Today there was not a lot to be done except usual yard saling and cleaning house. It started raining later in the day and I decided straightening my hair might be fun. Doesn't make much for reading but thought I would post pictures either way.

Mother's Day Weekend
"Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her!" - Proverbs 31:28
I feel so incredibly blessed to be James and Susan's mother. After struggling with infertility for so many years, you can imagine the joy in eventually becoming a mom to not one but two children and they are so beautiful, I can not even express how blessed I am. They bring such joy and happiness to our home. Each day brings about new challenges but I thank God that he has given me the opportunity to be the mother to these two beautiful children and take honor in celebrating Mother's Day!
This is a picture taken just this past weekend of James and Susan at their next to last soccer game. They are growing up so fast, it is unbelievable.
Where would I even start with my mother's day weekend! Oh my goodness, it was so much fun! My husband treated me to a night at Sun Viking Lodge in Daytona as a gift...it is a small hotel with a 60 ft water slide for the kids. They absolutely love it and we all know as parents that keeping your kids occupied and happy is just as much of a gift for you as it is for the kids, so that was really fun.
When we came home from the hotel my daughter had made some pretty awesome cards and pictures for me and to me, homemade cards mean more to me than anything. They were pretty special and you could tell she had worked hard on them to make them look really cute. When I get a chance, I will scan in a couple of the cards. Very touching!
Okay, well I am going for now. After such a long weekend, I am really exhausted and ready to just relax.

Yardsale Finds
Today is Friday, which means yardsaling!! I just love yardsaling. I love all of the pretty cool stuff that you can find at such an amazing price. I wanted to post a few things that I have been able to pick up lately that I love! I have so many things that I have bought at yardsales but I will just post a few today. God is so good, it is not always things that I need at yardsales but there are times that God just knows my heart and I end up finding a tangible piece of his blessings. Let's say I need new shoes for the kids or a new coat or whatever it may be God just directs me to just the right place that I can find those things. Today I only found one item I could not live without, an aged antique white birdhouse that I immediately placed on my dresser in my bedroom. I will have to take a picture of that arrangement, I love shabby chic and that is as close to that I can get.
Here are a few things I have found so far though.....
What is so neat about these finds are the picture was only $10. The original owner said that she paid $95 for it, not that I would ever pay that much. Also, the purse was only $10. It is a Dooney and Bourke. So these are just a couple of fun things that i have found.
Well, almost time to pick my kiddos up from school so I will go for now and will post more later!
TGIF!
