52 Blessings: Week 6

I'm grateful for HD's little friends. Although she is still kind of into playing by herself, slowing she is learning to play more and more with other kids. They are all so fun and take good care of her at playgroup - pushing her on the swing, helping her up the jungle gym and down the slide. It's so fun. Plus they can make her laugh - especially GB - which I love! And as an added bonus, I get to "play" with my friends while she plays with hers. What would we do without little friends?

52 Blessings: Week 5

Yesterday I ran a 5K that was set up to raise money for Stephanie Nielson's recovery. It was a really fun race with lots of kids and happy people! And for the first time, I actually took HD with me for a race. I loved having her with me and listening to excitement as people cheered us on.
As I ran I thought about how much of a blessing running is. It helps me stay in shape. It gets me outside (except when it's freezing cold). It allows me to spend time with family members when we run races. I get cool t-shirts. It's a good hour of time with HD. The reasons go on and on. I'm so grateful for running...and that it's a hobby that I really do enjoy.

52 Blessings: Week 4

My little brother, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Paris, France is my blessing this week. He turned 21 on Saturday so I've been thinking a lot about him. He is such a good example to me. I love reading his emails and letters and getting pictures. Only two months and he'll be home!

Fairies.

Bree from Scrap'it Designs just released the coolest kit. You can get it at ScrapMatters and soon at Snap and Scrap.
It really is beautiful and has so many possibilities.

This is the LO I did with this kit.
So much fun...and so many other ideas floating around.

52 Blessings: Week 3

With it being General Conference, all I could think about is how grateful I am for living prophets and for continued revelation. It is always so nice to listen to the prophet's counsel and to know that his words are the words of our Father in Heaven. I really love listening to President Monson speak. He is so kind and uplifting...and he tells the best stories!
