Be a little better!

Every morning I tell myself just be a little bit better than yesterday! What a stretching goal that is! I have found there are 10 little things that can help. You may do one or you may want to do them all!

  1. Play with your children! I can not tell you how much my mood changes when I am on the floor playing with Sadie
  2. Do the dishes. A clean kitchen sink makes all the difference
  3. Make your bed. I love having my bed made and I have to choose everyday whether I am going to make it or not. I love having all my pillows on the bed looking so perfect
  4. Get ready for the day! Nothing beats feeling like a beauty queen when your are getting ready for the day.
  5. Read a book that uplifts you! The library is full of books (and is free), neighbors, friends, family all have books that are waiting to be read.
  6. Go for a walk. The saying, "Endorphines make you happy, and happy people don't shoot their husbands," is so totally true! I go for a walk and life is better and I don't want to shoot my husband.
  7. Serve someone else. Make a treat, a card, clean a yard, visit someone in the nursing home, etc. whatever it is will help you in every way!
  8. Talk positive about everyone! I have had to learn this the hard way, when I talk negative about people I get all shaken up and snap at everyone. When I talk nice about everyone, I find qualities that I would like to improve on.
  9. Wake up Early. There is so much that can be done in the morning while everyone is asleep and it is just you and your quiet time! Laundry, dishes, dusting, exercising, cleaning, getting ready etc.
  10. Choose to be happy! Choose Everyday that you will be happy no matter what comes your way. If it is baby food on your clothes, or the touch of your child's hand on you face, choose to be happy!

Hello!!

I have been wanting to give my throw pillows a new look, without breaking the bank. So I quickly made a new slip cover for my pillow. Pick a design in the Silhouette studio, and adjust to the size needed. Example my pillow was 17 1/2" and the heat transfer vinyl (HTV) I had was 9x12. I tried my best to get the image to fill all of the material so it would look right on the pillow. Once you get the size you need, test it out on a piece of paper to ensure that is the correct size. **BE SURE TO FLIP YOUR IMAGE** Cut out your image, weed, place on material and press HARD! Place the cover on the pillow and ta-da a whole new pillow!!

Remember the Moments

What a crazy month October was. Sadie girl turned one and we had a blast celebrating her birthday. Every gift she got was a noisy toy. Needless to say, my house is now filled with more noise, and I love it.  I love the toys she received.  I love playing with Sadie and making her laugh, watching her think, and trying her hardest to figure out a toy. It's in the simple moments that make my heart swell with love of being a mother. Being a mother is one of the most rewarding gifts from God. I am grateful everyday that I get to do it. But with that being said, it is also one of the hardest jobs I have ever had. Talking to someone who whines what they want, the poop (it's part of motherhood), the not eating, the toll it takes on my body, the sleepless nights, and the teething. It comes in a bundle swaddled in a pink blanket. The moments that matter most is the laughing, the smile, when they first crawl, the first step, feeding themselves, when they think they are funny. and mo...
