Welcome 2012...

Happy, belated, New Year!

I pray your year (and mine) will be full of God, health, love and family!

A friend of mine posted this on her FB page...

I really need to be better at doing this. So this is my "resolution"...to seek and find a more intimate relationship with God. 

Psalm 105:4 "look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always"

I spent Tuesday out in the office, doing some filing, getting ready for tax season and setting up new files for this year. It got me thinking and doing some searching about what I needed/wanted for myself this year. I spent a lot of time last year trying to get a monogramming/embroidering business up and running. But while I was filing, 6 months worth of receipts and paperwork, I decided that "my business" was taking too much of my time away from OUR business. And while it has taken time away from our construction business, it has also taken time away from my two children. So I decided that since my children haven't started school, that I need to put that business on the back burner. That will give me the time I need to help my husband in our business, as well as the time I need to be spending with my children. I will pick "my business" back up in a year or so, when my children start school. I really enjoy embroidering/monogramming and i will still take on clients here and there, but it will be mostly a hobby. It's a bit disappointing, but after a lot of thought, I realized that it wasn't about what "I" wanted or needed. It was about what my FAMILY needed. And I think this is what is best for my family. I won't have to stop embroidering/monogramming all together, as that I have a baby shower at the end of the month and another sometime in February. And my son's birthday party is next week and he has requested a birthday shirt. So now I'll get to work planning his "Dr Seuss" birthday party! I'm pretty excited about this party! I've seen lots of fun, cute stuff on Pinterest (don't get me started...that takes up a lot of my time as well!).

Birthday post to come soon! :)

Health & Happiness

Love, Play, Joy
