We have a winner.....

Three actually!

Thank you to all that participated in our "On the Farm" Art Contest! You all did a fantastic job and I am so proud of each and every one of the children! Each piece of art had that child's personality and imagination in it for sure, and that means everything to me! I wish I could give you all a prize, but sadly this time, only three of you can win.......


Drum roll please..........


The winners of a ONE YEAR Family Membership to Landmark Park are:

Lydia Dowling- age 2-3 category

Ela Grace- age 4-5 category

Anna Claire Thompson- age 6-7 category

Congrats to you all! I will be contacting you soon for pick up on your prize!

Thanks again! This was so fun to see all the children bring in their art! I hope you all had fun creating the memories!

Hello Blog Readers!!

So, I know when I view my stats that either a LOT of people read over here in bellamia world, OR a view of you read and click on my blog MULTIPLE times a day! I would like to think the first, but if it happens to be the latter, then you really have no excuse for "missing" the Art Contest post!

Because of the lack none entered  of participation so far on the "On the Farm" Art Contest, I will be extending the submission date only ONE MORE WEEK! PLEASE, consider entering!

We had a lot of fun with the one we did last spring and hope to have many more participate in this one!


Soooooooooo, put on your list for your next Wal-Mart run to grab a 1/2 sheet poster board, (unless you have a 2nd grader or above and have a stock of them hiding under your sofa for the many projects you use them for in school!) and put your kiddos to work! The prize for the winner of each category is a ONE YEAR MEMBERSHIP TO LANDMARK PARK!!!!


And if you just can't participate (which one would wonder why!), please consider linking this info on your blog or facebook, this would be greatly appreciated! Landmark Park is a fabulous place for a family outing and I would love to support them and provide you the opportunity to experience the greatness of the park!

back on the farm.....

I just love that saying! It makes me day dream about this happy family on a beautiful ranch, living the simple but hard {does that even make since} life. They drink coffee on their big wrap-around porch while rocking in their rocking chairs overlooking beautiful country side, they work hard during the day, and relax and play as a family at night.

Someone needs to pinch me, because if I stay dreaming about this too long, Tim is going to come home with a For Sale sign in our city yard and on our city business, and be greeted with a sweet little "hello honey, how was your day and oh, btw, we are moving to the country!"


Don't think this conversation hasn't come up a few times {and not always brought up by yours truly}..

I am not a country girl really. But you would be surprised at how many trees I have climb, horses I've rode, eggs I've gathered and stars I have gazed up at on a dark clear night....


There is just something about being in the country and on a farm, listening to the coyotes crickets at night that just  plain feels good and quite home-y. I know I am not the only one that thinks this way, or people around here wouldn't go to the mid west or just up east to the mountains for a vacation if it weren't a little true......



So get your kid's creative juices going and start day dreaming about being "back on the farm" for a fun art contest that starts today!
