Reflections!




Hope all of you have a fabulous and wonderful Happy New Year!!! I wanted to take a few minutes here and share some reflections of my year....in many ways it was a really challenging year, I was very ill for almost 2 weeks at the beginning of the year, went out of town to be a caretaker of my sister who was recovering from surgery, only a month later went out of town again, was a caretaker a second time for about 3 weeks immediately after returning home, began the long involved process of opening a website for my business, scaled down to only 1 vehicle, and had knee surgery. So many challenges...but yet within each one of those challenges was a bright spot that would spur me to continue on because so many wonderful things happened in 2016.

I got to see my first grandchild graduate from high school! What a highlight this year!

I opened a website for my business Scrapping for Less! This took many months of sweat, tears, and hard work but it finally opened in October and is thriving and growing!



And finally, the most thrilling and exciting moment of the year was the retirement of my husband from a long life of hard work and support for his family! We have spent the past two months just chilling and relaxing (at least as much as I can and still run this wonderful business that I have!) and getting used to retirement life!


I am looking forward to the wonderful things that 2017 can bring! And if there are challenges along the way as well...bring 'em on cause I know there will be something to learn along the way!


Our Youngest Grandson turns 2!!

How is it that the past two years have just flown by? Our youngest grandchild turned 2 last week and we were thrilled to be able to not only go to the beach last weekend...something that would not have been possible for this once grandma teacher...but being so blessed to be a SAHW/grandma this year we were able to go and totally enjoy! Pictures of that trip coming later! Anyhow on his actual birthday we went over for dinner and had cake! We totally love being with all of our grandchildren and are so blessed to be part of their lives. Enjoy his birthday through the cute sights of these adorable pictures!

This kid loves candy, but he gets it honestly from his dad.

Isn't he a cutie?

I found out he loves to play in the water.
We got in the sink to get all clean.


He needed some glasses so he could show off!!









Trevor had these little wolf ears.
He was hilarious showing us how a wolf howls!

Last Days of Summer Vacation with my kiddos!

No time for a Menu Monday post cause today and tomorrow are the last days of summer vacation with my grandkids. Will be having an end of summer bash tomorrow with these cute cupcakes...not my picture though...I will post mine tomorrow.  Tonight I will go spend the night with my daughter and her family mainly cause my 3 year old grandson has been asking all summer for grandma to spend the night with him.
