HAPPY MOM'S DAY!!

Fun to be celebrated, and fun to get to celebrate all the amazing Mom's I know.

Wow, each season of mom-hood is totally different.

That's been my thought for the day.

Pregnant to babies to toddlers on up to adult.

Makes me want to really remember each one, and what my needs were in each season...

Then some day when I have 2 extra seconds, I can turn around and help somebody else!!

(If you are someone with extra moments and you like kiddos, think of someone with little ones and just call and offer to take them an hour.  Or two!!  Even offer to have them drop their kids off with you - so they don't have to get their house up to speed first!  And don't worry, toddlers are destructive but its worth it!)

Anyways, Happy Mom Day to you if you're a mom, and hope everyone had a super weekend!!

my lovely sis, my mom, and me!!

...High Five for Friday...

Ummmm... this week flew by!

Reading a bunch of other High Five for Friday posts from Lauren's blog, I see that many agree with me!

Have you looked at all the people linked in, sharing their Friday High 5s?  SO FUN!

So here we go...  the top 5 things I'm thankful for this week!!

1.  Morning Snuggles!  Who wouldn't look forward to this??

...cozy cozy...

2.  Sunny weather to take out our canoe!  Here we are on the lake.  Lovely lovely!!

Cottage Grove Lake - beeeeeautiful!

3.  You never know how thankful you are for something until its gone...  That's how I feel about my garbage disposal.  My poor hubby worked on it 3 hours last night, flooded the kitchen, cut his finger, and decided we probably need a new one.  I will never take you fore granted again, disposal!!!

...I miss this...



4.  My tabata class.  And my instructor, Jon.  We were chuckling at his quotes that keep us going: 

"Its only 4 minutes!"  "You didn't come here to lolly gag along!"  "Ride those squats!"

Here's a video - check it if you haven't experienced tabata yet:

5.  I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING OFF OF PINTEREST!  For Mother's Day we made all the awesome moms, grandmas, aunts, and friends photo cards using signs!  Pretty fun, though I took over 70 pictures to get 7 finals!!  Thank God for Digital Cameras!!



What a week!!  Ready for a long SUNNY weekend!!

Enjoy yours!!
