Spring Fever

Yes its only the end of January, but here in Arizona the weathers been getting warmer each day and I love it,and I'm staring to get spring fever. Ive been in a cleaning mood, tearing things apart and doing deep cleaning, I tore apart our bathroom and changed shower curtains and rugs and swept and mopped and cleaned everything in sight. My favorite seasons are Spring and Fall, Spring because of all the plants blooming and the sound of new baby birds and the Fall because of the cooler weather and the color changing of the leaves. I hope everyones new year is off to a great start, I'm still dealing with the pinched nerve in my neck, but thank the Lord it seems to be getting better. Sorry for not posting much lately, Ive got to get back into the swing of things. Have a fun, blessed weekend with you're children.

Happy 2012

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and the Lords continued blessings in this new year.  Sorry that its been awhile since I last posted, my son and I were gone to Reno for Christmas and New Years. Then I ended up getting some kind of a bug and a pinched nerve in my shoulder, so Ive been on some heavy pain meds. so please if you will keep me in you're prayers that the pinched nerve will heal, its very painful. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a safe new years eve. My new years resolution is to lose more weight and to be a better mother and a more loving Christian and to see what the Lord has in store for my son and I in 2012. Have a blessed weekend everyone.

My Favorite Holiday

I love Christmas, but not because of the gifts, because of what the true meaning of Christmas means to me, the birth of Jesus. I love Christmas music, the lights and smells of goodies baking in the oven. I am a very giving person, I love doing things for others, this year I am hand making alot of gifts for my family, I will post a picture as soon as they are done. My son and I will be traveling to see my sister for Christmas in Nevada. I pray you all will have a Blessed, stressed free, Christmas day and I new year filled with Gods amazing Grace.

Being Thankful For All We Have

As we approach Thanksgiving on Thursday, I just wanted to reflect on all that I am thankful for. Most of us in America take so much for granted, we roll out of our nice warm beds, flip on the lights, and make a be line for the coffee maker, but not me LOL I don't drink coffee, just using that as a example, but what if there was no water for that coffee? What if we didn't have a bed? What if we had to sleep on the cold ground? What if we didn't have lights or electricity? There are so many people around the world that don't have any of these things. As a Christian, I am so thankful for all the Lord provides my son and I, I'm thankful that we have a roof over our heads, we have food to enjoy, a good running car, eyes to see all the beauty that the Lord has surrounded us with, ears to hear all the sounds worth hearing, I love to listen to the birds :) We just have so much to be thankful for, and I do thank HIM all the time. So on this coming Thanksgiving day please say a prayer for all of those people out in this big world who are not as blessed as we are, that the Lord will provide for them also and that we will not take anything or anyone for granted. Have a blessed holiday everyone.

Veterans Day 2011

I want to say a big grateful thank you to all the Veterans out there, to the women and men still serving and to all who have served before. I think that it takes a amazing person to join the service, to train, to sacrifice their time and lives to help protect the United States. I know from first hand experience, my father served in the Marines during the Vietnam war, no I wasn't born yet but, Ive heard the stories and seen many pictures, and I am thankful that my father did serve his country, even though he passed away many years ago,  I will always be proud of him and all the others that serve today. So as we celebrate Veterans day, wave the flag high and be thankful for all the blessings we have as Americans. Have a great weekend.

Have a Safe and Fun Halloween

I remember when I was a kid how much fun Halloween was, our costumes came in a square cardboard box with a plastic mask and a thin plastic costume. And we used pillow cases to collect our candy, and we would go out many times and come back to our grandmothers house and pour all the candy out on the kitchen floor oh what fun we had. But in today's world things are alot different, as parents we have to be so careful where we take our kids and to always check their candy or better than that, is to take them to Harvest Parties or Fall Festivals where we know they will be safe. So on Halloween, which is tomorrow, Have fun with you're children and be safe.

Meaningful Monday

Yes its Monday again, and I haven't posted in awhile and I am sorry, time just seems to fly by these days. Back in September my only child turned 16, and wow I cant believe it, when he was born he was a 4 lb. preemie, 3 surgeries and many trips to the emergency room over the years, hes a TRUE boy, getting hurt is his speciality, I told him he needed a bubble around him LOL. So these days as time is flying by, its important to me to spend as much time with him as I can, even though hes not to thrilled to hang out with mom. I think about the days when he will be in college and I wish I could stop time, I'm not looking forward to those days at all, hes still got 2 1/2 years before he will graduate, so Ive got to do all I can to make the most of every day with him. I pray that all of you hang on to you're kids for as long as you can too, they grow up so fast. Have a blessed week all.
