{10 on Tuesday..life lessons}

jessica downy
 1. Contrary to the Facebook messages I've been getting from an old picture {2009} album  we DID NOT just have/receive another baby through adoption..D and I had a good laugh though....and we appreciate all the new congrats ......I wish it was true for today:) Life Lesson: Thats how rumors start:) and they grow up to fast.....



2. and then before you know it He learns how to climb out of bed and open his door all in the same day he is mighty proud of himself and now comes out at odd times 6:25 this morning 9:30 last night..always with a big smile and says "I open.... I out" its way to cute!..and usually twice for nap time though I am lucky he is almost 3 ha ha! and yes he still takes a great nap:) Life Lesson count myself lucky:)

2.soccer starts soon that means life gets crazy again.... Life Lesson enjoy the down time:)

4. I  love pinterest but sometimes after looking at it  I feel chunky and out of shape, that my house is ugly, dumb that I didn't think of that, a bad mom cause I don't do that .....do you know what I'm saying? I hate comparing its so dang hard not to compare ourselves against everything thrown at us....Life lesson let it go and move on Love this quote by Elder Bednar..
"When you find out who you are, you will be sorry you didn’t try harder.’
The understanding of who we really are, what that really means, and what that means we can become… can absolutely change our bearings in life. It can effect every choice we make, the way we treat others, and how we see ourselves.
It is pivotal.
5.  Have you seen this site its amazing! You put in your info and it prints of a fan of ...how much of your genealogy is done with names as far back as have been done... D's family: is pretty full mine on the other hand lots of work to be done! Life Lesson: There is work to be done:)


6. I love coconut oil for everything from a hot bath to a moisturizer to cooking:) a million uses............... I also love baking soda for everything from washing my face to cleaning my drains .............

7. I need a vacation. ...Life Lesson take one when you can:)

8.This is my homework queen always at the counter she is learning lots of life lessons and I am learning :Life Lesson Pick your Battles:) She is doing awesome!

9. K is growing up so fast he gets "things" like adult talk it makes me be even more careful cause I realize he is like a sponge right now....he also wants allowance, a job something to make more money, he wants specific brands of clothes and shoes... a little beyond my price range or that I like to spend....I'm a clearance old navy kind of girl:) Man I love that boy...he is so good....Life Lesson Take every opportunity to pay attention:) to listen to care to be there....

10.  I couldn't even think of 10 things to write today ....i had a good weekend went to a g.n.o, a womens conference sat morn for our stake and a Weiner roast fire bonfire with friends that was lots of fun, yoga Monday night all good fun stuff.......yet I still feel slightly grouchy, mean and irritated:( Life  Lesson its okay there are lots of days like that start again tomorrow:)
----------------------------------------
 Me thinks...

It will never be an issue everyone will agree on but those of us who don't think like them .....we are are the haters when it has nothing to do with hate.... how did that happen because our opinions differ and we aren't aloud to speak our opinions with out being haters?? Makes no sense.  Everyone will have an opinion as with many things.....but with this BIG thing it is changing our freedom of speech.......our rights.....the constitution....
 I CAN have an opinion and this is mine if we all keep quiet guess what changes 
E V E R Y T H I N G.
I love what Kirk Cameron said here
“I should be able to express moral views on social issues,” he said, “especially those that have been the underpinning of Western civilization for 2,000 years — without being slandered, accused of hate speech, and told from those who preach ‘tolerance’ that I need to either bend my beliefs to their moral standards or be silent when I’m in the public square.”

..... it is rolling, spreading and overtaking our basic freedoms, our right to chose where we stand.  and what we stand for.
It is severally eroding our society and rocking the foundation that builds our communities and countries, our schools, even our adoption agencies are being forced to close down .....because "they" cry discrimination and that effects us deeply especially those of us who can only have a family this way..... its life changing.....
....when you remove God and prayer and scripture and actually being and fulfilling and acting our roles as THE parents from life, from society, from our schools we have exactly what is happening in the world right now.....
and for those who's sole goal is to mess with generations to come..and we know full well who is working hard to destroy that.....and obviously there will be less and less of generations to come because well um yeah....

don't get me wrong  ...... we love the people 
its not about the people its about the act ..... its the change.....change to people, to society, to the world.....to tradition..to laws...... to essentially everything we knew....
 In a Godless society its easy to see how people think everything is okay........."as long as your happy....thats all that matters"
sad what some people think is happiness these days......
*This is my opinion I don't except everyone to feel the same..
Me Thinks = my thoughts ....

No. 4 - Well....I guess I should be grateful I am kind of slow about into getting into pinterest. HA ha. Awesome quote though!

No. 5 - Cool!! I have an old school one, where I had to fill it in all by hand myself. I take it with me wherever I go when there is a fireside regarding family history. Thanks for the link. Now I can make a more decent one! I have one side of my family going back all the way to Adam. But like you....there is always more work to be done on other lines. I really need to get back into helping out with indexing and searching.

No. 6 - AMEN!!! I love it too. I can't get enough of it. It's all over the net now too. So happy that many others are catching onto how good this stuff is. Bonus? It can just sit on a shelf...doesn't have to be refrigerated. And it NEVER goes rancid like other oils. Perfect for food storage, eh? ; )

P.S. Oh Man! Love your ME thinks!! Awesome! Thanks for the link to the article.

Have a great week Christal!

Fabulous post Christal! I love your Life's lessons after each one. You're too cute. Okay, so do you use anything else with the baking soda to wash your face? I would love to use it, so please share all. :) I've heard so much about coconut oil lately. I better get me some! Thanks for all your thoughts. Love em!

Funny as soon as you said interview I knew exactly what you were thinking. I LOVE that article. We so need more people like Kirk Cameron!

Love the quote from Elder Bednar!

My life lesson: I am really trying to enjoy the down time, we have a lot of it, and it will not always be like this.

A few questions... Where do you get coconut oil? And where did you get the 7 whatever grain cereal for that bread recipe?
And yes I feel the same way about pintrest. I have been working and not on it and it's actually been kinda nice! But that's not to say I won't be on it as soon as I am done this comment!

Kristyn said...

I want to know the same questions as above! Please and thanks.
That is funny about the congratulations you have been getting. K2 is too adorable for his own good.
