Still, no luck. Disappointed again, we left. Well, we had to drive by Petco one more time and it just happened to be when they were letting out more puppies! And there she was. She was the runt. I didn't know what exactly she was and a year later I still don't. She has been a happy addition to our little family. If you are interested in adopting a pet, PetFinder is a great place to start!

"Eight tips for how money CAN buy you happiness"

Money can't buy happiness...or can it? I came across a cool article that points out ways that money can make you feel happy. It may make you look at things in a different light when it comes to the old "Money can't buy happiness" saying.
