Catching little pieces of time-making them yours, making them mine.
About Me
- Mare
- Meet our little Ohana...Mare, Mark, and Renee. We spend our days attempting to cherish and treasure every single one of life's moments while living, loving, learning, and laughing together. Sometimes, when life allows us, we even visit our favorite place on earth-Walt Disney World.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."~Dr. Seuss
I’ve seen how disruptive it can be for parents to have specific dreams for their children. My job is to help my kids foster a joy for life and develop the tools to fulfill their own wishes. My wishes for them are very exact and, given that I won’t be there, I want to be clear: Kids, don’t try to figure out what I wanted you to become. I want you to become what you want to become. And I want you to feel as if I am there with you, whatever path you choose. ~Randy Pausch
Real, natural learning is in the living. It's in the observing, the questioning, the examining, the pondering, the analyzing, the watching, the reading, the DO-ing, the living, the breathing, the loving, the JOY. It's in the joy. ~Anne Ohman
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

Oh sweet little birdies! :)
I've enjoyed looking at this first page of your blog today Mare! Such a wonderful loving family...and glad to see you made it back to WDW yet again!
The story and pics of Mother Nature and the trip down Memory Lane with the adorable Missy freeing ladybugs was a lovely treat, too.
:)
Oh, we've missed you, Mari! (((hugs)))
We've missed your lovely blog with beautiful photos, as well. Especially all those babies you seemed to have the knack at capturing on film!
