I have had a really terrible winter - terrible. It has been sad, lonely and full of sick kids. It is hard for me to go to church and feel super happy as people all around me are coughing, hacking, snoting....PLEASE - stay home if you are germy! There have also been other things piled on my brain to help my dark days...but anyway, things are looking up lately. My babies are healthy, I have a super supportive hubby. Plus, I have done a few other things to get happy. Then I read this article and am thinking, "Wow, wouldn't that be wonderful to not only think that way, but teach my girls to think that way too!?!" You should all try it. I am thankful for this sweet lady for writing it and sweet friends for pointing me to this article. Happy days are here!

Another Inspiration for me tonight...

She wanted to be happy! Her core beliefs carried her through - Awesome!

An inspiration for me tonight...

she wanted to be a dancer. Life doesn't always work out how we would like. But it does work out and there is always some wonderfulness along the wy.

#5 is such a fun toy

Love this girl - she seems to be growing up much too fast - as they all do when u don't want them to, which is most of the time. (But raise your hand if u are still wishing u were potty training all the time. I didn't think so! Sometimes it's nice for them to grow!)  

         

Awe, Jam it...

I like this jam. So so so easy to make - did I mention it is so easy to make? There is TONS of sugar so your berries stretch further and it is super quick to make. I usually buy the pink box of SureGel and I like it for some reasons and this for others...the pink stuff is still pretty easy with a few more steps but much less sugar so it just depends on what mood I am in. Quick and sugary this time.
