The "F" Words that Rule My Life

As I have spent some time following the blogosphere lately I see that it is a trendy idea to pick one word to define your goals and aspirations for the coming year...so I sat in the shower today and tried to figure out what that word was for me.  Well, I have to say that this is very hard...you have to find that perfect word to guide your life for the next year and that is a lot of pressure.  As I sat I realized that my life is ruled by many "F" words.  I figured I would share a few...but not bore you with all of them.  So here goes...First and Foremost (both F words)....

FAITH...Really..this is the easiest because my life would be quite empty without it.   The more Faith I have and carry in my heart the better things become.  I have Faith that everything is just going to get better and better....I mean Life if Good!

Here are a few more:

FINANCES...Oh, I hate this one because it really rules my life way too much.  I wish it was not such an issue but it is what it is ...remember Faith Lisa...

FREE FAMILY FUN...Harkens back to Finances.  I am always looking for ways to enjoy the Family that is easy on the wallet.

FLY-LADY...I am trying to get it all together and have a clean, organized house.  Fly lady helps to break it down for me.  I am great at reading her e-mails...which leads to

FOLLOW- THROUGH...Trying to work on this on all aspects of life.  This is just a good thing to do.  Ever notice that succeddful people seem to have really great follow-through?  They say that they will do something and they do.  I so admire that.  I procrastinate way too much.  So Follow-through is a really good goal for me.

As you see, I could go on and on about this.  The more I write the more F-WORDS I can think of....Now back to that one word that will sum up 2010 for me...huummm?

Actual Sledding

I guess it might be fun to see that we did actually sled that day.  It was cold but so much fun.  I had forgotten what a thrill you can get as you gain the speed going down hill...quite a little rush.  Number 3B did not love the snow in his face..but had fun despite himself!

Sledding Shots

Here is a candid of each of the babies from our recent sledding trip.  I just could not resist....aren't they cute?

First Day Of Pre-School

The B-Man had his first day of Preschool on Wednesday, September 2. He was ready and very excited to see all his buddies from last year. There were no tears this year because this is "old hat" to him now--just big hugs and off to play. Have a great year little man!

Happy Birthday H-Man

Today is your Birthday! I love you so much it makes my heart hurt! You are an AWESOME SON... I can't believe you are 12 today!

God bless you always!

Some Cool Photos From a 3-Year Old!

These photos were taken by the B-Man. Mind you-these are from a 3 year old! I really thought they were kind of neat and that I would share some with you. The B-Man got bored one day having to go to all the siblings sports events so he just took the camera and started shooting. I was actually very impressed. Isn't the shadow one really cool? Maybe we have a future photographer on our hands!

Kinderprints Fingerprint Jewelry

Here are a few recent Kinderprint necklaces that I have done that I just think are really cool. I love how unique each of these are--no two ever the same. I so enjoy making these pieces and realizing the joy that they bring to those who wear them. It is so amazing to be a part of that. Thank you to everyone who supports me with this!
