It's the Simple Stuff

Quote...Hugs

There are always lots of hugs happening around here but with Grady and Emma being sick I am finding they are more abundant and lingering longer and I'm loving it...so here are some "hug" quotes!!

There's nothing like a mama-hug.  ~Adabella Radici

Hugging has no unpleasant side effects and is all natural.  There are no batteries to replace, it's inflation-proof and non-fattening with no monthly payments.  It's non-taxable, non-polluting, and is, of course, fully refundable.  ~Author Unknown

Quote...friendship

Since my day was spent with my friend I thought that an appropriate topic for today's quotes....

Hold a true friend with both your hands.  ~Nigerian Proverb

We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade.
~Caroline Sheridan Norton

Quote....Cleaning

I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.... I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.  ~Nancie J. Carmody

My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be.  No one else cares. Why should you?  ~Erma Bombeck


 

Quote....Memory

I used to post quotes a lot...don't know why I stopped but thought I might start that up again.  So since I mentioned in my post today about remembering  I thought memory was a good subject...here are a few.

Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it." - George Duhamel

 God gave us memories that we might have roses in December. - John M. Barrie

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.  ~From the television show The Wonder Years

Quote for today....funny

Here's one that should put a smile on your face......

I really don't think I need buns of steel.  I'd be happy with buns of cinnamon.    - Ellen Degeneres

Morning Quote....

Today is your day!  Your mountain is waiting.  So....get on  your way!   ~Dr. Suess

Just a thought to think about as you go throughout your day!  Have a great day...I'm off to get my "quotarama" prizes and then lunch with my Daddy.  Then pick up Owen from school. Get halloween candy and maybe squeeze in a little pumpkin carving before heading to a America at Home party...anyone want to come along, they have really pretty stuff??!!!!

Have a great day!!

Its time....

for some more PARTYING!!!   So get your party hats on and lets go.....here is your next theme  (O and by the way, the reason that it took me so long to post another theme is because I had to go to the doc's again, new medicine, some insanely hideous stuff I'm suppose to gargle with, whatever, I'm over it.)

Friends

* God gave us relatives….thank God we can choose our friends.

                                                        ~Ethel

Watts

Mumford

* A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it.

                                                        ~Unknown

* No friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.                                     ~Francious Mauriac

QUOTARAMA.....PARTY

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED.....

KIDS

* Discovery wildlife….have KIDS!

* You can learn many things from children.  Like how much patience you have.                                                           ~Franklin P. Jones

* It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn’t.                                         ~Barbara Kingsolver

* Do your part to make this world a cuter place to live in.  ~Susan Branch

QUOTARAMA.....

Its been way too long since I've posted a quote and Jen mentioned the other day that she missed them so.....since I'm sick and it is currently quiet around here, I thought I'd make up for a lack of quotes, because frankly, quotes just make me happy (probably because they are so easily incorporated into my favorite hobby...SCRAPBOOKING).   So I thought I'd try to brighten my day (b/c I'm sick of being sick) and maybe in the process brighten your's as well by having a QUOTARAMA!  "What's this?" you may ask...well frankly its just something I made up but I thought it would be fun nonetheless.  Here's how it works.....I'm going to post a bunch of quotes throughout the day, probably by theme and then (here's where you come in so LISTEN up) in the comment section YOU post a quote that corresponds with that theme.   I'm going to make it into a game of sorts...for each theme that you post a quote, I will put your name on a slip of paper in a basket that my kids will draw from at the end of the night...that means there is more than one prize, there is a prize for each category.  AND the more quotes you post the more times your names goes into the basket!!!   The point of this is really to alleviate my boredom and hopefully provide you with some fun and inspiration throughout the day!!!   HAVE FUN!!!

Quote for today....babies

Since today I was able to celebrate new life with a friend, I thought baby quotes were the way to go....

This one is an absolute favorite of mine.....

Before you were conceived, I WANTED YOU.  Before you were born, I LOVED YOU.  Before you were here an hour, I WOULD DIE FOR YOU.  This is the MIRACLE of life.

                                                                            - Maureen Hawkins

The next one really makes you think about how amazing an instant love is when a baby is involved.......

It is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us. - Charles Dickens

And this one is in honor of Peyton Arthur Hilsher....baby boy #5 in the Hilsher clan.....

Begin, baby boy, to recognize your mother with a smile. - Virgil
