Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treating with 10 of her favorite cousins! Trick or Treating was serious business she had to walk all by herself and carry her own bucket!! ..... But she slept like a champ!!!

Don't Hurry, Don't Worry, Don't Stop

Don't Hurry, Don't Worry, Don't Stop

- Disney-

Yes, This is some of the wonderful information I learned Yesterday!! This qoute came from Walt Disney after he had drawn out the plans for Disneyland on a Napkin on his Lunch Break. His friend asked him how he was going to accomplish this HUGE task he had just laid out before him. His response was

"Don't Hurry, Don't Worry, Don't Stop"

Don't Hurry- Becuase you will miss out on the amazing things going on in your

life right now, and the process of reaching your goals.

Don't Worry- Savor everything that happens in your life

and know it is for a reason.

but,

Don't Stop- Never ever ever ever give up! As long as you are working toward

something no matter how small it is it is still getting you closer to reaching your goals!

Here is Looking at you Kid- Megan

Just What I Needed. . . .

I had one of the best days ever today. You know how sometimes you just get in a rut and can figure out how to get out. I been feeling a bit like that lately. Today I went to a Women's Entrepreneurs Conference.( Yes, I am a small business owner so the DATC/Chamber of Commerce gave me a free scholarship to attend this conference) it was the best thing EVER. Every hour of that conference I learned something new. I left there today feeling like a had done something ( OK MANY things) to better myself. So I do not forget I am going to blog a new concept each day till I run out of things to say.

Today's Life: Lesson: Life is Long and in the End, you may be able to have it all . .. just not on the same Day! - Marilyn Carlson

Loved this! Because being a mother of small children and teaching preschool is not the most glamorous thing I have ever done but I am doing it because RIGHT now it is my plot in life I really do not think I will teach forever. And I am sure when I am older doing something glamorous (lol) I will look back and wish my children were little again, and I was the mother staying home with small children. I guess what I am trying to say is, I hope I can enjoy what I have while I have got it! and not take my family and beautiful children for grated. They are the 3 greatest people in the universe and I consider it a Privilege to be their wife and mother. Hope that makes sense to you?.... Meg

PS-- I need to give a shout out to my FABULOUS husband!!! I came home from a all day conference to a shinny clean floor( he scrubbed on his hands and knees), wiped down kitchen cabinets, and Cleaned and organized cupboards and pantry. Whew! I don't even think I could get that much done in one day!!!!!! Thanks Ashley LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH

SUNFLOWERS-- the story of my life.

I LOVE SUNFLOWERS!!!!!! I completely have an obsession for them without sunflowers why even have a garden..??.... I don't know. Why I really Love Sunflowers is simple, it doesn't matter what happens in you garden as long as you have 10 foot sunflowers everybody thinks you are this Wonderful, Marvelous Gardener--- Which I am really not a gardener at all, I just put things in the ground and hope something happens to it.... Kind of like my life, I just give it everything I've have got and then something marvelous happens.

So right now 2 quotes keep coming to my mind mind; 2 lessons we can learn from this:

1st -- FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT BABY!!!!

or for a CLASSIER approach:

Never bend your head. Always Hold It High. Look the world Straight in the Face. Keep your face to the sunshine and the shadows will all be behind you, It's what Sunflowers do!

Love you all ----- Megan

Tea Party!

This Morning I was making SASLA! (I will put the recipe up later! delish) but when I looked over to check on Kelli this is what I saw . . . . so cute! PUFFIN is the best dog ever! How many of your dogs would have a TEA PARTY with a 2 year old girl? . . . (I really don't think McKell gave her to much of a choice)

Just A Little Bit About.... ME!

1. I love the t.v. series "5 Ingredient Fix." I LOVE LOVE LOVE all her recipes. Almost as much as I LOVE to bake, cook, chop, anything in the Kitchen.

2. I think I could eat at JAMBA JUICE almost everyday.

3. I LOVE LOVE, Can't get enough of . . .. . SCHOOL SUPPLIES!! nothing make me happier than a new sharpened pencil, or new pen with a Crisp New Binder and Paper....Whew... I am getting Goose Bumps!

4. Out of all the movies that I own. . . ,who am I kidding, I could not tell you what the new releases are to save my life. Although a new Barbie movie came out last week and I think Tinkerbell rescue mission came out today. (GO ME..... Please don't tell anyone I know that)

5. There are 3 people that make me laugh everyday...ASHLEY, LOGAN and KELLI. We try to keep our windows shut for a reason. . . . .

6. My Favorite person ever is... Ashley! Of course! Kiss Kiss Hug Hug

7. Right now I am in a LOVE/HATE relationship with my TIME. I need more of it, but then I am sure I would just find more things I need to get done!

16. ASHELY is the most amazing person ever. He has enough humor and energy..and smarts for the both of us.

17. I LOVE having my hair brushed played with anything! I am currently teaching McKell how to "Do Hair" and make her practice on my as much as she will!!

18. My best friend's name is ...MOM!
