Gratitwosday

In September Harley and I went on a couples vacation to The Dominican Republic. We had so much fun relaxing on the beach with excellent company :)

I'm pretty greatful for this guy...He puts up with A LOT!

:)

In the summertime the kids love to go to the duck pond and feed the ducks...

Kids are SO MUCH WORK. However, I'm greatful for the many things they teach me about myself every. single. day.
I've heard people say kids learn so much from adults/parents and I'd have to say the same goes for us. My kids have taught me patience I never knew I had and a selflessness that only a child can get out of you. I'm pretty greatful for that :)

Giving Thanks...

...I wish we could all be this thankful ALL year round...

.

This picture is SO funny.

I think this is what goes through womens minds when you get too many cooks in the kitchen...maybe....;)

We definitely had enough cooks in the kitchen this year!

Don't we look fabulous?

There was also plenty of wine to go around.

Judy got us all new aprons this year! I know! They're fabulous :)


These two little girls (above) were the CuTeSt cooks we could've asked for :)



I could have worn my apron all day (and almost did) it's SO cute.

The kids were getting stir crazy and hungry smelling all the

deliciousness throughout the house. mmmmmm

Harley did the honors of carving the bird this year.

Digging in!

Some after dinner football madness :)

I'm a bad mom and hadn't got the kids boots yet...I know :(

So, I wrapped plastic bags around Cash mans feet so he could get in

the football action and not get his feet soaked :)..I fastened the

bags with elastics. Getto fabulous.

I love this holiday and time of year...

...There are so many things in my life to be thankful for...

Amazing food, family and kids :)

Happy Birthday, Leo! We love and miss you.

Ever Wonder?

Ever wonder what would happen if we worried less?....

Not only do I love the saying in this picture I LOVE this dress and shoes!

I'm pretty sure a light bulb turned on in my head the moment I read this saying. I've been there more than I care to admit...doing things to impress someone else or not upset them or just so I felt more like I fit in....

Dumb

Lately I've been listening more to what my gut tells me and really being true to myself. Luckily, I have a very supportive husband who really thinks this 'new me' is a great idea.

:)

I'm not a fan of turquoise jewelry but, THIS is perfectly put together!

I must re-create this look....maybe I'll pair the shirt and cardigan with a skirt instead ;)

Sugar Sunday

This post has nothing to do with sugar I just didn't know what to call it :)

.

So, I'm thinking I'm going to have to put my Christmas decor up early this year. I can't take it anymore and the more I read on facebook of others following this early trend I can't help it. I must join in the way too early holiday cheer! Maybe if I start out slowly and wait to put up the tree until after Thanksgiving I won't be too ostracised by family and friends...Avery's already been asking to listen to Christmas music and sadly it's already playing on 106.5 fm.

I lOVE this quote~I think it's probably one of the most motivating quotes as far as forgiving yourself for your mistakes and others. Change is completely inevitable and sometimes in the moment (that can last for days/weeks/months) it doesn't seem like for the best but, change offers growth and the opportunity for you to make decisions that affect you and everyone around you....Life is all about choice and you can choose to love yourself, forgive yourself, and know that you're enough!

.

On a lighter note I'm completely obsessed with fashion lately.

.
I'm crushing over this look pretty hard right now. The blouse is peach with grey pin dots and attached scarf!!
