Cleaning is no joke when you have little ones… Right!? Well as I see it, cleaning is hilarious when you have little ones running around. You pick one item up and another pops up on the floor. It is literally my never ending story along with the laundry duty that goes on in this house. Yeah got to say laundry isn’t my favorite chore either. The joys of parenthood, I will say this though cleaning with the kids is awesome. Watching them put away the toys and bicker where the right place to put the them away is hilarious. Some of the craziest conversations come along during clean-up time. Then there are the days when clean up is not an option, yep…those days occur too. To be fair I think adults have a similar mindset, we tend to have those days that we won’t nothing to do with adulting. Cleaning up can be a pain…along with laundry :). I just find it so funny that as adults we still have that child-like attitude towards cleaning and grown-up responsibilities. Our kids are literally our little mini mes…mine sure are. I just love connecting with them and spending quality time with them even in the most serious moments of our busy lives.

Cherishing the Moment
The last few days have been super busy and slightly unproductive but I have made lots of great memories that I will always cherish. This past week has been full of the ups and downs and we are in the middle of trying to buy a house so that doesn’t help with the crazy but making memories with my little ones have been so rewarding over the last week. Like the other day, as crazy as it got there were some hilarious moments that had me rolling on the floor. For instance when I knocked over the corn mill on one of my cats in the kitchen while trying to make snacks for the kids and put up groceries, along while the kids are running throughout the house with the video game blaring in the background. Yes those are the funny yet crazy moments that I love. No matter how crazy your day can get there is always a way to turn around that moment into a cherished one. Cherish the moment, scrap book it, take pictures, embrace it and enjoy it! I don’t want to regret I want to remember all the fun, the good, the excitement I have and will have with my kids. 🙂
Productivity at It’s Finest
This week has been a very productive one, the only thing I found unproductive was the doctor’s visit yesterday. They didn’t seem to be as helpful and only left me with more problems to worry about. I will say Vacation Bible School was a success though.
Today I have been kind of going with the flow and you know it really is funny how much more relaxed I am than when I am worrying about every little detail of my typical day. I guess the lesson I learned from this is don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control just go at your own pace. 🙂 Can’t believe it is already July 1st!!! Yikes, time is just a flying this year! Soon school will be starting and then Christmas!
I am brainstorming as well on another book I am wanting to write. I really enjoy dystopian fiction novels and science fiction. 🙂 Well I hope you all have had a great day and enjoy your family during this wonderful Holiday weekend! 
My StoryBook
Sometimes I wonder if I am literally in the twilight zone :). Laundry everywhere, toys scattered like death traps…Yikes! and video games a blaring while the cats are chasing each other from one end to the house to the other. Yep, that is a typical day for me and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Being a mom is so enjoyable and has so much meaning. Through the crazy and dramatic moments there are always unforgettable memories being created. Life is like a story book with lots of amazing pictures. The memories are the pictures and as you gain them you are building on your story. So what is your story… What is your adventure?
We all have a story to tell no matter how interesting, strange, out of this world it may sound. Everyone is different and has a purpose to fulfill. No one can write your story except yourself. Mine is to serve the Lord ALL the days of my life, standing by my beloved husband through it all, to be the best Mom I can possibly be to my Children, and live my life to the fullest! 🙂

Pinterest Addiction Alert
Yep…. That’s right! Pinterest has become the latest fad in my little bubble!
When you have kiddos finding crafts can be a chore at times. Not with Pinterest ❤️. Nope! All you have to do is browse and you will find something that will interest you! 😉
Trust me, Pinterest has everything you can think of. I even promote my Avon and Jamberry businesses on there.
It is a great place to also throw out your ideas to others as well. Yep Pinterest has become this mommy’s new best friend!!!
CrAzY Weeks!
I know I have been out of touch and haven’t been blogging recently. My schedule has been extremely crazy recently due to Church Camp (which was AMAZING!), selling and throwing Jamberry and Avon parties, planning for VBS (vacation Bible school), three birthdays this week, and the list goes on. Yes, as a parent we tend to forget that time is not a luxury *SIGH* but I am here to say no matter how busy you stay always try to stay focused on the positive. It is an uphill battle sometimes but always remember it may be a challenge to climb to the top of that hill but once at the top its an easy slide down.
No matter how crazy your days and weeks are you are AMAZING. If you haven’t heard that by anyone else then I will say it. As a parent you work hard to provide the best possible care for your child. You stride to make sure they have the best no matter what the cost is. Remember you are their hero even if everyone else views you differently. YOU. ARE. GREAT. 🙂

Talk about a Scare!
Leave it to my two year old Joseph to give me the scare of a lifetime! Last night at 11:00pm…yeah we were all still awake! Well Joe Joe decided to take a stroll without mommy. I was finishing up feeding the baby and I heard Joseph cry! I quickly hear him calm down when another adult consoles him, so I unlatch the baby and position him on the bed so he won’t fall off! I slide off the bed and go hunting for him but realize he is nowhere to be found in the dorm!! I quickly panic and frantically search inside, but no sight of him. Once I realize he isn’t inside the building I race outside with a few more ladies! He was no where to be found. I see a child from the distance that resembles Joe Joe but realize very quickly that was not my son. At this point I felt my whole body go numb. My heart was frantically beating and my stomach was in knots. It was pitch dark and we were in the middle of nowhere! Frantically a whole bunch of other camp counsellors jump on in the search. Well within five minutes of searching he was found!!! He had chased the baby kitten that was on the camp grounds to the other side of the camp! Talk about a relief and a scare that will imprint on me for the rest of my life. There is nothing like the feeling of not knowing where your child is!! I am writing this post to raise awareness! You can turn your back for a second and that’s all it takes!!! I don’t wish that fear, that pain, that feeling upon anyone!
I am sharing this story so other parents are aware of how quickly your child can disappear from your sight. I am fortunate that nothing happened to him and that he is safe but others are not so fortunate.
Shirley and Ryder
I am dedicating this post to my daughter Shirley and her boyfriend Ryder!
For two years my daughter and Ryder have been boyfriend and girlfriend! The only time they see each other is camp but ALL year around they stay devoted to each other! It is the cutest little romance! I just love the innocence behind their little fling! They are so inspiring and are both such sweethearts! Church Camp 2016!!!
The Ultimate Gift
This week I have been at church camp and have been unable to get as much done with my writing. This week has been so rewarding though! Watching young children get saved and commit their lives to the Lord is what it is ALL about!
Today I am going to share with you an experience that happened this week that really touched me. My daughter Shirley broke down into tears Wednesday night after service. I questioned her to see what was wrong! The first thought as a mother you automatically think the worst. Well she opened up and said ‘Jesus’! At first I didn’t know how to react, I went on probing her thoughts as any mother would. She went on to say ‘died for our sins and I’m a sinner’. Once those words slipped out of her mouth I felt the tears form in my eyes. I knew then she was grasping the weight of the price Jesus paid for ALL of us. She was hurting because of the price Jesus paid for her sins, our sins! It was such a beautiful and touching moment. She will be six next week and has become aware! God can convict your heart at any age and at anytime! This was an eye opener for me because I forget how much our kids pick up and how much they truly understand!!
God sent Jesus to die on the Cross for OUR sins. He paid the ULTIMATE price! It is a FREE gift, ALL you have to do is pray and put your TRUST in JESUS!
