Lil laid back 'n lazy!

Hi there friends!
Just poppin' in to tell you all that I have appreciated your sweet comments so much the past few days!
I am feeling a bit better; still overwhelmed but that probably won't totally go away till I'm done with my degree.
I spent this weekend trying to unwind, did some scrapbooking, played with the kids and had a talk with my hubby about how I'm feeling (which helped LOTS!).

My NEW way to each day is to find a couple things that make me HAPPY:-)
Not every moment of the day is filled with negative things; I need to redirect my focus!

So this post is just a few pics of things that make me smile lately...
Like the pic above- the boys having a bedtime snack at their trays... sitting nicely together! And lookin' so darn cute in their white undershirts ♥

All the buds on our tree, so green and new:)

Flowers blooming away...

Violets showing up in my yard:)

Tiger lilies are getting so tall already :)
My lil cutie who will be 3 on Friday!!
He's been playing sooo nice; the tantrums have ceased a bit, thank GOODNESS!
Saturday smiles on the slide:)

A bit of an older pic but my oldest son and his best friend, the sweetest boys you could ever find:)

A cute Easter gift from my mom... this lil sign and...

A confectionary themed gift wrap set; too cute!

Pretty purchases from Etsy; this one is from my doll friend Laurie Star!
I love all the bright colors; makes me smile:)

Remembering that we vowed to be there for each other ALWAYS... no matter how crabby we each get; not everyday will be perfect; the sun won't shine everyday but remembering our love will help us get through the tough times! My hubby is so CUTE! Oooohhh do I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over again ♥
 He and I have a lunch date today by ourselves; CANNOT wait!
I hope to get a new pic of us together too ♥

Lots of love,
Noelle ♥

So glad you are feeling better. We tend to get in ruts or feel BLAH! I AM so not a morning person.. and my poor kids get me "MOM THE CRAB APPLE in the morning!" I need to see your outlook and take on life and everday... SEE THE POSITIVE AND THE GOOD. You are doing the right thing, and I love all the positive pics. you showed. Cute boys w/ their trays.... love it. SO GLAD you and hubs get a lunch date, enjoy friend. Hugs, Jenn

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. We all have those trying TIMES!
First I couldn't wait till the kids got out of diapers And no more bottles. Then I thought it would be so cute when they started walking(what was I thinkin). Then couldn't wait for them to go to school (that just meant they could learn from the other kids what it was to be independant). Then came the teen yrs when I just hoped they would finish school in one piece (they thought they knew everything & to heck with school).
Then the struggle with what to do with their lives next and how to become an adult(boyfriends, marriages, divorces, babies...oh my). And all during those times trying to live and get along with a guy that I married (some how he wasn't as easy to convert to my way of thinking all the time).
Ahhhh yes, I do remember those times very well. I wouldn't trade them for the world!!! In fact I think I've come full circle and started all over again with my grandkids. LOL
