I am a proud & thankful Mom to two beautiful little girls! They are my life, my sunshine, my heart…they are & always will be my babies, no matter how old they are! I am beyond honored & grateful that Ava & Sophie chose me to be there Mom! My husband has his hands full at times with three girls, but I secretly think he loves it!
Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom! My Mother set a great example for what a Mom should be, I’m glad I picked the best Mom out there! …
I reminded my husband on Tuesday night that is is Mother’s Day on Sunday & asked if he had any ideas of what he was going to get me. His response… “we are replacing our deck & painting the house, that is your Mother’s Day present…” Oh, Ok! Not really what I had in mind. I MIGHT have mentioned that I had something else in mind, something special from the heart, a gift he had thought out & planned. Last night he asked me what I wanted because he wasn’t sure what to do ...
It has been a little over a month since I wrote a Thankful Thursday post…not because I wasn’t Thankful but because there was so much going on in our lives I just didn’t take the time. Even in my darkest times I still had moments of Thankfulness. I also feel like part of being & staying positive is living a Thankful life. Here goes…

I’m Thankful for great doctors that admit to not knowing something & referring you to someone who will know! I’m Thankful my chest xray came back clear! I’m Thankful for a successful ...“You have cancer…” These words changed my life on April 1st. Ironic that it was April Fools’ Day, oh how I wished it was just a bad April Fools prank.
What now?! What’s next?! Am I going to be OK?! Am I going to die?! Am I going to be able to see my girls grow up?! So many thoughts were running through my head in that instant & I’m still crying, silently with my husband holding tight to my hand in the car on our way home from a wonderfully normal family day with the girls sitting behind us oblivious ...
These words were spoken to me on Monday, April 1st & my life changed forever. How did I go from wanting a 3rd child to this life changing sentence?!
Back in August I talked about adding to our family & in December I wrote that we had decided to start the IVF process in January. A doctor at my fertility clinic found fluid in my uterus during a routine ultrasound in January, they drained it & said I could go ahead with an IVF cycle but I just didn’t feel comfortable starting a cycle without talking to my doctor first. When I ...
The idiom “chink in one’s armor” refers to an area of vulnerability. It has traditionally been used to refer to a weak spot in a figurative suit of armor. The standard meaning is similar to that of Achilles’ heel. ~ Wikipedia
I have a HUGE tiny chink in my housewife armor…SEWING! I “made” an apron at a Rhody Bloggers craft night & when I say “made” I mean I sewed cut pieces together, not as straight as I would have liked. My friend Joanna saw my apron & was the to point out the chink in my armor! She was soooo right! My Mom taught ...
How has your week been?! What do you have to be Thankful for this week?!

I’m Thankful for an anniversary weekend away with just my husband! I’m Thankful that we got a chance to ski together for the 1st time in 4 years! He’s taken some time off to watch the kids so I could ski! What a guy!! I’m Thankful that my Mom & Mother-in-law were able to share babysitting duties while we were away! I’m Thankful for FaceTime, which helped us stay in touch with the girls while we were away! I’m Thankful for some maybe good news ...
Being Thankful & living a Thankful life helps to keep me positive even on the darkest days. I’ve had a few dark days recently, days where my mind wants to race to the negative… BUT instead I am remaining Thankful, positive & relaxed. It works, believe me…living a Thankful life helps you to focus on the positives in your life instead of the negatives. Now is the time to give it a try! Start with a few things a week to a few things every day!

An anniversary is a day that commemorates or celebrates a past event that occurred on the same day of the year as the initial event. {Taken from Wikipedia}
Anniversaries…we all celebrate all kinds of anniversaries! Happy events, uplifting events, sad or tragic events, all anniversaries of an event that is celebrated or remembered each year.
Today, March 8th, marks 5 years since my husband & I said “I Do” in a lovely wedding ceremony in Newport. A happy, joyous & love filled event we celebrate each year! One of my favorite & one of the best days of my life…with the other 2 days being our ...
A day late again… These last few weeks have been a little hectic in our household…birthdays, sick kids, travel & health stuff with me makes for some crazy days & weeks! But I still have a lot to be Thankful for! One thing I’ve learned through doing these posts & trying to live a more Thankful life is that by being Thankful whether you write a list or in your thoughts, your life becomes more positive. By focusing on all that you have to be Thankful for, your focus shifts away from the negative & zeros in on ...
You know what they say…”A day late & a dollar short…” but in this instance I think I like “Better late than never…” Thankful Thursday is taking place of Fun Friday instead! Valentine’s Day fell on a Thursday this year, so this is a Valentine’s Edition!
