Simple Sweet moments from today.

"Enjoy the little things in life, 

for one day you'll look back 

and realise they were big things"

This quote came to my mind tonight, as I sat here looking over the photos of the day.

My heart is full with just a couple small sweet things, which are important to me. 

Today wasn't an exciting day, not much really happened but I am reminded, that I am one lucky lady to have such beautiful and adorable children (of course I am totally biased, but HEY If I'm not who will...)  :-)

So this morning, the kids both came into our bed before breaky and Carter got his hands on the ipad, we sat Lacey next to him and he shared it with his little sister. 

C'MON how cute it this... I especially love the little foot holding up the ipad because he only had one hand. lol

Lacey Seemed more interested in eating the bowl, that or she was SUPER hungry. lol

Carter Cracks me up, reading the junk mail while waiting for his breakfast. 

(Those that know me well, will agree that he is SO my kid! ha ha) 

 Lacey fresh and clean after a bath and then dinner time.. Probably not the best order to do it in. She loves to feed herself which doesn't always make it INSIDE the mouth.

Beautiful Images in my mind & a smile on my face, as I head off to bed.

Good night!!

Change your thinking

Somedays things just click.. things seem to make more sense & perhaps not the first time in your life, but at a time when you just needed it to stand out. 

Today is one of those days ...

Sometimes it just takes the right person, in the right moment, to remind us.

It's sooo true that if you surround yourself with good, uplifting people and do good, uplifting things, it can lift your mood, it can change the way you're feeling and even the way you think... (there's a saying, something like this!) 

Its also a great reminder, that generally we dont have bad days as such, but perhaps bad moments. And that is ok... As long as you can find a way to move past that moment and see the joy in the rest of the day. I guess what I am trying to say is, just change your thinking. 

I'm a visual person, so I enjoy seeing things written down, or explained via an object lesson :-)back when I was working in the office, I would have little post-it-notes all over my desk or printed quotes to help inspire and motivate me throughout the day/week. 
So I figured I would snag some cute quotes off the net and share with others who may be wondering/thinking the same things. 

RIGHT!... Have you ever had these thoughts or feelings?... 
Do you ever hold yourself back or put yourself down by using that terrible word 
'should'? 
My sister once taught me a lesson many years ago, that "Should" isn't something we need in our vocab because it makes us feel bad and gives us unrealistic expectations.. life is what what we make it, not what something "Should be" (if that makes sense??)



Just remember even if you do have a bad day, that tomorrow can be different. Often after those bad days we see good things we didnt see before, but were always there.  

We all know there are often things that happen which we have no control over, But we also know that what we CAN control is how we deal with what happens to us.. that is what builds our character.

 

So to recap my rantings of today, spend time with people and things that make you happy, turn your thinking around so you recognise a bad moment for what it is, and also find a little something you love or a fun 'project' to squeeze into your day or week. 
This will help you and those around you and those 'bad days' will get less and less. 
your bad moments will pass quicker and you will see that each day does infact bring many beautiful moments of joy 

I hope i've brought a smile to someone today.

Enjoy your day.
