Confessional Friday

Happy LOVE day 

Linking up with Leslie, right over here

We are not big celebrators of love day but I wanted to Confess some things I love about my Love

~How he works tirelessly for him family, like lots of overtime so we can have the vacation that we are planning this year. 

~ How he holds me when I cry because the stress of the world has gotten the best of me

~ The incredible Daddy he is

~ His love for Jesus

~ How he picked me above all else

~ How he lefts me buy all the shoes I want :p

~ How he brings me flowers on a random day just because

I Married one incredible Man and I am so thankful that today marks 15 Valentines we have had together. 

I love you 

I would not be the woman I am today or the mother I am today without my husband. He pushes me, encourages me, and motivates me to be the person I strive to be and to be the wife and mother that I should always be

Our 15th Valentine Day

To my Valentine, 

Today marks 15 Valentines of us! 

We are not big on celebrating it because when you are married to someone as great as you,every day is a LOVE day. 

You work hard for your family, always looking out to make sure I am ok especially if I am having a pain filled day, you are ok with me resting while you take on the role of Mommy and Daddy and let me sleep the pain away. 

When you hold me, everything with me is ok, no matter the problems of the day

What about the way he is patient with me when I get frustrated over silly little things? The way he leads our family in the ways of God and helps me to become the woman God wants. The hours he spends in prayer for his family. The ways he wants to be with his family, instead of hanging out with friends.  The way he is patient when I have to go to bed because my pain is so bad, so he watches Brooke for me. 

 What about the other 364 days of the year when he was showing me how much he loved me by being a godly leader and husband, tender and kind father?  Putting in a load of laundry when he walks in the door, or unloading the dishwasher because he wants to make things easier for me. Fixing me a cup of tea or running a hot bath because I needed to unwind after this crazy day. 

How it touches my heart to remember the years of extra jobs he worked to provide for our family during difficult seasons. or working all kinds of over time so we can have a fun filled vacation this year. 

I love how he works with our daughter, teaching her necessary skills to survive in this world, but most importantly, training her in the ways of God.  Showing Brooke a beautiful musical piece on the guitar that he composed. Teaching her that is is okay to be quiet, that we must at times be still to hear what God has to say.

I am blessed beyond words to have a man that loves me every day of the year…not just one day set aside to show love. I am thankful that God blessed me with such a man. I am thankful for his patience and leadership in our home. I pray that I will love unconditionally, as he does.

How amazing to me that this man~who never knew love, never was shown love~ shows the love of God so freely. He has spent the last 15 years showing me what love really is.

I love you honey and i cannot wait to spend the rest of my Valentines with you. 

Stainless Steel Cocktail Muddler

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This is the Epica Stainless Steel and Gridded Nylon Cocktail Muddler

I was so excited to get this and try it out in the kitchen, this time of year we dont make much in the way of drinks but it is also great for muddling spices, also can be used for citurs fruits.

The purpose of muddling is to release flavor-packed oils from where they're trapped in aromatic leaves and fruit peels

Some Pro's

Ergonomic handle

Nylon head wont scratch glass ware 

it is heavy duty, 

stainless steel and 

dishwasher safe( whoop) 

If you have never used a good muddler, then this one is for you. 

Head over here to purchase this amazing kitchen tool, you will not regret it and it just made your work in the kitchen easier 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Wednesdays for Women- Joy

{To Inspire and Encourage}

joy

joi/

noun

1. 1.

   a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

   "tears of joy"

   
   

   
   

   

   
   

   synonyms:

   delight, great pleasure, joyfulness, jubilation, triumph, exultation,rejoicing, happiness, gladness, glee, exhilaration, exuberance, elation,euphoria, bliss, ecstasy, rapture;

Do you ever wake up in the morning and you are filled with so much joy, for no apparent reason but you just know this is going to be a great day... 

Then you can't find your favourite outfit

then you spill your coffee over your outfit and have to change again

then the traffic is causing you to be late

then an email form your boss is taken the wrong way 

your lunch don't taste the way it should 

It don't take long for the joy to dwindle down does it

Joy need s to be so much more though, it is so easy to let circumstances take over our joy and we are going around all day saying 

"Wish I stayed in bed today"

or

"Can this day get worst" only to find out it can and does..

do you feel like that?

or

is that really just me who feels that way... 

You feel the weight of the world all on your shoulders, you cannot wait to leave the office and go home and curl up in your pjs with your favourite show on the TV, supper on your lap and kids all behaving, husband is staying out of your way and you are ready to relax. 

You plan to go to bed early and sleep the day off because you are home now and it can only get better.. 

then you get a phone call with some disturbing/bad news... 

How Joyful do you feel then.. 

We have to stop letting circumstances destroy our joy, some people think Joy should be circumstance based like they think happiness should be, not true. Off course it is ok to feel sadness, we are human after all and it is how we are made.. 

We need to activate our joy, let others see we are joyful. 

When people see us always with a smile on, it is contagious, we  will make them curious as to what we are so joyful about, that lady next to us at the cash may be having a "non joyful" day, the person next to us at the traffic light, the person on the other side of the phone may need our friendly self to give them that smile, they can hear a smile in our voice, it is proven, try it. 

So today, Show someone JOY, give them that smile, take away their frown, it will make you feel better and when you are having a tough day, think about that person who is hurting more then they are, show them the love you have. 

It will make a difference, I promise

Vitabath’s Cupcake Couture Collection has got me falling in love with it. 

I was thrilled when I found out I was going to review Vita bath products.

It not only leaves your skin feeling refreshed but beautiful smelling all day long.
