Spring Time Joy

Hello there! Have you been enjoying Spring time this year? I am so happy that we are finally having some nice weather and haven't had any snow for a few weeks!! Yay!! 

I have had some time spent with some of my favorite people and enjoying a conversational cup of tea. A tea party can be just the thing one needs to stir up some smiles and fun conversation.

We are getting ready for my daughters Graduation Party, so having fun with my mom and sisters deciding what kind of goodies to make. It will be here in two weeks! She already had one Graduation for her Associates Degree from college last week. It was so exciting. Next week, she will have her Graduation from High School. She is Summa Cum Laude. A very amazing feat and all of 17 years old. 

Please pardon me a moment while I brag, because I am a very proud Momma. My whole family are all so proud of her hard work and accomplishments, too. We are just so excited to celebrate her achievements!!

I sure been busy keeping up with all of life's demands. I been working hard to adjust to my dads absence from our daily lives. Trying hard to handle all that life throws my ways. All the while, I stop to notice and be thankful for every blessing. It can be hard to sometimes find that silver lining, but I must insist that we all should try real hard to always look for it.

Grief is a very difficult thing to get through, as many of you surely already know. But we are so blessed and know that Daddy would want us all to be our very best.

Hopefully, I will have more time to blog more often again, really soon. I miss my blogging buddies!

Here is my wish: That you all are happy, healthy and blessed!!

Hello sweet friends!

I wanted to share with you this little graphic that I made and with you all the best for this Holiday Weekend.

I really have not had the time to spend on blogging that I used to have, but I do still think about all my blogging buddies and wonder what you are all up to. I am looking forward to a great weekend with my very own family out of town. 

I know it will be tough to have our first holiday without Daddy. We all miss him so much. I remember every since I was a little girl he would help us decorate eggs and then he always loved an Easter Egg hunt. But more importantly, He would give us a bible lesson. (Which he did anytime we were around, anyways!)

Momma is doing as well as she can, and we are all surrounding her with as much love as we can.

It is a great thing to be able to spend time with people I love and I know that I am blessed.

 I am so thankful for my Savior and what He did and why we are celebrating this weekend, so that each and everyone of us have the opportunity to be together with Him again forever.

I will also indulge in a little chocolate and some other fancy treats. I know I will have fun with all the children and play a few games, and exchange in great conversations, etc.

I hope you make time to be thankful and praise Him for what He has done. He is so wonderful.

Blessings,

Too much SPAM

I have too much SPAM!

No, not this kind. I might actually enjoy that.

I have been deleting so much SPAM from my comments lately.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem recently?

I feel like turning back on Word Verification, 

but really don't want to do that as of yet.

Please tell me how you feel about the sudden increase in SPAM and how you feel about Word Verification? I really would like to know.

 Thank you for all your comments. I want you to know that I appreciate every single one of your comments!

Looking forward to Spring and the New Life that it brings.

Blessings,

Spring Cleaning Anyone

It is time to think about and do some Spring Cleaning! I love being able to open some windows and circulate some fresh air on warm enough days.. don't you?

I had been visiting over at Heirloom Treasures and it is a really sweet blog by Jeanette O'Donnell, she loves to sew Christening Gowns and sell them, garden in her cottage garden and she is also an author!

I was so please when she told me that I won her book in a recent give-away she held!

This is a great book, written for working mums. (Jeanette is from Australia, I love how they say "Mum"!)

But I think any body who is in need of some great tips on how to get organized and streamline the household chores. She writes it in Seven Easy Steps that can get the whole family helping out!

Jeanette, thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I don't want to give away her steps, but you should go visit here blog and see all her pretty ideas she has. And see about purchasing her book, too!

It will get your Spring Cleaning all geared up and be ready for sunmmer!

Blessings to you all,

Little Susie Home Maker

Thank you...

I want to thank each and everyone of you for all the prayers and warm thoughts, the encouragement, and love. Your sentiments have meant the world to me while going through such a rough time. I know I have not had time to thank everyone individually. Please know that all of you are a blessing to me, even if I have not had time to come thank you in a personal note. I am very blessed to have been blessed by you!

Thank you so much,

Susie
