Take a cuddle snooze

My sister was sneaky and snapped this picture of my son and I when we were visiting a couple weeks ago. At first I thought the picture was icky but now I love it. I love moments of snuggling with my kiddos...and my hubby too! The reason I love this picture though is not just because I love to cuddle and sleep but because it reminds me of so much more!

As a parent we have many choices to make. One decision that my husband and I made was for me to not work full time and be with our children. I do make some money on the side with a couple side jobs and from this blog so we truly have been blessed with these opportunities but no matter what, the time I spend with my kids well out weighs the money from a full time working mom. (I know many women do not have the choice so this is not to make you feel guilty or bad)

I know I am guilty of wanting to buy my children every thing they want but truly no gift is more important then TIME.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving I am so thankful for my hardworking husband and my two wonderful children. :) With Christmas also fast approaching remember that time with your loved ones is the best gift. Think about it!!! Instead of spending money on toys and things that are not needed maybe try a gift of time. Go bowling, game night, swimming, crafts, or look around your town and find an activity to try and buy a gift card there to replace a gift! :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
