Restore the radio flyer wagon

When you get your dream
Sometimes it takes you a back
Am I awake

This can really happen?!
Excited confusion
Washes over me
Freeing my doubting mind.

In that air of optimism
We will restore this beauty
To the best she deserves

The #MerPrince is planning many adventures in this hot ride to the point he doesnt want to wait for restoration.

It's a blessing and a dream come true so off to the restoration of red flyers section on Pinterest.

But I plan to trick out the wheels to carry the MerPrince and groceries.

New Beginnings New Avenue

Sometimes the best thing to do is make someone else happy.

The weirdiest thing is
you will end up happy too

I do because
I loving doing
But it's awesome when
Its doing what I love to do

Down our first real trip on the road of games.

DC⭐️Super Friends

Matching Game

He is so excited to play big boy games.

He has a great memory ...... Let's see if I can coordinate it into this game.

He is so in Love he is drumming on the box singing

all the superheros names.

I am amazed how many names he knows and it's

so awesome to see him looking at the name.

It's says Superman, Momma.

Okay I am sold.

This superhero loving curly top of mines

Is in 7heaven for a $5.98 toy.

It's the time not the money.

I was just marveling about the simple packaging when

I flip over the box and see this. Bravo for the effort.

Every little bit helps.

So some assembly required. Hahaha we are loving

Popping the cards out. Awesome material these are made

of. Feels like plastic yet feels like paper.

Time will only tell on the durability with our youngest

MerPrince aka Bam Bam

You know I am eyeing the leftover frames.

Yes........

I am .....

Always in upcycle mode

Love the little box frame the left over pieces.

There was 6 of them after we punched out

all the game cards.

The cards are two sided.

Superhero on one side

Yellow and Red awesome branding color mix.

Really like the color combo of red, orange and yellow

Now I am going to have to post the finish piece.

You know I am going to love doing it. LOL

Excited that it's going to end up being Day of the Dead pieces

Check back and see what it'll be

Always a pleasure to have you stop by

Please coming back and see what other games

we are going to introduce to our youngest MerPrince.

Simple is amazingly priceless

That expression sums up our trip to the park.

I am always saying "you don't have to have a lot to have fun".

A set of waterguns $1.99 and a bottle of bubbles $.75 made several hours at the local park awesome.

Maybe I will let my husband take a picture of me going down the slide too. If you're having a scrappy day hang with the toddler in your life at the park. If you're brave enough free yourself on the slide and watch your smile warm your heart.

I am not a big fan of guns but when they shot water who could resist. Especially when the night before you have a discussion about water conservation and the snarky toddler suggests we water the trees with our waterguns.

Trying to live a relevant life to me means time spent with my family. Being a Mami to boys also means that time is spent outside!

I am spending more time with them instead of posting about them.

I really want to be more consistent and there's been a lot of great things. But trying to be relevant the phone doesn't come to all are little adventures.

This journey is now about finding balance. Hahaha wish me luck

Love n Light until the next post

Launching our new brand MerPrinceDappertique

The MerPrince Dappertique is a unique boutique that has a heavy focus on the Dapper gentleman style.
Love the idea of creating bow ties, ties, Faux tie or bowtie shirts, suspenders, snazzy cool hats and upcycled apparel.

To me the Dapper look has a gentlemen flair with a touch of boyish charm.
Our spin is vibrant colors , superheroes, multicultural designs and love for all Day of the Dead and Halloween Art.

Bright colors that reminds me of the sea inspire me so you'll find a lot of that in our shop.

I am one of those people who rather create something new out of something old than throw it away. That means a lot of the treasurers in our shop is up cycled or contains vintage components. I truly put a great deal of positive energy in each piece hoping the owner of my treasures be filled with that positive energy of joy , love and light!
Every purchase helps me achieve my dream to be a work from home Mommy Artist.

Thank you for stopping by our blog and please visit our shop.
I hope you find something in our Dappertique that is a treasure for you.

Gratitude with Attitude

Surrounded by family in every way is truly amazing.

My cousin and I are hanging tighter than before which is saying a lot. In today's social media age spending Face Time doesn't mean the same anymore. When I say we are spending time it's in person doing something outside of the house..

Refreshing this in person time I am spending with family and I want to remind everyone to make the time. Truly blessed that the MerPrince is making memories and strong bonds with family is priceless.

My cousin that blessed us with a space to rebuild in the bay is so super amazing.

Best roomie ever and it's great that our personalities match.

When I look at how amazing things are laying out for me all I can do is trust and follow the trail.

I may not be rich by a financial stand point (today) but in family and quality time I am Rich!

So grateful

OMG Yoga Journal!

So I came across this Yoga Journal Articule called " Rina Jakubowicz's 7 Poses for the 7 Chakras"

http://www.yogajournal.com/slideshow/7-poses-align-chakras-new-year/#slide-1

The idea of seven breath for seven poses that will heal my Chakras jumped at me. Yes I can say the articule inspired me so much that today I began this journey of healing my Chakras.

I love when the Universe & I get closer because life synchronizes for me. The things I need to heal , learn and grow come into my sights.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make the horse drink unless he/she wants to.

This morning I wanted to and the feeling I got afterwards will keep me wanting to. Also the love n support Hubby and the MerPrince gave me was AWESOME!

I felt so good after doing Pose 7 , well let's be honest I was amazed that I could do it so I asked hubby to take a picture.

Yes I am not the usually seen yogi in training but hey you have to start somewhere, right?!

Today is Day 1 and I am 50 pounds away from my healthy weight. I know I will get there because I already have lost 35 pounds. But I am kicking everything up several notches starting with these 7 Poses.

I have been working with the Chakras more in the last 8 weeks especially since hubby students asked me to make them Malas and chakra jewelry. I practice what I preach so as I start to renew my relationship with meditation, mantras and balancing my Chakras I will share in hopes this will inspire others like me on the same path.

Here are the 7 Poses but please go read the articule for the full version.
