Life Lessons: Harder to Watch Than to Live Through

Life Lessons
I’ve had plenty of hard things to live through in my life.  I’ve learned a lot from all the things I’ve gone through though, so all the hard things were worth it in the end.  They were hard, but all those difficulties and trials I went through made me who I am today and brought me to where I am today.  Life lessons are always hard to go through.  What I didn’t expect is for Life’s Lessons to be so hard to watch my children go through them.  Much harder than going through them myself.

This is a picture of where we are living now.  Our house is on the left and my mom & sister are living in the house on the right.  This is a picture from Google Maps, so those are not our cars.  LOL! Continue reading

Introducing…. My Son’s Blog – Justice N Words

I’ve been trying to get him to write down his stories and ideas for the longest time.  Partially because I’m his mom/teacher and I know he’s got to “do the work” behind writing, but also because I’m a big fan… Continue reading

Stressed & Waiting…. My Two Favorite Things…. NOT!

Stressed, yes, that is the word of the day… maybe even the week… or month! But really it’s all good right?  Things are popping for us in so many different ways that I’m getting dizzy!  But most of it’s good change.  But change, no matter what kind it is, usually makes me a stress bunny!  So that’s exactly what’s kept me from posting lately.  I’m so stressed I can’t even think straight!  LOL!

Thankful Thursday – Glad I’m Homeschooling In Nevada!

The boys are pretty independent now that they are both in High school.  I don’t talk much about homeschooling anymore because I’m not doing much with their schooling.  We use an online charter high school because I didn’t have the time to devote to their curriculum while running and growing my business.  It was the easiest and best solution.  That being said, I do supplement their education with projects and reports that I assign them to make sure that their education is going in the direction that I want it to.  Today I saw a video excerpt that made me VERY thankful that I am homeschooling in Nevada, though.  This could easily have been me and the boys.

Thankful Thursday – My Mom

There are a lot of people that I love and am thankful for in my life.  There are people who have been supportive of me, who have helped me in so many different ways.  But none of them compare to my mom.  Even as a little girl I knew how lucky I was to have her as a mom, and that has never changed.  That is why I wanted to say Thank You to My Mom today on this beautiful Thankful Thursday.

365 Days of Thank Yous – Double Post

This weekend was a nice one.  I got to see one of my best friends and her new little baby, got to spend some “quality” time with Steve, and even got to meet one of my long time customers face to face.  There’s so many people I have to say thank you to, I don’t know where to start!  Since I didn’t post yesterday, I figured I’d do a double helping of thanks though!  Maybe more.  ;)

Thank You!

The other day we received in the mail a wonderful Thank You note from Steve’s sister.  She was thanking us for the gifts we sent them for Christmas.  Along with her note was another note from her eldest step-daughter, thanking us for her gift as well.  It was so sweet.  Steve’s mom also sent us a thank you card, thanking us for the gifts and the time she spent with us over the holidays.
