Im a bad Blogger

I have been gone a while from blogging....it seems like life has just taken over - literally everything. Our house was so messy, we took this weekend and re-organized EVERYTHING. We tried to deep clean and d-clutter everything in sight. I can say that we did well on the kitchen and living room. Redecorated a little and moved things around. As the holidays are starting to approach rapidly, Im trying to do too many things and what I really need to do is slow down and enjoy every moment.

I have to say that alot of blogs that i read really inspire me to decorate and get into the spirit which I have been bad at doing in the past. The kids are really into the holidays this year as they understand what it is all about. Last week I visited a store called Real Deals in Corvallis and found an awesome sign that reads, "Thankful hearts gather here." I hung it on my mantel so it is the first thing we see everyday. It really inspires me to stay positive and be thankful for everything, including my daughters Asthma which she was just diagnosed with.

I didnt really want to hear that she has Asthma, she is only two. But, the thankful part to it, is now I dont have to run to the doctor at every little cough and wonder why it hangs around for 4-5 weeks when she has no other symptoms. Now, we know what to expect and what to do for her. That is a blessing instead of always questioning what was wrong with her.

So, that is all for now. Time for us to have dinner and finish this mess that was created in order to be more organized !
