Story Time !
Story Time ! ~Friday Favorites~ My Friday Favorite for this week is story time! Some of the sweetest memories with my children have been made while all curled up reading books together. Can you remember your favorite childhood books? My children sure do, and can even still remember some of them word for word… we may have read ‘Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?‘ one or five thousand times. 🙂 Today, since it’s FRIDAY, and maybe you need a little break too… I want to share my favorite AUDIO BOOKS! Our family has definitely enjoyed some great story times together by listening to someone else read a story!…

3 Things We All Should Do Everyday
~Words for Wednesday~ “3 Things We Should All Do Everyday” “To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh.

If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.” ~ Jim Valvano

It’s All In How You See It !
My Friday Favorite… Sometimes it’s all in how you see things ! I see a bagel, some veggies, and a bottle cap… pretty dang exciting stuff. What do you see ? Do you see it now ? Kinda funny actually. Wonder how many of these little giggles I’ve missed out on! Some days we need a little creativity to find the humor in life. Is my bagel really grinning at me ? Some days we need a little creativity to laugh. I think that bottle cap just winked at me ! A good belly laugh or at least a chuckle can be right in our faces…… It is often…

Becoming Part of Beauty
“We do not want Merely to see BEAUTY We want to become part of it !” (CS Lewis paraphrased) Becoming part of beauty~ Kids are so very good at this. They seem to naturally “get into” the fullness and beauty in life…literally ! They SEE it. They feel it between their toes. They just have to taste it and experience it with all their senses. Kids are the best teachers sometimes. 🙂 Happy Wednesday everyone!
