30 days of Happiness - smell of autumn day 4

As much as I dont want to see summer go (and go early it seems!), it is so refreshing to walk out of the door in the morning and smell the clean, fresh air on fall. We love this time of year in our house, lots to look forward to: Appple picking, pie making, Halloween, Pumpkin Picking, Football and so much more. Look forward to sharing it all with you.

30 days of Happiness - Friends

So thankful tonight for my friends. Was having a down day today and my friend asked me over to scrapbook and my husband said go for it! So spent a few hours chatting, laughing and doing very little scrapping. So good to get out. I think as moms we tend to lose ourselves, our hobbies, etc. So it was important for me to do this tonight. Longer post tomorrow..I promise. Im exausted.. I am pushing back the giveaway to tuesday in hopes of getting more people to leave comments!

Day 2 of Happiness "Beauty around me"

Often, my husband and I will be driving somewhere and left almost speechless at the beauty that is where we live. New Jersey gets such a bad rap. But we really have a beautiful state and I feel so lucky to call this home.

30 Days of Happiness - Summer

Erin over at http://bluebirdbaby.typepad.com/bluebirdbaby/ is doing 30 days of Happiness once again and I thought it was a wonderful thing to do and may get me to actually blog!!

As the summer is winding down, as I do every year, Im wishing to hit the rewind button. To relive the days of shell collecting, bay swimming, pool time. Having 2 toddlers so close together has been very trying and this is the first year I have been able to really get out with them. Even took them to the beach by myself quite often this summer. I savor the memories of those days, just me and my boys sitting in the sand watching the birds and boats go by. I love how my oldest has become more brave in the water and my youngest a little less brave :)
I look forward to the summers to come with my boys. And I look forward to slowing down the next few weeks of the end of summer.
