I have not done a thought in awhile, so I decided that it is time to start again.  The one that I picked for today is -You Know Your Life Has Changed When…going-to-the-grocery-store-alone-000-Page-1

 I remember those days so well!  One thing that I used to do when my kids were about ages 6-10 or so, is give them each a dollar.  They were not to buy something for themselves…but they had to pick out something for one of their siblings.  They had to think about it and try to figure out what they would like.  I also tried to teach them to get the most for their buck that they could.  I had almost forgot about this little trick until my daughter reminded me of it a while back.  But this was also back in the day when they could get several things for a dollar!  It was good for them to think about each other and what the other person might like.  We rotated the siblings around so they had a different person each time that we did this little  experiment!   It is amazing the ingenuity of mothers when put in stressful situation!  The kids thought that it was great fun and mom (me) was able to get through the shopping trip without a tremendous amount of trouble.  We had plenty of stressful, whiny, shopping trips too, but this is one idea that actually did work when I had to take all the kids with me!  :)

It is Not Happy People…

Fall, Quotes, , , , ,

Happy Friday everyone!  I thought that today I would just share a thought that I have posted before, but it is a great one to think about- It is Not Happy People…It is not happy people...

I love the autumn time and the beautiful colors.  This picture was taken in front of my house and I love these beautiful trees that line our neighborhood.  And so it is with a grateful heart, that I decided on this thought for the week!  We need to all remember…It is Not Happy People…  We all need to work on being a little more thankful in all things, including me!  I am grateful for the many blessings that my family and I have… and even though they are hard…I am thankful for the trials too, because they make us all stronger.  I am even thankful for these beautiful trees…that is until I have to start raking all those leaves!  :)

I hope that you are all having a great day and that you have some wonderful plans for the weekend!  We have a baptism for one of our cute granddaughters, so that will be fun!  I hope that all of you get to do something that you love with someone that you love!

Thanks for Visiting!

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

Memorial Day Thought

I would like to thank all those men and women..and their families… that have served our country  in all of our behalf!   Some have given the ultimate sacrifice so that all of us can enjoy our freedom!  Freedom is not free, but I am so grateful for all of those brave service men and women who have willingly protected our freedom.

I am thrilled to see that our country is finally recognizing all those Vets that have served in the earlier wars with the “Honor Flights” and to truly give them the honor that they have so rightfully earned!

Thank you to all Veterans that have so willingly served.  You are our true HERO’S!

Hope you all have a great weekend and that you can remember and honor all those “Hero’s in your life! 

Thanks for Visiting!

Thursday’s Thought- I’m So Glad…

Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , ,

Since today is Thursday…it’s time once again to do a Thursday’s Thought!

I live in Utah, and our Autumn has been absolutely beautiful this year!  When we go walking in the morning, there is a crisp bite to the air, but by the time we get done the sun is starting to warm up the day!  I can still go outside to play with the kids and enjoy the beautiful world that we live in.  I have a lot of trees in my yard and the colors have been amazing…and I really don’t even mind raking and mulching the leave when the weather is so gorgeous.

So that is what prompted my thought for today.Octobers-quote-000-Page-1

Here is the download:  Octobers

Have you had a beautiful October where you live? 

I hope that you will take a minute today to just enjoy the fact that we have Octobers in our lives!  It is a beautiful season…whether we are talking about the month or the season in our life!  Enjoy every moment!

Thanks for Visiting today and have a Happy October Day!

Thursday’s Thought-I Would Rather Sit On A Pumpkin,

Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , ,

 I can’t believe it…fall is right around the corner.  My big maple tree is just starting to turn red,  the kids are back in school, Swiss Days is coming this weekend, (yeah!) it is canning season and the air is finally starting to cool down a bit!  So I guess that it time to start with some fall projects and fall thoughts!  :)  

This thought just makes me smile because I think that I would probably like to sit on a pumpkin alone, too!

I would rather sit on a pumpkinI think that I am going to print and frame this and put it in my kitchen, just because it makes me smile to think about sitting on my own pumpkin!

Even though there are still  a few days left in August…Happy Fall Y’all!  :)

Thursday’s Thought-Life Isn’t About Finding Yourself.

Well, another week is almost over and Thursday is already here…so that means that it is time to do my Thursday’s Thought!

Life-isn't-about-finding-yourself

Click here for the download: Life isn’t about finding yourself

I love this thought, because we really do create our own selves.  Everything that we do, or don’t do…defines who we are and that is exciting that we can control our own destiny!  Many different things and circumstances make up our lives and how we live and react to those things make up who become!  

So Dream BIG & Live BIG!

Happy Thursday Everyone and Thanks for Visiting!
