"She is..."

She is my best friend...
She is easy to talk too...
She is always there rain or shine, early or late...
She is just a phone call away... a hundred times a day...
She is someone who always listens... cares what I think...
She is loving without judgement...
She is caring to all who know her... cares for them too...
She is happy and fun...
She is into boutiques...
She is amazing...
She is into the holidays... can't wait to decorate...
She is the center of our family...
She is strong beyond words...
She is a hard worker...
She is a gardener...
She is a wonderful wife...
She is a terrific g-ma!...
She is love...

She is... my mother... and I love you...

"The Colors of Fall"

I love all the colors of fall, oranges, reds, yellows and that final touch of green. I love the crisp mornings and the winds that stir up the fallen leaves. I love the smell of rain and the coolness of the air before it snows. I LOVE fall!

"Wishful Wednesday"

This is my beautiful daughter, McKenzie, and on this "Wishful Wednesday" I thought I would tell her what I wish for her. My sweet girl, I hope that you always know how much I love you and want the very best for you. I wish for you to be happy and always feel safe. I wish that you will always be surrounded by people who love you and care about what you think and let you be yourself. I wish that you will always have good teachers in school and in church to help guide you throughout your life. I wish that you will always try to listen and try your very best to do the right things and treat others like you like to be treated. I wish for you all the opportunities to take lessons in the things that you enjoy like cheer, tumbling, dance and piano. Most of all, I wish for you to be really happy with your life and all that it can become as you get older. Love you- Mommy =0)

"Thoughtful Thursday"

I just wanted to share one of my most favorite quotes on this Thoughtful Thursday. I have had this posted on my computer at work for years. I hope that you will like it as much as I do.
