Happy Holidays everyone!
Well another Thanksgiving for most has come and gone..(we celebrate saturday when the whole family can be here at mom's). I do hope you took time to reflect on thankful things..A lot of times we tend to reflect on just the bad things or just the good..
We honestly need to take time for both.Negative and Positive.Good and Bad.laughter and tears.it is all what makes us stronger or weaker.i have found for myself that in bad times it seems to strengthen me,in the good times i guess i just want to lavish in it..
My family has had a lot of bad this year,could be worse so i don't have much time for "pity parties".At times this past year i have just wished i could find a place and just fall apart,but i knew i couldn't.I have a 2 year old grandson ,full time ,and a 5 year old grandson,part time,to raise..They depend on me ,so i pray a lot,laugh with them as much as possible and smile through tears.Iknow this season will change and maybe make a better,and stronger,Mom,Grandma,Sister,Daughter,Aunt ,Friend and Christian out of me..
If these things are accomplished ,then all is worth it.I try to always look around and see what other people are facing,maybe have a kind word for them instead of pity for myself..I have found if nothing else,that there is always someone with a harder problem than my own.So on that note,i will not fall or despair..
God gives us the grace we need to stand strong ,we only have to accept it..and i do...Good can come out of anything ..no matter how bad.
On the flip side,i am looking forward to my new grandbabies next year,my son will be daddy for the first time and he and julie could not be happier! justin,nephew ,and his lady are expecting at almost the same time as well as my daughter..so 3 new babies next may to go along with my precious billy and kolby.I have always said i wanted to have a holiday table when i got older filled with grandbabies ,just like my grandma's had..
Looks like God is granting me that wish.
If i leave them one day with nothing more than my love and a knowledge that there is always hope, to never fail because there is a god above whom loves them,,then i can be happy with that.a legacy i would be proud of...
SO REMEMBER TO BE THANKFUL,AND GIVE WHEN YOU CAN TO OTHERS...SOMEONE ALWAYS HAS IT WORSE...
i'd also like to invite you over to my other blogs as well..

CANT GET RICH
he says there is no way to get rich online...i am pretty sure he is right unless you have lot's of money to start up..since most of us don't...oh well...but there is a little extra money to be made ,i have found that out(the hard way i may add,,lol).
anyway this is a really neat site with good info ,and not too mention a kickin contest going on now through 11:59 on December 1st.Whoever wins gets a $100 gift certificate to the Apple store!
..i would love to win this contest,i'd be able to get a really nice gift for my son.finances are very tight(honestly) right now even hubby working overtime..so it would be nice to win...
I created this site to tell the world that you can’t get rich online, because all of the good ideas are taken. After only 4 days, this site has surpassed my personal blog in hits per day, and that’s been live since July.
You know what though? I’m not satisfied. So many of you out there still foolishly believe that you can get rich online. I need to get the word out. So, like so many other bloggers out there, I’m going to have a contest. The rules for the contest are simple:CLICK TO READ MORE-> enter now!

Was just visiting over at Mamanista's and yet another prize has been added to the 12 days of giveaways!
Win Hip and Practical Baby Clothing from Stylease!
At Mamanista, we believe that moms shouldn't have to choose between style and practicality when buying baby clothing. One of our goals is to find a reasonably-priced, easy-to-launder, comfortable and hip-looking outfits for baby.
I have to give Mama Luxe credit for finding Stylease in her daily internet browsing and emailing me photos of their adorable outfits. Pictured at left is the "Chips & Cheese" outfit from Stylease's Spring Line that I received. Even though this looks like a three-piece layered outfit, it is actually one-piece!
You'll find it easy to dress baby since this one piece has snap openings in the crotch for easy diaper changes and hidden snaps to open the outfit to the waist in the front. And baby will look fashionable all day (or at least until he spits up) because the attached-shirt will never ride up, twist or tangle. I laundered the "Chips & Cheese" outfit, and it held up really well in the wash and had no color-bleeding at all. (According to the Stylease website, all the outfits are made with colorfast fabrics.)
You Can Win a Stylease Spring or Fall Outfit!
One lucky reader will win an outfit from the Stylease Spring or Fall Line as part of Mamanista's 12 Days of Giveaways. To enter for a chance to win, you must complete both of these steps:
