This peaceful moment... Just a little afternoon pick me up. A hot cup of coffee and currently reading - Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. Each Thursday, I'll be posting a photo taken during a peaceful moment. What was your peaceful moment this week?

I'm finding more time to rejoice in simple moments. So much has been going on lately. This month my husband and I will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary.- We're both very happy and amazed at how much things have changed over time. Our family has grown. -More laughter, hugs, kisses, and more time to make beautiful memories.  This month also marks one year of a close friend's passing.- It actually is still very hard. I'm finding that if I think of all the happy memories, and her positive outlook on life, it makes things easier. I think about her often. - She was beautiful inside and out. I've been staying busy.  We're currently going over our weather unit study. Our daughter seems to be enjoying her time learning about clouds, rainbows, wind, and all the other elements of weather. Our little sweet pea has been coloring and exploring books, and play dough. Her two top teeth just recentl...

This peaceful moment... The sun gently kissed our skin. We walked, talked, and enjoyed our time in nature. Just the four of us.- It was such a beautiful day. Each Thursday, I'll be posting a photo taken during a peaceful moment. What was your peaceful moment this week?

The aroma of coffee fills the air each morning.- I enjoy this time. Honestly, it has been so peaceful.  I haven't had much time to stress.- And I am so thankful for this. Our Christmas was peaceful.

Get to know me! With the help of one of my awesome friends, I've answered a few questions on blogging and life. Enjoy~ Q- Do you enjoy blogging? And why? A-I truly enjoy sharing my journey with all of you.- My thoughts, photos, current happenings, and much more. It really brings peace within. I honestly don't blog for followers. (If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might have noticed that I've taken down my followers). I actually did that some time back. There are a lot of bloggers out there that compare followers and comments, etc. I'm definitely not one. (So please don't leave me a link saying if you follow my blog, I'll follow you back). Honestly, we should all read blogs because we enjoy them. Not because you want a follow back. All I want is for you to come along on my blogging journey and enjoy it! -Whether you follow me, or you're just a visitor. Q-Tell us a little about the blogger... A-I'm a simple person, who tends to love ...
