It's amazing how fast time has flown by this year. The cold weather is settling in, and we must wrap up warmly as our children go out trick-or-treating tonight. Last week we attended a neighborhood trunk or treat, but my husband wasn't happy about the long queues, so we had to rush. Tonight, we're hoping to move quickly as our two trick-or-treaters make their rounds. I've had to keep the heat on all day due to the cold weather. What's the weather like where you are? We've finally almost completed the roof repair after the big hailstorm a few months ago, although it took longer than anticipated. My brother recently took the Ancestry DNA test, and we were surprised by the results. We have a wide range of ethnicities besides Asian, which is wonderful to discover. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I can't wait to share the wonderful experience of preparing the food with some wonderful helpers. This year, I'm particularly grateful for my wonderful family. We...

Let go of   Negative thoughts  In the morning right after you wake tell yourself these 3 things: 1. I am thankful. 2. I am able 3. I will do my absolute best! Let go of   P eople bringing you down There is absolutely no reason to have these people in your life. Are you trying to do better? If the answer is yes, let them go! Let go of  Always saying YES  I always thought I needed to please every single person who entered my life and so I was constantly saying yes. - I managed to stop this and it feels great. Saying no is okay to do and if the person truly understands where you are coming from it shouldn't bother them one bit. Let go of   The past This is something I struggle with. - I'm doing much better now, but truthfully I find myself slipping at times. (We all do and that is what makes us human). But honestly, we must learn to let go of past hurts. Once we learn to let go we can live a much happier life. ...

Remember this, you are beautiful, inside and out. Try this, take a few sticky notes and write something positive about yourself on each of those notes.  Place them on your mirror. Each day read one of them. Soon, you'll see just how much those things matter. You are absolut...

This particular day, it was quiet. The weather was cool and the sun hid behind the clouds. This day was great for sitting out at the park. It was a very quiet, peaceful outing. We made our way out to the park. -Kids were playing soccer, and volleyball and adults were grilling under the gazebo.  We sat under a tree and set our blanket up. Our daughter ran in circles, exploring and waving at other children. Eventually, she ran around and played tag with this little boy off in the distance. My husband joined them.  They built castles and forts in the sand. I stayed back. Relaxing and catching up on some reading. It was nice. I took my sandals off. What a relief, for my pregnant feet. Surprisingly they aren't so swollen, just really uncomfortable these days. After reading, I had time to reflect on a few things. Clearing my thoughts and taking in the fresh air.-It was so peaceful. Days like this come and go. When we are able to enjoy da...

Remember... Live your life to the fullest.  Be a shoulder to lean on. Learn to love and experience life. Tell your children daily- how much you love them .-They grow so fast. In life, there will be disappointments and letdowns. But remember to give it all you got.  Remember that you are unique and one of a kind.  Remember that hugs feel good, so why not hug a little longer? A hug changes everything. Remember... How much you are truly loved. -Yes you! You're loved by so many.  When you start to doubt things, remember positive thoughts. You'll be amazed at how quickly your thoughts can change.  Remember to smile, it looks good on you! Take trips- long trips, short trips. Just enjoy those moments on the road.  Remember that it's hard to change some people.- Sometimes it's best to love some people from a distance. It doesn't mean giving up on them, give them a little space.  Some things can be challenging but when y...

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree" -Emily Bronte The weekend arrived, and I was thrilled to adventure out into nature. So much beauty around, the scenery was breathtaking, and there was a cool breeze in the air. When we first moved out here to Colorado, I remember I cried. If you were to ask me why I'm sure I would tell you because I had called Arizona my home for so long. I was just sad to say goodbye. We relocated due to the Army. Once we arrived here, I can honestly say I fell in love. It's been a few years now, and I absolutely love it here. I now call this beautiful place my home.  We took a short adventure out in nature where we enjoyed some fresh air, took family pictures, and let our daughter climb, run, and explore. It was nice watching her enjoy being outdoors. Fall makes me so happy. Leaves changing in color, and falling from trees, it's all so beautiful. We sat by a small creek and enjoyed t...

We started the morning with a trip to our local Barnes and nobles bookstore (they were having a special valentine book, and craft for the kiddos) Our daughter who is going onto two this year absolutely loves doing anything that involves coloring or painting. They read a book, and the children colored a picture, and had a snack. My husband and I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee from Starbucks. Oh how I love weekends spent with my family. I've been doing a few Valentine crafts with our daughter, and she recently painted and glued on a few hearts on some stock paper. I love how creative she is, and I always praise her for what she does. She's growing so fast, and there are times I just stare at her, and I think to myself,- What will she want to be when she grows up, what goes on in her mind when she's playing/or just before she falls asleep. I am so in love with this little girl. She has changed our life in a way I never imagined. All in all today was a good day. I’m thankful ...
