The life of a cat

So glad we finally got around to getting a cushion for the bench seat. It's now become a lovely cat bed for our feline friends. I was so thoughtful in getting one with three segments, so that each cat understood his/her own territory. sigh. It would be nice to nap in the warm, spring sunshine! Cuddle up with a good book and just bask in the light. Instead I'm off to vacuum more cat hair from the cushion the kids "needed".

Words to live by:

Laugh often & laugh loud 

Whenever possible, make peace

Challenge EVERYTHING, you think you know

Sometimes you just got to get a little dirty

Always have fresh flowers in your house- it's like a little burst of sunshine

Never, ever forget the little guy

Thankful!

I've been thinking about all the thinks I am thankful for lately. With the holiday's fast approaching, it's always a time I spend doing some personal reflection. It's interesting how much the "thing" I appreciate have changed over the years! There are many things that I thank the heavens for that never would have occurred to me pre-kids days. Here's a few things I am currently appreciating:

• Shiny, red, little girl shoes! Little Miss {M} has always had really wide feet and it's always a LONG trial finding shoes that fit each season. This fall she had her heart set on shiny, red fancy shoes. I cringed when I heard what she was looking for, not because I didn't want her to have them, but at the the sheer chance of finding some that fit her-in a normal price range. The first store we walked into, the shoes called to her. They fit, and at a $4 price, I couldn't believe it! She wakes up each morning and puts them on her feet smiling. For a few days she had some blisters, instead of not wearing them, she wore them on the wrong feet, so they would not sub. -sigh- How sweet are little girls?
• Naptime! Ohh naptime, how I cherish you with our spirited third child. You save my sanity several times a week!
• Our furry family members. They always manage to cheer me up with their silliness and never ending love. They are a special part of the family
  

• A warm and happy home to raise my children in! While it may not be the biggest, newest or fanciest, the amount of love found here makes it the best!
• Children who think for themselves and question everything! Great little minds are growing stronger each and everyday!

What are you thankful for lately?
