Motivational Mondays!

Each Monday I will be using my "Motivational Monday" platform to track mine & Nate's journey of Juicing. That's right we're Juicing baby! We are WAY overdue for a reboot! We are both "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" you can watch our source of inspiration by clicking the above link. Nate & I are equally guilty of loving all things bad. Is this conducive to living out our faith as Christians, you may ask? No, is clearly the answer. No judgments necessary:) we're our own toughest critics. Over eating? check! Over indulging? check! Over consuming? check! Loving Jesus, while living in utter sin & denial? check! Convicted by the Holy Spirit on all of the above? check! Ready to pick up our Crosses & follow the Man who has already conquered all of the above for us? check! Please follow along with us on our journey of faith, hope & re-booting baby!

Thank-you Lord, we know that ALL things are possible through Him who gives us strength!

Top 3 Things I HATE!



That's right I said it, HATE! There is absolute hate in my heart, I downright loathe and detest the following things;

1) keeping track of, health cards, passports, birth certificates, bank cards, library cards, or any other form of important paperwork! Here's a rant!; why please for the love of God, WHY??? do we have so much paperwork in what should be a paperless world???!!! Why on earth can I NOT keep track of this? It's "important" stuff to take care of & costly to replace! But I can't seem to concern or bother myself with it, until it's imperative that I need it!

2) Trashy magazines! Hate! With a capital H! Again why does this garbage get bought with hard earned dollars? Does anybody else out there look at a trashy magazine & then think to themselves "so this is what we've reduced a beautiful tree to???!!!" Why is it acceptable to reduce the beauty of a tree into gossip & smut?!

3) Taxes! I love paying taxes, when taxes are appropriately distributed and used for the good things they're supposed to be used for. I hate paying taxes to line the pockets of the GREEDY, rather than helping to feed the NEEDY! Also re-read rant #1 for further details on why I HATE taxes! There's an immeasurable amount of "important" papers involved!

4) I think that might do it for now, okay arrogance & self righteousness are also on my list of HATES! (But on a side note; I have a hard time ranting about things I'm equally guilty of from time to time!)

That's it, I can exhale now. That actually made me feel a little better! 

What sort of things are on your top 3?
Feel free to share your thoughts!

It's Muder's Day, Go Brush Your Teef!


I woke up this morning to Jackie kissing my face & saying; "wake up mommy your bref stinks, go brush your teef because it's Muder's Day!" I of course brushed my "teef" straight away & came down the stairs to find this beautiful breakfast waiting for me compliments of Sonny:) Now I ask you how on earth did he know that my absolute favourite breakfast is warm bread with fake cheese??? yummy! Jackie opened up the gift she made for me at school & then asked if she could keep it in her room? Tyson made me a paper airplane & then asked if he could "borrow" it for the day? Handsome Prince William made me the beautiful flower pot at school & gave me strict orders "not to kill it like you did last year." Happy Muder's Day! Now go brush your teef!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Being a Mother!

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby
That somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "Normal", is history!

Somebody said being a mother is boring...
That somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit!

Somebody said that if your're a "good mother, your child will turn out good,"
That somebody thinks that a child comes with directions and a guarantee!

Somebody said that "good" mother's never raise their voices,
That somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball into the neighbor's kitchen window!

Somebody said that you don't need an education to have a child,
That somebody has never helped their fourth grader with math homework!

Somebody said that you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first,
That somebody doesn't have five children!

Somebody said that the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery,
That somebody has never watched their child step on the bus for their first day of kindergarten!

or on a plane headed for the military...

Somebody said that you can stop worrying after your child gets married,
That somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new Son or Daughter-in-Law to her heartstrings!

Somebody said that a mother can do her job blind folded with her hands tied behind her back,
That somebody has never organized giggling Brownies to go and sell cookies!

Somebody said that a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home,
That somebody never had Grandchildren!


Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her,
That somebody isn't a mother!

Now I hope that I have done a good job in my research to credit this beautiful piece to it's original source?!


(Thank-you to the Author of this wonderful Mother's Day piece!)


Tell your Mama you LOVE her today & every day that follows! 
And if you're sad today because this day reminds you that you don't have your Mama, Hug a special woman in your life that deserves to know how very precious she is!
  
Also a BIG Thank-you to Pinterest for all of the amazing photos!

~ This Moment ~

Inspired by Amanda to share with you {this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
