Don’t cry over spilt laundry detergent….
I didn’t. BUT man I was ticked!
It looks like the Downy was the culprit…BUT it was the brand new Costco size jug of Tide that was shaken from the washer and practically emptied onto the floor.
Just another day in paradise

If only I could remember to write down every single adorable thing my kids say and do! I seriously LOVE my children 
So the other day we were driving in the car listening to The Answer – book on CD. Not that I would usually listen to this with the kiddos in tow, but Aiden was totally into it so he joined me in listening. He was asking all sorts of questions about it and it was rather funny, though at times very repetitive.
So we get to a part that is talking all about how EVERYTHING is energy, and Aiden blurts out….
“POOP is energy?!?!!”
After containing my laughter I replied..ummm, yes (?)
The list continued the rest of the way home.
Trees are energy?! Rocks are energy?! etc, etc etc….
And if you have no idea what I am talking about “energy” this books is super cool and really helps you to understand the science behind the fact that everything truly IS energy.

Ya, I am adding a few extra loves to today’s list..I just could not choose.
1.
Sweet potato fries
Cut sweet potato in small strips
Cook with coconut oil in pan (I usually fry them for about 7ish minutes)
Sprinkle with Real Salt and Cinnamon (I don’t have amounts, I sort of just created this concoction last night. Just take a guess and add more to taste) Then I like to put them in the oven for 15-20 minutes. On 350 degrees
THEY ARE DELISH!
best part….they are healthy!!!!

Addi likes to run her food covered fingers through her hair pulling the sides out straight…

This is the warmer of the month for November and it will be 10% off all month long
HOLLY
The scent of the month is Holly Berry (YUM!)
Sweet, red berries and wintery evergreens with a dash of nutmeg and a hint of lemon, Holly Berry is an enchanting fragrance – the perfect
backdrop to all of your seasonal festivities.
Here are the rest of the Holiday warmers
I am totally getting the snowman one…LOVE it!
I HIGHLY recommend ordering anything you need to in November because it gets a little crazy in December.

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby brother who turned 20 today!!!!! WEIRD! (not that he will ever read my blog….hmmph )
Motivation Monday is brought to you in part by a great and easy book to read…
“Have you ever started to think about something you were not happy about, and the more you thought about it the worse it seemed? That’s because as you think one sustained thought, the law of attraction immediately brings more LIKE thoughts to you.”
“Our job as humans is to hold on to the thoughts of what we WANT, make it absolutely clear in out minds what we want, and from that we start to invoke one of the greatest laws in the Universe, and that’s the law of attraction. You become what you think about most, but you also attract what you think about most.”
“If you see it in your mind, you’re going to hold it in your hand”
“When you focus on something, no matter what it happens to be, you really are calling it into existence.”
“When you look at your current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you doom yourself to have nothing more than the same in the future.”
When you focus on lack and scarcity and what you can’t have, you fuss about it and discuss it and talk about not having IT (whatever it is) THEN you will never have it, because you attract more of what your don’t have. IF YOU WANT ABUNDANCE, IF YOU WANT PROSPERITY, THEN FOCUS ON ABUNDANCE. FOCUS ON PROSPERITY!
“What you resist persists.”
“Many people have sacrificed themselves for others, thinking when they sacrifice themselves they are being a good person. WRONG! To sacrifice yourself can only come from thoughts of absolute lack, because it is saying “There is not enough for everyone, so I will go without.” Those feelings do not feel good and will eventually lead to resentment. YOUR JOB IS YOU. Unless you fill up yourself first, you have nothing to give anybody.”
“Oftentimes you give others the opportunity to create your own happiness, and many times they fail to create it the way you want it. Why? Because only one person can be in charge of your joy, of your bliss, and that’s YOU…Your joy lies within YOU.”
“Remove physiological stress from the body, and the body does what it was designed to do. IT HEALS ITSELF.”
“Have an attitude of gratitude”
What you think about YOU BRING ABOUT!
YOUR LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS!
EXPECT GREAT THINGS!
LIVE IN ABUNDANCE!
Think abundance.
Feel abundance.
BELIEVE abundance.
Let no thought of limitation enter your mind.

Faith isn’t knowing that God can, it’s knowing that He will.

I can never get enough of this cute boy! I wish I could write down everything he ever says!
Aiden: “Mommy you’re the boss, huh!?”
Mom: “Yup”
Aiden: “cus you’re an adult…a grown up. Someday I will be the boss and I will have kids”
Mom: “Yes you will, when you are older, after your mission”
Aiden: “You’re also the law, huh!?”
Mom: “Kind of….me and daddy make the laws in our home”
Aiden: “Ya like a police officer of our home…. Would you want to be a police officer?”
Mom: “Na”
Aiden: “Why”
Mom: “Because I am a teacher”
Aiden: “Ya but when you grow up like daddy….THEN what do you want to be?!”
Mom: “I am grown up like daddy silly boy, I am a teacher”

When Addi falls asleep on my back, like this…….
The love of brother and sister! The relationship these two have is one of the most precious and happy times of my each and every day. I love watching them interact, laugh together, speak gibberish, wrestle and play. It brings SUCH joy, nothing can compare! Now I know what a lot of you are thinking (mom) “it won’t last forever” I am sure that is very true! SO I am going to enjoy the heck out of it while it is just the way it is
At Good Earth (Natural food store) they have these little kids carts which Aiden loves to push around…what’s even better?…when sissy is inside! They had so much fun.
^^I love in this picture that Addi is also sticking her tongue out!
