Week 3 { Glimpes 52}

January 25, 2012 Posted in Glimpse 52

I must be a week ahead…in my mind. :0

This week is just like any other week in my life..work, kids, gymnastics, school..etc.. I love every minute of it.  One big part of our daily routine is reading with our kids.  My oldest daugher is in 1st grade and I volunteer each week in her classroom helping some of the kids in her class read.  Reading is SUCH an important aspect of our lives, especially when children are learning.  Believe me, as a mother, I know that helping a child learn to read can be a painful process, but when “it” finally clicks, I think we as parents get just as excited as our children do.  I still get excited when my daughter reads a book and adds the emotion correctly, or expresses her personality in the book.  I know, I know, it sounds  a little like my old friend THE SOAPBOX,   I assure you it isn’t. :)  It just breaks my heart when I am helping some of these children read and they are struggling so much and they tell me that ‘they don’t have time at home.”  It is our jobs as parents to help them and encourage them in their learning process and reading is one of those things.  So, all of this brings me to my post this week for the Chic Critique forum Glimpses 52 project.  I chose to take photos of my daughter’s favorite reading spot, some of her books, and her WELL cared for love, Piggy.  Because this is such a big part of our daily routine, it is a Glimpse into my life. 

 

Enjoy!

A beautiful quote { Freebie}

January 17, 2012 Posted in Goodies

Yesterday while I was on “that dreaded beast in the bedroom” I was watching Dr. Oz and the beautiful Goldie Hawn was on talking about youth, happiness, how to make the most of your life. She seems like such a lovely lady.  She said that she had a pillow in her house with the quote “the smile you give is the one you get in return” and I just loved that.  I think that no matter how bad your day may be, or how deep in thought, or just not feeling up to it, it is a such a simple gesture to smile at someone.  That may be the only smile they have recieved that day, so why not use those amazing face muscles and give a smile to someone..you might like the one you get in return. 

I decided I wanted this to hang in my house for us all to remember, so I made a printable and wanted to share it with you all.  I hope you adore it as much as I do…

Ok, Ok, so I am a week behind..I am posting week 2 and 3 in the same week.  (shame, shame)  Chic Critique Forum, please forgive me…

Week 3 is a glimpse into my living room..this is what my girls do ALL the time..dance and sing.  My oldest is dancing in her new dress from our dear friend Emelia.  She adores it obviously!  <3

 

P.S- this is SOOC so no fancy editing was applied, just cropping. :)
