Sometimes,<br />
it is easy to get caught up in the<i> day to day</i> tasks of life,<br />
and forget to show appreciation for the man behind the scenes.<br />
The man of the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Lee</span> house.<br />
The man that supports my passion to follow my dream.<br />
The man that encourages me to do better.<br />
My backbone.<br />

The best Daddy I could ever dreamt of for our baby girl.<br />
To watch the LOVE Landyn has in her eyes when she is with her "Dada",<br />
makes my heart full.<br />
{not to mention she is your little twin}<br />
The involvement you have in this family,<br />
shines through in everything you do.<br />
Your hard work and dedication to your career,<br />
is praiseworthy.<br />

<br />
I recently saw a <a href="http://nooma.com/">segment</a> on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ANGER</span> in America. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Unless you've been living under a rock, </div><div style="text-align: center;">your aware that this negative feeling is all around us.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So many of us are guilty of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The littlest thing will set us off, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and send us into a angry rage...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Being tale gated on the highway.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Something our spouse said (or didn't say).</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Our kids not listening.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>THAT coworker.</i><br />
<i>A rude person in the market.</i><br />
<i>Your less that perfect family.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> Anger is something that I have spent far to much of my life dealing with.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><i>Angry that I didn't have that "perfect family".</i></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><i>Angry that I didn't have parents that PUSHED me to follow my dreams.</i></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><i>Angry that I made less than perfect decisions.</i></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><i>Angry that I didn't let my true colors show a long time ago.</i></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It's easy to let ANGER eat away at us.</div></div>Rather than taking a "deep breath",<br />
I dwell.<br />
I hold grudges.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am letting this be my new challenge to myself.<br />
If we are to <i>"Live and Love like Jesus",</i><br />
then anger should be obsolete.<br />
Life is too short to be burdened by anger.<br />
It takes away from happiness.<br />
<br />
What makes you ANGRY?<br />
Have you freed yourself from ANGER?<br />

I'm Ashley, and I run the blog <a href="http://www.ashlemieux.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span">The Shine Project</span></a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/theshineproject/?action=view&current=DSC_0055.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/theshineproject/DSC_0055.jpg" /></a><a href="http://s1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/theshineproject/?action=view&current=DSC_0053.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/theshineproject/DSC_0053.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">{Buy the purse and skirt <a href="http://www.vintageshineshop.bigcartel.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span">HERE </span></a>in my online vintage shop!}</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">How many of you have a dream, but can't seem to ever get started to make it happen? It seems like too often we loose sight of what we want most because it seems too hard, too scary, or too impossible to reach. But guess what? We're all more than capable to accomplish hard things. I created The Shine Project to motivate others to go after their dreams while serving others around them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">It doesn't matter how successful we are if we don't take the time to help those in need.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;">After I started The Shine Project, I realized that if we all came together for a specific cause, we could really make a difference. I started The Shine Project Scholarship Fund to help inner city high school students to go to college. I have the blessing of working with these kids on a weekly basis, and they have so much potential it is unbelievable. They just need some extra love to get there. You can read more about my high school friends <span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://ashlemieux.blogspot.com/2011/08/reason-behind-shine-project.html">HERE</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://s1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/theshineproject/?action=view&current=DSC_0951.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/theshineproject/DSC_0951.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">My goal is to raise $20,000 by the end of the year for them. I started a CHANGE4CHANGE campaign where people can pledge to raise $100 in change by the end of the year. All that money will go to the students. If 100 people pledge, thats already $10,000. This campaign leads up to The SHINE Event that I am throwing on October 20th, in Phoenix, AZ. It is a raffle/silent auction, and the students will be putting on an inspiring program. It's been a lot of work, stress, and faith, but it's one of those dreams I've always had. And I've watched God's hand in it. If you want to pledge a CHANGE jar, or donate items to the silent auction, or live in AZ and want to attend, email me at ashley.theshineproject@gmail.com!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a bi weekly occurrence.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes tri weekly.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am talking about my trips to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Target </span>of course.</div><div style="text-align: center;">You see, I have a secret love affair with Target.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Days that begin with Target are always the best of days.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's sick really...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;">there is a "routine" to all Target trips...</div><div style="text-align: center;">They ALL start and end the same.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Are you ready for this?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">You are likely to find me there in the 9:00 AM hour. </div><div style="text-align: center;">{its the only dang store that opens early enough, and this momma's got to GET OUT}</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We stroll in and get that BIG HUGE GIGANTIC cart that is impossible to steer.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hate that I'm THAT Mom, but it makes my little girl happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We immediately make a B-LINE for the Starbucks cafe.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ice water for Miss L, iced coffee for Momma.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOfw5QwFkJR1GYa4CiAkbHIL4hwjcUec9vTdrOzeSlYVE-YYL3MgIM7rWeW1zHR-_setf5H9kcuCV357fJxs3a4XrwOZ6yCBDFMAT_uXgkO3cdom4Qbq9F7ZRIA6w2Y32SiiF60UxvYLg/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOfw5QwFkJR1GYa4CiAkbHIL4hwjcUec9vTdrOzeSlYVE-YYL3MgIM7rWeW1zHR-_setf5H9kcuCV357fJxs3a4XrwOZ6yCBDFMAT_uXgkO3cdom4Qbq9F7ZRIA6w2Y32SiiF60UxvYLg/s640/DSC_0009.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After a few sips of COFFEE, we begin perusing through the dollar section. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I throw in some USELESS things that I can't pass up because they are ONE DOLLAR.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Most likely I will give Landyn some stupid squishy ball to entertain her for a few moments, only to quickly get it chucked at my head....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next, the clothes...Momma's favorite section.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Typically I do a quick glance because the BIG HUGE GIGANTIC cart won't fit down the aisles without knocking down the entire racks. Therefore I grab and GO.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">By the time I am at the stores half way point, </div><div style="text-align: center;">(the baby section)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am ripping open Gerber Graduates yogurt melts because little L is getting restless.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I told you I bribe with <a href="http://lindsay-thelees.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-i-photograph-my-2-year-old.html">FOOD. </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyj0_UFPBlkjKiVJloJmmcj1ON29bfGAqpY7vu_kKuMDkmwgghOtssXOiniVi8-iQlSW9uybmRygdG3zxQZRT8719Lf4ElqOBVMcQ5KeC8pPYgjHgS8w8JAg6cwgqiKIr7GZuxeI5ftLc/s1600/DSC_0008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyj0_UFPBlkjKiVJloJmmcj1ON29bfGAqpY7vu_kKuMDkmwgghOtssXOiniVi8-iQlSW9uybmRygdG3zxQZRT8719Lf4ElqOBVMcQ5KeC8pPYgjHgS8w8JAg6cwgqiKIr7GZuxeI5ftLc/s640/DSC_0008.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I manage to grab a few <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">red tag</span> clearance home items.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{where I get 80% of my home decor, yes on CLEARANCE, I'm cheap like that}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let me just tell you I get a sick THRILL when I find something I need on red tag clearance. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I call it a "GOOD" Target day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The next 20 minutes is spent aiding Landyn in cart pushing,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">replacing things she has taken off shelves,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">lot's of apologizes,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">chasing down aisles...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">until I have had enough,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> and back in the cart she goes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The day started off as many did...</div><div style="text-align: center;">the buzzing of my alarm, </div><div style="text-align: center;">followed by hitting the snooze button a few too many times, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and sprinting to the shower to make it on time to my freshman year of college.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But <i>this</i> day didn't go according to planned. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>This</i> day took a different turn.</div><div style="text-align: center;">September 11, 2001 sticks in my memory as if it were yesterday.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll never forget the tone in my mom's voice as she broke the news to me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I remember being glued to the TV for hours.<br />
I remember feeling disbelief. Fear. Heartache. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The world shut down that day and was forever changed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">September 11 was something we as a nation never prepared for in our life time.<br />
The magnitude is still hard to fathom. </div><div style="text-align: center;">As Americans, it is easy to take our freedom for granted.<br />
Easy to forget what we stand for.<br />
<br />
This day forever changed me.<br />
Ten years later,<br />
watching the footage of that September morning, brings me to tears.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It reminded me of the true meaning of unity.<br />
Patriotism.<br />
Watching all the service men and women risk their lives to help others,<br />
all in honor of the red, white, and blue, is truly amazing.<br />
As a nation we bound together all for the name of our country.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Help me today in remembering September 11 and all it affected.<br />
Help me in thanking all those who have served, or continue to serve our country.<br />
God Bless our USA.<br />

It was a "how can it be" moment...</div><div style="text-align: center;">The day it hit me that "my baby" was in fact a "big girl"...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Miss L's <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1st day</span> of toddler preschool.<br />
<br />
No tears were shed,<br />
{after all, I GO WITH HER}<br />
but watching her trot off to her classroom did make me a tad weepy.<br />
<br />
It's knowing that she is where she is supposed to be,<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ready</span> to learn life lessons that she will forever carry with her,<br />
makes my heart full.<br />
<br />
It always helps when your friends are in your class too right?<br />

<br />
The past few days has been a whirlwind for me, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I thought I'd share real quick where I am at. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have tried to compose a post to express myself to you,</div><div style="text-align: center;">but have been unable to get the words out right.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>{Here goes my best shot}</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For the most part, </div><div style="text-align: center;">my blog is a happy place. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I like to believe that life is happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then suddenly life throws you a curve ball and changes all that. </div><div style="text-align: center;">A year ago this month, </div><div style="text-align: center;">my dear aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. </div><div style="text-align: center;">She has fought a hard fight for one whole year,</div><div style="text-align: center;">but unfortunately </div><div style="text-align: center;">we got word last week that her cancer has spread to her lungs and her time with us is numbered.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My heart is broken into a million little pieces.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sitting in a dark room with the women that has been that mother figure my whole life,</div><div style="text-align: center;">{the women you have always looked up to and vowed to model yourself after}</div><div style="text-align: center;">tell you that she is dying,</div><div style="text-align: center;">wages a crazy war in your heart. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Tears streaming down our faces. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Hands gripped tight.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I like to believe that I am this "big Christian" with lots of faith.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The truth is, I am a baby Christian.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And times like this make my faith even smaller.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why would God take someone so dear to us?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Someone with a heart of gold that just wants to see her kids get married?</div><div style="text-align: center;">The truth is, I am angry. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm sorry for being so vulnerable.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had to let you in on where I'm at.<br />
I can not hide from you.<br />
I promised I'd be real. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll be back to myself soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy60/LauraJaneDesigns/LeeLaLa/8f8f3a4d.png" /></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15898997386941743525noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785464097034482027.post-6498010393704653122011-09-02T15:00:00.000-07:002011-09-04T13:06:00.374-07:00How I photograph my 2 year old...<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Since day 1,<br />
I haven't been able to keep a headband on Landyn's head to save my life.<br />
{Good thing this Momma makes them}<br />
<br />
As of the past few weeks,<br />
THAT has ALL changed.<br />
LANDYN is LOVING headbands,<br />
especially headbands that belong to HER.<br />
Oh the joys of being <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">2.</span><br />
<br />
Check out my friend <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://johnnyinadress.bigcartel.com/">Johnny in a Dress,</a></span> and her handmade beauties.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kristi of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/barnowlprimitives">Barn Owl Primitives.</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span>Can we say DREAM COME TRUE?<br />

I nearly cried when I opened the box.<br />
Not only did Kristi send us the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"You are my Sunshine"</span> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67616763/you-are-my-sunshine-sign-typography-word">sign, </a><br />
but she hand painted it to MATCH <a href="http://lindsay-thelees.blogspot.com/2011/08/peak-into-landyns-room.html">Landyn's room.</a><br />
I can't walk past Miss L's room without gazing at our new piece.<br />
