Sadie’s Property Laws

1.   If I like it, it’s mine.

2.   If it’s in my mouth, it’s mine.

3.   If I can take it from you, it’s mine

4.   If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.

5.   If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.

6.   If I’m chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.

7.   If it just looks like mine, it’s mine.

8.   If I saw it first, it’s mine.

9.   If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.

10. If it’s broken, it’s yours.

I am all about helping others achieve their dreams and wishes, I LOVE to be the one cheering on my friends and family. I’m the girl that takes the extra length to makes sure I’m extra cheery and ask “Good and you? been really busy?” to the young girl working the register at the grocery store, I love to be THAT annoyingly high pitched person, trying to brighten the day up, add a little sunshine if you will. I usually succeed at this, leave the employees with a smile and a genuine goodbye, life should be meaningful, and that’s a snippet to add to my worth. But recently, I’ve  been reflecting, and I do not give myself enough credit. The voice inside my own head, does NOT sound the same. It’s low, condescending and sarcastic. I put myself down nightly as I lay my head down quietly upon my cold pillow. I think, ” Nope, I didn’t do enough.”  This this this and that didn’t get done, I wasn’t patient enough with Aiva while helping with her math, burned half of dinner, ignored loving Sadie as she waited for me to please throw something for her to retrieve. I’m always focused on what I didn’t do, swearing I will the next day. PROMISE! Well, I don’t want to go to bed another night feeling this way. I do try, trying should be enough. Taking my thoughts captive and auditing my day, to me that means I care. I cherish every creak the chair makes as I rock Pippa. Every Time Maive needs a hug, I gladly throw down the towel and wrap all of me around her so we’re one. That right there should be good enough. That right there is where I should be measuring my success. It’s what makes my heart happy. To me this is all that matters. THAT is my SUCCESS.

Relish: An appetite for something, a strong appreciation of liking, hearty enjoyment, zest.

This is what I feel for my life, and this is where I will share all.It’s been a while, I have not blogged for about 17 months. Illness, Pregnancy,Aiva’s broken leg, Aidan’s PDD, Shawn working two jobs, … 2010 was a very hectic year, 2011 brought much love, a new baby girl, a  focus on regrouping, healing and loving on my family. I cannot wait to share the pretty things I make, my photography, the crazy love I have for my husband, my four amazing little miracle children and this overly affectionate-thinks she human, Golden retriever.

This blog is a place where I can share and document our lives, it’s value is how you can share on many levels. As a stay at home mom I do not see the growth in my children as others do, I know that this here blog will serve me well in years to come, and will be a precious gift to my children when  they’re  “all grow’d up!”

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you come back soon! May you find laughter, understanding and above all love in between my words, photographs & video captures.

Yours Truly,

Julie
