Favorite photo from the camera::::
My sweet, horse obsessed, daughter got to ride her first pony/horse ever at the fair this weekend.  She was in hog heaven saying "Mommy, me ride horsey!  Horsey so pretty, Mommy!  I love horsey, Mommy!"  It was amazing how excited she was.



Homemaking Tip::::
I don't have any this week, but I'll be checking blogs to pick up a few tips.  

Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::

Bible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment::::
Lord, help me not to disregard or compete with others in an effort to be number one.  I pray for opportunities to show love to others by helping others get ahead and reach their goals in life. 
~ From the book Love Out Loud by Joyce Meyers

I've missed seeing your around, especially now that I'm not on Facebook. BTW, just so you know, I am not returning to Facebook at all, I don't miss it one single bit and am much happier away from it :)

Anyway, I was happy to see you joining in this morning, hope things start slowing down for you.

Have a great week Liz ;)

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my br...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
