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

I love it! Great advice. And maybe you should leave more often and let Ash just go to town! :) lol.
I also love your sunflower post, and Kelli and Puffins Tea party! So cute!

"Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future…If you are still in the process of raising children be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled, will disappear all too soon, and that you will, to your surprise, miss them, profoundly."
— Thomas S. Monson

I think of this quote often in my life right now. Great thoughts! I'll keep those in mind now. Oh, and yes leave more often especially if your house gets cleaned. GO ASH!
