Motherhood

It's officially Fall and it's pretty crazy around here. A good crazy, with lots of activities, sports, school, work and just good stuff. I'm constantly reminded how humbling motherhood is. I found this quote on Pinterest and I really love it. We're all trying to do the best we can and all of our situations are unique. I feel it's so important that we as women work to uplift each other as we navigate through motherhood instead of judging and tearing each other down. 

I need to do a better job of telling my friends what awesome Moms they are and what great examples they are to me...

A little scrapbook page about the things that make me happy. I bought this template from DD because its a different style of scrapbooking. I've tried to do this "cluster style" but my brain likes nice clean lines and minimal elements :)

Life is going great. Working part time has been a nice thing. I'm enjoying more of a balance this year. All 3 kids are participating in activities after school so it's been keeping Aaron and I on our toes. Fall is such a fun and busy time and I'm already looking forward to the holidays. It's pumpkin chocolate chip cookie season...doesn't get better than that :)

You are still a good person

This summer, I got a chance to meet up with my former roommate Cindy. I still remember that day back in July 1996 when we met like it was yesterday. She's one of the sweetest people around and it was so much fun to reconnect with her. Back in the day whenever something would go wrong or we would make a mistake she would say,

"It's okay! You are still a good person!"

We would laugh and then that phrase became our apartment motto. It's such a simple statement but there's some profound truth there. I had some not so good days this week and I had to tell myself that everything is going to be okay and you're still a good person.

So thank you Cindy!

When I saw this on her car, I think it quite possibly made my summer :)

Go Jasmine and Aaron!

My favorite guy and favorite girl are in the finals!!!!

I do love Fik Shun and Amy but I've loved Aaron and Jasmine from the beginning.

Let's hear it for the tall dancers :) 

Mom surprised Paige and I with tickets to see SYTYCD here in AZ. We can't wait!
