Christmas Performance. Round 2.

December 16, 2014December 16, 2014 Danielle2 Comments

Today was Jaime’s Christmas performance and it was all the feels from yesterday repeated. Watching your kiddos perform and kill it is wonderful. Jaime had a speaking part and he was so calm and delivered his line perfectly. You go dude!   My shiny blue baby 💙 So of course the kiddos’ performances were in… Continue reading Christmas Performance. Round 2.

Poco a Poco.

Sometimes, I just can’t. Today was one of those days. Actually, both Monday and Wednesday were difficult. The reason being…Spanish class. Things just didn’t click this week.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” –1 Thessalonians 5:18 1. As I was going to bed last night, I was so thankful for a bed to sleep in. Yesterday I was exhausted and a bed and sleep were such welcome friends. Granted it’s a… Continue reading Day 3 of Positivity.
