She Excels At Finding Shells...Not

When I was in Florida visiting Kim (you can read more of my adventures there on Kim's blog!), we went to the beach so I could collect some sea shells for my son.  Her sweet family helped me find some neat shells in the sand that my kiddo would enjoy - here are most of them...

So pretty!  Now, when I was by myself for a moment on the beach, I spotted another sort of shell in the sand.  It was mostly white and I thought it seemed like the same material as a sand dollar.  It also had a pretty pale blue on the inside.  I had not seen a "shell" like that before and was going to ask Kim or her family about it - but they were heading back already so I threw it in the bag with the other shells.  I never looked at the shells in the bag again and brought them home.

My son was in another room, excitedly looking through his bag of shells when I heard this...

Son:  Mom???
Me:  Yes? (expecting him to tell me how impressed he was at the collection of shells)
Son:  Why'd you bring me a bottle cap??



Go ahead.  Laugh it up.  Hey - at least I admitted it.  And I'll have you know that you are looking at an authentic Florida beach bottle cap!  I guarantee that Kim is STILL laughing at this moment.  :)

I hope you find a little laughter in your day my friends!

Florida Trip ~ Creatures On The Beach

Yesterday I showed you the relaxing Florida beach near my friend Kim's (Homesteader's Heart) house.  Today I thought I would show you all the creatures I saw there!

Sand crab - somewhere down in his hole!

Sand crab - about the middle of the screen looking at you with his little beady eyes!

Sea turtle - in the nest.

I want to remind you that tomorrow (Friday 9/17) is Chocolate Friday - Woo Hoo!  I'll share a little something chocolatey and you can too!  Bring your chocolate post by to link up and/or share your chocolate thoughts in the comments!  See you then!

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Wordless Wednesday: Relax On The Florida Beach

Normally I would tell you to stop and smell the chocolates, but today I want you to stop, take a deep breath and smell the beach!  This is the Florida beach that's just a short walk from my friend Kim's (Homesteader's Heart) house!  I was just there last week!  Lovely and relaxing.  Enjoy...






That is all.  Relaxed?  Me too.  More beachy fun tomorrow...

Enjoy more pics for Wordless Wednesday at 5 Minutes For Mom!  Have a relaxing day my friends!
