So much to "teach" her...she has shopping down!

I have so much I can teach
her and pull out of her. I
would say you might
encounter defeats but you
must never be defeated. I
would teach her to love a
lot. Laugh at the
silliest things and be very
serious. I would teach her
to love life. I could do that.

And I just can't forget this one...we are working on her "style"...



Have I mentioned how much fun it is to shop with your daughter??? No greater feeling in the world. Listening to her go on and on "mommy, look at this...it's so cute...should we buy it?" I love it!

Next on our "list" for the summer...going to get our nails done! :)

Cousins are different beautiful flowers in the same garden.

Phenomenal Woman

Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
