A decision

I've decided to end my blog. I think that there are only 3 people who read it(maybe not that many!), and I don't post all that often. I love to read others blogs and I love the idea of having a blog, but time wise and lets be honest excitement wise too I don't have too much to offer! Thanks for reading if you did!

Having Fun!

I thought this was so cute, I had to share it!

Christmas Cookies!

We try to take our neighbors cookies @ Christmas every year. Some years are better than others, but we are done for this year. It feels very good to do something for others. I enjoy it and I think it's a great thing for the kids to do too. I also enjoy the surprised looks. I hope we can be a good witness to our neighbors as well as trying to get to know them better.

Here is the finished product! We put chocolate chip, orange cookies, molasses, soft sugar cookies, and cut out cookies in the bags. I hope they enjoy!

Being truly Thankful

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. It used to be an excuse to get out of school! Now it's about being truly thankful for what God has given me. Here is a list of things I'm thankful for:

An Omnipotent God

Jesus making the ultimate sacrifice for me

My husband

My 3 beautiful children

My family and friends

Having a home and having food to eat

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Look what I got!

I am so excited! Yes I know it's a drying rack. Most of the time it will be used for diapers. My old rack is on the left, my new one on the right! You can see the size difference! It has plenty of room on it! I love it!
