My happy little life.

Sometimes I forget how really happy I am.
I forget that I am Married (finally) and did so IN the Temple.
I have Kids (the ones I prayed for, FOREVER!!) who I really like not only love!
WE have a very safe life that is full of fun.
I am not skinny BUT my Husband still thinks I am sexy..lol
We do not have a lot, but enough to live on.
Food on the shelves.. stove in the kitchen..lol
SO...
WHY do I forget??

Why do any of us forget to find the happy things in life?
The "Tender Mercies" that have been shown us?
I know for me I get caught up in the I wants, or I wish.
OR..lol why did I, or why didn't I's.

I just for one day would love to give everyone a moment of happy...
See how very blessed you really are.

So I give you this little gift..
Be happy, happy in your place in life. Know that you are great and SO MANY more people than you can imagine want to be where you are, don't take it for granted.

Good Mothering

Good Mothering Lesson # 58
(This happened after weeks of hearing about poking and getting tired of it.)
Child #1~"Mom she poked me in the eye again.."
Me~"poke her back"
Child #2 crying covering eye~"Mom he poked me in the eye"
Me~Looking closer "wait a minute.. can you see???"
The good mother lesson: don't tell your children to poke anyone in the eye..tell them to stomp on the foot.. You don't need it to see and you get over it quicker ;)

We are learning and hopefully we will all survive.

TOTALLY FREE!!

SO, this COOL place called Handbag Planet is doing a giveaway to launch their store. (They launch on the 15th.) They're giving away one handbag every hour for 24 hours. They have really cute bags!!
Plus....Who doesn't like a FREE bag! You get to pick which one you like the most and MAYBE win it!!
I like the cute one with the stripes!
Have FUN!
