tis the season...

so a dear friend of mine should me this super sweet idea...

so we began to make some snowflakes....

i'm very excited for our end product...

It's that time again....

So Thanksgiving is just around the corner...


a great time for some delicious treats to send to school with your children,


or  scrumptious  goodies for your Thanksgiving meal :)


Here are some cute ideas that I would love to do for you!


Let me know if you are interested in anything...

Taking the little things for granted....

so i'm sitting in our "basement of a home"and thinking...
I never thought I would be living with my in laws for this long,
I never thought I wouldn't get the teaching job I've always dreamed about,
I never thought my husband would have been let go from 3 jobs,
I never thought my husband wouldn't have the job that he has always wanted,
I never thought my husband would go through the major health issues that he has,
I never thought I would have kids sooner than what we planned,
I NEVER thought...

This past month has been a whirlwind.
The busiest 31 days of my life.
I hope I never have to live through that again!

Today was the first day in 33 days that I was actually able to spend time alone with the love of my life.
I left work an hour early,
picked up the hubs,
and went to the fire station to vote.
Voting we did!
It felt so strange to be home at 3:15 and have my Malachi all to myself!
Skipping the gym today was the best decision ever to to just spend 2 hours with my husband.
So at 3:15 this afternoon I attempted to make a fire (with the help of Mal)
I spent 2 precious hours with the only love of my life...
eating a smore and just enjoying each other's company.

yes in the midst of my time "heaven on earth" i burned a nice hole in my sweatshirt :( 

I realized tonight... well I guess was reminded tonight of some of the following:
I am blessed to be able to live with my in laws so we can save for our house,
I am blessed for the teaching job that I do have now (even though it might not be the "dream")
I am blessed that God has provided for us at the times Mal hasn't had a job,
I am blessed that God is providing Malachi a job that gives us health benefits,
I am blessed that we have so many loved ones around us who were there for us during our health scare,
I am blessed that Mal and I are still able to have a family together.
I AM BLESSED!
