Thanksgiving 2017 at the Beach did not disappoint! It was VERY sweet and salty!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE ADVENT CALENDAR, I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT ONE.
It was thanksgiving last week and we were suppose to be Grateful Right?! So then why oh why do we get so stressed!!!!!
Christmas is such a magical time of year and if you are anything like me you love to find the PERFECT gift for each person in your life. I honestly hate the idea of giving a gift card or cash, but my teenagers seem to think the latter is the perfect gift. I still however, strive to find the PERFECT gift even for the not so fun at times beast we know as a teenager.
It's Thanksgiving...do you find yourself in the "firsts" club like me?
Have you ever heard the quote "faith like a child"? I have numerous times and last night Graeme Berry displayed faith that I only wish I could have an ounce of! His faith was so innocent, so real, and so big that my heart burst with love and joy watching him speak.
I honestly had not planned on blogging today, but after the amazing day I had yesterday, well, I just had too! Yesterday, I got to play with Jewelry and dress a model and help a photographer! As a boy mom, I promise you this is a day in paradise for me! A day away from stinky soccer shoes, stinky dance shoes, and stinky six year old boy clothes!
I don't know about you, but I find myself making mistakes daily. Some days are just a series of tiny mistakes that really amount to nothing, but every once in a while I make a BIG MISTAKE. When the mistake involves my kids I feel awful.
Do you ever find yourself stumbling in the darkness? I don't mean in the "literal sense", I mean in the "figurative sense". I know I do and I do quite often. Usually I can find my way out of the darkness, but there have been two times in my life where finding my way out was like digging through concrete.
If someone would of told me 10 years ago that when my mom died my sister and I would be sharing the responsibility of taking care of my father I probably would of laughed in their face. My father was and still is one of the most independent, strongest, men I know. However, life has taken a toll on his memory and he cannot live alone.
It's November 3rd and the busiest yet most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner! The parties will start, the shopping for the best gift, the charlie brown movies, the amazing meals, and the Christmas decorating will all begin. Just thinking about it all makes me excited, tired, and stressed. I hate that last feeling and I know you do too!
BIG DAY TODAY! I AM TURNING 47 AND ANNOUNCING MY BLOG! WHY AM I SO SAD? READ ON AND YOU WILL SEE.
So I wish I could tell you I wake up EVERY day and spent my first 15 minutes with God....BUT, I can't! The truth is, my first 15 minutes are spent making coffee, getting the pup to pee, (me too if I am being 100 percent honest), and depending on the day....well, who knows what else.
Did you know there are really Angels everywhere?
Somedays they just pop out and are so obvious...like the story I am about to share with you.
But, sometimes we have to look for them. Other times, I firmly believe they are amongst us, we just cannot see them, or feel them, or recognize them.
Summer is officially over and today is the first day of school. AGH! UGH! (and insert many, many tears here). Yes I hate this day! I am not your typical mom who can't wait for this day each year... I am not the one who has the champagne chilling next to the orange juice in the frigelator! No, I am actually quite opposite.
