I don’t get away from my kids very often, really only for a trip to the grocery store or downtown to pick up something. For the most part, I am mom 24/7 at least until they fall asleep. My sons are finally at a point where they sleep through the night, my youngest will still occasionally wake mid night but for the most part I finally have three kids who sleep through a whole night and it’s lovely! I stopped working with clients through my virtual assistant business a few months back, just decided that with all I have going on it was becoming too much to run my business on top of blogging and motherhood.

With some time freed up, no longer having to report in to clients, I was able to arrange my work schedule for blogging to be completed each morning instead of me working a few hours in the morning and doing client work at night, I was now open to some free time after the kids were asleep and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with this time. I knew I needed to spend more time working on writing my novel or doing something that was relaxing for me that I haven’t done in a long time; my decision was made once my Dad assisted me in getting the Kindle Fire. Reading it would be.

Reading books on my Kindle Fire has proven to be a fantastic way to keep my imagination for writing skills alive and to relax in silence curled up the recliner after my kids are asleep. Since I have been choosing some pretty amazing books on my Kindle Fire I thought I would start sharing with you all the various books I read and my thoughts on them. So far I have read two kindle books but plan to read many more.

So I can honestly tell you all that the Kindle Fire is a great addition to any tech driven person family home because the Kindle Fire has allowed me more time to read with a wide array of books at my finger tips, the Kindle Fire has truly rekindled my love of reading!

The birds are chirping, the frogs are making their frog noises and the air is crisp and fresh. Spring has arrived and with that comes natures need to mate and find the perfect place to have their babies. I feel lucky that two Canadian Geese have found their way to the pond where I live, for in all of my years of having this land in the family I have never seen Canadian Geese take a liking to our pond.

I love sitting outside watching as this goose pictured above waddles around with her partner just eating up the grub she finds in the lawn. The two geese have grown so comfortable with my family that they come rather close to the house instead of staying near the pond like they did at first. They do honk when an unknown vehicle arrives in the yard or if my kids make too loud of a noise outdoors.

However, these geese do not run away. Apparently they can sense that my family is that of a loving, kind family. We have not given them risen to feel threatened and for that I am thankful. My children get to watch wildlife in it’s habitat right in our front yard. I hope that the babies will be born soon so that the kids will be able to see a mother and father Canadian Goose take care of their young.

I love wildlife but I am trying to teach my children through experience that we do not capture wildlife, that we do not feed them or interfere with their living space. It’s a learning experience and makes the children appreciate natures beauty in a respectful way. I must admit it’s relaxing for me to be able to sit on the deck and just watch the wildlife outdoors before getting started on the stressful bedtime routine with my sons.

There is a pair of ducks that frequent our pond and they are just lovely but lately they have been getting spooked out of the pond and flying off shortly after landing. I hadn’t quite figured out why until over the weekend I spotted this lovely creature at the pond…

This is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, the thing is I have seen geese before, but they were honking flying in a V up in the sky. This is one lone goose that hung around the pond all day over the weekend.

I am not 100% sure but it appeared that this goose was making his or her home by the pond, looking like maybe there’s a nest around this area of the pond for the goose kept hanging around one area looking like it was making a nest area.

Now I don’t know what this goose was doing for sure, but I do know it would not leave. I ventured as close as I could to it thinking maybe it would get spooked and fly off but all it did was waddle into the pond and swim a bit further away from me. Even with all the hussle and bussle of the kids, this goose did not fly off all day.

I wonder what it was doing and if I will see it again?

Have you noticed how popular scarves have become? I’m not talking winter, keep your neck warm scarves, I’m talking fashion, where all day, scarves. I just got to thinking about it when I saw Kelly Ripa on Fayette Satellite TV wearing a fashion scarf. It was a real pretty black one with pink and turquoise undertones. It really made the outfit. I need to get some more fashion scarves. I only have two: a reddish one, and a blue and black one. I love them, but I forget to wear them all the time. I forget I even have them, but they can really take an outfit from plain to awesome. I need to put them in a more visible and accessible place in my closet so I will think of them as I’m picking out my clothes to wear in the morning. I think with a few scarves, you can make the same outfit look like a different one just by switching out the color of the scarf. It is amazing what a difference a scarf makes.

My kids are famous for getting songs stuck in my head and so I thought I would share with you just a taste of what songs my kids like to annoy me with so that all day long I get to sing these over and over in my head, creating a lack of focus but always remembering my morning with the kids before they went off to school…

Flobots – I can Ride my Bike with NO Handlebars

Taylor Swift – Mean

Selena Gomez & The Scene – Love you Like a Love Song
