Acts of Kindness

Yesterday, I was feeling down on myself.  We were going to Kansas City to have dinner with my in-laws and I couldn't find anything to wear.  It's getting hot here and I don't have really any clothing for the summer.  What I do have is a couple of tank tops and a couple of capris.  This normally isn't an issue except that I need to shave my underarms and my husband took the razor with him on his trip.  I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice since my hair is so super light, but my insecurities got the best of me and I broke down.  After crying about it, I went to Facebook.  I think I went there to find that I'm not the only one that feels like this sometimes.  I found that it's a common theme among moms.  Especially moms with very young children. That made me feel better.  Last night, I came home to find a bag of goodies from a Mommy friend of mine.  It was so sweet of her.  It had a couple of t-shirts, razors, a candle, gummy bears, cute socks,  a nice yummy smelling soap, and play dough.  It was so nice of her.  I really appreciate her kindness and hope to return the favor soon.

Aw, that was super sweet of her. Even women who don't have kids feel this way sometimes. I think it just comes with the territory of having girl parts.

That is true Meagan. Usually I try to be upbeat and positive but every now and then I break down. Thank you for helping bring me back up.

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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
