A new perspective on blogging...

     So the past week I have been reading the book Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielson (Nie Nie) and I was obviously inspired by her story (if you want to know more about it click here.)  Blogging had been a hobby of hers before her accident that she actually had gained a lot of followers from and really all she was trying to do was to share her thoughts as a mother and wife since she was going to be far away from her family in Utah when they moved to New Jersey.  Annnnyways, I just thought maybe I should make blogging more of a journal of my life rather than a chore of posting pictures and using up so much time to make, as it has been in the past, yearly updates.  I used to write in my journal every day when I was in high school but since I have been worse than awful.  So if you want to hear the random happenings of a mother of three by all means keep reading, if not I wont be offended because I won't even know.  
 
I have been having a hard time lately with being negative....maybe its the screaming 4 and 2 year olds that make me feel gloomy but I wanted to post everyday what I am grateful for so that my perspective might change and I will be a nicer mama....(you know you need to work on something when after getting after Griffin for something he was doing, Maelie looked at me and growled as if I sounded like an angry bear! How embarrassing!)

First off, I am grateful for my hot husband who saved me way back then (yeah this picture is a little old, hence the skinny me) and still saves me everyday! He knows just when its time for me to get out of the house and head to the gym so that my sanity can be saved.

I am grateful for my Kindle Fire...stupid, I know, but I love it! Maybe just the fact that I can read in the dark made it worth the purchase. 

And last for tonight...I'm grateful that Maelie ate four bowls of what I made for dinner tonight.  That always makes life just that much easier!
