Do you need some perspective? Sometimes I do.
Many times in this day and age I find myself taking much for granted and being less thankful (if I am going to be frank). I wish it wasn't that way, but it can be so easy to get caught up in this world and it's current atmosphere and I can be ridiculous at times. Thankfully, there are people out there that are willing to point out very important obvious things and help us to put things back into perspective. Here are two great examples for doing just that very thing, and after reading and listening to them, you will hopefully recall all the amazingly wonderful things you have to be thankful for as I did. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you all have a lovely time with your families!

Tonight as the kids lay in there beds while listening to their bedtime music (that apparently ended), Jeff and I were chillin' on the couch watching V. I happened to get a popsicle craving, so I got up and picked out a yummy real fruit lime one. As I headed back to the couch I had to stop and listen more intently on my children's on going conversation they were having. M was saying something I could not make out and apparently L could not either, because all of a sudden I hear her blurt out, "Stop speaking English, speak Michigan!" Oh man, that made me chuckle pretty good right there. My hubby looked at me quizzically, so I relayed to him what was going on and what L said. Her words h
The BIG Unveiling
Ladies and Gentlemen,I am now preparing to unveil the BIG project we have just completed (thanks to my wonderfully talented and generous father in law)for our children. This is their BIG Christmas gift, that got done a bit early and no one is complaining, believe me. We are all jubilant that the project has come to fruition (especially Papa!) and we can all sit back relax and enjoy listening and watching the kiddos engrossed in imagination land in their Tree House Beds! It all started with this great little posting on Marvelous Kiddo as you can see from my earlier post
