If you like the simple things in life then this blog is for you! I believe the simpler things are the more importance they hold. My blog will have stories of my life and how I love to create and decorate.
My life is not fancy by any means. I live my life to the fullest I can.My family, friends and animals come first. I hope you will come along with me for my little journey through life.Primitive Memorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611870678596894195noreply@blogger.comBlogger47125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914193062592537933.post-11464922013911421462012-08-24T11:14:00.000-04:002012-08-24T11:14:05.456-04:00The Days of Summer Summer is quickly coming to an end and fall will be sneaking in before we know it! I am so excited for fall but kinda sad that the summer of 2012 will soon be just a memory.<br />
This summer we created some awesome memories that we will have with us for the rest of our lives. And like with everything all good things must come to an end so that more good times and memories can be made.<br />
All summer long we had fantastic weather. ALittle hot at times but heck thats what summers all about! The great weather allowed us to do so many out door activities. I really couldn't have asked for better summer weather.<br />
<br />
In some ways it feels like the summer just began but in other ways it feels like it's been here for a long time. I'm so grateful for all the great adventures and even the non-adventures my family and I have had this summer.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of our summer adventures.<br />

Primitive Memorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611870678596894195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914193062592537933.post-85982288349916311252012-01-13T10:45:00.000-05:002012-01-13T10:45:28.974-05:00Word of the yearA friend of mine recently introduced me to the word of the year. Instead of making New Years resolution you choose a word for the year. The word you choose will help guide you through the rest of the year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfrfpPbc767stgL1cYfaEszkEJaE5OsqDoBFuaTPiWBKpMC1q4ylp6f-mGS8DrfBpEpScXivJua8t4jsr8CaNCSnU5PBZzFDXG1ftu1wTzuddhHaHHPCNvpu4NN3XuQs2fgwi4Izxp9ZC/s1600/IMG_0365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfrfpPbc767stgL1cYfaEszkEJaE5OsqDoBFuaTPiWBKpMC1q4ylp6f-mGS8DrfBpEpScXivJua8t4jsr8CaNCSnU5PBZzFDXG1ftu1wTzuddhHaHHPCNvpu4NN3XuQs2fgwi4Izxp9ZC/s320/IMG_0365.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Words contain energy, images and meaning. When we hear a word it gets to our hearts and has more power behind it then a resolution does. <br />
<br />
When my friend first told me about this I thought it would be so simple to choose a word for the year, but it turned out to be much harder then I thought. <br />
<br />
After much thinking about what I wanted most out of the year to come I decided my word of the year would be "expansion". Of course I could have gone with happiness or joy or contentment but I wanted there to be more to it. I looked at the things I wanted to achieve this year and one word that came to mind was expansion, it seemed to fit perfectly. <br />
<br />
There are many parts of my life I wish to expand this year. One is my primitive craft business. Would like to sell my items to more shops around the country and sell more online as well. Along with this I'd like to expand my knowledge of primitive/colonial crafting by taking classes or finding people who have similar interest ,who I could learn from. <br />
<br />
Another area I'd like to expand would be my social circle. I'd love to meet new friends who have a love for crafting, primitives, and decorating.<br />
If I can expand myself and business in these areas it would allow me to achieve my larger goal, to have Primitive Memories be successful enough to able me to work at home and raise my family full time. <br />
It's a big goal but one I feel is reachable! It just might take a little time and patience!!<br />
And there's one more area I'd love to expand and that would be my family! Yup I said it! I'd loved to have another baby. My son is 2 and I think it's time for a little sibling for him.<br />
<br />
So as you can see I have some big dreams/goals for the year 2012 and beyond! I believe all things are possible and I have no doubt that if I work hard and think positive, all I set out to expand will come to reality. <br />
<br />
Hoping you all had a wonderful holiday season and have a bright and joyous New Year!!<br />

This weekend they had their annual Main Street at Christmas. The little village of Stockbridge closes down Main Street and recreates an image from one of Norman Rockwell's picture of the village at Christmas time. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The main street was lined with old fashion cars and trucks. The famous Red Lion Inn was deck out to the it's fullest with holiday cheer, Carolers were singing and Santa was there to greet children of all ages. It was a wonderful day! It really made it feel like Christmas time. <br />
It is such a charming little village. You really do feel like you are stepping back to a simple time.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was such a lovely weekend that we decided it would be the perfect time to go for a little ride up north. We started out at the pumpkin patch. I was having a fine time until a creepy slithering snake decided to make an appearance right in front of me! I hate snakes, especially the ones that unexpectedly appear out of no where. Thank goodness we had already found our perfect pumpkin before I saw the snake. Once I saw that snake I was done with the pumpkin patch experience!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After leaving the pumpkin patch we took a little ride on the back roads of the Adirondacks.On our little ride we came across my dream cabin! I just had to stop the car and take a picture, well actually my mom took the picture, not too bad for a novice! I can so see myself living there!<br />

And our last stop on our beautiful fall ride, was at my moms house. Here's Jackson with his best buddies, Timber and Sam. The dogs are always two steps behind him. It's so cute to watch the three of them together.<br />

He is almost 2 and I thought it's about time we took him apple picking. He loved every moment of it! He loved the hay ride, the apple picking and eating and of course he loved running around the orchard.<br />
<br />
It was a perfect apple picking day not too hot and not too cold. And the sky was a beautiful September blue. The day couldn't have been any better! <br />

After we picked all the apples we could carry we went home and baked some apple pie! Well I actually did the baking my husband decided it would be more fun to stack wood and my little guy decided a nap sounded better the helping his mama bake! Go figure.<br />

But I didn't mind at all that I was left to bake alone. I love baking apple pies. It remind me when my mom used to bake apple pies every fall. Nothing says fall like homemade apple pies.<br />

As much as I love summer I love fall even more! And today here in upstate New York it sure feels like fall is in the air. It's a beautiful sunny, blue sky, comfortable kind of day. Its warm, but not too warm and there's a lovely fresh breeze blowing and not a cloud in the sky.<br />
Days like today make me think of all the fun fall things I want to do this year. I get all gitty just thinking about it!<br />

On my fall to do list is:<br />
<br />
Go apple picking. I haven't been in years and now that my little guy can walk on his own I think it will be the perfect time to make a trip to the apple orchard.<br />
<br />
Once we have bushels of apples I plan to make lots of apple pies. As well as batches and batches of applesauce. Every year my grandma,cousin and I get together and have our traditional apple sauce making night. There is just something special about that applesauce when it's made with grandmas help! The best applesauce out there if I do say so myself!<br />

<br />
Another soon to be tradition on my fall to do list is the Walker Homestead Show in Brookfield, Massachusetts. Every September they have their fall show and this year will be the first of many fall trips I hope to make to the Homestead show. <a href="http://www.walkerhomestead.com/">http://www.walkerhomestead.com/</a><br />

A week after the Walker Show I will be heading to Warrensburg, New York for the largest garage sale. <a href="http://www.warrensburggaragesale.com/">http://www.warrensburggaragesale.com/</a> . My mom lives near there so we will stay at her house. Which is great! Since after a long day of walking and shopping, it'll be nice not to have to go too far to crash!<br />

<br />
I also can't wait to start decorating for autumn. My house needs a little warming up. During the summer months I like to keep my decor light and summery. Come fall tho, I am so ready to darken things up and make the house warm and cozy!<br />
<br />
I love making the house warm and cozy, and what better way to do that then with some good hearty home cooked meals. I love when the nights are getting darker, the air is getting chillier and there's a warm home cooked meal waiting on the table. Now if that doesn't say warm and cozy, I don't know what does!<br />

<br />
There are so many things to do in the fall. Some things I haven't mentioned yet are picking out mums at the local farm stand, going to the pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect pumpkin, taking a nice fall drive through the back roads, buying cider donuts, raking leaves ( or more like watching the husband rake them!) , taking a fall walk in the woods, my list could go on and on. <br />
<br />
I know fall will be here soon. It is such a short season so I plan to savior every moment of it!<br />
<br />

A little town called Willsboro. It is located in the Adirondacks and is simply a little piece of heaven on earth! My family has a camp up there and it has been in our family for decades.<br />
<br />
My grandfather was borned and raised in Willsboro and it's where him and my grandmother met and fell in love. Our family has been heading up north to Willsboro ever since then! We have many good memories of being up north. <br />
<br />
Soon as you get off the highway and make a right turn it's as if you are going back in time. Nothing seems to change. There are still miles and miles of fields, barns, cows and mountians. Life seems to move at a slower pace. People are kinder and life is filled with what is really important. Family, friends and living life!<br />
<br />
My dream has always been to live somewhere by a lake, surrounded by mountains and fresh air, but I never knew excactly where my dream place was. Don't know why it took me so long to discover it but while we were heading back home it hit me! Willsboro, New York is where my dream place is! That is where I belong. That is the place I want to build my dream life!<br />
<br />
Now of course that doesn't mean I'll be packing my bags and heading up there tonight, as much as I'd like too, it's just not quiet my time yet. But I am excited to think that one day I will have my lovely little cabin in the mountians, by the lake in sweet sweet Willsboro!<br />
<br />
Below are a few pictures I took while we were up north. The pictures don't even come close to showing the beauty of the mountains! It was a perfect summer day!<br />

So every once in a while I plan a day just for me! I take the day off from work, send my little guy to my Aunts, send the husband to work and I stay home and do whatever I want too! This past week I had a day just like that! I had my"simple day".<br />
<br />
It is funny how you come to cherish days like these. Before I was a mom I had simple days all the time. Weekends and nights were my own. I didn't have to share them with anyone, if I choose not too.<br />
<br />
But of course having a child changed all that. I'll admit it took some adjusting too but now I don't think I'd have it any other way. My days are now filled with more love and enjoyment then ever before! <br />
<br />
When I do get time for myself it's even more special. I appreciate it so much more then I did before. I know that it won't last for long. So nowadays I truly see the beauty in every minute I have to myself.<br />
<br />
On my recent "simple day" I made sure to make the most of it! I got up early and got my day started. I was able to finish up many of my little creations that have been patiently waiting for me . It was such a great feeling to finally get these finished! The day was so productive. Of course I did make sure I threw in a little TV couch time. And it was simply wonderful! <br />
<br />

I believe that all of us need to take a simple day every once in a while. A day where we take care of ourselves and give us "our" time.<br />
We are so busy giving our time to everyone else that I think we, especially us wives and mothers, forget to give time to ourselves.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed every moment of my simple day! And hope that you all get to take a day for yourselves soon.<br />

So far this summer we have had fantastic weather. The days are hot and the nights are too! I know many don't like this hot weather but I just love it! After all the snow we had this winter I am loving this hot summer weather.<br />
<br />
This past week we took our trip to Cape Cod and had a great time. The weather was perfect .We got to relax and play at the beach everyday. <br />
<br />
Although this year was a bit busier then the years past. Jackson is almost 2 and is very active! So we spent most of our vacation chasing after him. As tiring as it was, it was great to be able to spend so much quality time together with him. He truly amazes me everyday! He loved the sea gulls and the boats on the ocean. It was so much fun seeing the beach thru his eyes.<br />
<br />
Here's a few pictures from our trip.<br />

I have been wanting to attending this show ever since their first one. I have been to the Walker Homestead in the past but never for one of their shows. <br />
<br />
I originally had other plans for that day, but thanks to my bestest friend Katie, who is understanding of my addition to anything primitive, let me reschedule our plans together! So thanks to her and thanks to my mom who was willing to go with me (although it didn't take much to convince my mom) I was able to attending this weekends show! And I am so happy I did!<br />
<br />
I was so excited to get the chance to meet all the wonder primitive vendors and bloggers that I have followed on the web . <br />
<br />
I knew Eva Ramsey from Pine Patch Primitives (she has the most wonderful candles <a href="http://www.pinepatchprimitives.com/">http://www.pinepatchprimitives.com/</a>), Linda Rudman from Behind My Red Door <a href="http://www.behindmyreddoor.com/">http://www.behindmyreddoor.com/</a> and A Primitive Place Magazine <a href="http://aprimitiveplacemagazine.blogspot.com/">http://aprimitiveplacemagazine.blogspot.com/</a>, Hometown Antiques <a href="http://www.hometownantiqueswb.com/">http://www.hometownantiqueswb.com/</a>, and Winterberry Primitives would all be there! So many of my favorite bloggers and vendors oh I could barely contain my excitement!!<br />
<br />
We got there around 10:30 and just didn't know where to begin. I knew I should look around before I bought anything, but it was just so hard ! But first things first, I did come with a mission, other then to meet my online idols, I was on a mission to get my beeskep house.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago online I came across a beeskep house that was made by Dirk Dishop <a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/earlyhomesteadwoodshop">http://www.picturetrail.com/earlyhomesteadwoodshop</a>. I just LOVED it and knew I had to have it. So I emailed Dirk and he said he could ship it but he would be coming to the Walker Homestead Show and if I was going would put one aside for me. So knowing I'd be coming I send yes put it aside for me! <br />
<br />
When we got to the show the first thing I wanted to do was go and get my beeskep house. Well I gotthe house and I got a beeskep and I got one of his pumpkins as well. These are the neatest things. They are made of cement or something like it and shaped into beeskeps and pumpkins. I am so glad he set the bee house aside for me because they were selling like crazy along with everything else he had. <br />
<br />
And I am thrilled that he'll be back in the Fall with more pumpkins. My one lonely pumpkin needs a few friends!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">After my first purchases we headed to the other booths. The vendors were all so friendly and lovely. It was such a great atmosphere. Everyone seemed to really be enjoying themselves. And how couldn't you? The sun was shining and the Walker Homestead is set in such a beautiful, peaceful place. Surrounded by woods and hills. It's simply gorgeous!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">If I had to pick the highlights from the day it would be meeting Eva Ramsey from Pine Patch Primitives and Linda Rudman from Behind My Red Door and APP . Both ladies were sweet as pie! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I will say Eva is such a humbled and sweet lady. There was a lady in front of me buying candles and was saying how she thought Eva's candles were so well priced and Eva's response was that she just wants other people to enjoy them as much as she does. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Now I know alot of people might say the same thing but you could really tell the Eva meant it. I was so impressed by her. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">The other highlight of the day was meeting Linda Rudman .I have followed her blog for years and have always admired her decorating style. When I read that she was going to be at the show I knew I had to meet her in person. When I spotted her I just had to go up and say hi! And she was just what I expected , friendly and open to chit chatting a bit. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a great day! And I so enjoyed spending the day with my mom. She had a great time too. But I think her highlights of the day were the sheep and the goats and the chickens!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5MeyWpQzyg3o-S7qpJ1M7s7sVflNUBCplCbeTlVzUhymXpStiYATN6RPu2tZ8IWmDALgWcv85-3CiRL3UWkBFeYkEBKb_03ICE7omRXQhioi6QMwNULflnag_Dobim9Xqh00yp8BOTvW/s1600/IMG_1555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5MeyWpQzyg3o-S7qpJ1M7s7sVflNUBCplCbeTlVzUhymXpStiYATN6RPu2tZ8IWmDALgWcv85-3CiRL3UWkBFeYkEBKb_03ICE7omRXQhioi6QMwNULflnag_Dobim9Xqh00yp8BOTvW/s320/IMG_1555.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It was, in my opinion, the best kind of weather.<br />
It was hot, sunny and there was a wonderful breeze. <br />
We ended up stayingclose to home for the holiday. There was lots to do around the house and what better time to do it then a long weekend!<br />

In between having fun with Jackson, I was able to get a little crafting done as well. I know we are just entering the summer but fall will be here before I know it! And I have orders and shows to get ready for. This weekend I started sewing, stuffing and staining a few Pumpkin men, Jolly Olde Fall guys and of course I made up a bunch of pumpkins!! <br />
I was able to sit outside and work on all these. The weather was just perfect for outside crafting!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just love a long weekend! I feel like I actually got a lot accomplished and still managed to enjoy the weekend.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Summer time! Well unofficially summer time!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We are all getting rain, rain and more rain! The last nice day we had was 6 days ago. It has been raining for six days straight and looking at the long distance forecast it looks like we are in for more of the same.<br />
<br />
I love a rainy day every now and then but this weather is begin to bring me down! I am trying my best to stay positive and make the most of it. It is getting a bit difficult to keep a positive attitude! Our days of nice weather in the Northeast are short lived to begin with so when our precious days of sun and warmth, are rained on it causes me to get a little cranky! <br />
<br />
I have so many things I want to do outside. I was lucky enough to plant and weed my gardens a couple of weeks ago but they desperately need my attention again! And I can't wait to sit outside and enjoy the sun.<br />
<br />
I know that there is one guarantee about the weather is that we have NO control over it! I guess the sooner I accept that the sooner I can stop letting the weather affect my moods! <br />
<br />
I've decided that since I can not control the weather that I now need to stop complaining and look on the positive side. I am now going to try and focus on all the things that I like about rainy days. <br />
<br />
<ul><li>I like that I don't have to get dressed. I can stay in my PJ's all day if I want too.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>I enjoy a rainy day because it gives me a chance to clean my house. Now if it was nice outside I'd be out there working and the house cleaning would not get done!</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>It's the perfect excuse to be lazy! </li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>It let's me catch up on all the shows I DVR.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>I have lots of time to look at old magazine's. I always want to just sit down and read them and what better time then when it's a cold and rainy day.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Baking. Being inside on a rainy day makes me want to bake<em> and</em> eat! </li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>A rainy day lets me make a good home cooked meal and I just love how it makes the house smell and feel all warm and cozy.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Crafts! Yes, there is no better excuse to craft then a rainy day!</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Believe it or not rain often puts me in a Christmas mood and I give myself permission to listen to a little Christmas music or pop in a Christmas movie! Hey why not?!</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>I love burning candles on anyday but especially on a rainy one!</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>If I finally do decide to get out of my PJ's on a rainy day, I love to go out and do some Prim shopping.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>And of course once I get back from shopping I love tweaking and finding homes for my new goodies! </li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Another fun thing to do on a rainy day is to go for a walk in the woods. Why not get out and enjoy the rain. It's always fun to dance in the rain! </li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Oh and how could I forget? What better thing to do then to hop on the internet and read all the blogs you never get a chance to read! </li>
</ul><br />
I guess a rainy day or month isn't all that bad. You just have to learn to make the best of it. And knowing that this rainy season will soon pass and we will be onto another season does helps a bit.<br />
Before long I am sure we will all be talking about heatwaves and droughts! Okay maybe not the drought part but the heat and humidity I am sure will be coming our way this summer.<br />
<br />
So for all you water logged friends out there. Hang in there. This too shall pass!<br />

<br />
Last Friday my grandmother and I went to our favorite garden center and loaded up with flowers. I love going to this particular garden place because they always have a great selections of perennials, you can't beat their prices and it's family owned!<br />
<br />
I decided this year that my garden needed more tall flowers so I decided to get a few Hollyhocks, Delphiniums, and Foxgloves to start.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I have one garden that I just started last year. I removed a bunch of bushes in this one area and opened it up. This allowed me to plant a lot more flowers and they now get more sun because the bushes are gone. Here's a picture of this garden. <br />
This is the area where I thought the taller flowers would look nice.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the other garden. It doesn't look like much now but soon it will be bright and full with Black Eyed Susan's, Daisies, Hollyhocks, Salvia, Golden Rod and a few other happy little flowers! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I now feel like I can sit back and relax a bit more. Now that the plants are planted and the mulch is down! I know I won't be sitting for long because now that the plants are in, they'll soon need watering every night and the weeds will need pulling! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And of course I'm sure I won't be able to go long without planting a few more flowers here and there! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ahh.....I just love gardening season! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's always something to do!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So my gardens aren't the only things that have gotten my attention these last few weeks. I have also redone our sitting porch. I didn't do too much to it. I did recover the cushions and rearrange some furniture. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My next project for this room is to pull up the lovely green turf rug and paint the floor. But I am thinking that project just might have to wait till next year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another project I have been working on is our guest bedroom. It's been a work in progress for about 9 months now! My husband started working on it back in the fall. He put new windows in. Painted it, then added new trim. So after patiently (or maybe not so patiently) waiting I finally got to get in there and decorate! The best part of a redo if you ask me!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wasn't too sure about painting the walls this color but I am so glad I went for it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the color, it's called Pine Needle by Valspar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I came across this a while back. It was originally from A Walton's Christmas Album 1974. I know it's a Christmas wish but I believe we could all use a reminder that it's the simple things in life that make life worth living. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lyrics by Geer, Will - Grandpa Walton</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
What is Christmas? It is a time when some of your dreams come true. Every year it roles around and takes you by surprise some of the time, especially when you’re as close to a 100 years old as I am. You think...it Can’t be time for another one, but there it is with all it’s hope and joy and the promise of the wishes granted. I bet you wonder what I wish for. What could an old man wish for? <br />
<br />
Maybe you think I would wish to be young again. I don’t want that. Being young is a painful thing. Being young and in love to boot, which most young people are, is even more agony. I’ll tell you what I wish. I’d wish for the power to return some of the love that’s been given me. I’d wish the time and place for all that giving could be commemorated like the heart I carved on the tree around your Grandmother’s and my initials. I wish too for more days to my life. Time...time to give to children some of the beauty of this Earth that has been revealed to me. A drop of water is a wondrous thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A spade full of earth is a kingdom in itself. A cloud is worth watching as it passes from one horizon to another. A bird building its nest is as wondrous as men building the Pyramid, and any green thing that grows is proof that God exists. It all comes into focus at Christmas. It is a tender time. We grow cautious because we open ourselves to love. <br />
<br />
We exchange gifts, but what those presents really say is "I love you." It makes some folks uncomfortable to say or hear these words. Maybe it’s because they’ve never learned the secret of the given heart. There are more takers than givers in the world. People, communities even countries spending their time grubbing and rooting for the goods of this earth like pigs after acorns in the Fall of the year. This is a country with a given heart and I pray it will always be so. <br />
<br />
It’s a good country and it’s part of our strength, something that we brought with us as pioneers that we can share with the fellow who is down on his luck, with those who suffered calamities: with the loss of their homes or land or their hope. <br />
<br />
This is a family with a giving heart. You children may squabble and bicker among yourselves but you’ve been taught to love and to give, and that’s the greatest present your Momma and Daddy could have given you. So take pleasure in the trappings of Christmas. Be merry like the songs say. Revel in the tinsel and the glitter and the sparkle and sing the old songs for all the joy that’s in them and the memories they bring back. But to touch the real Christmas, to feel the true spirit of the season, look to your own heart and find all the secret treasures that they’re there to give. There is one wish that I make every year. I never said it aloud before, but I’ll tell it to you now. <br />
<br />
I wish for all the seasons I have known, endlessly to come and go; the dogwood Spring, the watermelon Summer, the russet and gold of Autumn. I wish for Christmas to come again and for each of us to be here again next year at this time...together, safe, warm and loved as we are at this moment.<br />

I don't know why but the weather always seems to affect my mood. On a bright sunny day I always seem to have a brighter attitude. Not much bothers me, but on a cold rainy day my mood isn't very bright. <br />
<br />
Today is one of those not so bright days. To try and get me out of my less then bright mood I decided to think about what puts a smile on my face and makes me happy!<br />
<br />
I think we all need to remind ourselves what makes us happy! Things are tough out in the world and we need all the happiness we can get. <br />
<br />
So here is my list of things that make me smile.<br />
<br />
First thing that comes to mind is my little boy's silly face. No matter what type of day I am having he always makes it a good one!<br />

I so enjoy decorating and the change of season gives me all the more reason to rearrange and bring out different decor.<br />
<br />
Now that it's spring I have brought out my flowers, bird houses, beeskeps and a few other springy things. It's amazing how just a few little new touches can change a room.<br />
<br />
Over the years my taste have certainly changed. I used to think if I had a large collection of something the better it looked. Basically I thought the clutter look looked good! <br />
<br />
But over the years I have changed over to less is more. I now try and keep things as uncluttered and simple as I can.<br />
Which isn't always easy when you have an 18 month old who's toys seem to multiply overnight!<br />
<br />
From reading blogs and magazines I have pick up a few hints on how to keep your house looking simple, yet still keep it warm and inviting. Don't know what I would do without blogs or magazines to learn from!<br />
<br />
Having a simply decorated house just allows me breath better! I feel calm and relaxed when I am in my home. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My house is a work in progress and I believe it always will be! My taste may change along the way but I do know one thing that will always stay the same, and that is my house will always be warm, cozy and inviting. A house that are all those things will always be a home. And I always want my house to be a home.<br />
<br />
So now that I got the inside of my house looking and feeling like spring, I am so ready for the outside to look and feel like spring!!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of my spring time decor. Hope you enjoy them!!<br />

A to do list that is, but this to do list of mine is a fun one. It's the things that I want to do and look forward to doing someday. <br />
<br />
I guess some would call it a "Bucket List". A list of things to do before we kick the bucket! I sure hope I get to do these well before I kick the bucket!<br />
<br />
Nothing on my list is extravagant or even that exciting. It's all the things I would love to accomplish someday.So here it is. My to do list. In no particular order.<br />
<br />
#1 Take a trip to thru the Blue Ridge Parkway. <br />
<img height="480" id="il_fi" src="http://www.americandrivingvacations.com/images/blueridgeparkway4.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Along the way stopping by to visit Walton's Mountain Museum in Schuyler Virginia. After all the Walton's are one of my favorite shows! <a href="http://www.waltonmuseum.org/">http://www.waltonmuseum.org/</a><br />
<img height="284" id="il_fi" src="http://timstvshowcase.com/waltons2.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="362" /><br />
<br />
#2 Travel the back roads of New England in the Fall. I'd start in Massachusetts, head up into Maine. Stop at Arcadia National Park (been there once and would love to go back!). <br />
Come back down thru Maine into New Hampshire and head to Vermont. <br />
I'd probably need the whole Fall season to do this trip! I would want to hit all the country/primitive shops, stay at cozy little inns and eat at all the wonderful restaurants along the way.<br />
<br />
#3 Go to the Christmas by the Sea in Ogunquit Maine.<br />
<img height="333" id="il_fi" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/6/5/6/9/ar119621401896564.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="500" /><br />
<br />
#4 Can my own veggies and make jams. Always wanted to can but never seem to find the time !!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="507" id="il_fi" src="http://justinsomnia.org/images/homemade-strawberry-jam.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="380" /><br />
<br />
<br />
#5 Spend a whole weekend in bed watching nothing but good movies!<br />
<br />
#6 Build a cabin in the woods.<br />
<img alt="Kuhns Bros. Log Homes Living Room" border="0" height="623" src="http://www.loghome.com/2007/images/Articles/Kuhns-Exterior.jpg" title="Kuhns Bros. Log Homes Living Room" width="559" /><br />
<br />
#7 Open a little country/primitive shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
#8 Learn how to make wood furniture. Like farmhouse tables, shelves, cupboards, birdhouses........<br />
(This one might just take me my whole life!)<br />
<br />
#9 Grow a vegetable garden with lots and lots of pumpkins. Tried many times to grow pumpkins and have only had one very tiny one ever make it. <img height="452" id="il_fi" src="http://blog.desibaytan.com/wp-content/uploads/calpoly_pumpkins/calpoly_pumpkin_patch-1.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="678" /><br />
<br />
<br />
#10 Learn how to draw (not sure if this is possible since I do believe you are born with this talent, but what the heck!)<br />
<br />
<br />
Well that's it for now. Hope I didn't bore you all! <br />
Thanks for stopping by. Would love to hear whats on you "to do list".<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

Now that we are at the beginning of new season I decided to start it off with a post about what I most like about Spring.<br />
<br />
I have to admit Spring isn't my most favorite season. I'd just assume skip over it and go directly to summer. Since that's not really an option I have decided to find things about spring that I do enjoy. <br />
<br />
I truly enjoy seeing the Spring birds coming back to my bird feeder. I have seen a few finches,sparrows and of course some little robbins around the feeder.<br />
<img height="333" id="il_fi" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/64/157468404_fac23cc6b2.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="500" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I am thrilled that since Spring has arrived I can now see my grass. Although it be brown grass it is still grass! <br />
<br />
I love seeing the buds on the trees. This gives me great hope that soon those little buds will be beautiful flowers and leaves .<br />
<br />
I like that I can now take my little boy out for walks and I don't have to put him in a snowsuit! <br />
<br />
I love that on a sunny spring day I can open my windows and let a little fresh air in! Even if the temps are only in the 30's. That doesn't matter because it's Spring and you are suppose to be able to open your windows!<br />
<br />
I also enjoy seeing some of my early Spring flowers popping up. Like my little pansy that held on all winter and decided to bloom once more. I know that many others are not far behind!<br />
<br />
<img height="447" id="il_fi" src="http://www.gardensablaze.com/PansyYellow.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="487" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, I guess I do like Spring time. I am looking at Spring as the start of something new. It's the time to anticipate all thats ahead. The next few weeks I hope to see Spring appear even stronger. Soon that brown grass will turn green. Those buds on the trees will soon be blooming and the little spots of greens will be turning into beautiful flowers!<br />
Ahhh...... can almost smell them now!<br />

Happy Spring!<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This past Saturday my mom, grandmother and I took a little trip over to Massachusetts. From being on facebook and from reading blogs I have discovered that there are many primitive shops in Massachusetts! So i decided it was time to make a special trip out there and hit as many of these shops as we could. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our first stop was to the Rusty Roosta <a href="http://www.therustyroosta.com/">http://www.therustyroosta.com/</a> . Located in West Brookfield, MA .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We got there a little early. The shop hadn't yet open but we didn't mind. We sat in the car and admired their beautiful primitive house and shop. What I would have given to take a peek into their house! The outside of the house was right out of a magazine! I can only imagine what it looked like inside. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMh0RrzcsaIUrV2YrzoqTrNboyURA1sOw2cAhGpRzuakHnG-RRJDxByzIdhVpZUNXmBaJCE-j4lSTNOQdQ0dnnX1Zcq_SVOZxAz92H-S-FZM4XQ6eRFt66u8oM-D62SwA5i7Q9LetwgR6/s1600/IMG_0729.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMh0RrzcsaIUrV2YrzoqTrNboyURA1sOw2cAhGpRzuakHnG-RRJDxByzIdhVpZUNXmBaJCE-j4lSTNOQdQ0dnnX1Zcq_SVOZxAz92H-S-FZM4XQ6eRFt66u8oM-D62SwA5i7Q9LetwgR6/s320/IMG_0729.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsVKxfrAf6M4mP9_wKkm6HX5GFOMWUhDfnVSVcGCm_RqLSryn20VFaUumZWWZqArsiiAKYjZeKdNoswuPkgdT4ZlpniJOUUJUGARCVxo7px0OV8DlAN5eYnhTVBbU9Tk0Lw3CFz1fSOzlC/s1600/IMG_0730.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsVKxfrAf6M4mP9_wKkm6HX5GFOMWUhDfnVSVcGCm_RqLSryn20VFaUumZWWZqArsiiAKYjZeKdNoswuPkgdT4ZlpniJOUUJUGARCVxo7px0OV8DlAN5eYnhTVBbU9Tk0Lw3CFz1fSOzlC/s320/IMG_0730.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After waiting a few minutes in the car the shop owner came and opened up! And off we went. Before we were even all the way in the shop we were stopped by a large display of yummy smelling candles! My mom scooped a bunch up within seconds! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The rest of the store was perfectly prim. There was a wood stove going, period music playing and lots and lots of fantastic prims!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So needless to say I didn't walk out empty handed. I found this mustard colored pillow, along with a jar of fragrance oil and a bag full or dried orange slices. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1u70KH-fBnbzLNsSxHBjFPHWoE-8wtkE7glEPY6BCsbDbHQcHJXXGDApezTIieX8lcpIvJwC9vkg56gv5P5NUmW7AweOnaa14RPoe9Pt4tPb0IywbVycUtma6vKLZE7Wp7hDkOIZdaAb/s1600/IMG_0802.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1u70KH-fBnbzLNsSxHBjFPHWoE-8wtkE7glEPY6BCsbDbHQcHJXXGDApezTIieX8lcpIvJwC9vkg56gv5P5NUmW7AweOnaa14RPoe9Pt4tPb0IywbVycUtma6vKLZE7Wp7hDkOIZdaAb/s320/IMG_0802.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I could have bought a lot more but since this was our first stop I didn't dare go overboard!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had been to the Walker Homestead about 2 years ago and ever since have been wanting to go back. This visit was even better then the first one. They had new rooms open and they were just filled with wonderful primitive/ colonial pieces.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They also carry beautiful hand dyed wool and primitive fabrics. A little piece of heaven for this crafter!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was thrilled when I spotted a quilt crane. I have been wanted one for a while now and was thrilled to finally find the perfect one! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now I didn't ask to take these pictures so I sure hope the owners didn't mind. They seemed very friendly so I am hoping they wouldn't mind me showing some of these to you all!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In June and September they hold a Primitive Show so I am hoping to get back there for one of these shows. I can only imagine how much fun that would be! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After we left the Walker Homestead we headed to Spencer, MA. There we stopped at Primitive Thymes. <a href="http://www.primitivethymes.com/">http://www.primitivethymes.com/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had found this shop and the owner on facebook. From the pictures I saw I just knew it was going to be a great place! And I was not disappointed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The shop was wonderful! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Karen and her husband Rich were the most welcoming shop owners I think I have ever met!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> From the moment we walked in the door until the minute we left they were nothing but pleasant, friendly and full of great advice. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think I could have talked to them for hours. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They even gave us a tour of the house, which is attached to the shop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Their house left me speechless! It was amazing! They truly have a talent for decorating. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once I came down from the excitement of my visit at Primitive Thymes we headed to Strubridge. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once in Strubridge we hit another one of my favorite shop Village Primitives.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I love this shop because she carries one of my favorite lines of candles, 1803 Candles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bought a few candles and a little dish towel.

</div>Primitive Memorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611870678596894195noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914193062592537933.post-9831176081299954752011-02-23T14:10:00.000-05:002011-02-23T14:10:35.073-05:00A life without dreams....... is like a garden without flowers. How true how true! During these long days of winter, I have had many moments where I start to dream about the things I want to do in my life. <br />
<br />
I dream about a little primitive shop I would like to open which will sit on large piece of property in the woods, where I plan to build my dream two story log cabin . And where I will have a large garden of flowers and vegetables. I'll be able to take a stroll down a dirt road or go for a hike. <br />
<br />
I also dream that I can lounge around in the lake that will be just down the road from my cabin. And also where I can get up in the morning sit on my front porch and ponder about the day ahead. Then once I am done pondering I can go to work on my primitive creations for as long as I want too! <br />
<br />
Oh how fun it is to dream!! <br />
<br />
I know that someday this will all come true, well most of it at least! The lounging in the lake thing might be too much to ask for! But the rest of it I know that if I work hard at it and am able to stay out of my own way it will happen. <br />
<br />
I think many times we become our worst enemies. The optimistic side of me sees the possibilities that this could happen, then pessimistic side sees all the reason's why it can't happen. Now if I could just get the two to see eye to eye! <br />
<br />
I realize that at this point in my life that this is just a dream. My priority right now is my family. I am a mother of a 1 year old so he is my number one priority and that means getting up everyday and going to work. As much as I'd like to be a stay at home mom and live in my cabin it's just no realistic at this time (see the pessimistic side is coming out again!!). As many of us I have a mortgage, car, food and other bills that need to be paid. And sadly today that means that most families need two incomes to get by. So for now I know this is what I need to do and where I need to be. <br />
<br />
But this doesn't stop me from dreaming and keeping that alive. I see it so vividly that I know that it's bound to come true. In time with a little patience and determination I will have my cabin in the woods, my little prim shop and time to enjoy it all! <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> If you don't know where you are going, </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">then how will you get there?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">VISUALISE!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Make pictures in your mind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">See the destination.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Imagine your arrival.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dream in perfect detail.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">See yourself the way you want to be when you arrive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">See yourself arriving.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Make yourself a road map and study it every day </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">until you know the way and the destination by heart.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's already coming down pretty good here and it's only expected to get worse. I think we will be having a snow day tomorrow!! The timing couldn't be better. This past weekend I was away and wasn't able to do my normal weekend chores. <br />
So if we have tomorrow off I'll have a chance to get all those little things done! <br />
<br />
Speaking of this past weekend, I had a chance to escape with a good friend to New Hampshire. She has a lovely little cottage by the beach. We weren't sure what to expect when we arrived. New Hampshire had been hit by all those winter storms we had. <br />
We didn't know how much snow would be there. <br />
<br />
Well we arrived to be greeting with a mountain of snow right outside of her cottage! Good think we packed shovels because we had to shovel a path to get to the front door! As much work as it was we still managed to have laugh our way through it!<br />

Once we got the shoveling done we could really begin our girls weekend! Saturday morning we headed up to Maine. Took the coast route all the way to Kennebunkport. It was a lovely day for a drive. The sun was out for a bit and it was bitter cold. I think it even got above freezing!<br />
<br />
My favorite stop along the way was Nubble Light House. It was breath taken! It looked just like a postcard. I could have stayed there and looked at it all day long.<br />

After our long day of driving we treated ourselves to dinner at the "Old Salt" <a href="http://www.oldsaltnh.com/Freeform.aspx?name=TOSHome">http://www.oldsaltnh.com/Freeform.aspx?name=TOSHome</a> . We had a wonderful meal! I think I ate enough to last me a week. It was so good I just couldn't stop eating. The atmosphere is as good as the food is too! We sat by the window and the snow was gently falling. It was just perfect! Don't tell my husband he might get jealous that I had a "romantic" dinner without him!!<br />
<br />
This weekend was just what I needed. I love winter but I think I was starting to get a little cabin fever. By going away it gave me a chance to miss being home. I think we all need a little break from our day to day routines.<br />
Even though I felt a little guilty leaving my husband and baby behind it did me a world of good! I believe it makes me a better mom and wife when I am able to get away. I come back ready to face the world again! It feels so good to feel refreshed and full of energy again!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by! <br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

<br />
Especially after we have a had a big snow fall or two. <br />
These are some of the pictures I took on my walk the other day. <br />
<br />
It was so peaceful and everything was so bright and snowy. It was a perfect day for a winters walk.<br />

Another reason I love winter is that it is a perfect time for crafting! When the snow is falling and the winds are blowing, what better place to be then cozy inside, in front of your sewing machine with a nice hot cup of chocolate! <br />
<br />
Theres no doubt about winter puts me in the crafting mood. <br />
<br />
<br />
Believe it or not I am still working on Christmas goodies as well. Even tho the holidays are over with, I can't help but long for them to come around again. <br />
<br />
Yes, I do believe it's an illness but my husband and I have learned to deal with it! Well actually my husband still thinks I'm crazy but he still loves me anyways!!<br />
<br />
<br />
So when I start to miss Christmas I start crafting goodies for next Christmas! Hey whatever works right?!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my non Christmas items I've been working on. <br />

One of my favorite quotes is by Edith Sitwell <br />
<br />
<br />
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. <br />
<br />
How true that is. <br />

One of my favorite things to do in the winter is to take a night walk while it is snowing. So the other night when we were having a snow storm, I got my Sadie girl and went out for our nightly walk. Everything was covered in white. <br />
<br />
There wasn't a sound to be heard except the sound of my boots crushing in the snow. As I was enjoying the quietness and beauty of it all I began thinking, this is life! This is the way life should be. Simple,peaceful and magical. <br />
On that walk that night I decided that I need to start living more for the present then the past or the future. Quite often I find myself thinking of the past or thinking about what tomorrow or next week or even what next year will bring.<br />
<br />
It's easy to relive our memories of the past, or to think of our futures, but why is it so hard to live in the very moment? So I have challenged myself to live in the now, the present and in the moment!! <br />
I am going to try to enjoy each and every minute of my days and find the little wonders hidden in them.<br />
<br />
For me I know this won't be an easy thing to do but I feel the need to do this. <br />
<br />
My life has changed over the past year, for the better, but it has also become much more busier. I find myself struggling to find the balance that I once had in my life.<br />
I believe by focusing on the now, I will once again find my balance.<br />
Thank you for stopping by and reading about my winters thought. Throughout the winter I plan to have a thought or two to post.<br />
It will just be things that I have on my mind. Winter seems to be a time where many of us have a chance to slow down and ponder our thoughts.<br />
<br />
Here are a few quotes I found that are helping me on my journey to the present!! Hope you enjoy them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present -- which seldom happens to us.<br />
<br />
<br />
-- Jean de la Bruyère<br />
<br />
<br />
Forever is composed of nows. <br />
<br />
<br />
-- Emily Dickinson<br />
<br />
<br />
Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.<br />
<br />
<br />
-- Leo Buscaglia<br />
<br />
<br />
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized. <br />
<br />
<br />
-- Leo Buscaglia<br />
<br />
<br />
Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.<br />
<br />
<br />
-- Oprah Winfrey<br />
<br />
<br />
The more I give myself permission to live in the moment and enjoy it without feeling guilty or judgmental about any other time, the better I feel about the quality of my work.<br />
<br />
<br />
-- Wayne Dyer<br />
<br />
To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy... is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.”<br />
<br />
--Ralph Waldo Trine<br />
<br />
<br />
Until the next time,<br />

<br />
When I was a kid I always was told not to wish to grow up so fast because the older you got the quicker the years went by! I didn't believe that back then but I sure do now. <br />
<br />
This is always a bittersweet time of year for me. On one hand I am excited about the new year that's ahead, but then on the other hand I always sad to see the old year end. Especially the anticipation of the holiday season. I love the anticipation of getting ready for Christmas.<br />
It warms my heart to think about it. I feel that I wait all year for fall and then the holidays and in a flash it's over with. <br />
<br />
So I try not to dwell on it too much. I know I will get back into the swing of normal everyday life. It might take a few weeks or so but I know I'll get there I always do!<br />
<br />
Since I haven't posted in awhile I thought I would show you some pictures of the things I've been up to while I was away from blogging.<br />
