Happy Tuesday everyone.\u00a0 I thought I would chime in with some Tuesday thoughts. We have gotten lots of emails and feedback saying that y’all enjoy our random thoughts,\u00a0 so we thought we will continue for a while.<\/p>\n

\"Adoption\"<\/p>\n

It has been one year since we met Little Miss in Thailand and became a family of three. \u00a0That day is so clear to me, and it is truly bittersweet.\u00a0 We had been waiting to meet our daughter, whom we bonded with through her picture for months.\u00a0 We were so so happy, but for her it was such a day of heartache. \u00a0She didn’t know we were her forever family waiting to love her more than she ever knows. \u00a0To her, she was leaving the\u00a0people she knew and who loved her and treated her as a member of their family. \u00a0We had a low key celebration, and we went out to a Thai restaurant to mark the one year. \u00a0In the adoption world many refer to the day as “gotcha day.” \u00a0We read in some books that the term is more for the parents, and it\u00a0forgets about the feelings of the child on that day. I couldn’t agree more, so we call it our “special family day.”\u00a0 We hope to celebrate it each year, because it is the day the three of us created and became\u00a0our own little family. \u00a0Going to dinner and talking about Thai traditions and culture is one way we can always remember and respect our daughter’s culture and feelings.<\/p>\n

\"World<\/a><\/p>\n

On a decorating note I just bought this lamp shade<\/a> and lamp base<\/a> from World Market. \u00a0It is going to go in my office.\u00a0 They have the cutest things and have often been the answer to a decorating want or need.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Mosquito<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that it is warmer and we are outside more, we have noticed that the mosquitoes are starting to come around. \u00a0At times, I wonder if we should screen in our back porch. \u00a0I have thought about purchasing one of these<\/a>. \u00a0I am curious….. Do any of you have input to share with us about mosquito control or have one of these? \u00a0I would love to know if they really work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Laser<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Getting a straight line when hanging my vintage prints was no problem with this little tool<\/a>. \u00a0I love it and have had it for a few years. \u00a0It has come in very handy when I am trying to hang things straight on a wall. \u00a0It has some suction to the wall, and you get a laser line.\u00a0 It is a great little gadget. \u00a0Yankee even uses it now and then.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lavendar<\/a><\/p>\n

Sparkling water with lavender bitters<\/a>, sun tea and watermelon juice are my afternoon drinks of choice right now. \u00a0Usually I drink a coffee during Little Miss’s nap time, but I am now into something cool and refreshing. \u00a0My neighbor told me about adding some lavender bitters to my sparkling water because we both are always making sparkling water in our soda stream<\/a>. \u00a0It is so summery and delightful.<\/p>\n

Well those are just some thoughts from me, have a great day!<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n
