Goes Without Saying...: I could do that!

I could do that!

We all think it, you look at something- love it- and know that you could replicate it yourself for a fraction of the cost. That is what I think about these oversize panels... the room is really not that interesting aside from the panels- but I like things simple, you could pick any color that meets your fancy without having to commit it to your walls. Now, if I will actually take the time and energy to follow through with this masterful plan... we'll see, the list of practical things that I need to accomplish is overwhelming in itself. And how would you anchor those bad boys to the wall??? I have three little bodies that would have those pulled over on top of them in no time- maybe only two, let's hope # 3 isn't as wild as #1 and #2.

This is so clever! I love the way simple words are so eye catching on a wall, too bad they want an arm and a leg for it. Oh well, it's still fun to look.

I'm off for a girl's weekend, looking forward to the break! We work on our scrapbooks, (all though I am such a novice when I am working next to these girls) but who cares, these weekend getaways are the only time I pull out all my stuff and get something accomplished. We do a lot more talking than working anyway, it is such a good time. Who knows I might just get an uninterrupted nights sleep- if it is not one kid it is the other, right?.

Reminders to Self on Parenting...

Seek first to understand, then to be understood
-Covey

More important than speaking is listening.
-Jeffery R. Holland

If we wish away the moments they will be gone. The things that we wanted to leave-the mess, the noise, the obligations- will be gone, but so will the children! This is true with every moment of life. If we do not see its joys, if we do not make the most of it, it will pass- and so will it's opportunities.
-Jaroldeen Edwards

Sometimes weaknesses challenge weaknesses. Maybe the child who needs patience the most has the trick of exasperating you almost past endurance. Maybe the child with a flaring temper that needs control, repeatedly kindles your own temper. Whether at peace or at loggerheads, the two of you are joined together... You have lesson's to teach each other, and once you've weathered the process, you will each be more of what your Heavenly Father knows you are capable of being.
-Beppie Harrison

Do not find fault with every trifling error that you may see, for this will discourage your family, and they will begin to think that it is impossible to please you: and, after a while, they will become indifferent as to wether they please you or not. How unhappy and extremely wretched is that family where nothing pleases- where scolding has become almost as natural as breathing.
-Orson Pratt

Filling my Spiritual Tank...

Obedience brings forth blessings. Exact Obedience brings forth miracles!
-Unknown

I know in who I have trusted.
-Stephen E. Robinson

Your Father in Heaven knows your name and knows your circumstance. He hears your prayers. He knows your hopes and dreams, including your fears and frustrations. And He knows what you can become through faith in Him...Seek to comprehend the significance of these doctrines.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

I hope for you the very best that life has to offer, but I hope even more for a few simple things- things that come of the heart, things that come of the spirit, things that come of the divine within each of us.

When all is said and done, when you have lived your life and grown old as I am, you will recognize that it is the simple virtues that count, that make the great difference in our lives...

When all is said and done, our success in life will not be spelled out in the money we make, in the honor we attain, in the plaudits of men, but in those virtues which become the essence of that which is greatest within each of us.
-Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family.
-Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Simplification goes way beyond organization. It is not having "it" so you don't have to organize "it". It's not buying "it", looking for "it", subscribing to "it", insuring "it", building "it", or worrying about "it" in the first place.

Striking the proper balance is one of the keenest tests of our agency. Therefore, we need to ask regularly for inspiration in the use of our time and in the making of our daily decisions. So often our hardest choices are between competing desirable alternatives (each with righteous consequences), when there is not time to do both at once. Indeed, it is at the mortal intersections- where time and talent and opportunities meet- that priorities, like traffic lights, are sorely needed. Quiet, sustained goodness, is the order of heaven, not conspicuousness but episodic busyness."
-Elder Neal A. Maxwell

Have no doubt in your mind when you turn your light off at night, that you did your best that day. Then, proceed to count your blessings. Be grateful for what you have, not wishful for what you don't have.
-Kara Liston
