Second day of thanks

Today I give thanks to my wonderful husband who wakes up Tuesday through Friday at 3:45am to go and work a very physical 10+ hour shift as a beer truck driver so that I can stay home with our daughter. Then on his days off he's always fixing something and working around the house. He is the hardest working, most loving man and the best father I know and I'm so lucky to be his wife.

Today I'm also thankful for Belgium Chocolate Truffle Coffemate, it is making my day today.

and my new favorite song, it makes me cry everytime I hear it. This is how I'm trying to live my life.

The breath you take- George Strait

Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
Try’n to win the race
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

First day of thanks and my first ever scrapbook page

First I want to give thanks today. Today I am thankful for my husband's work supplying us with a turkey so tonight when we go to get our Thanksgiving groceries we don't have to worry about spending alot on a turkey big enough to feed our big family. I'm also thankful for my crockpot because I was supposed to go grocery shopping today but my husband took the only vehicle I can drive, our 4x4 truck, to work because it's going to snow so now we have to brave the grocery store tonight and because of my crockpot we'll have a nice warm pot roast waiting for us when we get home.

Now on to my scrapbook page for my daughters baby book, pretty much all I'm going say is I'm glad it's done and I'm going to respect my inner creative spirit by accepting it for what it is and moving on from there.

Run like a mama

Today I want to write about a new book I'm reading. "Run like a mother", mothers all over the world unite with a common bond but mothers who run unite on a whole other level. Finding the strength within to push yourself out of your comfort zone is hard for anyone, finding the time when you are a mom makes it that much more difficult. But we do it because we like a challenge, it makes us feel good and the weight management isn't bad either. This book is an inspiration to all running mothers, even if you don't run yet but have thought about starting you should definitely read this book. It has all kinds of tips and it really makes you feel like you are part of special group.

blog numero uno

This first blog won't be much. Today so far I've only managed to get this blog going and drink alot of coffee. But I wanted to post something. I plan on this blog being about everyday life, my crafting, baking and being a mama. The simple pleasures in life. Recently my life has changed drastically. I went from commuting 1+ hours daily, working 40+ hours a week at a job I loved but a boss that didn't love me, living in a part of town and house that my husband and I hated ~ to commuting from my bedroom to the living room, being a stay at home mama to a boss that can't live without me and finally living in the country closer to family. We've made huge sacrifices to get here, but the dark clouds are lifting and we're finally happy living a nice, quiet, simple life. The lessons I've learned in the past year are priceless and I thank God everyday for blessing us.
