I Believe...

Remember back in the day when we used to write cutesy assignments about how we felt?  Did you ever stop to think about how those were impacting you and helping you grow as a person?  Me neither.
So tonight, I decided to sit down and write out what I believe today. Because BOY has my outlook changed since the last time I did something like this in high school!! So here goes...

🌟I believe Jesus is Lord
🌟I believe family comes first
🌟I believe a healthy lifestyle matters
🌟I believe in a back to basics lifestyle.
 🔸Breakfast should be at the kitchen table. Lunch and dinner should be there as well. 🔸Families should pray around their meals. 🔸Children should be taught right from wrong and to respect their elders. 🔸A child's education begins in the home. If they are taught strong values there, they will have a firm foundation. 🔸The TV is OK as an educational tool and for occasional entertainment. It should not be on at all times.
🔸Books are not overrated. There's something magical about being the person who gets to read the fresh pages first. 🔸Holidays are as magical as you make them. That does not mean you need to spend thousands on each one!🔸The outdoors are beautiful and wonderful. You should spend time in them daily. Even if it's raining!!

Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

My Happiness Project

As I sit here reading "The Happiness Project," I am so overwhelmed by just how much I needed this book. Have any of you read this book?! What did you think of it? Posted by Allison Valree Federico on  Tuesday, November 1, 2016 When I sat down to begin reading, I heard the kids playing upstairs...and I was worried about it.... "What is my son getting into now?" (It's always, always always something!) "Are they going to get hurt?" "What if a neighbor stops by and realizes that I'm letting my kids play without helicoptering them? What will she think?" But the truth of the matter is, she is almost 5 and he is 2, and really they can play alone for 10 minutes while I read, and (as long as they don't burn the house down), most messes will be cleanable.... But the point is, I started out with the wrong mindset to begin! Just 5 minutes into my reading, I already see that! My kids are LAUGHING. And having FUN tog...
