Giving Thanks for My Mom

Today I want to show appreciation for the woman who brought me into this world, my mom. And give you ANOTHER chance at a Kindle Fire!!!

My mom is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. She loves her family and will do anything to help them out.

She has always tried her best to be a good mother. To show support. And even when she had no idea what she was doing (she didn’t always speak English) she still knew she’d do anything for me and my sister. So thank you mom for all the years you sacrificed for us and for always being there when we need it.

So thank you mom, for being the provider for our family when it was necessary and for doing everything in your power to make sure me and my sister had the support we needed.

Today’s giveaway:

A Kindle Fire!!!

CONGRATS: Karen Roberts! I have emailed you!

 

Today’s a very special giveaway because I want to give you all the chance to win a KINDLE FIRE!

And I’ll be celebrating by being thankful for my husband and my son. They make my life crazy but fill it with love and laughter and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love these two. I’ve been married for 15 (LONG) years LOL. Through the ups and downs, sickness and health we have learned to be tighter and closer. And while I joke (we joke a lot in this house) our 15 years have been filled with joy, love, happiness, humor, bad puns, scary moments, tears, pain and hope. It always comes back to being each other’s rock.

I wouldn’t be who I am today without the support of my husband and his taking such a big part in ensuring I have time to write. So today I want to say thank you to him for being a driving force in my life and helping me so much when I need it. From running me a bath when I am in pain, to making sure I wake up to breakfast, he is priceless. Thank you, Mr. T for being an awesome husband and an amazing father!

15 years of laughter

15 years of silliness

I want to also give thanks for the little boy who took over my heart when he was born. I have no words other than to say: I love you more than my own life. More than every breath I take. And if I only had one breath left, I’d use it to tell you how much I love you.

The boy child who takes me to the limits of my patience but then makes me smile at the end.

The boy who knows how to hug me

because mother needs some baby love.

These two men have given my life new purpose

and I am so thankful for them.

Whether you are married or not, have children or not, I hope you have someone (furbabies count too) that makes your life worth living.

She’s been a great friend, an amazing mother and wonderful aunt. We love to shop together, go out to eat and do fun stuff with and without the kids lol. I miss her dearly and I hope she knows how much I care for her.

Giving Thanks for Family ***WINNER ANNOUNCED***

CONGRATS: Athena! I’ve emailed you!

 

Today we will focus on family. My family is my life. We are very close and love to spend time together. We especially love doing outings and now that I moved I miss them a lot. I am looking forward to seeing them next month so we can do some fun things again. My family is by no means perfect, but they are a great group of people who I love.

We all like having fun and doing things together.

Sometimes we don’t see each other for long periods of time but when we do, it’s like we haven’t been apart.

From close family to extended family to in-laws, I am thankful for them all.

And when we can, we always look for a reason to celebrate.

I am hopeful your family brings you joy too.

Giving Thanks for Friends ***WINNER ANNOUNCED***

CONGRATS: Wendy! I’ve emailed you!

 

Hi all! This is the week of giving thanks and amazing giveaways!

Today we will focus on friends. I have had some amazing friendships through the years.

Emely who has been a friend since we were in the 2nd grade. For almost 30 years I have known one of the most beautiful people life has sent my way. She is more than a friend, she’s a sister. I am grateful for knowing that no matter how far we live from each other, she is always there for me.

Another amazing friend I have known is Heidi. I met her first year of college and we have never looked back. She might live far but if I need her I know I can call her.

I have been blessed with amazing people like some of these lovely ladies:

Robyn who has become a great person I can talk to and who is always on my side. She is thoughtful and sweet and I couldn’t imagine not knowing her! In a business where so much is lies and fake friends, she has proven to be a real person I can depend on, trust and be myself with.

DeAnna has given friends that bring a smile to your face a new meaning. Whenever I speak with her she is always worried I’m working too hard and will make time for me even though her life is super busy. I can’t be happier to have her in my life.

Sheri, Jenn, Teracia, Jessica, Nicole and Bambi. They are the epitome of amazing. They help me so much and don’t ask for anything but my friendship in return. These ladies mean the world to me.

Tonya. Though you are gone, I have never and will never forget you. You made me open up and become the author I am today by creating friends when I was wary. You showed me what an amazing REAL friend was about and you never once turned away from me. You made time for me and when I needed you, you were there, guns blazing. I LOVE YOU. I always will.

I am hopeful you have great friends like this in your life.

Today’s giveaway:

To kick things off we will start with a $25 Amazon GC.
