Warm, snuggled up, and carried from room to room. This little blanket will certainly be with her where ever she goes. My two-year-old is growing so quickly and she is full of energy. These days she's running, jumping, singing, and twirling. I really cherish these moments and honestly, I wish they would stay this small forever.   I recently sewed a blanket for her. It will keep her warm through the winter months. She's always talking about Doc Mcstuffins, so I found a cute pattern I'm sure she will love. When her sister was two I made a blanket for her as well. She continues to use it through the winter months and I'm thrilled to see her little sister enjoy her new blanket soon. I'll wrap it and tie a bow around it and place it under the tree until Christmas. Maybe one day they will pass their blankets down to their little ones.  I hope she knows that this blanket was made with some much love. 💗

Lately, we've been having a jolly good time!  There has been baking, gift wrapping, board games, Christmas music and twinkling lights everywhere. I love this time of the year. Our home smells of sweet, warm scents.  Our Christmas lights come on every evening around five. We recently picked up our Starbucks Holiday blend. My husband makes a fine cup of coffee. Some of our selected Christmas music brings back a few childhood memories. One song in particular is, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I have a picture of me from when I was younger; I performed this song in Germany and wore the the antlers and had a little red nose.  I wasn't quite a wee one, but I was in elementary school at the time. Our oldest daughter loves asking questions about her daddy and I. She normally asks questions about our childhood. Growing up my mother never wrapped our Christmas gifts. It wasn't such a big deal, but now that I am older and have children of my own, I have s...

💗 Home is where my heart is filled with love. Home is where I am free. Home is my calm place. The sweet aroma of cookies baking fills the air. My girls are playing and I can hear their precious little laughter. My husband and I sit and chat for a while. I'm so happy he's home. Music plays softly in the background.  The evening is calm.  I cherish these moments we spend at home. “Home is the nicest word there is.”  ―  Laura Ingalls Wilder

   My  opinions are completely my own based on the products I have received.  (Tiny Prints link exchange)     We all know that around this time of the year, things can get pretty hectic.  If you're anything like me, you like to get things done ahead of time. With that being said, I received an order of Christmas cards from Tiny Prints that reflected exactly what I requested.    I also got a Christmas ornament that was in an attractive little bag.    I love the fact that I am able to visit their site and create my very own custom cards, for a price not much more than purchasing card stock. If you aren't familiar with Tiny Prints, they make custom items typically based on your pictures.      My recent order included 10 whimsical rainbow pearl-themed cards, 10 5x7 bright red bokeh confetti envelope liners, 10 gold envelopes, and a bright red sugar vine Christmas ornament. My cards are a ...

I am here. I am loved. I am free. 💗💗💗 Today is a new day and the Lord is my rock.  He's given me this day to inspire, help, learn, and love others. For this...I am thankful. Today I breathe in new air and my heart beats with excitement.  My girls inspire me to be the best mother I could possibly be to them. Their love is so much more than I ever imagined. They lift me up and bring daily joy, laughter, and happiness to my heart. For this...I am thankful. My husband...my love, almost 14 years of marriage, and still he amazes me. I love that he loves me for ME. He challenges me, inspires me, and believes in my dreams. For this...I am thankful. My days are long. I'm not perfect. And I often question my own abilities.  There's always a challenge. But, I stop and remind myself that I am only human. My heart continues to beat and I have so much love to share.  I wish you all well. May your days be filled with great joy...

This peaceful moment... I recently purchased this candle wax warmer and I've been enjoying some  warm autumn scents.  All is well and definitely cozy around here. Warm blankets, cider, and lots of snuggles.  How are you spending your days?  Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment. I would love to hear what your peaceful moment has been during the week or a peaceful memory from the past. Leave your comment below or on Google+. 

November 2015. A week before Thanksgiving we made a few little pom poms felt turkey crafts. The little ones seemed to have enjoyed this craft. When Thanksgiving arrived, we placed each turkey on the table for display. Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment. I would love to hear what your peaceful moment has been during the week or a peaceful memory from the past. Leave your comment below or on Google+.
