A new day~ Thankful..

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good. -Author Unknown

   
   When I wake in the morning I get kisses from both my husband, and my beautiful daughter. They mean the world to me. (Of course I can't forget about our little pug) He is usually all over me, from morning to night.
I thank God for yet another beautiful day. A day filled with laughter, hugs,  kisses, conversation, learning, playing, and so much more. The days go by so quickly...I've learned that we all must slow down sometimes and enjoy these little moments.  I absolutely love life, and I am thankful that I have been given life. -Stephanie
 
{Breakfast time with my munchkin}
My daughter loves helping with breakfast,
 I usually let her stir, or add in ingredients. :)
She's such a great little helper!
 
 
 
                                                            {Let's make music}
 We dance, and sing, and just love being silly together,
and when my husband gets home after work
  my little one has daddy join in!
(Oh and yes a dance off is always such fun in our home)
 
 
{The beauty of nature}
When the weather is nice out, we love exploring nature,
Something about fresh air, and a walk with my family
is pure bliss.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...
