We are blessed

It's easy to be sad - to be happy takes work. 

 

Today a blizzard is coming and right now we have rain and flurries. Not fun. Not fun b/c it is 30 degrees out + the above noted weather. But today I feel really blessed. Really blessed. Blessed because I love our home, our family, our life. Do we have all that we "want"? no, but we have all that we need. 

Hannah and I baked a cake together, I set up my knitting and books in my favorite nook of the house & we have yummy pierogies cooking. The clothes are done, the house is straightened. The upstairs smells like yummy incense that I was burning for a friends loved one "Health" and later hot tea and some scary movies are in my future. Harrison & I played cars and Hannah told me "I just love you mom, because"......

Today is a good day and we are blessed for what we have. Thank you to Molly & Aunt Nancy and all that are looking out for us and blessing us like you have. We are very grateful and I am very thankful to your love.

Sunshine - at last!!!!

The weather in NEPA has been as schizophrenic as poor Sybil. But the few days of delicious pleasure we took full advantage of! Needless to say between the weather, the fun and the fresh air we have been outside a lot.

Because of that I have done some outside yoga, outside reading and toes in the grass time. I finished enLIGHTend and LOVED LOVE LUV it! It was witty, cute, and informative. Did I add a bit of inspiration as well?

My weeones were gifted a mini cooper as a 1st birthday gift for my littlest lovey.

and did i mention the outdoor yoga??

In other news - we bought a house! closing is June 3 and we couldnt be more excited. here are a few sneak peeks of my new digs that i am chomping at the bit to get into!

- Our Kitchen -
I love that the 1974 Blueprint Cabinet is now our island!

- Our quiet reading room -
This is for play, reading, puzzles, yoga, entertaining, talking, engaging

- Family Room -
The kitchen meshes into the eating area and family room - I love the floor to ceiling sunlight windows & doors - we will have a lot of fun & memories in here.

- Outdoor Fun -
Yoga, BBQ's, playtime with the weeones, quiet, peace and family time

Thats all for now - next time... a lovely review, moving chaos and hopefully my first summer margarita - OUTDOORS!

This blog is inspired by....

Hello all - im meg: a mom, wife, crafter, lover of fabric & yarn, obsessive organizer, music addict, food critic (new at cooking), multitasking energizer bunny. I have a great almost 3 year old lil' monkey, Hannah and a new lil monkey still cooking.

It finally hit me that blogging doesn't have to be all business. It can be fun & personal too. With all the seriuosness of life, sometimes I forget the things I love. Being a Type A personality dictates that writing things down helps me appreciate life. What better place to share inspirations than on a blog for others to post their inspirations too?

This blog is about crafting, family, cooking, friends, books, activities and daily happiness that's inspired by..... anything. They say before bed you shold write 5 things that made you happy for the day. Its a hard task to keep coming up with new ideas! Let's see what happens with this blog....

Things that inspired today:

Lavender & Fabric: I'm sewing eye pillows, dryer pillows and neck/back pillows out of some delicious fabric like Michael Miller's collection. The lavender makes everything smell yummy. Our daughter Hannah likes to help. "I help you, mommy!" - those words make me melt.

Happier: A great book on achieving happiness no matter what life hands you. A GREAT read. The title is linked to amazon.

Alpaca Yarn: A great friend is having a baby and gifted me with some yummy alpaca yarn to knit a blanket for her upcoming arrival. The color is the bottom shade. Taupey goodness.
