Out of Commission

So, I have been totally out of commission for the last few months. I was getting pretty overwhelmed with all of our holiday activities and trying to blog. If one thing was going to win it was definitely going to be holiday activities!

I had an awesome time with the kids this year! We participated in many community events, and we have lots of fun memories and many new traditions to carry on next year.

With the new year here I am now looking for a job to continue my career. My baby is a year old (I can't believe it) and financially we really need more income right now. So I am actively looking for a job, and I am just praying and trusting in God to let things flow smoothly and according to His plan.

So I would like to get back into the blogosphere, and I am going to try! But, I don't want to overwhelm myself either. So, no promises!

Thursday Holiday Craft Day

Okay, so last week I said that I would be posting every Thursday about frugal and fun Holiday craft and decorating ideas. If you follow me you know that I am super excited for the Holidays, and it's all I can do not to get my Christmas tree out!! But I am going to start with Thanksgiving...

So my sister and I are going to make Thanksgiving t-shirts this year for our kids (Aubrey, 5, Malachi, 4, Payton, 2, Caitlyn, 9 months). I found brown short sleeved t-shirts for the girls for $3 at Wal-Mart and I like them better than other t-shirts because they are frilly on the sleeves. We are just going to wear long-sleeved t-shirts underneath. I will post pictures of the shirt making process and final product when they are done, which will hopefully be with in the week.

One website that I have found is Enchanted Learning. I am going to be using this site frequently through the coming months. They have many different crafts of many different levels for children. Payton loves to do crafts, and I enjoy bonding with her this way! This picture below is just one of the projects that we'll be doing, and there are so many more!!

If you have an awesome website or you have a post related to this topic please link up and share ideas!!

Life...

I have been wanting to sit down and compose my thoughts since my Grandpa passed away last Friday and this is the first chance that I've had to do so.

Death, unfortunately, gets me thinking. About life. I just want to make sure that I don't take any moment for granted.

With my kids I have been finding myself getting really short on patience lately. Payton (my 2-year-old) is starting to test the waters with me and I have not been as loving or full of grace as I need to be. And I know these years are going to fly by. They already have! I can't believe that Payton is 2, going on 20! So I am resolving to continue down the path of training up my children to behave, but to do so with with grace for them. I want to make sure I have enough playing and laughing time too.

I have also thought about all the things that I would like to say to people that I haven't said. My dad wanted to talk with my Grandpa one last time and he wasn't able to. So I started thinking about what I would want to say to my dad if he passed away unexpectedly. I want to make sure he hears these things before it's too late.

I know that many of us have had moments like this. Where we sit and really reflect on life. I want to make sure that I take these reflections and really apply them to my life. I want to live each moment to it's fullest, enjoying everything that Papa has for me and my family! I want to make sure that I share Papa's love with everyone, and not be afraid to speak the truth out. I want everyone I love to know how much I love them, and I want them to know how much God loves them.

So I am going to live the life that Papa has for me! I am going to love for Him and live for Him.
