"Secret Garden". One of many ways I like to de-stress - and also involve the family. ❤ #puzzle #games #art #colorful #fun #owl #garden

Lili has a boy in her class that's had behavior problems & a tough home life. Lately, he seems to be doing better in class and she's taken notice. She spent some time telling me the stories he tells of home & it was heartbreaking. But she said she's proud of his good behavior and wants to help him keep it up. So she's writing him a series a helpful, inspirational letters to keep his spirits up and help him remember he's a good person. Here is one of many. She really is the best. ❤🖒 #inspirational #kindness #bekind #happiness #joy #goodkarma #love

01.10.2017: Just some birds hanging out in Nashville. 📸🐦 #birds #seagull #waterfront #riverside #nashville #tennessee #naturephotography #nature_shooters #nature #landscape #landscape_lovers #travelpics #travel (at Nashville River Front)

01.09.2017: Spending time at the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center this week. It's a city inside of a hotel. Quite an experience. There's so much to look at and I think the hot air balloons are my favorite. 📸🎈 #travelpics #travel #hotairballoon #hotel #nashville #tennessee #footballlife (at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center)

01.08.2017: Day 8: Our view in Nashville. 23 stories up and terrified, but it's amazing. 🌎📸 #travelpics #travel #landscape #landscape_lovers #city #nashville #tennessee #winter (at Renaissance Nashville Hotel)

01.07.2017: Day 7: Pic 2: This little guy is enjoying a bit of pollen in the morning. 📸🐦 #sunrise #nature_shooters #naturephotography #landscape_lovers #landscape #photography #photooftheday #picoftheday #nature #bee #hungry #morning #florida (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

01.07.2017: Day 7: It's been a hectic couple of days without much down time. So I'm sharing some nature photos to make up for my laziness. Found this beauty perched in a tree at my Mom's house. 📸🐦 #birds #nature #wildlife #florida #picoftheday #nature_shooters #naturephotography #landscape_lovers #landscape #photography (at Tampa, Florida)

01.04.2017: Day 4: Thos guy is riding in style. They don't make them like they use to. And when he started it up, the sound of the engine was just as impressive. My favorite part was the sweet dog napping in the back seat. Didn't notice hom at first and then he slowly brought his head up and yawned. Too cute. 📸😆🐕🚗 #cars #classic #style #florida #picoftheday #dogs #chill (at Bayside Sports Academy)

01.03.2017: Day 3: Kevin is relaxing on his log after his bath. He's become my little reptilian buddy. Snuggles with me when I'm tired or not feeling well. Likes it when I talk to him. Such a sweetheart. 💕🐊📸 #friends #beardeddragon #reptile #love #happiness #family #pets #picoftheday #animals (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

01.02.2017: Day 2: Cooking dinner fully armed. Tonight's meal was delayed due to excessive Nerfing. Confession- I started the battle but made sure I had proper backup. Matt was my sniper & Lili assisted with stealthy recon. Braylon didn't stand a chance. I dare not share photos of the battle & aftermath. Foam bullets everywhere! I'm exhausted. 📸😂 #family #fun #nerf #playtime #happiness #starwars #picoftheday #kids (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

01.01.2017: Day 1: Nearly impossible to truly capture my current predicament. I was reading peacefully with Kevin (our bearded dragon) when 2 sleepy black cats (Loki & Roxie) decided they wanted to get in on the snuggle action. Now I'm covered in pets. As completely ridiculous as it looks, I make no apologies. I fully acknowledge I'm a glutton for punishment and my love of animals far outweighs my love of people. In fact, I'm fairly certain this is how I will be found on my last day - and it's totally okay. 📸🐊🐱🐈💕 #family #love #happiness #cats #beardeddragon #reptiles #cuddles #pets #picoftheday #zen (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)
