Ramblings, Sentiments, Rantings and Musings

My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Some of my all time favorites and my "for now" favorites...

Salty popcorn...air popped, not the microwaved kind.

Hugs and kisses from the man I love.

Almost any hot tea that I can put cream and sugar in.

DVR and the pause button on my remote.

Horses frolicking at sunrise manes and tails flowing.

Playing games of any kind with my kiddos.

The puffy faces of my children when they first wake up in the morning.

Sitting by the fire and roasting marshmallows with my family.

Listening to my children read to me.

Finding friends via the internet, whom I thought were lost for ever.

Fresh eggs every day from chickens at my home.

My life, which takes me by surprise almost daily, at how wonderful and amazing it is that it is mine~~~~~

Making this list is such a great way for me to now and take inventory of myself. Plus, it gives me one more chance to stop and be thankful for some pretty cool things in my life. If you made a list what would it say?

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
