I really love this time of year.  Because it’s a time where the family gets together a lot, and becomes closer.

I have introduced my step kids a couple times, but wanted to do it again, for those who are new to my blog.

I met them 6 years ago, when they were just little tikes.  Halle was 8, and Tyson was 10.

Now Halle is 14, and Tyson is 16.  It’s been so fun to watch them grow into young teenagers.  They are the BEST big brother and sister.

I really don’t know how I got so lucky to have them in my life.  They are the sweetest most loving kids.

I really can’t wait for Oaks to grow up with them.

They have always made me feel welcomed into their family.

Life as a step mom is a lot easier then some may think.  I have a really good situation though.

Their mom is the sweetest and we’ve become good friends.  Which makes it so much easier.

I know their are a lot of situations out there where this isn’t the case.  My case is very rare. 

It can be hard, but you have to look at the bigger picture.  

What will fighting do?  It won’t do anything but hurt the kids.  My advice is to just get a long.  Even if it may be hard for you.  

It really is important for the kids.

The reason, I say this is because I have been on the other side.  My parents got divorced a few years ago,  and it isn’t fun to be torn on either side.  

Whose side will you take… mom or dads.. that is how it felt sometimes. Which isn’t fare for the kids at all.  

Anyways, I won’t go into to much detail, because those aren’t my stories to tell.  

Life is hard, it’s all hard.  But life is amazing. So amazing. So just LOVE. 

Time passes so quickly, you never know what tomorrow will bring, so get a long, be happy, resolve your issues, and forgive.  

Family is so important.  

So it’s November and a time to feel gratitude for everything!  We should do this every month, but…..

The grass isn’t greener on the other side, so be grateful for what you have. That is key to true happiness.

Anyways, hope you have a great day!

Thoughts for the day. This is what I have been thinking about lately.

Some people think that if they get skinnier and leaner, and stronger muscles, that working out is going to be so much easier. 

Well, that isn’t the case.  Here is what I mean.

Working out never gets easier, you just get stronger as you do it.

You’re always constantly pushing yourself to work harder and harder, better than you did yesterday, better than you did last week.

It is never ending.  I constantly am having to push myself harder and getting myself to the gym doesn’t get any easier.  It hurts.  It hurts every single time, but you know what?  You learn how to bear that pain.

You get better at bearing the pain because you work hard every day.

It doesn’t just go with working out either.  This goes for everything in life.

There is no easy way to get somewhere thats worth it, and when you get there it never gets easier per say, you just get better and stronger.

Life is always throwing different curve balls.  That is so cliche to say, but it is true.

Another example, is when I started my blog, I hadn’t a clue what I was doing. Not one clue.

I didn’t know how to even write a post, or link anything, or take photos.  But I just learned as I went, and got better and better every year.

Learning from my fellow bloggers, learning from the internet, getting inspired by others.

Thats not to say I am perfect whatsoever, because that isn’t what I mean at all. FAR from it.

Just an example as to where my point is going.  

We all are striving to be better and better, but don’t think that life will get easier once you get to a certain point.  Because you will feel unfulfilled every time.

Fulfillment, is going to make you the happiest with any thing.  Being grateful for what you have and what you have overcome.

Life is hard, and we all do hard things.  Make sure that you are taking a step back and looking at yourself  and realizing this.

If you haven’t folded that 2 week laundry in 2 weeks and you FINALLY do.  Hell, thats freaking awesome.  

Give yourself credit and you will eventually look at life so differently.  when you start feeling fulfilled when you do something you’ve needed to do, or do something you’ve been wanting for weeks, days, years, or even hours.

Anyways, before I keep blabbing more.  Just wanted to share those thoughts with you.

You’re all beautiful and amazing.  Hope you have a great week!
