Bucket Fillers and a conversation...

So, the school/classroom has bucket fillers as their means of getting the children to behave and think of others. Although I see value in this, I also see where it has flaws. I won't go into the rambles of that, as it is not the point.

I just want to share a conversation that happened between Little Man and I at the beginning of the year. He was discouraged because he wasn't getting a lot of pom poms, but was doing nice things and doing as he should. However, at the same time a light when on in his head that made it Ok on some level.

He said you know Mom, I don't just do nice things in our class or when I know I will get the Pom Poms as a reward. I do them whenever I can because that is what God would want me to do. I do them for HIM not for the Pom Poms. As a mom, my heart melted, my eyes filled with tears and I knew right then and there, it never matters how many pom poms he gets. Because his heart is right where it should be.

Like I said, I'd love to find ways to do these at stores that I shop at.
I already have a pink shirt like that from The Limited. I have black boots,
Not that skinny of a heal though, but that's OK. I wouldn't go for the purse, it's cute, just not me.

Perspective...


The minute your feet hit the ground this morning, you were handed two gift cards. The first gift card is loaded with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The second gift card is loaded with little white lies, gossiping, sharp words, eye rolling, short tempers, anger, pride, jealousy, doubt, and hate. Both gift cards are unlimited, and you will use them multiple times today. Which gift card you choose to use, however, is entirely up to you. Choose wisely, because the recipient will know which gift card you reached for today. But only you will know which one you reached for more often.

Fashion Post and Where will this blog be going?

This year, I am not sure...I have ideas. But, no set plans. So, we will see where it goes in due time. Until then, enjoy the ride. :)

Today a FASHION Post...
Fashion, that's a topic around our house lately. Seems Little Man is acquiring a taste for ties again. Only, picture this...it's a white t-shirt,  jeans, black sneakers, a button up grey shirt (that is unbuttoned so you can see the white shirt) with a black skinny tie hanging around the neck 1/2 done. Different, but he looks cute no matter what! I like that he's not afraid of trying something new that he thinks is cool.

As for me, I would totally be seen in this outfit.. I always see these cute outfits on pinterest and notice they are from polyvore. Most of the items are spendy, but you can adapt and just go for the looks. This one is from http://www.polyvore.com and you can expect to see others from there too.
