Ah, my little blog. . . we meet again. If you knew how excited I get to rest my eyes on the fresh “new post” screen on the blogger page you would laugh and probably tell me to get a life.  I bask in the glow of the blue and white screen and get this […]

    I'll have to come back when I'm home and can see the pictures!! I too think it's important to be thankful!! I love notecards that allow me to express to my friends and family how thankful I am for them along with whatever gift they've given me for my birthdy or Christmas.
    I worked in a Hallmark store for 2 years, I have more Hallmark points then I will ever be able to use in a lifetime due to all the cards and other things I bought! As a side note don't take a part time job in a Hallmark store, you will read a card and HAVE to buy if for someone or you will see notecards that you HAVE to have or you will HAVE to have the ornaments for Charlie and Chanelle, it's dangerous to a wallet!!! 🙂 Happy Wednesday!!!ReplyCancel

    I make my daughter to thank you cards too (and she's only 2). I'm hoping to instill thankfulness into her too. So far, she truly appreciates everything anyone does/gives to her. I love that and hope it never fades away.ReplyCancel

She’s three today.  My beautiful little girl is three.  And with birthday’s come celebrations.  Celebrations when the house is decorated with balloons, gifts are anticipated, cakes are baked (even if they take six hours to make with the help of a very wonderful sister), and she gets to put on her “party shoes”. . . […]

It’s been more than 30 days since I began the Be Brave Project and I’ve been trying to figure out how I can adequately communicate what the project did for me.  Even though I never verbalized it, I think I had hopes that the project would propel me into this new world of gregariousness, adventure, […]

  • Charbelle - October 22, 2010 - 11:48 am

    I love that you recognize that bravery comes from moving forward despite being afraid and not avoiding something just because you are fearful!!!ReplyCancel

    Amen Sista! You ARE super brave! So glad you are realizing that. 🙂ReplyCancel

Today I was told that my blog is too positive. . . Ouch. (Last week it was too serious, this week too positive.) The person did not intend for the statement to be an insult and I laugh at how quickly the comment tapped into my insecurities.  I find myself wanting to jump and protect […]

    This is Tammy (from TN). I have never posted anything- wasnt sure how to. I look forward to reading your blog. I enjoy it…all of the different emotions, experiences…all of that is life. I work at Juvenile Court and like you with your job i can relate to some topics you have discussed. I would rather be defined by my attitude being positive than negative. You never know who you have an impact on. So i strongly encourage you to keep sharing what ever God has put on your heart..because to someone that may be just what they needed to hear. I feel like i am getting to know you and your family more this way than the little time when we do see ya'll.(had to put some TN slang in there for ya :)By reading your blog i have decided to start a journal of things to do when i have child(ren). I love how you do cherish the everyday moments. I want to do that with my child. I just know i wont remember all the ways to lol that is why i started the journal. So thanks again! TammyReplyCancel

    I completely agree with TL: Your blog inspires me. Too positive, too serious, even too negative: I don't think you ever need to apologize for what it is or how it seems to others. Your writing is wonderful and inspiring, and it's a reflection of you and what YOU are feeling, be that positive, negative, serious or silly.

    And your pictures are phenomenal, too. 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Running Chatter - October 21, 2010 - 8:20 pm

    Thank you, ladies, fir your kind words. They are appreciated.

    Tammy. . . thank you for posting a comment. It's nice to know you are reading. . .I love that you are keeping a journal of ideas. You will be an excellent Mommy!ReplyCancel

  • SassyTimes - October 21, 2010 - 8:40 pm

    I don't think your blog is too much of anything. I also don't think anyone should be telling you what it is or isn't; it's your blog.

    I personally love your blog. It is inspiring and a daily reminder to not get caught up in the small stuff….the negative 'moments' as you say. Looking back, the things you blog about are what you want to remember…not the one tantrum, or one attitude.

    Keep being you!ReplyCancel

    I love your blog. I think our attitude is shaped by how we choose to look at things, if we choose to look at the positively then we have a brighter outlook. We also all have moments that hurt and you talk about those too. Writing is a wonderful outlet to let out swirling thoughts, to share adorable precious picture memories of snippets of days that will be remembered by those photos.
    Keep writing, keep being you 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Ky • twopretzels.com - October 25, 2010 - 8:27 pm

    I'm with TL, too.

    Your positive blog is literally a cup of tea to me. It's what I look forward to it. I want to relish it. It inspires me to reflect. To really think.

    I appreciate it so very much.ReplyCancel

    Ok now…too positive?! Praise God for positivity! Too many people are consistently stuck in the "what ifs" and "why nots" and miss out on all that we have…and the gift of every day. Phil 4:6-7 "Be anxious in nothing but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving make your requests known to God and the peace of God will transcend your heart and mind in Christ Jesus." That "with thanksgiving" always sticks out to me…when I focus on what I have to be thankful for…I find that my worries take a back seat and instead I'm able to live in the moment, in the present, and choose to be grateful for what I have, as well as focus on what God has done in the past. I think when we work at being obedient and pursuing Christ, the overwhelming majority of the time, is a more positive outlook. Thank you for being a living example of what it means to be thankful!ReplyCancel

    Little boys are so much fun! So much different from girls. I will admit, I was nervous when Jakobi entered the picture. I just wasn't sure what to do. He has given me so much joy and I just love how his little mind works. We are blessed Mamas, indeed!ReplyCancel
