Thanks Thanks and Thanks

Today I am thankful for whole family. How wonderful they really are and how lucky I am that they are very loving, fun, and supportive!

Thanks Thanks and Thanks

Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it. Either make it your status on your facebook, myspace or put it on your blog. "Today I am thankful for..." The longer you do it, the harder it gets! Now if you think you can do it then repost this message to invite others to take the challenge, then post what YOU are thankful for today.

Keeping the Kiddos Occupied!

Are you planning an event of any kind that involves children or need something to occupy your little one? Then here is an inexpensive, quick and veeeery easy idea for you!

Create coloring sheets for the tikes to be occupied with.

If you are planning a Wedding and want to keep the children occupied, select a clip art that would go with the theme of your Wedding. Celebrating your Child's Birthday and need an activity for them to do? Try this!

For Boston's birthday we will be doing a Circus theme and print outs will be of circus animals in action. These little works of art are keeping the kiddos occupied and giving you a new piece to hang on the fridge!

What you will need:
You need a program that gives you a Clip Art option, such as Microsoft Word. You'll need black ink in the printer, paper and crayons of course!

If you want to take it one step further and laminate the coloring sheets, you'll either need to take them to a Kinkos or store alike and have them laminated or invest in your own machine. You'll also need non-toxic dry eraser markers instead of crayons.


I hope you enjoy!!

Finance update

About a month ago, I posted something about reaching your finance goals. I am proud to say that my husband and I reached our first goal of painting our home! Now, we'll be saving up for decorating and then of course, our larger goals of paying off a credit card and vehicles! If you didn't get to see the Finance Post, click here and check it out!

Mom's Daily Inspirations

Some things only a mom can fix. Like Hamburger Helper with no hamburger. Like a broken shoestring, or a broken heart, or a breaking out on your face. Moms can handle that. moms are a breed apart.

Mom's Daily Inspirations

A family is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be.
