It's amazing what a little sunshine can do for the soul...

I'm the only Mommy who gets to be the Cat in the Hat to his Ninja...
I'm the only Mom who gets to maul him with kisses, though he pretends to not like it...

I'm the only Mommy who gets to wear pigtails with this little cutie...

I'm the only one who gets to call him my husband.

Today is about being grateful for what I've got...

Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog from-pillar-to-post. please come visit another time! Yes, sometimes we need to take a step back and count our blessings and be happy with them. I read this quote “A good memory is one that can remember the day's blessings and forget the day's troubles” Oh, we all need good days like this! God bless!

Don't you just love mauling them while they pretend to hate it?

Hey,

I was reading your blog and some of your archives and I think they are very entertaining and somewhat informative. I am not a wife or a mother, but I am a 21 years old college student that is interning at this children clothes-manufacturing company by the name of Kahn Lucas. They make wonderful little girl clothing from newborn to size 16. There are many separate labels under Kahn Lucas that are sold at various different stores that you may or may not be familiar with. The labels under Kahn Lucas are: Youngland, Emily West, Jenny & Me, Sweet Heart Rose, and Dollie & Me. These amazing collections can be found at stores such as JcPenny’s, Kohl’s, Sears, Burlington Coat Factory, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, BJ’s, Belk, and Lord and Taylor. I know for a fact that girls all over the world love the clothing because as a part of my interning responsibilities, I am in charge of organizing all of the post cards that are sent in everyday by these same little girls whose parents bought them an outfit from one of our clothes divisions and they continuously write about how much they love the clothes.

Even if you’re not particularly interested in children clothing, they also make very cute dolls under their Dollie & Me collection. What’s so cool about the Dollie & Me collection is they make matching outfits so the girl’s outfit is the same as her doll. Check out the website for yourself at Kahnlucas.com. Not only is all the clothes that they sell on this website, but they have very cool games that I have also played quite a few myself during my spare time.

Whether you have daughters or not, with the holiday season just around the corner, these amazing pieces of clothing (and dolls) are so exquisite they would make lovely gifts.

Thanks, Anonymous. You can move along now.

I'm grateful for 'delete' buttons.

Glad you're feeling the love today!

Thanks for helping all of us to remember. Spent the weekend as a leader to a group of 7th grade girls at a church camp. Reminded me how without the distractions I am capable of so much more connection. What a gift for me to be there, be reminded of that, and come home ready to gaze in each of their little eyes without thoughts of what I was forgetting to do.

Yes. So important to remember that we're their only mommies. Helps us feel better, but also helps us BE better. Thanks.

Being grateful...isn't it funny how those moments just "hit" us and we're immediately in this frame of mind where we feel the need to be thankful for every single thing? Those moments give me warm and fuzzies...
