Wednesday Mish Mash

I haven't blogged since Friday!

So this post will be a little bit of this and a little bit of that - Mish Mash!

First order of business - I got an award! And I got it from TWO wonderful new friends!
Here's the award:

And I received it from Working Mommy over at Lessons Learned, and from Short Southern Mama!
I love awards, thank you SO much!

This one comes with these rules:

List 10 things that make you happy. (try to do one of those things TODAY!)
Tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day.
Make sure to link back to the person that tagged you!

Here are 10 things that make me happy, in no particular order:
10. My pets...they have been very entertaining lately and are so easy to please.
9. Diet Dr Pepper.
8. Listening to my kids playing together and getting along.
7. Blogging
6. Comments!!!

And if I left you out, it's not because I don't love you, it's because I could only choose 10!

One more thing, while I was over at Short Southern Mama's I saw that she was doing Wishful Wednesday. It looked like fun, so I'm jumping in! Visit the Seattle Smith's to play along.



I have a couple of dreams, most of them involve winning the lottery. =D
But I had a dream last night that reminded me of an old dream of mine....I used to always want to open a book store. In the dream I had last night, I was walking through a huge bookstore that was all color-coordinated with beautiful books and beautiful furnishings. I kept wishing I had my camera so I could take pictures, and wishing Elayna, my book-loving child, could see that place. It was amazing, and maybe one day I'll open my book store and it will look just like that!

Thanks for getting me OVER 200 Followers! You all are awesome. xoxo

Believe in Your Dreams

I have this sign hanging up in my bedroom.
I've had many dreams in my life, and I am blessed to say that many of them have come true. But there are a few that I'm still chasing, too. I feel like I will reach these goals and realize these dreams in time. I just have to believe in them, and keep reaching for them.

Do you believe in your dreams?

Are you chasing them?

Or have you given up on your dreams?
