Niagara Falls Trip
I am finally getting around to downloading some pictures from our trip to Niagara Falls. We had so much fun. It was so amazing to be able to watch the excitement that the girls had over experiencing so many new things for the first time. It is a trip I will never forget!

2 Peas Wednesday Blogger Challenge
Challenge for Wednesday: It's the middle of the week. What do you start to look forward to, during the latter part of your week? Anything? Blog about it... is it something consistent week to week, or does it change as life changes?? Share about some things you are looking forward to.
When the middle of the week comes I find myself looking forwards to Sundays. I try not to book shifts for Sundays so I can look forwards to having at least one day off with the girls the week I have them. I also look forwards to going to church on Sundays. I worship every day but look forwards to the fellowship on Sundays.

2 Peas Tuesday Blogger Challenge
Challenge: Blog about your current fave song you like and why it's your favorite.. Have fun with this one, remember.. Music is indeed the soundtrack of our lives..
The song I love the most right now is The Heart of Worship by Matt Redmon. I have it on the worship CD by Michael W. Smith. The words are this:
When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself is not what You have required
You search much deeper within through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Ev'ry single breath.
This song just speaks to my heart. It reminds me that I need to always have the focus on Jesus and not on all the other "stuff" that goes on around me. The song makes me want to worship with all I have.

My Favorite Things Saturday - Coutts Cofee Shop
This is my all time favorite place to go for coffee. It is worth the 20 minute drive to Perth to be able to be there. I love their flavored coffees and I love just sitting there reading or writing while I drink my coffee in their beautiful surroundings.

IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
This sentence inspires me so much. If not now when? That is how I want to live my life. I want to seize every moment, every day, every relationship. I want to live my life to the fullest and I will never do that unless I seize the moment. If not now, when?

The Newest Member Of Our Family
This is Cinnamon - the newest member of our family. I had no real intention of getting a puppy. I took Emily to the pet store a little over a week ago and she was petting him and looked at me with her huge eyes and said "Mommy - I just fell in love." Needless to say - we took him home.

Feeling Good
I have been spending a lot of time lately focusing on making improvements in my life. Focusing on setting goals to achieve what I really want. Focusing on creating better relationships with the people in my lives. I attendee a Pathways seminar the past few days and learned so many amazing things that are going to be able to help me be able to communicate better. I am looking forwards to learning more and using the skills I have learned. Right now I am feeling good.

My new Scrap/Painting Area
I got so tired of always trying to find all of my supplies so I turned my closet into a scrap/painting area. Worked on it all week. Heree's the finished product.
2 Peas Friday Blogger Challenge
Join us today/Friday if you blog. Challenge: Share with the rest of us, some of your most FUNNIEST MOMENTS in your life. Have fun! Could be anything.. just funny things you remember!
Pretty much all of the funny things I remember are things my daughters have said. They are so innocent and almost anything can come out of their mouths. One was when Emily told me she wanted to be a pinecone when she grew up because they were pretty (she was 3 at the time.) Another was when Amber tried to convince me to come live at her dad's house with him and his girlfriend. She told me that daddy had two pillows on his bed - one for him and one for Amanda and that I could sleep on the couch. It was so honest and so innocent - it was so cute! (She was 6.)
