New stuff

So much is going on!! We are updating our home. YEA!! We are adding some new cabinets to the rear entry/laundry room area. This will help add some much needed storage. We have also updated our den and dinning room furniture. I will see if I can add some pictures next week. We will be working on a few more projects over the weekend, so I'll update here again next Monday or Tuesday. Have a great weekend!!

Oh, why don't we all start thinking about what we are thankfull for. Even if you can't get new, you can move what you have around. Change it up. Go to Goodwill, check the clearance at Walmart or Target. You can add a few small things for not much money, move some furniture around and have a "new" look. Think about this story, I read in a "FlyLady" email. Ok, to give this story a little depth, you have to know that "FlyLady's" mantra is "You can do anything for 15min.", and it's true! One of the first things she has us do, as a habit, is to shine our sinks every night before bed. There is just nothing like coming into your kitchen and the sink is clean and shinning. So, now back to the story.

Ok, so this lady was just writing in about how thankfull she was to even have a sink. You see when she was little they didn't have running water. No bathroom, think outhouse. yuck!! She never thought anything about it, that's just how she lived. Until.....school and other some children "enlightened" her. So helpfull, huh? Well she found out that they were so poor that their house wasn't even painted, just plain boards, unlike those "helpfull" children. So she had a wish to be well off enough to just have a white house. Well, it turned out that she married the right guy and now has a BRICK house with 3 cars. Oh, I forgot that part. They didn't have a car, they waited for a neighbor or family member to take them to church, or into town. Making you thankful yet? Ok, so she now has more that her wildest dreams and she was feeling like she needed more. Ever been there? I have! Well, she was looking around and realized that she had sooo much! And so she had to write in and say how thankful she was to have a sink to even shine and how silly she was being to have the "I wants".

God wants us to have the best, but we have to follow His path to get there. Hard on our flesh, but soooooooo much better in the long run. I had things in my life that I needed to get straight. Now that those are straight, God is showing me more things to fix. I almost said work on, but if you had been at church on Sunday, you'd know what I mean. Check out the website and you can see the video. There is a link on my blog page. BUT you would be better off coming and hearing in person.

Ok, now that I have gone on some more. Have a great weekend!!

Hello to my Aunt!

Hello to my wonderfull Aunt who has been bugging me to update my blog. Which is looooong over due, for sure.

So who is ready for Thanksgiving? I am almost. We are getting everything in order for now and for Christmas. I am endevering to continue following FlyLady's program, and motto. Well really 2 of her mottos: 1st "It won't get done, if it isn't fun", works for young and old alike, hehe.
And 2nd "You can do anyhting for 15 minutes!". This is a really great website, and the best part is that it's FREE!! All the printouts and email signup is free and all her products ar very reasonable and work great. Ok commercial over. Well i will update hopefully with pics in the next dy or two.
