It's cold outside.....

Well this has definitely been a very cold Winter!! We have hit records here for 22 days straight! It is alot colder compared to last Winter. They are calling for snow tonight. I love the snow, it's nice to cuddle up inside by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and the family and watch a movie. I don't like to get out an drive it the snow though, my husband does all the driving in this kind of weather. This southern girl doesn't do that! LOL I did all the errands earlier today so I wouldn't have to go out. Well I am calling it a night. Stay warm and God Bless!! ;)

Planning to organize.......

A New Year, a new start. I am planning on doing alot of organizing this year and get things in place around the house. I have made this plan in the past and I haven't accomplished it as of yet. I have started with a to do list for each room in the house now I just have to get started! Alot of times this is easier said then done. LOL Organization turns pilers into filers and helps us to put things away naturally and easily everything has a place. We have to train our minds to organize. That is the first place to start before tackling the organizing adventure! Getting organized is about unstuffing your life, clearing out the deadweight in places from your closet to your computer, and then installing systems that keep stuff in it's place. Organizing is a liberating and enlightening experience that can enhance your effectiveness and lessen your stress every day!  After completing this task I also plan to do some painting. A New Year a new look. They say change is good!! If anyone has pointers on staying with this task let me know. We can enjoy this adventure together (lol) by sharing pointers and ideas! ;) Have a bless day!!

Today has been a wonderful day! I spent the day with our family and relaxed watching movies at home! School starts back for the kids Monday after the holidays so it is time to get back to the real world Monday! Well this is my second day for the blogging adventure, I hope to have it a successful one by the end of the year. I am praying God will guide me through this as I meet new friends online and hope to have new Christian friendships online as well. I also have to help our 16 year old daughter who was just diagnosed  recently with Celiac Disease, with new recipes and getting her on track. This is a new adventure for our family and I put all our faith in the Lord to guide us through this. Well it has been cold here and it will be really cold here for the next week. I didn't get the Christmas decorations put up from outside as I planned today as it was cold, so I hope to tackle this sometime next weekend. I will accomplish the indoor decorations Monday afternoon. It is so hard to believe how last year flew by! A New Year, I look forward to see what the good Lord has planned for us this year!! Well time to go for now as we are planning to watch Monsters vs Aliens. God bless!! ;)   

Happy New Year

Well, I can't believe it is Jan. 2010! One of my New Year Resolutions is to start a blog. I am a Christian mother and wife. I will share some of the things I go through in daily life but won't share the personal things as you will probably understand. I am trusting that this year will be better then 2009 as last year was a trying time for our family. Our daughter had surgery lastApril and then 6 days later our youngest son was hospitalized for 7 days with Ulcerative Colitis, then in July I fractured ligaments in my left ankle. I know we all go through things in life that we have no control over that is why I pray to God when things happen that He will give me the strength and the patience to get through everything. We just have to have Faith. I hope we can share stories as I post. God Bless! Until tomorrow. ;)
